PCA9543A/43B: 2-channel I²C-bus switch with interrupt logic and reset

The PCA9543A/43B is a bidirectional translating switch, controlled by the I²C-bus. The SCL/SDA upstream pair fans out to two downstream pairs, or channels. Any individual SCx/SDx channels or combination of channels can be selected, determined by the contents of the programmable control register. Two interrupt inputs, INT0 and INT1, one for each of the downstream pairs, are provided. One interrupt output, INT, which acts as an AND of the two interrupt inputs, is provided.

An active LOW reset input allows the PCA9543X to recover from a situation where one of the downstream I²C-buses is stuck in a LOW state. Pulling the RESET pin LOW resets the I²C-bus state machine and causes all the channels to be deselected, as does the internal power-on reset function.

The pass gates of the switches are constructed such that the VDD pin can be used to limit the maximum high voltage which will be passed by the PCA9543X. This allows the use of different bus voltages on each SCx/SDx pair, so that 1.8 V, 2.5 V, or 3.3 V parts can communicate with 5 V parts without any additional protection. External pull-up resistors pull the bus up to the desired voltage level for each channel. All I/O pins are 5 V tolerant.

The PCA9543A and PCA9543B are identical except for the fixed portion of the slave address.
