PCA9543A: Host confirmation

Genius 9880 points

Hi

Thank you in advance.

  • Hi Maynard,

    I can't recommend this configuration. This switch is controlled via I2C commands to the SDA/SCL port. It will not recognize commands send from the SD0/SC0 or SD1/SC1 ports unless these channels are enabled. Because all channels are disabled by default, there would not be a way for either host device to communicate with the switch after a power-on reset. A layout should be used that allows a host device to communicate with the SDA/SCL port of the switch in order to control and configure the device after startup. 

    Let us know if you have any more questions. If not, please let us know by clicking the green resolved button.
