ISO1540 Hot Swappable

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: ISO1540

Is the ISO1540 hot swappable?  At the bottom of page 5 there is a VCC Undervoltage Lockout Threshold parameter.  The datasheet does not provide a description of the state of the signals.  I need to isolate an I2C device from the main I2C bus because this device can be switched on and off from a separate power source.


My configuration is as follows:

Side 1:  I2C Compatible Device.  This device is powered from VCC1.

Side 2:  I2C bus with a single Master and multiple I2C devices.  Both devices are powered from VCC2.


Theory of operation:

Side 2 of the I2C bus will normally be active with both the master and slave device powered from VCC2.  The device on side 1 will initially be off.  At some point in time, the device on side 1 will be switched on.  I want to ensure the following:

1) When the device on side 1 is off, side 2 is unaffected. 

2) When the device is switched on, the state of the I2C bus will not be affected by the transition.

Thanks!

    Hi Steve,

    Sorry for the very delayed response.

    1) When the device on side 1 is off, side 2 is unaffected. 

    >> ISO1540 will meet this requirement. If side 2 of ISO1540 is stable, not having side 1 supply is not a problem.

    2) When the device is switched on, the state of the I2C bus will not be affected by the transition.

    >> This condition is difficult to analyze and we cannot say for sure what the impact will be. If side 1 wakes up at the same time when there's a transition on the bus, that particular transition could be impacted.

    Rgds,
