Product data sheet
1. General description
The PCA9617A is a CMOS integrated circuit that provides level shifting between low voltage (0.8 V to 5.5 V) and higher voltage (2.2 V to 5.5 V) Fast-mode Plus (Fm+) I2C-bus or SMBus applications. While retaining all the operating modes and Features of the I2C-bus system during the level shifts, it also permits extension of the I2C-bus by providing bidirectional buffering for both the data (SDA) and the clock (SCL) lines, thus enabling two buses of 540 pF at 1 MHz or up to 4000 pF at lower speeds. Using the PCA9617A enables the system designer to isolate two halves of a bus for...
