PCA9518PWT - Texas Instruments

Manufacturer Part Number

PCA9518PWT

Manufacturer

Texas Instruments

Introduction

The PCA9518PWT is a high-speed I2C-bus/SMBus repeater and buffer. It is designed to extend the number of loads that can be connected to the I2C-bus or SMBus by buffering the signals and isolating the bus capacitance. The device can be used to increase the maximum bus length, number of devices, or total bus capacitance.
