Linear Technology LTC4300A-3
the LTC4300A-3 provides bidirectional buffering, keeping the backplane and card capacitances isolated. The LTC4300A-3 provides level translation between 3.3V and 5V supplies. The backplane and card can both be powered with supplies ranging from 2.7V to 5.5V.FEATURES

The LTC®4300A-3 hot swappable 2-wire bus buffer allows I/O card insertion into a live backplane without corruption of the data and clock busses. When the connection is made, Rise time accelerator circuitry allows the use of weaker DC pull-up currents while still meeting rise time requirements.
