LTC4308 Low Voltage, Level Shifting Hot Swappable 2-Wire Bus Buffer with Stuck Bus Recovery FEATURESDESCRIPTION n Optimized for Low Voltage Systems Down to 0.9V The LTC®4308 hot swappable, 2-wire bus buffer allows n Bidirectional Buffer with Stuck Bus Recovery I/O card insertion into a live backplane without corrup- n –200mV Offset In-Out/+300mV Offset Out-In tion of the data and clock busses. The LTC4308 provides n 30ms Stuck Bus Timeout bidirectional buffering, keeping the backplane and card n Compatible with Non-Compliant VOL I2C Devices capacitances isolated. Negative offset from output to n Prevents SDA and SCL Corruption During Live input allows communication between output bus devices Board Insertion and Removal from Backplane with high VOL and devices on the low voltage input side, n ±6kV Human Body Model (HBM) ESD Protection where bus supplies can be as low as 0.9V. If SDAOUT or n Isolates Input SDA and SCL Lines from Output SCLOUT are low for 30ms, the LTC4308 will automati- n Compatible with I2C™, I2C Fast Mode and SMBus cally break the Input-Output connection. At this time the n READY Open-Drain Output LTC4308 automatically generates up to 16 clock pulses n 1V Precharge on SDAOUT and SCLOUT Lines on SCLOUT in an attempt to free the bus.
