PCA9519
4-channel level translating I2C-bus/SMBus repeater
The enable pin should only change state when the bus and the repeater port are in an idle
state to prevent system failures.
6.2 I2C-bus systems
As with the standard I2C-bus system, pull-up resistors are required to provide the logic
HIGH levels on the buffered bus (standard open-collector configuration of the I2C-bus).
The size of these pull-up resistors depends on the system. Each of the port A I/Os has an
internal pull-up current source and does not require the external pull-up resistor. The
port B is designed to work with Standard mode and Fast mode I2C-bus devices in addition
to SMBus devices. Standard mode I2C-bus devices only specify 3 mA output drive; this
limits the termination current to 3 mA in a generic I2C-bus system where Standard mode
devices and multiple masters are possible. Under certain conditions higher termination
currents can be used.
7. Application design-in information
A typical application is shown in Figure 4. In this example, the CPU is running on a 1.1 V
I2C-bus while the master is connected to a 3.3 V bus. Both buses run at 400 kHz. Master
devices can be placed on either bus.

Fig 4. Typical application
When port B of the PCA9519 is pulled LOW by a driver on the I2C-bus, a CMOS
hysteresis detects the falling edge when it goes below 0.3VCC(B) and causes the internal
driver on port A to turn on, causing port A to pull down to about 0.2 V. When port A of the
PCA9519 falls, first a comparator detects the falling edge and causes the internal driver
on port B to turn on and pull the port B pin down to ground. In order to illustrate what
would be seen in a typical application, refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6. If the bus master in
Figure 4 were to write to the slave through the PCA9519, waveforms shown in Figure 5
would be observed on the B bus. This looks like a normal I2C-bus transmission.
On the port A bus of the PCA9519, the clock and data lines would have a positive offset
from ground equal to the VOL of the PCA9519. After the 8th clock pulse, the data line will
be pulled to the VOL of the master device, which is very close to ground in this example. At
the end of the acknowledge, the level rises only to the LOW level set by the driver in the
PCA9519 for a short delay while the port B bus rises above 0.5VCC(B), then it continues
