LTC4300-1/LTC4300-2
Hot Swappable
2-Wire Bus Buffers
DescripTion
The
LTC
®
4300
series hot swappable 2-wire bus buffers
allow I/O card insertion into a live backplane without cor-
ruption of the data and clock busses. When the connection
is made, the LTC4300-1/LTC4300-2 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 LTC4300-1 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 LTC4300-2 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 constraints on which supply voltage is higher.
The LTC4300-2 also replaces the READY pin with a digital
CMOS input pin, ACC, which enables and disables the rise
time accelerator currents.
The LTC4300 is available in a small 8-lead MSOP package.

elecTrical characTerisTics
Note 1:
Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings
may cause permanent damage to the device. Exposure to any Absolute
Maximum Rating condition for extended periods may affect device
reliability and lifetime.
Note 2:
I
PULLUPAC
varies with temperature and V
CC
voltage, as shown in
the Typical Performance Characteristics section.
Note 3:
The connection circuitry always regulates its output to a higher
voltage than its input. The magnitude of this offset voltage as a function of
the pull-up resistor and V
CC
voltage is shown in the Typical Performance
Characteristics section.
Note 4:
Guaranteed by design, not subject to test.
Note 5:
C
B
= total capacitance of one bus line in pF.
Note 6:
These tests measure the difference in high-to-low propagation
delay t
PHL
between the clock and data channels. The delay on each
channel is measured from the 50% point of the falling driven input signal
to the 50% point of the output driven by the LTC4300-1/LTC4300-2.
The skew is defined as (t
PHL(SCL)
- t
PHL(SDA)
). Testing is performed in
both directions—from input bus to output bus and vice versa. Tests are
performed with approximately 500pF of distributed equivalent capacitance
on each SDA and SCL pin.

pin FuncTions
ENABLE/V
CC2
(Pin 1):
Chip Enable Pin/Card Supply Volt-
age. For the LTC4300-1, 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 LTC4300-2, 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. See Figures 3 and 4 for bus
pull-up resistance and capacitance requirements.
SCLIN (Pin 3):
Serial Clock Input. Connect this pin to the
SCL bus on the backplane. See Figures 3 and 4 for bus
pull-up resistance and capacitance requirements.
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 LTC4300-1, this is an open-drain
NMOS output which pulls LOW when either ENABLE is
LOW or the start-up sequence described in the Operation
section 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 LTC4300-2, 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. See Figures 3 and 4 for bus
pull-up resistance and capacitance requirements.
SDAOUT (Pin 7):
Serial Data Output. Connect this pin
to the SDA bus on the card. See Figures 3 and 4 for bus
pull-up resistance and capacitance requirements.
V
CC
(Pin 8):
Main Input Power Supply From Backplane.
This is the supply voltage for the devices on the backplane
I
2
C busses. Connect pull-up resistors from SDAIN and
SCLIN to this pin. Place a bypass capacitor of at least
0.01µF close to this pin for best results.
