The TCA9509 buffers both the serial data (SDA) and
the serial clock (SCL) signals on the I2C bus, thus
allowing 400-pF bus capacitance on the B-side. This
device can also be used to isolate two halves of a bus
for voltage and capacitance.
The TCA9509 has two types of drivers – A-side
drivers and B-side drivers. All inputs and B-side I/Os
are overvoltage tolerant to 5.5 V. The A-side I/Os
are overvoltage tolerant to 5.5 V when the device is
unpowered (VCCB and/or VCCA = 0 V).

5 Description (continued)
The bus port B drivers are compliant with SMBus I/O levels, while the A-side uses a current sensing mechanism
to detect the input or output LOW signal which prevents bus lock-up. The A-side uses a 1 mA current source
for pull-up and a 200 Ω pull-down driver. This results in a LOW on the A-side accommodating smaller voltage
swings. The output pull-down on the A-side internal buffer LOW is set for approximately 0.2 V, while the input
threshold of the internal buffer is set about 50 mV lower than that of the output voltage LOW. When the A-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 B-side drives a hard LOW and the input level is set at 0.3 of SMBus
or I2C-bus voltage level which enables B side to connect to any other I2C-bus devices or buffer.
The TCA9509 drivers are not enabled unless VCCA is above 0.8 V and VCCB is above 2.5 V. The enable (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 EN pin when the bus is idle.

9 Detailed Description
9.1 Overview
This TCA9509 integrated circuit is an I2C bus/SMBus Repeater for use in I2C/SMBus systems. It can also
provide bidirectional voltage-level translation (up-translation/down-translation) between low voltages (down to
0.9 V) and higher voltages (2.7 V to 5.5 V) in mixed-mode applications. This device enables I2C and similar bus
systems to be extended, without degradation of performance even during level shifting.
The TCA9509 buffers both the serial data (SDA) and the serial clock (SCL) signals on the I2C bus, thus allowing
400-pF bus capacitance on the B-side. This device can also be used to isolate two halves of a bus for voltage
and capacitance.
The TCA9509 has two types of drivers – A-side drivers and B-side drivers. All inputs and B-side I/O’s are
overvoltage tolerant to 5.5V. The A-side I/O’s are overvoltage tolerant to 5.5 V when the device is unpowered
(VCCB and/or VCCA = 0V).

9.3 Feature Description
9.3.1 Two-Channel Bidirectional Buffer
The TCA9509 is a two-channel bidirectional buffer with level-shifting capabilities, featuring an integrated current
source on the A-side.
9.3.2 Integrated A-Side Current Source
The A-side ports of the TCA9509 feature an integrated 1 mA current source, eliminating the need for external
pull-up resistors on SDAA and SCLA.
9.3.3 Standard Mode and Fast Mode Support
The TCA9509 supports standard mode as well as fast mode I2C. The maximum system operating frequency will
depend on system design and delays added by the repeater.

10 Application and Implementation
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.
10.1 Application Information
The TCA9509 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 B-side of the TCA9509 is pulled low by a driver on the I2C bus and the falling edge goes below 0.3
VCCB, it causes the internal driver on the A-side to turn on, causing the A-side to pull down to about 0.2 V (VOL).
When the A-side of the TCA9509 falls, a comparator detects the falling edge and causes the internal driver on
the B-side to turn on and pull the B-side pin down to ground. In order to illustrate what would be seen in a
typical application, refer to Figure 7-1. If the bus controller in Figure 10-1 were to write to the target through the
TCA9509, waveforms shown in Figure 7-2 would be observed on the B 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.
On the A-side bus of the TCA9509, the clock and data lines would have a positive offset from ground equal to
the VOL of the TCA9509. After the eighth clock pulse, the data line is pulled to the VOL of the controller device,
which is 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 TCA9509 for a short delay, while the B-bus side rises above 0.3 VCCB and then continues
high. It is important to note that any arbitration or clock stretching events require that the low level on the A-bus
side at the input of the TCA9509 (VIL) be at or below VILC to be recognized by the TCA9509 and then transmitted
to the B-bus side.

10.2.1 Design Requirements
A typical application is shown in Figure 10-1. In this example, the system controller is running on a 1.2-V I2C
bus, and the target is connected to a 3.3-V bus. Both buses run at 400 kHz. Controller devices can be placed on
either bus. For the level translating application, the following should be true: VCCA ≤ (VCCB – 1 V)
• VCCA = 0.9 V to 5.5 V
• VCCB = 2.7 to 5.5 V
• A-side ports must not be connected together
• Pullup resistors should not be placed on the A-side ports

10.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure
10.2.2.1 Clock Stretching Support
The TCA9509 can support clock stretching, but care needs to be taken to minimize the overshoot voltage
presented during the hand-off between the target and controller. This is best done by increasing the pull-up
resistor value on B-side ports.
10.2.2.2 VILC and Pulldown Strength Requirements
For the TCA9509 to function correctly, all devices on the A-side must be able to pull the A-side below the voltage
input low contention level (VILC). This means that the VOL of any device on the A-side must be below VILC min.
The VOL can be adjusted by changing the IOLthrough the device which is set by the pull-up resistance value.
The pull-up resistance on the A-side must be carefully selected to ensure that the logic levels will be transferred
correctly to the B-side.

Figure 10-4. Typical Series Application, A-side Connected to B-Side
To further extend the I2C bus for long traces/cables, multiple TCA9509 devices can be connected in series as
long as the A-side is connected to the B-side and VCCA ≤ (VCCB – 1 V) must also be met. Series connections can
also be made by connecting both B-sides together while following power supply rule VCCA ≤ (VCCB – 1 V). I2C
bus target 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.

11 Power Supply Recommendations
VCCB and VCCA can be applied in any sequence at power up. The TCA9509 includes a power-up circuit that
keeps the output drivers turned off until VCCB is above 2.5 V and the VCCA is above 0.8 V. After power up and
with the EN high, a low level on the B-side (below 0.3 × VCCB) turns the corresponding A-side driver (either SDA
or SCL) on and drives the A-side down to approximately 0.2 V. When the B-side rises above 0.3 × VCCB, the
A-side pull-down driver is turned off and the external pull-up resistor pulls the pin high. When the A-side falls
first and goes below 0.3 × VCCA, the B-side driver is turned on and the B-side pulls down to 0 V. The A-side
pull-down is not enabled unless the A-side voltage goes below 0.4 V. If the A-side low voltage does not go below
0.5 V, the B-side driver turns off when the A-side voltage is above 0.7 × VCCA. If the A-side low voltage goes
below 0.4 V, the A-side pull-down driver is enabled, and the A-side is able to rise to only 0.5 V until the B-side
rises above 0.3 × VCCB.
A 100 nF a decoupling capacitor should be placed as close to the VCCA and VCCB pins in order to provide proper
filtering of supply noise.
