PCA9508
Hot swappable level translating I2C-bus repeater
Rev. 01 — 28 April 2008
Product data sheet
1. General description
The PCA9508 is a CMOS integrated circuit that supports hot-swap with zero offset and
provides level shifting between low voltage (down to 0.9 V) and higher voltage (2.7 V to
5.5 V) for I2C-bus or SMBus applications. While retaining all the operating modes and
features of the I2C-bus system during the level shifts, it also permits extension of the
I2C-bus by providing bidirectional buffering for both the data (SDA) and the clock (SCL)
lines, thus enabling two buses of 400 pF. Using the PCA9508 enables the system
designer to isolate two halves of a bus for both voltage and capacitance, and perform
hot-swap and voltage level translation. Furthermore, the dual supply pins can be powered
up in any sequence; when any of the supply pins are unpowered, the 5 V tolerant I/O are
high-impedance.
The hot swap feature allows an I/O card to be inserted into a live backplane without
corrupting the data and clock buses. Control circuitry prevents the backplane from being
connected to the card until a stop command or bus idle occurs on the backplane without
bus contention on the card. Zero offset output voltage allows multiple PCA9508s to be put
in series and still maintains an excellent noise margin.
PCA9508 has B side and A side bus drivers. The 2.7 V to 5.5 V bus B side drivers behave
much like the drivers on the PCA9515A device, while the adjustable voltage bus A side
drivers drive more current and incur no static offset voltage. This results in a LOW on the
B side translating into a nearly 0 V LOW on the A side.
The static offset design of the B side PCA9508 I/O drivers prevents them from being
connected to another device that has a rise time accelerator including the PCA9510/A,
PCA9511/A, PCA9512/A, PCA9513/A, or PCA9514/A or a static offset voltage including
the PCA9507 (B side), PCA9508 (B side), PCA9509 (A side), PCA9515/A, PCA9516A,
PCA9517/A (B side), PCA9518, PCA9519 (A side), or P82B96/PCA9600 (Sx/Sy side).
The A side of two or more PCA9508s can be connected together, however, to allow a star
topology with the A side on the common bus, and the A side can be connected directly to
any other buffer with static or dynamic offset voltage. Multiple PCA9508s can be
connected in series, A side to B side, with no build-up in offset voltage with only
time-of-flight delays to consider.
The PCA9508 drivers are not enabled unless the bus is idle, VCC(A) is above 0.8 V and
VCC(B) is above 2.5 V. The EN pin can also be used to turn the drivers on and off under
system control. Caution should be observed to only change the state of the enable pin
when the bus is idle.
The output pull-down on the B side internal buffer LOW is set for approximately 0.5 V,
while the input threshold of the internal buffer is set about 70 mV lower (0.43 V). When the
B side I/O is driven LOW internally, the LOW is not recognized as a LOW by the input.

This prevents a lock-up condition from occurring. The output pull-down on the A side
drives a hard LOW and the input level is set at 0.5VCC(A) to accommodate the need for a
lower LOW level in systems where the low voltage side supply voltage is as low as 0.9 V.

6. Functional description
Refer to Figure 1 “Functional diagram of PCA9508”.
The PCA9508 enables I2C-bus or SMBus translation down to VCC(A) as low as 0.9 V
without degradation of system performance. The PCA9508 contains two bidirectional
open-drain buffers specifically designed to provide superior hot-swap and/or support
up-translation/down-translation between the low voltage (as low as 0.9 V) and a 3.3 V or
5 V I2C-bus or SMBus. All inputs and I/Os are overvoltage tolerant to 5.5 V even when the
device is unpowered (VCC(B) and/or VCC(A) = 0 V). The PCA9508 includes a power-up
circuit that keeps the output drivers turned off until VCC(B) is above 2.5 V and the VCC(A) is
above 0.8 V. VCC(B) and VCC(A) can be applied in any sequence at power-up. VCC(A) is only
used to provide the 0.5VCC(A) reference to the A side input comparators and for the power
good detect circuit. The PCA9508 logic and all I/Os are powered by the VCC(B) pin.
An undervoltage/initialization circuit holds the PCA9508 in a disconnected state which
presents high-impedance to all SDA and SCL pins during power-up. A LOW on the enable
pin (EN) also forces the parts into the disconnected state. As the power supply is brought
up and EN is HIGH or the part is powered and EN is taken from LOW to HIGH it enters an
initialization state where the internal references are stabilized. At the end of the
initialization state the ‘STOP bit and bus idle’ detect circuit is enabled. With the EN pin

