MILPITAS, CA – April 22, 2010 – Linear Technology introduces the LTC4310, a hot swappable I2C isolator that provides bidirectional communication between two I2C busses whose grounds are isolated from one another. I2C isolation has traditionally been achieved using up to four optocouplers and special buffers, a costly, large and relatively complicated technique. The LTC4310 simplifies I2C isolation by encoding and expanding the SDA and SCL signals into four unidirectional channels, ready to be transmitted over the isolation barrier, and then decodes and recombines them using a second LTC4310, all while maintaining I2C signal integrity. The LTC4310 allows … Read More → "Hot Swappable I2C Isolator Enables Simple Interfacing Between Busses with Isolated Grounds"
