3 Description

The TCA39416 is a 2-bit bidirectional MIPI I3C v1.1.1,

I2C, SMBus and SPI voltage-level translator with an

output enable (OE) input and rising and falling edge

accelerators. It is operational from 0.72 V to 1.98 V

on both the A-side and B-side with VCCA must be less

than VCCB for proper operation. This limitation allows

the device to interface between lower and higher logic

signal levels at any of the typical 1-V, 1.2-V and 1.8-V

supply rails.

The OE input pin is referenced to VCCA, can be tied

directly to VCCA, but it is also 1.98-V tolerant. The OE

pin can also be controlled and set to a logic low to

place all the Ax (A1, A2) and Bx (B1, B2) pins in a

high-impedance state, which significantly reduces the

quiescent current consumption.

The TCA39416 is compatible with 12.5 MHz

I3C speeds and also supports higher speed SPI

applications with two devices. It also enables

bidirectional voltage level translation for traditional

I2C-bus/SMBus applications under normal I2C and

SMBus configurations.

The TCA39416 features internal 10-kΩ pull-up

resistors on Ax and Bx that act as high-keeper and

are enabled based on respective VCC voltage when

bus is high.
