The LTC4304IMS#TRPBF is an IC (Integrated Circuit) component designed and manufactured by Linear Technology, now part of Analog Devices. This device belongs to the LTC4304 family, which includes various models with different features and specifications. The LTC4304IMS#TRPBF is a specific model of this family, and here is an overview of its key features.
1. I2C-Bus Buffer: The LTC4304IMS#TRPBF is primarily used as an I2C-bus buffer. It provides level shifting and buffering functions for I2C-bus signals, allowing the connection of different I2C bus segments that operate at different voltage levels. It supports standard mode (up to 100kHz) and fast mode (up to 400kHz) I2C-bus operation.
2. Dual Bidirectional Channels: The LTC4304IMS#TRPBF contains two independent bidirectional I2C channels. Each channel has an input side (SDA_IN and SCL_IN) and an output side (SDA_OUT and SCL_OUT). This allows for the connection of multiple I2C devices on each channel.
3. Level Shifting: This component performs level shifting between the lower voltage I2C bus (such as 1.8V) and the higher voltage I2C bus (such as 3.3V or 5V)
