Product data sheet
1. General description
The PCA9847 is an ultra-low voltage, octal bidirectional translating multiplexer controlled
via the I2C-bus. The SCL/SDA upstream pair fans out to eight downstream pairs, or
channels. Any single SCx/SDx channel can be selected, determined by the
programmable control register. This feature allows multiple devices with the same I2C-bus
address to reside on the same bus. The multiplexer device can also separate a heavily
loaded I2C-bus into separate bus segments, eliminating the need for a bus buffer.
An active LOW reset input allows the PCA9847 to recover from a situation where one of
the downstream I2C-buses is stuck in a LOW state. Pulling the RESET pin LOW resets
the I2C-bus state machine and deselects all the channels, as does the internal
Power-On Reset (POR) function.
The pass gates of the multiplexers are constructed such that the VDD1 pin is used to limit
the maximum high voltage which is passed by the PCA9847. This allows the use of
different bus voltages on each channel, so that 0.8 V, 1.8 V, 2.5 V or 3.3 V parts can
communicate without any additional protection. External pull-up resistors pull the bus up
to the desired voltage level for each channel. All I/O pins are 3.6 V tolerant.
