PCA9548A Low Voltage 8-Channel I2C Switch with Reset
eight downstream pairs, or channels. Any individual
SCx/SDx channel or combination of channels can
be selected, determined by the contents of the
programmable control register. These downstream
channels can be used to resolve I2C slave address
conflicts. For example, if eight identical digital
temperature sensors are needed in the application,
one sensor can be connected at each channel: 0-7.

The system master can reset the PCA9548A in the
event of a time-out or other improper operation by
asserting a low in the RESET input. Similarly, the
power-on reset deselects all channels and initializes
the I2C/SMBus state machine. Asserting RESET
causes the same reset and initialization to occur
without powering down the part. This allows recovery
should once of the downstream I2C buses get stuck in
a low state.
The pass gates of the switches are constructed so
that the VCC pin can be used to limit the maximum
high voltage, which is passed by the PCA9548A.
This allows the use of different bus voltages on
each pair, so that 1.8-V, 2.5-V or 3.3-V parts can
communicate with 5-V parts, without any additional
protection. External pull-up resistors pull the bus up to
the desired voltage level for each channel. All I/O pins
are 5-V tolerant.

8 Detailed Description
8.1 Overview
The PCA9548A is a 8-channel, bidirectional translating I2C switch. The master SCL/SDA signal pair is directed
to eight channels of slave devices, SC0/SD0-SC3/SD3. Any individual downstream channel can be selected as
well as any combination of the eight channels.
The device offers an active-low RESET input which resets the state machine and allows the PCA9548A to
recover if one of the downstream I2C buses get stuck in a low state. The state machine of the device can also be
reset by cycling the power supply, VCC, also known as a power-on reset (POR). Both the RESET function and a
POR cause all channels to be deselected.
The connections of the I2C data path are controlled by the same I2C master device that is switched to
communicate with multiple I2C slaves. After the successful acknowledgment of the slave address (hardware
selectable by A0 and A1 pins), a single 8-bit control register is written to or read from to determine the selected
channels.
The PCA9548A may also be used for voltage translation, allowing the use of different bus voltages on each
SCn/SDn pair such that 1.8-V, 2.5-V, or 3.3-V parts can communicate with 5-V parts. This is achieved by using
external pull-up resistors to pull the bus up to the desired voltage for the master and each slave channel.

8.3 Feature Description
The PCA9548A is an 8-channel, bidirectional translating switch for I2C buses that supports Standard-Mode
(100 kHz) and Fast-Mode (400 kHz) operation. The PCA9548A features I2C control using a single 8-bit control
register in which each bit controls the enabling and disabling for one of the 8 switch channels of I2C data flow.
Depending on the application, voltage translation of the I2C bus can also be achieved using the PCA9548A to
allow 1.8-V, 2.5-V, or 3.3-V parts to communicate with 5-V parts. Additionally, in the event that communication on
the I2C bus enters a fault state, the PCA9548A can be reset to resume normal operation using the RESET pin
feature or by a power-on reset which results from cycling power to the device.

8.4 Device Functional Modes
8.4.1 RESET Input
The RESET input is an active-low signal that may be used to recover from a bus-fault condition. When this signal
is asserted low for a minimum of tWL, the PCA9548A resets its registers and I2C state machine and deselects all
channels. The RESET input must be connected to VCC through a pull-up resistor.
8.4.1.1 RESET Errata
If RESET voltage set higher than VCC, current flows from RESET pin to VCC pin.
8.4.1.1.1 System Impact
VCC is pulled above its regular voltage level.
8.4.1.1.2 System Workaround
Design such that RESET voltage is same or lower than VCC.
8.4.2 Power-On Reset
When power (from 0 V) is applied to VCC, an internal power-on reset holds the PCA9548A in a reset condition
until VCC has reached VPOR. At that point, the reset condition is released and the PCA9548A registers and I2C
state machine initialize to their default states. After that, V CC must be lowered to below VPOR and then back up to
the operating voltage for a power-reset cycle.
8.5 Programming
8.5.1 I2C Interface
The bidirectional I2C bus consists of the serial clock (SCL) and serial data (SDA) lines. Both lines must be
connected to a positive supply through a pull-up resistor when connected to the output stages of a device. Data
transfer may be initiated only when the bus is not busy.
I2C communication with this device is initiated by a master sending a start condition, a high-to-low transition on
the SDA input/output while the SCL input is high (see Figure 8-1). After the start condition, the device address
byte is sent, most significant bit (MSB) first, including the data direction bit (R/ W).
After receiving the valid address byte, this device responds with an acknowledge (ACK), a low on the SDA
input/output during the high of the ACK-related clock pulse. The address inputs (A0–A2) of the slave device must
not be changed between the start and the stop conditions.
On the I2C bus, only one data bit is transferred during each clock pulse. The data on the SDA line must remain
stable during the high pulse of the clock period, as changes in the data line at this time are interpreted as control
commands (start or stop) (see Figure 8-2).
A stop condition, a low-to-high transition on the SDA input/output while the SCL input is high, is sent by the
master (see Figure 8-1).
Any number of data bytes can be transferred from the transmitter to receiver between the start and the stop
conditions. Each byte of eight bits is followed by one ACK bit. The transmitter must release the SDA line before
the receiver can send an ACK bit. The device that acknowledges must pull down the SDA line during the ACK
clock pulse so that the SDA line is stable low during the high pulse of the ACK-related clock period (see Figure
8-3). When a slave receiver is addressed, it must generate an ACK after each byte is received. Similarly, the
master must generate an ACK after each byte that it receives from the slave transmitter. Setup and hold times
must be met to ensure proper operation.
A master receiver signals an end of data to the slave transmitter by not generating an acknowledge (NACK) after
the last byte has been clocked out of the slave. This is done by the master receiver by holding the SDA line high.
In this event, the transmitter must release the data line to enable the master to generate a stop condition.

