General description
The PCA9509A is a level translating I2C-bus/SMBus repeater with two voltage supplies that enables processor low voltage 2-wire serial bus to interface with standard I2C-bus or SMBus I/O. While retaining all the operating modes and features of the I2C-bus system during the level shifts, it also permits extension of the I2C-bus by providing bidirectional buffering for both the data (SDA) and the clock (SCL) lines, thus enabling the I2C-bus or SMBus maximum capacitance of 400 pF on the higher voltage side. Port A allows a voltage range from 0.8 V to 1.5 V and requires no external pull-up resistors due to the internal current source. Port B allows a voltage range from 2.3 V to 5.5 V and is overvoltage tolerant. Both port A and port B SDA and SCL pins are high-impedance when the PCA9509A is unpowered.
FEATUREs and benefits
◾ Bidirectional buffer isolates capacitance and allows 400 pF on port B of the device
◾ Voltage level translation from port A (0.8 V to 1.5 V) to port B (2.3 V to 5.5 V)
◾ Requires no external pull-up resistors on lower voltage port A
◾ Active HIGH repeater enable input disables current mirrors and current source to
reduce standby power
◾ Open-drain port B inputs/outputs
◾ Lock-up free operation
◾ Supports arbitration and clock stretching across the repeater
◾ Accommodates Standard-mode and Fast-mode I2C-bus devices and multiple masters
◾ Powered-off high-impedance I2C-bus pins
◾ Operating supply voltage range of 0.8 V to 1.5 V on port A, 2.3 V to 5.5 V on port B
◾ All pins are 5 V tolerant with respect to ground pin
◾ 0 Hz to 400 kHz clock frequency
Remark: The maximum system operating frequency may be less than 400 kHz
because of the delays added by the repeater.
◾ ESD protection exceeds 2000 V HBM per JESD22-A114 and 1000 V CDM per
JESD22-C101
◾ Latch-up testing is done to JEDEC Standard JESD78 which exceeds 100 mA
◾ Packages offered: TSSOP8, XQFN8
