DESCRIPTION
LTM2892-I
I2C µModule Isolator
Demonstration circuit 1986A is an I2C µModule
®
Isolator
featuring the LTM2892-I. The demo circuit operates from
external supply voltages on VCC1, VL1, VCC2, and VL2. It
communicates all necessary signaling across the isolation
barrier through LTC’s Isolator™ µModule Technology.

VL1, VL2 Logic Supply Range 3.0 5.5 V
fMAX Maximum Data Rate INx →OUTx, CL= 15pF 20 MHz
I2C Communication 400 kHz
VIORM Maximum Working Insulation Voltage GND1 to GND2 850 VDC

Common Mode Transient Immunity 50 kV/µs
The LTM2892-I requires two to four external power sup-
plies for operation, one for power and one for the signal
interface, on each side of the isolation barrier. The logic
supplies may be tied to the input supplies. Isolation is
maintained by the separation of GND1 and GND2 where
significant operating voltages and transients can exist
without affecting the operation of the LTM2892-I. The ON1
and/or ON2 pins enable or shut down the LTM2892-I, both
must be driven to their respective logic supply voltage for
proper operation. All I2C or digital signals are referenced
to the logic supply pins VL1 or VL2.
I2C signaling does not require any additional components.
The demo board includes pull-up resistors on SDA1 and
SCLIN. SCLOUT and SDA2 donot require external pull-ups,
SCLOUT is a push-pull output and SDA2 is pulled high
through an integral current source within the LTM2892-I.
Do not use external pull-up resistors or current sources
on SCLOUT or SDA2.
I2C signaling is configured by defining the LTM2892-I
pins as follows:
Logic Side: SCLIN = SCL(IN), and SDA1 = SDA(IN).
IsolatedSide: SCLOUT= SCL(OUT),SDA2 =SDA(OUT).
Reference Figure 1 for schematic representation.
No special precautions are required for low RF emissions.
EMI performance is shown in Figure 2, measured using
a gigahertz transverse electromagnetic (GTEM) cell and
method detailed in IEC 61000-4-20, Testing and Measure-
ment Techniques – Emission and Immunity Testing in
Transverse Electromagnetic Waveguides.

QUICK START PROCEDURE
Demonstration circuit 1986A is easy to set up and evalu-
ate the performance of the LTM2892-I. Refer to Figure 3
for proper measurement equipment setup and follow the
procedure below.
NOTE: When measuring the input or output voltage ripple
or high speed signals, care must be taken to avoid a long
ground lead on the oscilloscope probe.
1. Install jumpers as shown in Figure 3 and the schematic
diagram.
2. With power off, connect the input power supplies to
VCC1 - GND1 and VCC2 - GND2 as shown.
3. Turn on the power at the input.
NOTE: Make sure that the input voltage does not ex-
ceed6V.
4. Configure jumpers or connect signals to turrets as ap-
propriate. If a signal is connected to an input channel
turret the associated channel jumper must be removed
for proper operation.
