PCA9516PW,112

PCA9516PW,112 is an IC (integrated circuit) component that acts as a level-shifting translator and repeater for I2C and SMBus systems. It offers a variety of features and benefits to enable seamless communication between devices operating at different voltage levels. Here is an overview of its key features: 1. Level-shifting: The PCA9516PW,112 is designed to translate logic levels between devices that use different supply voltage levels. It supports voltage level translation from as low as 0.9V up to 5.5V, allowing devices with different voltage requirements to communicate effectively. 2. Bidirectional I2C/SMBus translation: This component is capable of translating both SDA (Serial Data Line) and SCL (Serial Clock Line) bidirectionally. It ensures the safe and reliable transfer of data in both directions, eliminating any compatibility issues between devices operating at varying voltages. 3. Buffering and voltage isolation: PCA9516PW,112 offers buffering and voltage isolation between the low-voltage side (1.8V, 2.5V, or 3.3V) and high-voltage side (3.3V or 5V). This feature prevents bus lock-up and damage to devices caused by the excessive voltage levels during communication. 4. Automatic direction sensing: It incorporates an automatic bus direction sensing feature that detects the direction of data flow and applies the necessary level-shift translation accordingly
