General description

The PCA9548A is an octal bi-directional translating switch controlled via the I2C-bus. The SCL/SDA upstream pair fans out to eight downstream pairs, or channels. Any individual SCx/SDx channel or combination of channels can be selected, determined by the contents of the programmable control register.

Features

■ 1-of-8 bi-directional translating switches

■ I2C-bus interface logic; compatible with SMBus standards

■ Active LOW reset input

■ 3 address pins allowing up to 8 devices on the I2C-bus

■ Channel selection via I2C-bus, in any combination

■ Power-up with all switch channels deselected

■ Low Ron switches

■ Allows voltage level translation between 1.8 V, 2.5 V, 3.3 V and 5 V buses

■ No glitch on power-up

■ Supports hot insertion

■ Low stand-by current

■ Operating power supply voltage range of 2.3 V to 5.5 V
