Addressable
2-Wire Bus Buffers
DESCRIPTIO
The LTC
廬
4302-1/LTC4302-2 addressable I
2
C bus and
SMBus compatible bus buffers allow a peripheral board
to be inserted and removed from a live backplane without
corruption of the bus. The LTC4302-1/LTC4302-2 main-
tain electrical isolation between the backplane and periph-
eral board until their V
CC
supply is valid and a master
device on the backplane side addresses the LTC4302-1/
LTC4302-2 and commands them to connect. The
LTC4302-1/LTC4302-2鈥檚 ADDRESS pin provides 32 pos-
sible addresses set by an external resistive divider be-
tween V
CC
and GND. The LTC4302-1/LTC4302-2 work
with supply voltages ranging from 2.7V to 5.5V. The SDA
and SCL inputs and outputs do not load the bus lines when
V
CC
is low.
Rise time accelerator circuitry* allows for heavier capaci-
tive bus loading while still meeting system timing require-
ments. During insertion, the SDA and SCL lines are
precharged to 1V to minimize bus disturbances. Two
general purpose input/output pins (GPIOs) on the
LTC4302-1 can be configured as inputs, open-drain out-
puts or push-pull outputs. The LTC4302-2 option replaces
one GPIO pin with a second supply voltage pin V
CC2
,
providing level shifting between systems with different
supply voltages. The LTC4302-1/LTC4302-2 are available
in a 10-pin MSOP package.
