Product Overview

The ISO1540 is a Texas Instruments low-power bidirectional I2C-compatible isolator for Signal_Chain designs. It provides two isolated bidirectional channels assigned to serial data and serial clock, allowing the SDA and SCL lines to cross an isolation barrier while maintaining side-specific signal ranges from 0 V to VCC1 and 0 V to VCC2.

The device operates from 3 V to 5.5 V supplies on both VCC1 and VCC2 and supports operation up to 1 MHz under the stated maximum bus load and current sink condition. Side 1 open-drain outputs support 3.5 mA sink capability, while side 2 supports 35 mA. Recommended capacitive loading is 40 pF maximum on side 1 and 400 pF maximum on side 2.

The package is an SOIC (8) D package with a 4.90 mm × 3.91 mm nominal body size. Pin functions include VCC1 on pin 1, SDA1 on pin 2, SCL1 on pin 3, GND1 on pin 4, GND2 on pin 5, SCL2 on pin 6, SDA2 on pin 7, and VCC2 on pin 8.
