TCA9546APWR Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The TCA9546APWR from Texas Instruments is a quad bidirectional translating switch designed for I2C and SMBus applications. The device features four downstream switch channels that fan out from a single upstream SCL/SDA pair. This allows for flexible channel selection via the I2C bus, enabling the connection of multiple I2C devices or buses.

 

With an operating supply voltage range of 1.65V to 5.5V, the TCA9546APWR supports voltage-level translation between 1.8V, 2.5V, 3.3V, and 5V buses. It operates at clock frequencies up to 400kHz and includes an active-low reset input. The switch channels are deselected upon power-up, and the device supports hot insertion without glitches.

 

Packaged in a 16-TSSOP, the TCA9546APWR is suitable for surface mount applications. Its latch-up performance exceeds 100 mA, and ESD protection meets JESD 22 standards, including 4000V for the human-body model and 1500V for the charged-device model.
