  • Hi Stephan,

    Schematic looks good overall. However, please see 9.4.1.1 of the data sheet  recommending no pull-ups on the B-side.

    Also, remove R71 and R72 and place the decoupling caps as close to the power supply as possible (cap should be for each power supply and not for every I/O), thanks.

    Best Regards,

    Michael.

  • Hi Michael,

    Could you confirm that they don't need and external pullup resistor on the B-Side?

    According to the client, B-side is connected to Master and is also on the same line as the 2 slave. They already have a pull up for  I2C bus, so they want to know if they can keep it or remove it.  Thank you in advance

  • The TCA980x does not work with pull-up resistors on the B side. You must remove them.