8.6.2 Control Register
Following the successful acknowledgment of the address byte, the bus master sends a command byte that
is stored in the control register in the PCA9548A (see Figure 8-5). This register can be written and read via
the I2C bus. Each bit in the command byte corresponds to a SCn/SDn channel and a high (or 1) selects
this channel. Multiple SCn/SDn channels may be selected at the same time. When a channel is selected, the
channel becomes active after a stop condition has been placed on the I2C bus. This ensures that all SCn/SDn
lines are in a high state when the channel is made active, so that no false conditions are generated at the time
of connection. A stop condition always must occur immediately after the acknowledge cycle. If multiple bytes are
received by the PCA9548A, it saves the last byte received.

8.6.3 Bus Transactions
Data is exchanged between the master and PCA9548A through write and read commands.
8.6.3.1 Writes
Data is transmitted to the PCA9548A by sending the device address and setting the least-significant bit (LSB) to
a logic 0 (see Figure 8-4 for device address). The command byte is sent after the address and determines which
SCn/SDn channel receives the data that follows the command byte (see Figure 8-6). There is no limitation on the
number of data bytes sent in one write transmission.

8.6.3.2 Reads
The bus master first must send the PCA9548A address with the LSB set to a logic 1 (see Figure 8-4 for device
address). The command byte is sent after the address and determines which SCn/SDn channel is accessed.
After a restart, the device address is sent again, but this time, the LSB is set to a logic 1. Data from the SCn/SDn
channel defined by the command byte then is sent by the PCA9548A (see Figure 8-7). After a restart, the value
of the SCn/SDn channel defined by the command byte matches the SCn/SDn channel being accessed when the
restart occurred. Data is clocked into the SCn/SDn channel on the rising edge of the ACK clock pulse. There is
no limitation on the number of data bytes received in one read transmission, but when the final byte is received,
the bus master must not acknowledge the data.

9 Application Information Disclaimer
Note
Information in the following applications sections is not part of the TI component specification,
and TI does not warrant its accuracy or completeness. TI’s customers are responsible for
determining suitability of components for their purposes, as well as validating and testing their design
implementation to confirm system functionality.
9.1 Application Information
Applications of the PCA9548A contain an I2C (or SMBus) master device and up to eight I2C slave devices.
The downstream channels are ideally used to resolve I2C slave address conflicts. For example, if eight identical
digital temperature sensors are needed in the application, one sensor can be connected at each channel: 0, 1,
2, and 3. When the temperature at a specific location needs to be read, the appropriate channel can be enabled
and all other channels switched off, the data can be retrieved, and the I2C master can move on and read the
next channel.
In an application where the I2C bus contains many additional slave devices that do not result in I2C slave
address conflicts, these slave devices can be connected to any desired channel to distribute the total bus
capacitance across multiple channels. If multiple switches are enabled simultaneously, additional design
requirements must be considered (See the Design Requirements and Detailed Design Procedure sections).
9.2 Typical Application
A typical application of the PCA9548A contains 1 or many separate data pull-up voltages, VCC , one for
the master device and one for each of the selectable slave channels, 0 through 7. In the event where the
master device and all slave devices operate at the same voltage, then the VCC pin can be connected to this
supply voltage. In an application where voltage translation is necessary, additional design requirements must be
considered (See the Design Requirements section).
Figure 9-1 shows an application in which the PCA9548A can be used.

