NXP Semiconductors PCA9546
The PCA9546 is a quad bi-directional translating switch controlled by the I2C-bus. The SCL/SDA upstream pair fans out to four downstream pairs, or channels. An active-LOW reset input allows the PCA9546 to recover from a situation where one of the downstream I2C-buses is stuck in a LOW state.| Part No. | PCA9546 |

DESCRIPTION
Any individual SCx/SDx channel or combination of channels can be selected, determined by the contents of the programmable Control Register. Pulling the RESET pin LOW resets the I2C state machine and causes all the channels to be deselected as does the internal power on reset function. The pass gates of the switches are constructed such that the VDD pin can be used to limit the maximum high voltage which will be passed by the PCA9546. This allows the use of different bus voltages on each pair, so that 1.8 V, 2.5 V, or 3.3 V parts can communicate with 5 V parts without any additional protection. External pull-up resistors pull the bus up to the desired voltage level for each channel. All I/O pins are 5 V tolerant.FEATURES
