MPC5xxx/SPC5 14-pin 2.54mm Galvanic Isolation
Adapter
Galvanic isolation is used where two electric circuits must communicate, but their grounds
may be at different potentials. It is an effective method of breaking ground loops between the
two circuits. Galvanic isolation is also used for safety, preventing accidental current from
reaching ground through a person's body.
iSYSTEM Galvanic Isolation Adapters provide a basic isolation that withstands high voltages.
To prevent injury to personnel when dealing with potentially hazardous voltages it is
mandatory to have a second protection measure in place, in case the first insulation barrier
fails. This is termed double or, reinforced isolation. How should a double isolation be
implemented depends on the use-case or application setup.
It is a user's responsibility to check local safety related directives valid for his company
and country to make sure all requirements are met.
MPC5xxx / SPC5 14-pin 2.54mm Galvanic Isolation Adapter is used to electrically isolate:
· iSYSTEM iC5700 BlueBox in conjunction with
· 14-pin 2.54 mm MPC5xxx Debug Adapter (Ordering code IC50150) from the embedded
target.

Connecting procedure
Do not use a Grounding wire between the BlueBox and the embedded target since it
would counteract the primary functionality of the Galvanic Isolation Adapter!
1. Make sure your hardware is powered OFF.
· Embedded Target
· BlueBox
· Galvanic Isolation Adapter
2. Connect a Debug Adapter to the BlueBox. Refer to the BlueBox User Manual for more details
on connecting the Debug Adapter.
3. Connect the Debug Adapter to the Galvanic Isolation Adapter.
4. Connect 1:1 Ribbon cable which is delivered along this package to the Galvanic Isolation
Adapter.
5. Connect 1:1 Ribbon cable to the embedded target.
6. Connect BlueBox, Galvanic Isolation Adapter and Target to the power supply.
Use only original iSYSTEM USB-C Power supply for powering and connecting with the
Galvanic Isolation Adapter, otherwise the primary functionality of the Galvanic Isolation
Adapter would be counteracted.
7. Power ON the hardware in the following order:
· BlueBox
· Galvanic Isolation Adapter
· Target
If LEDs on the Galvanic Isolation Adapter are OFF, immediately turn everything OFF!
