Product data sheet
1 General description
The P3A9606JK is a 2-bit, dual supply translating transceiver with auto direction
sensing, that enables bidirectional voltage level translation for traditional I2C-bus/SMBus
applications, 12.5 MHz I3C-bus applications and also higher speed SPI applications (with
two devices). It features two 1-bit input-output ports (An and Bn), one output enable input
(OE) and two supply pins (VCCA and VCCB). VCCA can be supplied at any voltage between
0.72 V and 1.98 V and VCCB can be supplied at any voltage between 0.72 V and 1.98 V,
making the device suitable for translating between any of the low voltage nodes (0.8 V,
1.2 V and 1.8 V). VCCA must be ≤ VCCB to ensure proper operation.
P3A9606JK can be used for both open drain as well as push-pull application which
allows for level translation applications using I3C, I2C and SPI protocols.
Pins An are referenced to VCCA and pins Bn are referenced to VCCB. The active HIGH
OE pin is referenced to VCCA and controllable by a signal in either VCCA or VCCB domain.
A LOW level at pin OE causes the outputs to be in a high-impedance OFF-state. This
device is fully specified for partial power-down applications using IOFF. The IOFF circuitry
disables the output, preventing the damaging backflow current through the device when it
is powered down.
