The PCA9512A is a hot swappable I2C-bus and SMBus buffer that allows I/O card insertion into a live backplane without corruption of the data and clock buses and includes two dedicated supply voltage pins to provide level shifting between 3.3 V and 5 V systems while maintaining the best noise margin for each voltage level. Either pin may be powered with supply voltages ranging from 2.7 V to 5.5 V with no constraints on which supply voltage is higher. Control circuitry prevents the backplane from being connected to the card until a stop bit or bus idle occurs on the backplane without bus contention on the card. When the connection is made, the PCA9512A provides bidirectional buffering, keeping the backplane and card capacitances isolated.
The PCA9512A rise time accelerator circuitry allows the use of weaker DC pull-up currents while still meeting rise time requirements. The PCA9512A incorporates a digital input pin that enables and disables the rise time accelerators on all four SDAn and SCLn pins.
During insertion, the PCA9512A SDAn and SCLn pins are precharged to 1 V to minimize the current required to charge the parasitic capacitance of the chip.
The dynamic offset design of the PCA9510A/11A/12A/13A/14A I/O drivers allow them to be connected to another PCA9510A/11A/12A/13A/14A device in series or in parallel and to the A side of the PCA9517. The PCA9510A/11A/12A/13A/14A cannot connect to the static offset I/Os used on the PCA9515/15A/16/16A/18, PCA9517 B side, or P82B96 Sx/y side.
