7. Functional description
Refer to Figure 1 “Block diagram of PCA9600”.
The PCA9600 has two identical buffers allowing buffering of SDA and SCL I
2
C-bus
signals. Each buffer is made up of two logic signal paths, a forward path from the I
2
C-bus
interface, pins SX and SY which drive the buffered bus, and a reverse signal path from the
buffered bus input, pins RX and RY to drive the I
2
C-bus interface. These paths:
• sense the voltage state of I
2
C-bus pins SX (and SY) and transmit this state to pin TX
(and TY respectively), and
• sense the state of pins RX and RY and pull the I
2
C-bus pin LOW whenever pin RX or
pin RY is LOW.
The rest of this discussion will address only the ‘X’ side of the buffer; the ‘Y’ side is
identical.
The I
2
C-bus pin SX is specified to allow interfacing with Fast-mode, Fm+ and TTL-based
systems.
