DESCRIPTION/ORDERING INFORMATION
The PCA9518 is an expandable five-channel bidirectional buffer for I2C and SMBus applications. The I2C
protocol requires a maximum bus capacitance of 400 pF, which is derived from the number of devices on the I2C
bus and the bus length. The PCA9518 overcomes this restriction by separating and buffering the I2C data (SDA)
and clock (SCL) lines into multiple groups of 400-pF segments. Any segment-to-segment transition sees only
one repeater delay. Each PCA9518 can communicate with other PCA9518 hubs through a 4-wire inter-hub
expansion bus. Using multiple PCA9518 parts, any width hub (in multiples of five) can be implemented using the
expansion pins, with only one repeater delay and no functional degradation of the system performance.
