## Description

The Adafruit ISO1540 Bidirectional I2C Isolator provides full electrical isolation between two sides of an I2C bus, using the TI ISO1540 chip with 2500 V-RMS isolation. It's ideal for separating earth-grounded circuits, reducing noise, or protecting sensitive equipment in power monitoring setups. Fully bidirectional with support for clock stretching and up to 1 MHz I2C clock rates, each side operates independently at 3V to 5.5V with its own power supply. STEMMA QT / Qwiic connectors on both sides allow solderless wiring, and green LEDs confirm power on each half. Key Features 2500 V-RMS Isolation – Full galvanic isolation between I2C bus sides Bidirectional I2C – Transparent data transfer in both directions with clock stretching support Up to 1 MHz I2C Clock – Standard, fast, and fast-mode plus compatible 3V – 5.5V Per Side – Independent power and logic levels on each side ±50 kV/µs Transient Immunity – Protection against high-speed voltage transients −40°C to +125°C Operating Range – Industrial temperature rating STEMMA QT / Qwiic Connectors – One on each isolated side for solderless wiring 10 kΩ Pull-ups – Built-in on both sides, connected to their respective VCC Power LEDs – Green LED on each side confirms power is connected Safety Certifications 4242 V-PK isolation per DIN VDE V 0884-11:2017-01 2500 V-RMS for 1 minute per UL 1577 CSA approved per IEC 60950-1 and IEC 62368-1 HBM ESD protection: 4 kV on all pins, 8 kV on bus pins Ideal For Isolating earth-grounded equipment from microcontroller I2C buses Power monitoring systems requiring galvanic isolation Noise reduction on I2C buses in electrically noisy environments Safety-critical applications requiring certified isolation Package Contents 1× Adafruit ISO1540 Bidirectional I2C Isolator Breakout 1× Header Strip Note: Both sides must be independently powered for the isolator to function.
