Dual bidirectional I2C-bus and SMBus voltage-level translator
Rev. 9.5 — 31 August 2023
Product data sheet
1 General description
The PCA9306 is a dual bidirectional I2C-bus and SMBus voltage-level translator with an enable (EN) input, and is operational from 1.0 V to 3.6 V (Vref(1)) and 1.8 V to 5.5 V (Vbias(ref)(2)).
The PCA9306 allows bidirectional voltage translations between 1.0 V and 5 V without the use of a direction pin. The low ON-state resistance (Ron) of the switch allows connections to be made with minimal propagation delay. When EN is HIGH, the translator switch is on, and the SCL1 and SDA1 I/O are connected to the SCL2 and SDA2 I/O, respectively, allowing bidirectional data flow between ports.
