Ensure the integrity of your I2C communication by isolating and safeguarding your signals from external influences

Hardware Overview
How does it work?
I2C Isolator 6 Click is based on the ADUM2250, a two-channel, 5kVRMS I2C digital isolator from Analog Devices, suitable for hot-swap applications. The ADUM2250 bidirectionally buffers the two I2C signals across the isolation barrier while providing 5kVRMS of galvanic isolation. It transfers digital signals with data rates up to 1MHz between circuits with different power domains at ambient temperatures. It offers glitch-free operation,
excellent reliability, and a long operational life. The wide temperature range and high isolation voltage make the device ideal for harsh industrial environments. This Click board™ also possesses two terminals labeled as VIN and SDA/SCL at the top of the Click board™, where VIN represents the isolated-side power supply of the isolator, while the other corresponds to the isolated bidirectional logic-bus terminal. This Click board™ can
operate with either 3.3V or 5V logic voltage levels selected via the VCC SEL jumper. This way, both 3.3V and 5V capable MCUs can use the communication lines properly. Also, this Click board™ comes equipped with a library containing easy-to-use functions and an example code that can be used as a reference for further development.
Features overview
Development board
PIC32MZ Clicker is a compact starter development board that brings the flexibility of add-on Click boards™ to your favorite microcontroller, making it a perfect starter kit for implementing your ideas. It comes with an onboard 32-bit PIC32MZ microcontroller with FPU from Microchip, a USB connector, LED indicators, buttons, a mikroProg connector, and a header for interfacing with external electronics. Thanks to its compact design with clear and easy-recognizable silkscreen markings, it provides a fluid and immersive working experience, allowing access anywhere and under
any circumstances. Each part of the PIC32MZ Clicker development kit contains the components necessary for the most efficient operation of the same board. In addition to the possibility of choosing the PIC32MZ Clicker programming method, using USB HID mikroBootloader, or through an external mikroProg connector for PIC, dsPIC, or PIC32 programmer, the Clicker board also includes a clean and regulated power supply module for the development kit. The USB Micro-B connection can provide up to 500mA of current, which is more than enough to operate all onboard
and additional modules. All communication methods that mikroBUS™ itself supports are on this board, including the well-established mikroBUS™ socket, reset button, and several buttons and LED indicators. PIC32MZ Clicker is an integral part of the Mikroe ecosystem, allowing you to create a new application in minutes. Natively supported by Mikroe software tools, it covers many aspects of prototyping thanks to a considerable number of different Click boards™ (over a thousand boards), the number of which is growing every day.

Application Output
After loading the code example, pressing the "DEBUG" button builds and programs it on the selected setup.
After programming is completed, a header with buttons for various actions available in the IDE appears. By clicking the green "PLAY "button, we start reading the results achieved with Click board™.
Upon completion of programming, the Application Output tab is automatically opened, where the achieved result can be read. In case of an inability to perform the Debug function, check if a proper connection between the MCU used by the setup and the CODEGRIP programmer has been established. A detailed explanation of the CODEGRIP-board connection can be found in the CODEGRIP User Manual. Please find it in the RESOURCES section.

* @brief I2C Isolator 6 Click example
*
* # Description
* This library contains API for the I2C Isolator 6 Click driver.
* This demo application shows an example of an I2C Isolator 6 Click
* wired to the Accel 21 Click for reading device ID.
* The library also includes an I2C writing and reading functions.
*
* The demo application is composed of two sections :
*
* ## Application Init
* The initialization of the I2C module, log UART.
* After the driver init, the app sets Accel 21 Click I2C Slave address.
*
* ## Application Task
* This example demonstrates the use of the I2C Isolator 6 Click board™.
* Logs device ID values of the Accel 21 Click
* wired to the I2C Isolator 6 Click board™.
