PCA9617ADPJ

The CA9617ADPJ is a high-performance I²C-bus buffer designed to extend the I²C or SMBus by isolating capacitance and enabling long-distance communication. It provides bidirectional buffering for both the SDA and SCL lines, ensuring signal integrity and reliable communication across multiple I²C devices.

Key Features:

• I²C-Bus Buffer: Provides bidirectional buffering for the SDA and SCL lines, allowing for reliable I²C communication in systems with large capacitance or long distances.
• Capacitance Isolation: Isolates the bus capacitance between different segments, ensuring that each segment can meet I²C timing requirements even with high capacitance loads.
• Support for Standard, Fast, and Fast-Mode Plus: Compatible with I²C bus speeds up to 1 MHz (Fast-mode Plus), enabling use in a wide range of systems with varying speed requirements.
• Hot-Swap Capabilities: Supports hot-swapping, allowing devices to be connected or disconnected from the I²C bus without disrupting communication.

Power and Voltage:

• Wide Operating Voltage: Operates within a supply voltage range of 2.3V to 5.5V, suitable for both low and high voltage systems.
• Low Power Consumption: Designed for efficient power usage, making it ideal for low-power and battery-operated applications.

Package:

• Package Type: Available in a compact 8-pin DIP (Dual In-line Package), which is easy to handle and integrate into various designs.

Applications:

• I²C Bus Extension: Ideal for extending the range of I²C communication in large systems with multiple devices or long distances.
• Consumer Electronics: Suitable for use in consumer electronics that require reliable I²C communication over extended distances, such as smart home devices and wearables.
• Industrial Systems: Used in industrial applications where I²C-based communication needs to span across different boards or locations, requiring robust buffering and isolation.

The CA9617ADPJ enhances the flexibility and reliability of I²C communication by providing isolation and buffering, making it essential for designs involving long-distance I²C bus systems or high-capacitance environments.
