I/O card insertion into a live backplane without corruption
of the data and clock busses. When the connection is
made, the LTC4300A-3 provides bidirectional buffering,
keeping the backplane and card capacitances isolated.
Rise-time accelerator circuitry allows the use of weaker
DC pull-up currents while still meeting rise-time require-
ments. During insertion, the SDA and SCL lines are
precharged to 1V to minimize bus disturbances.
The LTC4300A-3 provides level translation between 3.3V
and 5V supplies. The backplane and card can both be
powered with supplies ranging from 2.7V to 5.5V. The
LTC4300A-3 also incorporates a CMOS threshold ENABLE
pin which forces the part into a low current mode and iso-
lates the card from the backplane. When driven to V
CC
, the
ENABLE pin sets normal operation.
The LTC4300A-3 is available in the MSOP and 3mm
×
3mm
DFN packages.

(Pin 1):
Card Supply Voltage. This is the supply
voltage for the devices on the card I
2
C busses. Connect
pull-up resistors from SDAOUT and SCLOUT to this pin.
Place a bypass capacitor of at least 0.01µF close to this pin
for best results.
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 the
SCL bus on the backplane.
GND (Pin 4):
Device Ground. Connect this pin to a ground
plane for best results.
ENABLE (Pin 5):
Digital CMOS Threshold Input. Ground-
ing this pin puts the part in a low current mode. It also
disables the rise-time accelerators, disables the bus
discharge circuitry, isolates SDAIN from SDOUT and
isolates SCLIN from SCLOUT. For active operation, drive
this pin to V
CC
. If this feature is unused, tie to V
CC
. Since
ENABLE is V
CC
referenced, do not connect to V
CC2
or pull
up to V

Serial Data Input. Connect this pin to the
SDA bus on the backplane.
