LTC4301L
Hot Swappable 2-Wire
Bus Buffer with Low Voltage
Level Translation
DESCRIPTIO
The LTC
®
4301L hot swappable, 2-wire bus buffer allows
I/O card insertion into a live backplane without corruption
of the data and clock busses. In addition, the LTC4301L
SDAIN and SCLIN pins are compatible with systems with
pull-up voltages as low as 1V. Control circuitry prevents
the backplane from being connected to the card until a
stop bit or a bus idle is present. When the connection is
made, the LTC4301L provides bidirectional buffering,
keeping the backplane and card capacitances isolated.
When driven low, the CS input pin allows the part to
connect after a stop bit or bus idle occurs. Driving CS high
breaks the connection between SCLIN and SCLOUT and
between SDAIN and SDAOUT. A logic high on READY
indicates that the backplane and card sides are connected
together.
The LTC4301L is offered in 8-pin DFN (3mm
×
3mm) and
MSOP packages.

CS (Pin 1):
The connection sense pin is a 1.4V threshold
digital input pin. For normal operation CS is grounded.
Driving CS above the 1.4V threshold isolates SDAIN from
SDAOUT and SCLIN from SCLOUT and asserts READY
low.
SCLOUT (Pin 2):
Serial Clock Output. Connect this pin to
the SCL bus on the card.
SCLIN (Pin 3):
Serial Clock Input. Connect this pin to SCL
on the bus backplane.
GND (Pin 4, 9):
Ground. Connect this pin to a ground plane
for best results. Exposed pad (DFN package) is ground.
READY (Pin 5):
The READY pin is an open drain N-channel
MOSFET output which pulls down when CS is high or
when the start-up sequence described in the Operation
section has not been completed. READY goes high when
CS is low and a start-up is complete.
SDAIN (Pin 6):
Serial Data Input. Connect this pin to the
SDA bus on the backplane.
SDAOUT (Pin 7):
Serial Data Output. Connect this pin to
the SDA bus on the card.
V
CC
(Pin 8):
Main Input Supply. Place a bypass capacitor
of at least 0.01µF close to V
CC
for best results.
