基于LTC4310设计的绝缘双向I2C总线通信技术

LTC4310是Linear 公司的绝缘的双向I2C总线通信器件，每个器件可把I2C逻辑状态编码成信号，通过绝缘层传输到另一个器件．接收器件解码，并驱动I2C总线到适当的确逻辑状态．主要用在绝缘的I2C， SMBus和PMBus 接口，绝缘电源，以太网供电和正到负电源通信．本文介绍了LTC4310主要特性，典型应用以及多种应用电路框图．

The LTC®4310 provides bidirectional I2C communications between two I2C buses whose grounds are isolated from one another. Each LTC4310 encodes I2C bus logic states into signals that are transmitted across an isolation barrier to another LTC4310. The receiving LTC4310 decodes the transmission and drives its l2C bus to the appropriate logic state. The isolation barrier can be bridged by an inexpensive Ethernet， or other transformer， to achieve communications across voltage differences reaching thousands of volts， or it can be bridged by capacitors for lower voltage isolation. The LTC4310-1 is intended for use in 100kHz I2C systems. The LTC4310-2 is intended for 400kHz I2C systems.

Rise time accelerators provide strong pull-up currents on SCL and SDA rising edges to meet rise time specifications for heavily loaded systems. Data and clock Hot Swap™ circuitry prevent data corruption when a card is inserted into or removed from a live bus. When a bus is stuck low for 37ms， the LTC4310 turns off its pull-down devices and generates up to sixteen clocks and a STOP bit in an attempt to free the bus. Driving EN low sets the LTC4310 in a very low current shutdown mode to conserve power.