Hot swappable level translating I2C-bus repeater
HIGH long enough to complete the initialization state (ten) and remaining HIGH when all
the SDA and SCL pins have been HIGH for the bus idle time or when all pins are HIGH
and a STOP condition is seen on the SDAA and SCLA pins, SDAA is connected to SDAB
and SCLA is connected to SCLB.
6.1 A side to B side
Once connected, when the PCA9508 senses a LOW level on the A side (below
0.5VCC(A)), it turns on the corresponding B side driver (either SDA or SCL) and drives the
B side down to about 0.5 V. When the external driver turns off, the A side will begin to rise
as it is pulled HIGH by the bus pull-up resistor. When the A side reaches 0.5VCC(A), the
B side driver turns off and both A and B will continue to rise. The result is two smooth
exponential rising edges on both buses with a propagation delay between them which is a
function of the RC time constant on the A side bus.
6.2 B side to A side
When a LOW level is sensed on the B side (below 0.4 V), the corresponding A side driver
is turned on to drive the A side to nearly 0 V. When the external driver turns off, the B side
will begin to rise as it is pulled HIGH by the bus pull-up resistor. When the B side reaches
0.5 V, the A side driver will turn off. The B side driver will remain at about 0.5 V until the
A side rises above 0.5VCC(A), then the B side will continue to rise. The result is a plateau
on the B side rising edge. See Figure 11.
6.3 Weak drive on B side
The following condition should be avoided as it causes the PCA9508 to create a glitch on
the bus. As long as I2C-bus devices connected to the B side can pull the bus lines lower
than 0.4 V, this problem will never occur. When the B side falls first and goes below
0.3VCC(B), the A side driver is turned on and the A side is pulled down to 0 V. The B side
pull-down is switched on and unless the B side is pulled below 0.4 V by an external driver,
the A side pull-down will switch off and the A side will be pulled up by the pull-up resistor.
When the A side rises above 0.5VCC(A), the B side pull-down will turn off. To prevent this
glitch, it is necessary to make certain that the B side LOW level driven by an external
driver is below 0.4 V.
6.4 Enable pin (EN)
The EN pin is active HIGH with an internal pull-up to VCC(B) and allows the user to select
when the repeater is active. This can be used to isolate a badly behaved slave on
power-up until after the system power-up reset. It should never change state during an
I2C-bus operation because disabling during a bus operation will hang the bus.
The EN pin should only change state when the global bus and the repeater port are in an
idle state to prevent system failures.
If the PCA9508 is enabled while the bus is active, the PCA9508 will connect at the first
STOP signal or at the first gap in activity that satisfies the internal idle bus time after the
enable sequence is complete.

6.5 I2C-bus systems
As with the standard I2C-bus system, pull-up resistors are required to provide the logic
HIGH levels on the buffered bus (standard open-collector configuration of the I2C-bus).
The size of these pull-up resistors depends on the system, but each side of the repeater
must have a pull-up resistor. This part designed to work with Standard-mode and
Fast-mode I2C-bus devices in addition to SMBus devices. Standard-mode I2C-bus devices
only specify 3 mA output drive; this limits the termination current to 3 mA in a generic
I2C-bus system where Standard-mode devices and multiple masters are possible. Under
certain conditions higher termination currents can be used.
Please see application note AN255, I2C/SMBus Repeaters, Hubs and Expanders for
additional information on sizing resistors and precautions when using more than one
PCA9508 in a system or using the PCA9508 in conjunction with other bus buffers.
7. Application design-in information
A typical application is shown in Figure 4. In this example, the system master is running
on a 3.3 V I2C-bus while the slave is connected to a 1.2 V bus. Both buses run at 400 kHz.
Master devices can be placed on either bus.

Typical application
The PCA9508 is 5 V tolerant, so it does not require any additional circuitry to translate
between 0.9 V to 5.5 V bus voltages and 2.7 V to 5.5 V bus voltages.
When the A side of the PCA9508 is pulled LOW by a driver on the I2C-bus, a comparator
detects the falling edge when it goes below 0.5VCC(A) and causes the internal driver on the
B side to turn on, causing the B side to pull down to about 0.5 V. When the B side of the
PCA9508 falls, first a CMOS hysteresis type input detects the falling edge and causes the
internal driver on the A side to turn on and pull the A side pin down to ground. In order to
illustrate what would be seen in a typical application, refer to Figure 7 and Figure 8. If the
bus master in Figure 4 were to write to the slave through the PCA9508, waveforms shown
in Figure 7 would be observed on the A bus. This looks like a normal I2C-bus transmission
except that the HIGH level may be as low as 0.9 V, and the turn on and turn off of the
acknowledge signals are slightly delayed.

