LTC4300-1/LTC4300-2 Hot Swappable 2-Wire Bus Buffers Description The LTC®4300 series hot swappable 2-wire bus buffers allow I/O card insertion into a live backplane without corruption of the data and clock busses. When the connection is made, the LTC4300-1/LTC4300-2 provide 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 ...
