Product Overview

ISO1640 is a Texas Instruments bidirectional I2C digital isolator in the Signal_Chain category. It supports bidirectional SDA and SCL communication, with SDA and SCL pins specified as hot-swappable. I2C-compatible operation is specified up to a 1.7 MHz maximum bidirectional data rate.

The device separates Side 1 and Side 2 supply and bus characteristics. Side 1 operates from 3 V to 5.5 V and supports 3.5 mA open-drain sink current with an 80 pF maximum capacitive load. Side 2 operates from 2.25 V to 5.5 V and supports 50 mA open-drain sink current with a 400 pF maximum capacitive load.

Package and isolation options include the SOIC-8 D package at 4.90 mm x 3.91 mm and the SOIC-16 DW package at 10.30 mm x 7.50 mm. The ISO164xBD option provides basic protection with 3000 VRMS isolation, 6500 VPK surge test voltage, and 450 VRMS / 637 VPK working voltage. The ISO164xDW option provides reinforced protection with 5000 VRMS isolation, 10000 VPK surge test voltage, and 1500 VRMS / 2121 VPK working voltage.
