DESCRIPTION/ORDERING INFORMATION
The TCA4311A is a hot swappable I
2
C bus buffer that supports I/O card insertion into a live backplane without
corruption of the data and clock busses. Control circuitry prevents the backplane from being connected to the
card until a stop command or bus idle occurs on the backplane without bus contention on the card. When the
connection is made, this device provides bidirectional buffering, keeping the backplane and card capacitances
isolated. During insertion, the SDA and SCL lines are precharged to 1 V to minimize the current required to
charge the parasitic capacitance of the chip.
When the I
2
C bus is idle, the TCA4311A can be put into shutdown mode by setting the EN pin low. When EN is
high, the TCA4311A resumes normal operation. It also includes an open drain READY output pin, which
indicates that the backplane and card sides are connected together. When READY is high, the SDAIN and
SCLIN are connected to SDAOUT and SCLOUT. When the two sides are disconnected, READY is low.
Both the backplane and card may be powered with supply voltages ranging from 2.7 V to 5.5 V, with no
restrictions on which supply voltage is higher.
The TCA4311A has standard open-drain I/Os. The size of the pullup resistors to the I/Os depends on the
system, but each side of this buffer must have a pullup resistor. The device is designed to work with Standard
Mode and Fast Mode I
2
C devices in addition to SMBus devices. Standard Mode I
2
C devices only specify 3 mA in
a generic I
2
C system where Standard Mode devices and multiple masters are possible. Under certain conditions,
high termination currents can be used.