9.2.1 Design Requirements
The A0, A1, and A2 pins are hardware selectable to control the slave address of the PCA9548A. These pins
may be tied directly to GND or VCC in the application.
If multiple slave channels are activated simultaneously in the application, then the total IOL from SCL/SDA to
GND on the master side is the sum of the currents through all pull-up resistors, Rp.
The pass-gate transistors of the PCA9548A are constructed such that the VCC voltage can be used to limit the
maximum voltage that is passed from one I2C bus to another.
Figure 9-2 shows the voltage characteristics of the pass-gate transistors (note that the graph was generated
using data specified in the Electrical Characteristics section of this data sheet). In order for the PCA9548A to act
as a voltage translator, the Vpass voltage must be equal to or lower than the lowest bus voltage. For example,
if the main bus is running at 5 V and the downstream buses are 3.3 V and 2.7 V, Vpass must be equal to or
below 2.7 V to effectively clamp the downstream bus voltages. As shown in Figure 9-2, Vpass(max) is 2.7 V when
the PCA9548A supply voltage is 4 V or lower, so the PCA9548A supply voltage could be set to 3.3 V. Pull-up
resistors then can be used to bring the bus voltages to their appropriate levels (see Figure 9-1).
9.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure
Once all the slaves are assigned to the appropriate slave channels and bus voltages are identified, the pull-up
resistors, Rp, for each of the buses need to be selected appropriately. The minimum pull-up resistance is a
function of the reference voltage of the specific I2C channel (VDPUX), VOL,(max), and IOL as shown in Equation 1.
Rp(min)
VDPUX
VOL(max)
IOL
(1)
The maximum pull-up resistance is a function of the maximum rise time, tr (300 ns for fast-mode operation, fSCL
= 400 kHz) and bus capacitance, Cbis given by Equation 2.
Rp(max)
tr
0.8473 u Cb
(2)
The maximum bus capacitance for an I2C bus must not exceed 400 pF for fast-mode operation. The bus
capacitance can be approximated by adding the capacitance of the PCA9548A, Cio(OFF), the capacitance of
wires, connections, traces, and the capacitance of each individual slave on a given channel. If multiple channels
are activated simultaneously, each of the slaves on all channels contribute to total bus capacitance.

10 Power Supply Recommendations
10.1 Power-On Reset Requirements
In the event of a glitch or data corruption, PCA9548A can be reset to its default conditions by using the power-on
reset feature. Power-on reset requires that the device go through a power cycle to be completely reset. This
reset also happens when the device is powered on for the first time in an application.
The two types of power-on reset are shown in Figure 10-1 and Figure 10-2.

Glitches in the power supply can also affect the power-on reset performance of this device. The glitch width
(VCC_GW) and height (VCC_GH) are dependent on each other. The bypass capacitance, source impedance, and
the device impedance are factors that affect power-on reset performance. Figure 10-3 and Table 10-1 provide
more information on how to measure these specifications.

VPOR is critical to the power-on reset. VPOR is the voltage level at which the reset condition is released and
all the registers and the I2C/SMBus state machine are initialized to their default states. The value of VPOR
differs based on the VCC being lowered to or from 0. Figure 10-4 and Table 10-1 provide more details on this
specification.

11 Layout
11.1 Layout Guidelines
For PCB layout of the PCA9548A, common PCB layout practices must be followed but additional concerns
related to high-speed data transfer such as matched impedances and differential pairs are not a concern for I2C
signal speeds. It is common to have a dedicated ground plane on an inner layer of the board and pins that are
connected to ground must have a low-impedance path to the ground plane in the form of wide polygon pours
and multiple vias. By-pass and de-coupling capacitors are commonly used to control the voltage on the VCC pin,
using a larger capacitor to provide additional power in the event of a short power supply glitch and a smaller
capacitor to filter out high-frequency ripple.
In an application where voltage translation is not required, all VDPUX voltages and VCC could be at the same
potential and a single copper plane could connect all of pull-up resistors to the appropriate reference voltage. In
an application where voltage translation is required, VDPUM and VDPU0 – VDPU7 may all be on the same layer of
the board with split planes to isolate different voltage potentials.
To reduce the total I2C bus capacitance added by PCB parasitics, data lines (SCn and SDn) must be a short
as possible and the widths of the traces must also be minimized (For example, 5-10 mils depending on copper
weight).
