PCA9846 - 4-channel ultra-low voltage Fm+ I2C-bus switch

General Description

The PCA9846 is an ultra-low voltage, quad bidirectional translating switch controlled via the I2C-bus.

The SCL/SDA upstream pair fans out to four downstream pairs, or channels.

Any or all SCx/SDx channels can be selected, determined by the programmable control register.

Key Features

  • Ultra-low voltage operation, down to 0.8 V to interface with next-generation CPUs.
  • 1-of-4 bidirectional translating switch.
  • Fm+ I2C-bus interface logic; compatible with SMBus standards.
  • Active LOW reset input.
  • 2 address pins allowing up to 16 devices on the I2C-bus.
  • Channel selection via I2C-bus.
  • Power-up with all switch channels deselected.
  • Low Ron switches.
  • Allows voltage level translation between 0.8 V, 1.8 V, 2.5 V and 3.3 V buses.
  • Reset via.

PCA9846 4-channel ultra-low voltage, Fm+ I2C-bus switch with reset Rev. 1.1 — 4 April 2017 Product data sheet 1. General description The PCA9846 is an ultra-low voltage, quad bidirectional translating switch controlled via the I2C-bus. The SCL/SDA upstream pair fans out to four downstream pairs, or channels. Any or all SCx/SDx channels can be selected, determined by the programmable control register. This feature allows multiple devices with the same I2C-bus address to reside on the same bus. The switch device can also separate a heavily loaded I2C-bus into separate bus segments, eliminating the need for a bus buffer. An active LOW reset input allows the PCA9846 to recover from a situation where one of the downstream I2C-buses is stuck in a LOW state.
