This is a 2004 paper but gives possibly the best introduction to bidirectional IIC isolated interfaces I've seen. It starts with a 1998 NatSemi low speed optically coupled interface and develops the speed through 5 stages to a dual 3.3V, 400 kHz (maybe) design. Probably as worthwhile for seeing the progression as for the final circuit. No doubt somebody here will have a faster/cheaper/better circuit :-) - lets see it. http://www.eetimes.com/design/embedded/4025023/Opto-electrical-isolation-of= -the-I2C-Bus --=20 http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist .
