Product details

The hot-swappable flag means the ISO1640DWR handles live insertion without glitching the bus or latching up — the SDA/SCL lines stay high-impedance until the supply settles. That is the difference between a field-swappable module and a power-cycle-every-time design.

Propagation delay and timing margin

Max propagation delay is 70ns low-to-high, 88ns high-to-low, with pulse-width distortion capped at 45ns. The 24ns rise / 16ns fall times are typical.

No isolated power on board — the part draws its supply from the I2C bus side; you still need a separate isolated DC-DC if the two sides do not share a common ground reference.

Frequently asked questions

Does ISO1640DWR support hot swapping?

Yes, the part is described as hot-swappable. The I2C bus lines remain high-impedance during power-up and power-down, allowing live insertion without bus lock-up.

Can ISO1640DWR replace ADUM1250?

Both are bidirectional I2C isolators, but the ADUM1250 uses magnetic coupling and has a different pinout. The ISO1640DWR uses capacitive coupling and offers 5000Vrms isolation versus the ADUM1250's 2500Vrms. A board respin is required — not a socket swap.

What is ISO1640DWR's listed type?

The device type is I2C, a bidirectional digital isolator for the I2C bus protocol.
