DESCRIPTION
The LTC
®
4311 is a dual I
2
C active pull-up designed to
enhance data transmission speed and reliability for bus
loading conditions well beyond the 400pF I
2
C specification
limit. The LTC4311 operates at supply voltages from 1.6V
to 5.5V and is also compatible with SMBus.
The LTC4311 allows multiple device connections or a lon-
ger, more capacitive interconnect, without compromising
slew rates or bus performance, by using two slew limited
pull-up currents.
During positive bus transitions, the LTC4311 provides slew
limited pull-up currents to quickly slew the I
2
C or SMBus
lines to the bus pull-up voltage. During negative transitions
or steady DC levels, the currents are disabled to improve
negative slew rate, and improve low state noise margins.
An auto detect standby mode reduces supply current if
both SCL and SDA are high. When disabled, the LTC4311
goes into low (<5μA) current shutdown.
The LTC4311 is available in the 2mm

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:
All currents into pins are positive. All voltages are referenced to
GND unless otherwise specified.
Note 3:
Thermal characteristics are determined with exposed pad soldered
to GND plane. If the exposed pad is left open, thermal characteristics can
be drastically different.
Note 4:
The rise time of an I
2
C bus line is calculated from V
IL(MAX)
to
V
IH(MIN)
or 0.9V to 2.1V (with V
CC
= 3V). This parameter is guaranteed by
design and not tested. With a minimum boosted pull-up current of 2.5mA:
Rise Time = (2.1V – 0.9V) • 400pF/2.5mA = 0.19μs.
Note 5:
Determined by design, not tested in production.

PIN FUNCTIONS
BUS1:
Active Pull-up for Bus. Connect to either clock line
or data line for 2-wire bus.
BUS2:
Active Pull-up for Bus. Connect to either clock line
or data line for 2-wire bus.
ENABLE:
Device Enable Input. This is a 1V nominal digital
threshold input pin. For normal operation drive ENABLE
to a voltage greater than 1.5V. Driving ENABLE below the
0.4V threshold puts the device in a low (<5μA) current
shutdown mode and puts the BUS pins in a high imped-
ance state. If unused, connect to V
CC
.
EXPOSED PAD (DFN Package Only):
Exposed Pad may
be left open or connected to device ground.
GND:
Device Ground. Connect this pin to a ground plane
for best results.
V
CC
:
Supply Voltage Input. Connect this pin to bus supply
and place a bypass capacitor of at least 0.01μF close to
V
CC
for best results.
