The PCA9544APW,118 is a multiplexer/demultiplexer IC component manufactured by NXP Semiconductors. It is designed to enable a single bus to be shared by multiple devices, allowing them to communicate with a microcontroller or a host system.
Key Features:
1. Multiplexing Capability: The PCA9544APW,118 offers 4-bidirectional channels that can be independently switched, allowing multiple devices to share a common bus.
2. I2C-Compatible: It operates using the I2C (Inter-Integrated Circuit) communication protocol. This enables the IC to be easily integrated into existing systems that use I2C.
3. Wide Voltage Range: The IC supports a wide supply voltage range from 2.3V to 5.5V, making it compatible with a variety of systems.
4. Low Standby Current: In standby mode, when no devices are actively communicating, it consumes very low power, making it suitable for power-sensitive applications.
5. Address Selection: The PCA9544APW,118 has a built-in address selection feature, allowing for up to 16 devices to be connected and selected individually
