TCA9539: tca9539

Part Number: TCA9539

Tool/software:

My SDA and SCL line have a 3.3 volts level and my TCA9539 is powered by 1.8 volts. It works but I dont know if there is a risk od damage. The datasheet is not clear if it is aceptable or not. Can you help me? Thanks

    Hey Frederic,

    This implementation is fine. The voltage applied to the SDA/SCL pins can be higher than VCC as long as it is below the recommended operating conditions of 5V.

    Regards,

    Thanks Jack. Is it possible to have a document to confirm. I really need it. Datasheet does not specify this point. Thanks

    Frederic, 

    The recommended operating conditions in the datasheet are below: 

    It is recommended to have SDA/SCL only up to VCC. However, note (1) states that if SDA/SCL are above supply, an increase in ICC will result. Although an increase in ICC results, I do not suspect damage to the device unless the voltage on SDA/SCL exceeds that of the absolute maximum conditions. 

    The device was also not validated with a voltage on SDA/SCL that is above VCC. Device operation and the electrical characteristics have not been guaranteed by the datasheet in this way, although this implementation will probably work. 

    Regards,

    Tyler
