TCA9538: Ioff function

Part Number: TCA9538

Hello,

Our customer use the TCA9538.

The customer input SDA and SCL signal while VCC=0V.

Does it damage the device?

Does the TCA9538 have Ioff function?

Best Regards,

Naoki Aoyama

  • Hey Naoki-san,

    This should not damage the part. The SDA/SCL pins on the device are high impedance. As long as you are not applying voltages higher than what the datasheet recommends, the device should be fine.

    I am assuming the SDA/SCL pins will be tied to a pull up resistor tied to Vcc and SDA/SCL will toggle from Vcc to GND. This should not be an issue.
