The ISL8490IBZ-T is a highly integrated device that serves as a bidirectional level shifter and translator for I2C communication between low voltage and high voltage systems. It is manufactured by Renesas Electronics and offers several key features that make it useful in a range of applications.
The ISL8490IBZ-T operates as a 2-channel I2C level shifter, allowing bi-directional communication between two different voltage levels. It supports voltage translation from low voltage (1.2V to 5.5V) to high voltage (5V to 16.5V) and vice versa, enabling seamless integration between diverse electronic systems.
One of the notable features of the ISL8490IBZ-T is its high-speed capability, supporting I2C clock frequencies up to 1MHz. This enables efficient and fast data transfer between devices. Additionally, the device boasts low propagation delay, providing minimal delay for time-critical applications.
The ISL8490IBZ-T incorporates level shifting circuitry with built-in pull-up resistors, reducing the need for external components and simplifying the overall design process. The integrated pull-up resistors ensure optimal signal integrity and reliability, especially in high-speed applications.
Furthermore, the device is equipped with electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection up to ±10kV, safeguarding sensitive electronics from potential damage during handling or operation
