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.

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).

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.