Hot swappable level translating I2C-bus repeater
On the B bus side of the PCA9508, the clock and data lines would have a positive offset
from ground equal to the VOL of the PCA9508. After the 8th clock pulse, the data line will
be pulled to the VOL of the slave device, which is very close to ground in this example. At
the end of the acknowledge, the level rises only to the LOW level set by the driver in the
PCA9508 for a short delay while the A bus side rises above 0.5VCC(A) then it continues
HIGH. It is important to note that any arbitration or clock stretching events require that the
LOW level on the B bus side at the input of the PCA9508 (VIL) be at or below 0.4 V to be
recognized by the PCA9508 and then transmitted to the A bus side.
Multiple PCA9508 A sides can be connected in a star configuration (Figure 5), allowing all
nodes to communicate with each other.
Multiple PCA9508s can be connected in series (Figure 6) as long as the A side is
connected to the B side. I2C-bus slave devices can be connected to any of the bus
segments. The number of devices that can be connected in series is limited by repeater
delay/time-of-flight considerations on the maximum bus speed requirements.

Times are specified with loads of 1.35 kΩ pull-up resistance and 57 pF load capacitance on the B side, and 167 Ω pull-up resistance
and 57 pF load capacitance on the A side. Different load resistance and capacitance will alter the RC time constant, thereby changing
the propagation delay and transition times.
[2]
Pull-up voltages are VCC(A) on the A side and VCC(B) on the B side.
[3]
Typical values were measured with VCC(A) = 3.3 V at Tamb = 25 °C, unless otherwise noted.
[4]
The tPLH delay data from B side to A side is measured at 0.5 V on the B side to 0.5VCC(A) on the A side when VCC(A) is less than 2 V, and
1.5 V on the A side if VCC(A) is greater than 2 V.
[5]
Typical value measured with VCC(A) = 2.7 V at Tamb = 25 °C.
[6]
The proportional delay data from A side to B side is measured at 0.3VCC(A) on the A side to 1.5 V on the B side.
[7]
Defined as the time required to connect from B side to A side, after B side switches from active to idle, when A side is idle.
[8]
Defined as the time required to connect from B side to A side, when B side and A side are idle.
[9]
Defined as the time required to connect A side to B side, when B side is idle and A side is going active from idle, by a STOP condition.
[10] The enable pin, EN, should only change state when the global bus and the repeater port are in an idle state.

13. Soldering of SMD packages
This text provides a very brief insight into a complex technology. A more in-depth account
of soldering ICs can be found in Application Note AN10365 “Surface mount reflow
soldering description”.
13.1 Introduction to soldering
Soldering is one of the most common methods through which packages are attached to
Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs), to form electrical circuits. The soldered joint provides both
the mechanical and the electrical connection. There is no single soldering method that is
ideal for all IC packages. Wave soldering is often preferred when through-hole and
Surface Mount Devices (SMDs) are mixed on one printed wiring board; however, it is not
suitable for fine pitch SMDs. Reflow soldering is ideal for the small pitches and high
densities that come with increased miniaturization.
13.2 Wave and reflow soldering
Wave soldering is a joining technology in which the joints are made by solder coming from
a standing wave of liquid solder. The wave soldering process is suitable for the following:
• Through-hole components
• Leaded or leadless SMDs, which are glued to the surface of the printed circuit board
Not all SMDs can be wave soldered. Packages with solder balls, and some leadless
packages which have solder lands underneath the body, cannot be wave soldered. Also,
leaded SMDs with leads having a pitch smaller than ~0.6 mm cannot be wave soldered,
due to an increased probability of bridging.
The reflow soldering process involves applying solder paste to a board, followed by
component placement and exposure to a temperature profile. Leaded packages,
packages with solder balls, and leadless packages are all reflow solderable.
Key characteristics in both wave and reflow soldering are:
•
•
•
•
•
•
Board specifications, including the board finish, solder masks and vias
Package footprints, including solder thieves and orientation
The moisture sensitivity level of the packages
Package placement
Inspection and repair
Lead-free soldering versus SnPb soldering
13.3 Wave soldering
Key characteristics in wave soldering are:
• Process issues, such as application of adhesive and flux, clinching of leads, board
transport, the solder wave parameters, and the time during which components are
exposed to the wave
• Solder bath specifications, including temperature and impurities

13.4 Reflow soldering
Key characteristics in reflow soldering are:
• Lead-free versus SnPb soldering; note that a lead-free reflow process usually leads to
higher minimum peak temperatures (see Figure 18) than a SnPb process, thus
reducing the process window
• Solder paste printing issues including smearing, release, and adjusting the process
window for a mix of large and small components on one board
• Reflow temperature profile; this profile includes preheat, reflow (in which the board is
heated to the peak temperature) and cooling down. It is imperative that the peak
temperature is high enough for the solder to make reliable solder joints (a solder paste
characteristic). In addition, the peak temperature must be low enough that the
packages and/or boards are not damaged. The peak temperature of the package
depends on package thickness and volume and is classified in accordance with
Table 7 and 8

times.
Studies have shown that small packages reach higher temperatures during reflow
soldering, see Figure 18.
