Overview (continued)
Figure 11. Translation Configuration
When PCA9306 is in the switch configuration (V
REF1
= V
REF2
), the propagation delays are different compared to
the translator configuration. Taking a look at the propagation delays, if the pull up resistance and capacitance on
both sides of the bus are equal, then in switch mode the PCA9306 has the same propagation delay from side
one to two and side two to one. The propagation delays become lower when V
CC1
/V
CC2
is larger. For example,
the propagation delay at 1.8 V is longer than at 5 V in the switching configuration. When PCA9306 is in
translation mode, side one propagate lows to side two faster than side two can propagate lows to side 1. This
time difference becomes larger the larger the difference between V
CC2
and V
CC1
becomes.
8.1.6 Master on Side 1 or Side 2 of Device
I2C and SMBus are bidirectional protocol meaning devices on the bus can both transmit and receive data.
PCA9306 was designed to allow for signals to be able to be transmitted from either side, thus allowing for the
master to be able to placed on either side of the device. Figure 12 shows the master on side two as opposed to
the diagram on page 1 of this data sheet.
