The PCA9306YZTR is an IC (integrated circuit) component designed specifically for level shifting and voltage translation between two different voltage domains. This device allows bidirectional voltage translation with no direction control required, making it suitable for various applications in different industries.
Key features of the PCA9306YZTR include:
1. Dual-supply voltage translation: The PCA9306YZTR can handle two different supply voltages, allowing seamless communication between devices operating at different voltage levels.
2. Bidirectional voltage translation: It enables voltage translation in both directions, from the higher voltage level to the lower voltage level and vice versa, ensuring compatibility between devices with varying voltage requirements.
3. Automatic direction control: The IC automatically determines the direction of data flow and adjusts the transceiver accordingly, eliminating the need for an additional control pin for direction control.
4. I2C and SMBus compatible: The PCA9306YZTR is compatible with both I2C (Inter-Integrated Circuit) and SMBus (System Management Bus) protocols, making it ideal for communicating between devices utilizing these popular standard interfaces.
5. Low voltage operation: It operates with a minimum voltage supply as low as 1.2V, allowing compatibility with low-power devices and systems.
6. Low standby current consumption: The device features low standby current, which minimizes power consumption when not actively translating voltages, ensuring energy efficiency in battery-powered applications
