The PCA9509 enables I
low as 0.95 V in special cases) without degradation of system performance. The
PCA9509 contains 2 bidirectional open-drain buffers specifically designed to support
up-translation/down-translation between the low voltage and 3.3 V SMBus or 5 V I
The port B I/Os are over-voltage tolerant to 5.5 V even when the device is unpowered.
The PCA9509 includes a power-up circuit that keeps the output drivers turned off until
V
any sequence at power-up. After power-up and with the EN pin HIGH, a LOW level on
port A (below approximately 0.15 V) turns the corresponding port B driver (either SDA or
SCL) on and drives port B down to about 0 V. When port A rises above approximately
0.15 V, the port B pull-down driver is turned off and the external pull-up resistor pulls the
pin HIGH. When port B falls first and goes below 0.3V
and port A pulls down to 0.2 V (typical). The port B pull-down is not enabled unless the
port A voltage goes below V
pull-down driver is enabled until port A rises above approximately 0.15 V (V
port B, if not externally driven LOW, will continue to rise being pulled up by the external
pull-up resistor.
Remark: Ground offset between the PCA9509 ground and the ground of devices on
port A of the PCA9509 must be avoided.
The reason for this cautionary remark is that a CMOS/NMOS open-drain capable of
sinking 3 mA of current at 0.4 V will have an output resistance of 133
Such a driver will share enough current with the port A output pull-down of the PCA9509
to be seen as a LOW as long as the ground offset is zero. If the ground offset is greater
than 0 V, then the driver resistance must be less. Since V
cold temperatures and the low end of the current distribution, the maximum ground offset
should not exceed 50 mV.
Bus repeaters that use an output offset are not interoperable with the port A of the
PCA9509 as their output LOW levels will not be recognized by the PCA9509 as a LOW. If
the PCA9509 is placed in an application where the V
go below its V
port B will return HIGH, so it will not reproduce the port A input on port B. Such
applications should be avoided.
Port B is interoperable with all I
The EN pin is active HIGH 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 I
a bus operation will hang the bus and enabling part way through a bus cycle could
confuse the I
The enable pin should only change state when the bus and the repeater port are in an idle
state to prevent system failures.
