LTC4306 4-Channel, 2-Wire Bus Multiplexer with Capacitance Buffering UFEATURESDESCRIPTIO ■ 1:4 2-Wire Multiplexer/Switch The LTC®4306 is a 4-channel, 2-wire bus multiplexer with ■ Connect SDA and SCL Lines with 2-Wire Bus bus buffers to provide capacitive isolation between the Commands upstream bus and downstream buses. Through software ■ Supply Independent Bidirectional Buffer for SDA control, the LTC4306 connects the upstream 2-wire bus to and SCL Lines Increases Fan-Out any desired combination of downstream buses. Each ■ Programmable Disconnect from Stuck Bus channel can be pulled up to a supply voltage ranging from ■ Compatible with I2C and SMBus Standards 2.2V to 5.5V, independent of the LTC4306 supply voltage. ■ Rise Time Accelerator Circuitry The downstream channels are also provided with ■ SMBus Compatible ALERT Response Protocol ALERT1-ALERT4 inputs for fault reporting. ■ Two General Purpose Inputs-Outputs Programmable timeout circuitry disconnects the down- ■ Prevents SDA and SCL Corruption During Live Board stream buses if the bus is stuck low. When activated, rise Insertion and Removal from Backplane time accelerators source currents into the 2-wire bus pins ■ ±10kV Human Body Model ESD Ruggedness to reduce rise time. Driving the ENABLE pin low restores ■ 24-Lead QFN (4mm × 5mm) and SSOP Packages all features to their default states. Three address pins U provide 27 distinct addresses.
