3 Description
The TCA9617B is a BiCMOS dual bidirectional buffer
intended for I2C bus and SMBus systems. It can
provide bidirectional voltage-level translation (up-
translation and down-translation) between low
voltages (down to 0.8 V) and higher voltages (2.2 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 TCA9617B buffers both the serial data (SDA)
and the serial clock (SCL) signals on the I2C bus,
allowing two buses of 550 pF to be connected in an
I2C application. This device can also be used to
isolate two halves of a bus for voltage and
capacitance.
