General Description

The ADuM1254 offers two bidirectional, open-drain

channels for applications, such as I2C, that require data

to be transmitted in both directions on the same line. To

prevent latch-up action, side 1 outputs comprise special

buffers that regulate the logic-low voltage at 0.64V and

the input logic-low threshold is at least 50mV lower than

the output logic-low voltage. Side 2 features

conventional buffers that do not regulate logic-low output

voltage.

The ADuM1254 features independent 2.25V to 5.5V

supplies on both side 1 and side 2 of the isolator. The

device operates up to 2MHz.

The ADuM1254 provides a disturbance-free bus

connection for hot-plug connections on side 2 by first

precharging the bus pins and then monitoring the bus

state for either an idle bus or detection of a I2C stop

condition before connecting side 1 and side 2.

The ADuM1254 is available in an 8-pin narrow-body

SOIC package. The device is rated for operation at

ambient temperatures of -40°C to +125°C.
