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 requirements. 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 isolates 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.

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 LTC4300A-3.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.

(DFN/MSOP)
V
CC2
(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
CC2
.
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 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.
Exposed Pad (Pin 9, DFN Package Only):
Exposed pad
may by be left open or connected to device ground.
