PCA9527

PCA9527 3-channel bidirectional bus extender for HDMI, I2C-bus and SMBus Rev. 01 — 29 June 2009 Product data sheet 1. General description The PCA9527 is a 3-channel bidirectional open-drain bus buffer for Display Data Control (DDC) clock, data and Consumer Electronic Control (CEC) for HDMI application. The device has two power supply pins to allow voltage level shift from 2.7 V to 5 V, and a rise time accelerator on port A of each DDC clock and data for driving longer cable (up to 18 meters or 1400 pF reliably without violating the bus rise time). The 5 V tolerant CEC channel is internally connected to VCC(B) and has no rise time accelerator. The CEC channel can be used as an interrupt or reset. While retaining all the operating modes and features of the I2C-bus system during the level shift, it also permits extension of the I2C-bus by providing bidirectional buffering for data (SDA), clock (SCL), and CEC. Using the PCA9527 enables the system designer to isolate bus capacitance to meet HDMI DDC version 1.3 distance specification. The SDAx and SCLx pins are overvoltage tolerant and are high-impedance when the PCA9527 is unpowered. The port B drivers (SDAB, SCLB, CECB) with static level offset behave much like the drivers on the PCA9515 device, while the SDAA and SCLA drivers integrate the rise time accelerator, sink more current and eliminate the static offset voltage. The CECA driver has the same current and static offset voltage features as the SDAA and SCLA, but it does ...
