Key Featrues
Bus Lock-Up Detection and Isolation: Detects and isolates bus lock-up conditions, ensuring reliable communication and preventing system crashes. This feature is particularly useful in critical applications like networking equipment and servers, where uninterrupted operation is essential.
Host Notification on Lock-Up Detection: Notifies the host system when a bus lock-up is detected, enabling quick diagnostics and recovery. This enhances system reliability and reduces downtime in applications such as RAID and control automation devices.
Low On-Resistance (RON) Switches: With a maximum on-resistance of 24 Ohms, these switches minimize signal loss and power dissipation, improving signal integrity and energy efficiency in high-speed I²C communication systems.
Logic-Level Translation: Supports seamless communication between devices operating at different voltage levels (2.3V to 5.5V), making it versatile for mixed-voltage systems and reducing the need for additional level-shifting components.
Hot Insertion Support: Allows devices to be added or removed from the I²C bus without disrupting communication, making it ideal for applications requiring frequent hardware changes, such as modular control systems or SFP control interfaces.
