DESCRIPTION/ORDERING INFORMATION
This dual bidirectional I2C buffer is operational at 2.7 V to 5.5 V.
The TCA9517 is a BiCMOS integrated circuit intended for I2C bus and SMBus systems. It can provide
bidirectional voltage-level translation (up-translation/down-translation) between low voltages (down to 0.9 V) and
higher voltages (2.7 V to 5.5 V) in mixed-mode applications. This device enables I2C and similar bus systems to
be extended, without degradation of performance even during level shifting.
The TCA9517 buffers both the serial data (SDA) and the serial clock (SCL) signals on the I2C bus, thus allowing
two buses of 400-pF bus capacitance to be connected in an I2C application. This device can also be used to
isolate two halves of a bus for voltage and capacitance.
The TCA9517 has two types of drivers—A-side drivers and B-side drivers. All inputs and I/Os are overvoltage
tolerant to 5.5 V, even when the device is unpowered (VCCB and/or VCCA = 0 V).
