DESCRIPTION/ORDERING INFORMATION
The PCA9546A is a quad bidirectional translating switch controlled via the I2C bus. The SCL/SDA upstream pair
fans out to four downstream pairs, or channels. Any individual SCn/SDn channel or combination of channels can
be selected, determined by the contents of the programmable control register.
An active-low reset (RESET) input allows the PCA9546A to recover from a situation in which one of the
downstream I2C buses is stuck in a low state. Pulling RESET low resets the I2C state machine and causes all the
channels to be deselected, as does the internal power-on reset function.
