Figure 2. PCA9515A block diagram

The output pull-down of each internal buffer is set for approximately

0.5 V, while the input threshold of each internal buffer is set about

0.07 V lower, when the output is internally driven LOW. This

prevents a lock-up condition from occurring.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

The PCA9515A integrated circuit contains two identical buffer

circuits which enable I2C and similar bus systems to be extended

without degradation of system performance.

The PCA9515A contains two bi-directional, open drain buffers

specifically designed to support the standard LOW-level-contention

arbitration of the I2C-bus. Except during arbitration or clock

stretching, the PCA9515A acts like a pair of non-inverting, open

drain buffers, one for SDA and one for SCL.

Enable

The EN pin is active HIGH with an internal pull up and allows the

user to select when the repeater is active. This can be used to

isolate a badly behaved slave on power up until after the system

power up reset. It should never change state during an I2C

operation because disabling during a bus operation will hang the

bus and enabling part way through a bus cycle could confuse the

I2C parts being enabled.

The enable pin should only change state when the global bus and

the repeater port are in an idle state to prevent system failures.

I2C Systems

As with the standard I2C system, pull-up resistors are required to

provide the logic HIGH levels on the Buffered bus. (Standard

open-collector configuration of the I2C-bus). The size of these

pull-up resistors depends on the system, but each side of the

repeater must have a pull-up resistor. This part designed to work

with standard mode and fast mode I2C devices in addition to SMBus

devices. Standard mode I2C devices only specify 3 mA output drive,

this limits the termination current to 3 mA in a generic I2C system

where standard mode devices and multiple masters are possible.

Under certain conditions higher termination currents can be used.

Please see Application Note AN255 “I2C & SMBus Repeaters, Hubs

and Expanders” for additional information on sizing resistors and

precautions when using more than one PCA9515A/PCA9516A in a

system or using the PCA9515A/16A in conjunction with the P82B96.
