PCA9306: PCA9306

Part Number: PCA9306

In the design the en pin was been connected to a GPIO of Logic chip and vref2 pin been connected to vcc3v3.Now it did not working as a levelshift.What  could i do to fixing it as a levelshift . Thanks !

  • Hello,

    This device is not set up correctly for level translation. You have to short the EN pin and VREF2 if you want to use this device for level translation:

    The 200K resistor in series is also required in order to limit the current from VCC2 to VCC1. What you'll notice in this diagram is that you can use a 3.3V enable signal to control the EN and VREF2 pin. Then you can pull your SDA2/SCL2 pins up to the 3.3V rail. VREF2 and the SDA2/SCL2 pins do  not have to be connected to the same power rail. They can be separate from each other.

    Best,

    Chris
