PCA9546APWR Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The Texas Instruments PCA9546APWR is a versatile 4-channel bidirectional translating switch that facilitates communication between I2C and SMBus buses. It supports a wide operating voltage range from 2.3V to 5.5V, making it suitable for various system designs.

 

This switch features an active-low reset input and three address pins, allowing for up to eight PCA9546A devices to be connected on the same I2C bus. Channel selection is managed via the I2C bus, enabling flexible configuration. The device supports voltage-level translation between 1.8V, 2.5V, 3.3V, and 5V buses due to its low R ON switches. It also offers features like no glitch on power-up, hot insertion support, and low standby current.

 

The PCA9546APWR is available in a 16-TSSOP package, designed for surface mount applications. Its inputs are 5.5V tolerant, and it operates at clock frequencies up to 400kHz. The component is rated for an operating temperature range of -40°C to 85°C.
