PCA9306: If PCA9306 can support hot-plug

Part Number: PCA9306

Hi team,

If our PCA9306 device can support hot-plug application?   Thanks.

  • Hey Lilian,

    For PCA9306 it would be best to have a pull down resistor tied to the EN pin and then tie a GPIO pin from a mcu/FPGA/master to the EN. This way the PCA9306 will be powered off until the master enables it back on.

    I would also recommend that GPIO voltage be greater than or atleast equal to the lowest of the two (Vref1 or Vref2).

    Thanks,

    -Bobby
