DESCRIPTION/ORDERING INFORMATION
This dual bidirectional I
2
C buffer is operational at 2.7 V to 5.5 V.
The PCA9517 is a BiCMOS integrated circuit intended for I
2
C 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 I
2
C 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 I
2
C bus, thus allowing
two buses of 400-pF bus capacitance to be connected in an I
2
C 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 (V
CCB
and/or V
CCA
= 0 V).
