PCA9543A: How its works

Part Number: PCA9543A

Hello

I read the Datasheet of PCA9543A, but I can't understand how it works.

I have two IMU with the same I2C address and I want to use the PCA9543 to read this IMU, but I really don't understand how it works, how I can access to each IMU.

Thanks.

  • Hi Laura, 

    You have selected the ideal part for your application. Because this part has two different channels, you can put one IMU on each channel. So IMU 1 will be on Channel 0 and IMU 2 will be on Channel 1. If you go to page 14 of the datasheet, you can see how certain bits control which channel is enabled. This will allow you to control each one independently. Let me know if this makes sense.
