DESCRIPTION/ORDERING INFORMATION
This dual bidirectional I2C buffer is operational at 2.3-V to 3.6-V VCC.
The PCA9515A is a BiCMOS integrated circuit intended for I2C bus and SMBus systems applications. The
device contains two identical bidirectional open-drain buffer circuits that enable I2C and similar bus systems to
be extended without degradation of system performance. Both buffers specifically are designed to support the
standard low-level-contention arbitration of the I2C bus and support clock stretching.
The PCA9515A buffers both the serial data (SDA) and serial clock (SCL) signals on the I2C bus, while retaining
all the operating modes and features of the I2C system. This enables two buses of 400-pF bus capacitance to be
connected in an I2C application.
The I2C bus capacitance limit of 400 pF restricts the number of devices and bus length. Using the PCA9515A
enables the system designer to isolate two halves of a bus, accommodating more I2C devices or longer trace
lengths.
