6 EVM Schematic and PCB
The ISO1644DW isolated I
2
C EVM comes with an ISO1644DW installed in place of U1. This EVM can also
be configured for use with an ISO1642DW or ISO1643DW. Each signal line (SDAx, SCLx) is configured with a
3.3-kΩ pullup resistor (R1 to R4) to the corresponding power supply (VCCx). These resistors may be replaced
with 0805 resistors of other values per the application requirements. For insight on calculating appropriate pullup
resistor values for I

Note
ISO164x devices are designed to sink different amounts of current on side 1 and side 2, be careful to
choose resistors that keep I
OL1
and I
OL2
within the recommended operating range if replacing resistors
R1 to R4.
Signal pins may be tied directly to ground using the header pins (J1 on side 1; J2 on side 2) to simulate a
device pulling the I
2
C line low. While not being actively driven low, the lines will be pulled up through the included
pullup resistors.
Signal lines should not be tied directly to a supply voltage without a pullup resistor to
limit input current
. These jumpers also provide input /output signal access, including for oscilloscope probes, to
each pin.
Note
Ensure that SDAx and SCLx signal lines are not tied directly to VCCx. A current-limiting pullup resistor
is required, and populated by default, to limit current in the cases where the device pins drive a
low-voltage.
