The LTC
®
4300A series hot swappable 2-wire bus buffers
allow I/O card insertion into a live backplane without
corruption of the data and clock busses. When the con-
nection is made, the LTC4300A-1/LTC4300A-2 provide
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 requirements. During insertion, the
SDA and SCL lines are precharged to 1V to minimize bus
disturbances.
The LTC4300A-1 incorporates a CMOS threshold digital
ENABLE input pin, which forces the part into a low current
mode when driven to ground and sets normal operation when
driven to V
CC
. It also includes an open drain READY output
pin, which indicates that the backplane and card sides are
connected together. The LTC4300A-2 replaces the ENABLE
pin with a dedicated supply voltage pin, V
CC2
, for the card
side, providing level shifting between 3.3V and 5V systems.
Both the backplane and card may be powered with supply
voltages ranging from 2.7V to 5.5V, with no contraints on
which supply voltage is higher. The LTC4300A-2 also re-
places the READY pin with a digital CMOS input pin, ACC,
which enables and disables the rise-time accelerator currents.
The LTC4300A is available in a small 8-pin MSOP package.

(Pin 1):
Chip Enable Pin/Card Supply Volt-
age. For the LTC4300A-1, this is a digital CMOS threshold
input pin. Grounding this pin puts the part in a low current
(<1µA) mode. It also disables the rise-time accelerators,
disables the bus precharge circuitry, drives READY low,
isolates SDAIN from SDAOUT and isolates SCLIN from
SCLOUT. Drive ENABLE all the way to V
CC
for normal
operation. Connect ENABLE to V
CC
if this feature is not
being used. For the LTC4300A-2, 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):
Ground. Connect this pin to a ground plane
for best results.
READY/ACC (Pin 5):
Connection Flag/Rise-Time Accel-
erator Control. For the LTC4300A-1, this is an open-drain
NMOS output which pulls low when either ENABLE is low
or the start-up sequence described in the Operation sec-
tion has not been completed. READY goes high when
ENABLE is high and start-up is complete. Connect a 10k
resistor from this pin to V
CC
to provide the pull up. For the
LTC4300A-2, this is a CMOS threshold digital input pin
that enables and disables the rise-time accelerators on all
four SDA and SCL pins. Drive ACC all the way to the V
CC2
supply voltage to enable all four accelerators; drive ACC to
ground to turn them off.
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.

least 0.01µF close to this pin for best results.
