Beverly, MA and Biel, Switzerland. - January 12, 2012 -
IXYS-Clare, a division of IXYS Corporation (NASDAQ:IXYS),
announced the immediate availability of the first in a new
family of enhanced communications ICs, the CPC5902 Optically
Isolated I2C Bus Repeater. The CPC5902 dual, optically
isolated, bidirectional logic-bus repeater is the
industry's first integrated optical solution for I2C bus
design. This device buffers the bidirectional I2C clock and
data ports while providing 3750Vrms of galvanic isolation.
The CPC5902 supports both Standard-mode and Fast-mode I2C (up
to 400kbps).
Previous designs required an I2C driver IC and four
optocouplers. The CPC5902 provides an integrated single
package solution that minimizes PC board space and reduces
part count. Unlike competitive magnetically isolated digital
isolator ICs, transformer or capacitive isolators,
Clare's optical solution requires no internal clocking
(a primary source of EMI/RFI interference in designs) and
supports direct static-state buffering without refresh
clocks. In addition, the unique design of the CPC5902 offers
glitch-free operation as well as excellent reliability and
very long operational life. Whereas most competitive devices
work to a minimum supply range of 3.0V, the CPC5902 offers
more design flexibility with a guaranteed operation as low as
2.7V.
The CPC5902 Optically Coupled I2C Bus Repeater is ideal for
Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) applications, providing buffering
and isolation of the clock and data signals between the host
controller and the Power Supply Equipment (PSE) controller.
Additional applications include power supply high side
interface, I2C bus length extender and isolated signal
monitoring and control. The wide operational power supply
range specification of 2.7V to 5.5V enables I2C logic level
translation applications. The CPC5902 is certified to UL 1577
and EN/IEC 60950.
"Within the world of IXYS solutions for our customers,
the CPC5902 provides isolated connectivity for power
management applications especially for power control with our
Zilog MCUs," said Mark Heisig, president of IXYS-Clare.
