The SI8602AB-B-IS is a bidirectional I2C Isolator with unidirectional digital channels. It is designed based on Silicon Labs proprietary RF isolation technology and offers shorter propagation delays, lower power consumption, smaller installed size and more stable operation with temperature and age versus optocouplers or other digital isolators. It includes hot-swap bidirectional SDA and/or SCL isolation channels with open-drain, 35mA sink capability that operate to a maximum frequency of 1.7MHz. It contains protection circuits to guard against data errors when an unpowered device is inserted into a powered system. Small size, low installed cost, low power consumption and short propagation delays make the Si860x family the optimum solution for isolating I2C and SMBus serial ports.
