Prodigy 160 points

Part Number: TCA9517A
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TCA9517

Tool/software:

◆Question

　This device (TCA9517A) and the TCA9517 have the same terminals.

　Are the internal specifications the same?

　Is the TCA9517A a suitable replacement for the TCA9517?

Best regards

    The datasheet says:

    The TCA9517A offers a higher contention level threshold, VILC, than the TCA9517, which allows connections to slaves which have weaker pulldown ability.

    ◆Additional questions

    ＞The TCA9517A offers a higher contention level threshold, VILC, than the TCA9517, which allows connections to slaves which have weaker pulldown ability.

    ⇒ In other words, can a larger pull-up resistor be connected to the TCA9517A compared to the TCA9517?

    Also, other than VILC, are there any other specification differences compared to TCA9517?

    Best regards

    Both TCA9517 and TCA9517A support many different pull-up resistors. The question is how low the worst-case VOL of your other I²C devices is.

    As far as I can see, there are no other differences.

    "larger pull-up" as in stronger pull-up yes. Stronger means smaller resistance value which would push the VOL higher. VILC = 0.45V allows for more margin here.

    VILC is the only change.
