2 Description
This dual bidirectional I2C buffer is operational at
2.7 V to 5.5 V.
The PCA9517 is a BiCMOS integrated circuit
intended for I2C bus and SMBus systems. It can also
provide bidirectional voltage-level translation (up-
translation/down-translation) between low voltages
(down to 0.9 V) and higher voltages (2.7 V to 5.5 V)
in mixed-mode applications. This device enables I2C
and similar bus systems to be extended, without
degradation of performance even during level shifting.
The PCA9517 buffers both the serial data (SDA) and
the serial clock (SCL) signals on the I2C bus, thus
allowing two buses of 400-pF bus capacitance to be
connected in an I2C application. This device can also
be used to isolate two halves of a bus for voltage and
capacitance.
The PCA9517 has two types of drivers—A-side
drivers and B-side drivers. All inputs and I/Os are
overvoltage tolerant to 5.5 V, even when the device is
unpowered (VCCB and/or VCCA = 0 V).
The PCA9517 doesnot support clock stretching and
arbitration across the repeater.
