Product Overview
PCA9306DCUR from TI is a dual bidirectional I2C/SMBus voltage-level translator. 1.0-5V on each side. Open-drain pass-gate. VSSOP-8.
Working Principle
Pass-gate MOSFETs connect SDA/SCL between two voltage domains. Each side has independent pull-up to its VDD. Translation is bidirectional and automatic. Supports 1.0-5.0V on either side.
