3 Description

5500 V Human-Body Model (A114-A) 200 V Machine Model (A115-A)
1000 V Charged-Device Model (C101)

The TCA9517 is a bidirectional buffer with level shifting capabilities for I2C and SMBus systems. It provides bidirectional voltage-level translation (up- translation/down-translation) between low voltages (down to 0.9 V) and higher voltages (2.7 V to 5.5 V) in mixed-mode applications. This device enables I2C and SMBus systems to be extended without degradation of performance, even during level shifting.

The TCA9517 buffers both the serial data (SDA) and the serial clock (SCL) signals on the I2C bus, thus allowing two buses of up to 400-pF bus capacitance to be connected in an I2C application.

The TCA9517 has two types of drivers: A-side drivers and B-side drivers. All inputs and I/Os are over- voltage tolerant to 5.5 V, even when the device is unpowered (VCCB and/or VCCA = 0 V).
