DS3205
Hot-Swappable Bus Buffer for
I2C, SMBus, IPMI, and ATCA
General Description
The DS3205 bus buffer enables hot insertion and
extraction of boards without corruption of the
backplane’s 2-wire bus (I2C, SMBus™, IPMI, etc.).
When a board is inserted, the DS3205 presents high-
impedance SCL and SDA connections to the
backplane until VDD rises above 2.5V. During normal
operation, the DS3205 provides bidirectional
buffering to keep backplane and board capacitances
isolated.
Rise-time accelerators on each 2-wire bus pin enable
the use of lower current pullup resistors while still
meeting rise-time requirements.
Applications
Hot-Swappable Boards for AdvancedTCA®,
CompactPCI®, VME, and Other Backplanes in
Chassis-Oriented Telecom, Datacom,
Computing, and Storage Systems
Capacitance Buffer
Bus Extender
