The PCA9306DP1 is an IC (Integrated Circuit) component manufactured by NXP Semiconductors. It is a dual bidirectional voltage-level translator specifically designed for extending the capability of I2C (Inter-Integrated Circuit) or SMBus systems.
Key features of the PCA9306DP1 include:
1. Bi-Directional Voltage-Level Translation: The IC enables voltage-level translation from one I2C bus to another at different voltage levels. It is capable of translation between 1.0 V and 5.5 V without the need for a direction pin.
2. Low Voltage-Level and Supply Current: The device operates at very low supply voltage levels, ranging from 1.0 V to 3.6 V, making it suitable for low-power and battery-powered applications. It also consumes minimal supply current, which contributes to further power efficiency.
3. Bidirectional Communication: The PCA9306DP1 provides bidirectional communication between two I2C buses, allowing devices operating at different voltage levels to communicate seamlessly. It features a dual-bit I2C bus buffer with automatic direction sensing.
4. High-Speed Performance: The component supports high-speed communication, with an I2C bus frequency range of up to 400 kHz. This ensures efficient data transmission between devices, reducing communication delays and improving overall system performance
