Hardware Overview
How does it work?
I2C Isolator 5 Click is based on the ISO1644, a hot-swappable bidirectional I2C isolator with enhanced EMC and GPIOs from Texas Instruments. The ISO1644 bidirectionally buffers the two I2C signals across the isolation barrier while providing 5kVRMS of galvanic isolation. The isolation barrier consists of a double capacitive silicon dioxide and includes basic and reinforced insulation devices. In addition, the ISO1644 also integrates three unidirectional CMOS isolation channels with up to 50Mbps speed, which can be used for static GPIO signal isolation. It also integrates the logic required to support
bidirectional channels. The ISO1644 supports I2C 2-Wire bidirectional data transfer between a host device and several peripheral devices, where the host MCU controls the bus, specifically the serial clock (SCL) line. The data transfer can be made in standard, fast, fast-mode plus, and high-speed mode with speeds up to 3.4Mbps. As for three GPIO lines, the ISO1644 consists of two lines in one direction and one in the opposite direction. It could be used for any GPIO purpose. This Click board™ poses a terminal with isolated SCL and SDA lines. Besides, the terminal consists of VCC and GND lines and OUTA, OUTB, and INA, labeling
the direction of the lines. Those GPIO lines are connected to the mikroBUS™ socket, thus the host MCU, via OTA, OTB, and INA pins. If that suits your needs, you can pull up the isolated I2C lines via unpopulated R6 and R7 jumpers. 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
Curiosity PIC32 MZ EF development board is a fully integrated 32-bit development platform featuring the high-performance PIC32MZ EF Series (PIC32MZ2048EFM) that has a 2MB Flash, 512KB RAM, integrated FPU, Crypto accelerator, and excellent connectivity options. It includes an integrated programmer and debugger, requiring no additional hardware. Users can expand
functionality through MIKROE mikroBUS™ Click™ adapter boards, add Ethernet connectivity with the Microchip PHY daughter board, add WiFi connectivity capability using the Microchip expansions boards, and add audio input and output capability with Microchip audio daughter boards. These boards are fully integrated into PIC32’s powerful software framework, MPLAB Harmony,
which provides a flexible and modular interface to application development a rich set of inter-operable software stacks (TCP-IP, USB), and easy-to-use features. The Curiosity PIC32 MZ EF development board offers expansion capabilities making it an excellent choice for a rapid prototyping board in Connectivity, IOT, and general-purpose applications.

Application Output
1. Application Output - In Debug mode, the 'Application Output' window enables real-time data monitoring, offering direct insight into execution results. Ensure proper data display by configuring the environment correctly using the provided tutorial.

2. UART Terminal - Use the UART Terminal to monitor data transmission via a USB to UART converter, allowing direct communication between the Click board™ and your development system. Configure the baud rate and other serial settings according to your project's requirements to ensure proper functionality. For step-by-step setup instructions, refer to the provided tutorial.

3. Plot Output - The Plot feature offers a powerful way to visualize real-time sensor data, enabling trend analysis, debugging, and comparison of multiple data points. To set it up correctly, follow the provided tutorial, which includes a step-by-step example of using the Plot feature to display Click board™ readings. To use the Plot feature in your code, use the function: plot(*insert_graph_name*, variable_name);. This is a general format, and it is up to the user to replace 'insert_graph_name' with the actual graph name and 'variable_name' with the parameter to be displayed.

*
* # Description
* This library contains API for the I2C Isolator 5 click driver.
* This demo application shows an example of an I2C Isolator 5 click
* wired to the VAV Press click for reading
* differential pressure and temperature measurement.
*
* The demo application is composed of two sections :
*
* ## Application Init
* Initialization of I2C module and log UART.
* After driver initialization and default settings,
* the app set VAV Press click I2C slave address ( 0x5C )
* and enable device.
*
* ## Application Task
* This is an example that shows the use of an I2C Isolator 5 click board™.
* Logs pressure difference [ Pa ] and temperature [ degree Celsius ] values
* of the VAV Press click written to the I2C Isolator 5 click board™.
* Results are being sent to the Usart Terminal where you can track their changes.
