7.1 Overview

The TCA9846 is a 4-channel, bidirectional translating I2C switch. The master SCL/SDA signal pair is directed to four channels of slave devices, SC0/SD0-SC3/SD3. Any individual downstream channel can be selected as well as any combination of the four channels.

The device offers an active-low RESET input which resets the state machine and allows the TCA9846 to recover should one of the downstream I2C buses get stuck in a low state. The state machine of the device can also be reset by cycling the power supply, VCC, also known as a power-on reset (POR). Both the RESET function and a POR will cause all channels to be deselected.

The connections of the I2C data path are controlled by the same I 2C master device that is switched to communicate with multiple I 2C slaves. After the successful acknowledgment of the slave address (hardware selectable by A0 and A1 pins), a single 8-bit control register is written to or read from to determine the selected channels.

The TCA9846 can also be used for voltage translation, allowing the use of different bus voltages on each SCn/SDn pair such that 0.65-V, 0.8V, 1.2V, or 1.8V parts can communicate with 3.3V parts. This is achieved by using external pull-up resistors to pull the bus up to the desired voltage for the controller and each target channel.
