Bus Buffer with Enable
The LT C
®
4300A-3 hot swappable 2-wire bus buffer allows
I/O card insertion into a live backplane without corruption
of the data and clock busses. When the connection is made,
the LTC4300A-3 provides bidirectional buffering, keeping
the backplane and card capacitances isolated. Rise time
accelerator circuitry allows the use of weaker DC pull-up
currents while still meeting rise time requirements. During
insertion, the SDA and SCL lines are precharged to 1V to
minimize bus disturbances.
The LTC4300A-3 provides level translation between
3.3V and 5V supplies. The backplane and card can both
be powered with supplies ranging from 2.7V to 5.5V.
The LTC4300A-3 also incorporates a CMOS threshold
ENABLE pin which forces the part into a low current mode
and isolates the card from the backplane. When driven to
V
CC
, the ENABLE pin sets normal operation.
The LTC4300A-3 is available in the MSOP and 3mm × 3mm
DFN packages.
