PCA9306: What is the maximum data rate supported by PCA9306

Part Number: PCA9306
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: LSF0102

Hi team,

As titled, what is the maximum data rate PCA9306 could support? Is it OK to use it for fast mode plus >1MHz I2C cumminication?

Any specific items need to be noticed in the design?

Thanks

Max

  • The PCA9306 is identical with the LSF0102.

    The speed of the rising signal edges is limited by the low-pass filter formed by the pull-up resistors and the parasitic capacitances of your circuit. Higher speeds require stronger pull-up resistors, which require that your I²C devices have higher drive strength.

    1 MHz is not that fast, and should be achievable with moderate pull-up resistors. I cannot predict what capacitances the board will have; I'd check the I²C waveforms resulting from different pullups with an oscilloscope.

  • Hi, expert

    As your comment, PCA9306 is identical with LSF0102,  why they are two categories in TI' web site, one in Interface and one in logic/

    thanks

  • Apparently, TI assumes that there are engineers that assume that all I²C devices are named PCAxxx or TCAxxx.
