PCA9515A: Newer device

Part Number: PCA9515A
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: PCA9515B, , TCA9800, TCA9509, TCA9517

Hi,

Could you tell me the newer recommendation device against PCA9515ADR?

  • The web site recommends the PCA9515B, but it is not available in the SOIC package.

    The PCA9515x has a static voltage offset on both sides. Newer devices like the TCA9517(A) or TCA9509 have an offset only on one side, which is usually preferred (but it does not make a difference in existing circuits that already work with the PCA9515A). The TCA9800/1/2/3 uses a current source instead of a voltage offset, which canresult in better signal quality, but you must not use pull-up resistors on the B side.

  • Hi Taku,

    Please let me know if you have any more questions. Clemens provided a good answer.
