LTC4304IMS#PBF

The LTC4304IMS#PBF is a highly integrated hot-swappable I2C bus buffer designed to improve system reliability and simplify design. It allows I2C devices with different supply voltage levels to communicate with each other, while protecting them from voltage mismatch and bus faults. The LTC4304IMS#PBF features two I2C channels, each capable of buffering clock (SCL) and data (SDA) signals. These channels can operate at different supply voltages, ranging from 1.6V to 5.5V, allowing for seamless communication between devices with different voltage levels. Additionally, the LTC4304IMS#PBF provides bidirectional voltage-level translation between low-voltage and high-voltage I2C channels, ensuring compatibility between devices operating at different voltage levels. It also features a built-in fail-safe circuitry that automatically disconnects the faulty channel in case of bus contention or excessive capacitance, preventing potential damage to the devices and improving system reliability. With its compact and robust package, the LTC4304IMS#PBF is an ideal solution for a wide range of applications, including computer peripherals, embedded systems, industrial automation, and telecom equipment. It simplifies design complexity, reduces component count, and improves system reliability, making it a versatile and essential tool for engineers working on I2C-based systems.
