LTC4300A-1/LTC4300A-2 Hot Swappable 2-Wire Bus Buffers FEATURESDESCRIPTION n Bidirectional Buffer for SDA and SCL Lines The LTC®4300A series hot swappable 2-wire bus buffers Increases Fanout allow I/O card insertion into a live backplane without corrup- n Prevents SDA and SCL Corruption During Live tion of the data and clock busses. When the connection is Board Insertion and Removal from Backplane made, the LTC4300A-1/LTC4300A-2 provide bidirectional n Isolates Input SDA and SCL Lines from Output buffering, keeping the backplane and card capacitances n Compatible with I2C, I2C Fast Mode and SMBus isolated. Rise-time accelerator circuitry* allows the use of Standards (Up to 400kHz Operation) weaker DC pull-up currents while still meeting rise-time n Low ICC Chip Disable: <1μA (LTC4300A-1) requirements. During insertion, the SDA and SCL lines are n READY Open Drain Output (LTC4300A-1) precharged to 1V to minimize bus disturbances. n 1V Precharge on all SDA and SCL Lines The LTC4300A-1 incorporates a CMOS threshold digital n Supports Clock Stretching, Arbitration and ENABLE input pin, which forces the part into a low current Synchronization mode when driven to ground and sets normal operation n 5V to 3.3V Level Translation (LTC4300A-2) when driven to VCC. It also includes an open drain READY n High Impedance SDA, SCL Pins for VCC = 0V output pin, which indicates that the backplane and card n Small MSOP 8-Pin Package sides are connected together. The LTC4300A-2 replaces the ENABLE pin with a dedicated supply voltage pin, VCC2, APPLICATIONS for the card side, providing level shifting between 3.3V and 5V systems. Both the backplane and card may be n Hot Board Insertion powered with supply voltages ranging from 2.7V to 5.5V, n Servers with no constraints on which supply voltage is higher. The n Capacitance Buffer/Bus Extender LTC4300A-2 also replaces the READY pin with a digital n Desktop Computer CMOS input pin, ACC, which enables and disables the L, LT, LTC, LTM, Linear Technology and the Linear logo are registered trademarks and Hot Swap and ThinSOT are trademarks of Linear Technology Corporation.
