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
Clicker 4 for STM32F4 is a compact development board designed as a complete solution that you can use to quickly build your own gadgets with unique functionalities. Featuring an STM32F407VGT6 MCU, four mikroBUS™ sockets for Click boards™ connectivity, power management, and more, it represents a perfect solution for the rapid development of many different types of applications. At its core is an STM32F407VGT6 MCU, a powerful microcontroller by STMicroelectronics based on the high-performance
Arm® Cortex®-M4 32-bit processor core operating at up to 168 MHz frequency. It provides sufficient processing power for the most demanding tasks, allowing Clicker 4 to adapt to any specific application requirements. Besides two 1x20 pin headers, four improved mikroBUS™ sockets represent the most distinctive connectivity feature, allowing access to a huge base of Click boards™, growing on a daily basis. Each section of Clicker 4 is clearly marked, offering an intuitive and clean interface. This makes working with the
development board much simpler and, thus, faster. The usability of Clicker 4 doesn’t end with its ability to accelerate the prototyping and application development stages: it is designed as a complete solution that can be implemented directly into any project, with no additional hardware modifications required. Four mounting holes [4.2mm/0.165”] at all four corners allow simple installation by using mounting screws.

Application Output via Debug Mode
1. Once the code example is loaded, pressing the "DEBUG" button initiates the build process, programs it on the created setup, and enters Debug mode.
2. After the programming is completed, a header with buttons for various actions within the IDE becomes visible. Clicking the green "PLAY" button starts reading the results achieved with the Click board™. The achieved results are displayed in the Application Output tab.

*
* # 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™.
