TCA9548A-Q1: Temperature of device can stand

Nan Zhang

Part Number: TCA9548A-Q1
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TCA9548A

Hi team,

I find that there is update that TCA9548A-Q1 added grade 1 to the automotive feature, and deleted Temperature grade 3: -40°C to +85°C, Ta. The grade 1 could stand with -40-125s℃,but our device 's max junction temperature is still 90℃ written in datasheet. The real temperature is almost 105℃ in customer design.

So here are the questions:

1. why device max junction temperature is 90℃(recommended 85℃) with the AEC-Q100 grade 1；

2. do we have roadmap on I2C switch which can stand with -40-125℃ ? In ti.com, there is only one I2C switch device which can reach AEC-Q100.

This seems to be a mistake that was made when the datasheet was released. I'm working with my team to see if we can actually qualify it for 125C like the commercial TCA9548A.

No, we currently do not. We are currently trying to see if we can qualify TCA9548Q1 for this.

looking for your reply.

As for this, I can not find TCA9548Q1 in TI.com, is that not rtm? The customer also want to know whether we have 2/4/6 channel I2C switch with AEC-Q100 125℃？

It's online and has been for years now (there was never a non A version for this device). The link to the datasheet is here: https://www.ti.com/lit/ds/symlink/tca9548a-q1.pdf?ts=1665614222093&ref_url=https%253A%252F%252Fwww.google.com%252F

The TCA9548A is our only automotice qualified I2C switch

I don't know how long this will take or when it will happen. The team is still looking into it.

Hi Bobby,

The thin is so urgent. Customer is evaluating this device, this could be a good window to make it happen. Could you please speed it up?

NAN,

I don't have the ability to speed this up. A normal automotive qualification process can take between 3 to 6 months to do since it involves baking 3 different lots of silicon for months at high Vcc levels before qualification tests can begin. This is required to 'simulate aged silicon'.
