PCA9517A
Level translating I2C-bus repeater
Rev. 4.1 — 24 May 2016
Product data sheet
1. General description
The PCA9517A is a CMOS integrated circuit that provides level shifting between low
voltage (down to 0.9 V) and higher voltage (2.7 V to 5.5 V) 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 PCA9517A enables the system designer to isolate two halves of a bus
for both voltage and capacitance. The SDA and SCL pins are overvoltage tolerant and are
high-impedance when the PCA9517A is unpowered.
The 2.7 V to 5.5 V bus port B drivers behave much like the drivers on the PCA9515A
device, while the adjustable voltage bus port A drivers drive more current and eliminate
the static offset voltage. This results in a LOW on the port B translating into a nearly 0 V
LOW on the port A which accommodates smaller voltage swings of lower voltage logic.
The static offset design of the port B PCA9517A I/O drivers prevent them from being
connected to another device that has rise time accelerator including the PCA9510,
PCA9511, PCA9512, PCA9513, PCA9514, PCA9515A, PCA9516A, PCA9517A (port B),
or PCA9518. Port A of two or more PCA9517As can be connected together, however, to
allow a star topography with port A on the common bus, and port A can be connected
directly to any other buffer with static or dynamic offset voltage. Multiple PCA9517As can
be connected in series, port A to port B, with no build-up in offset voltage with only time of
flight delays to consider.
The PCA9517A drivers are not enabled unless 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 port B 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
port B 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 port A drives a
hard LOW and the input level is set at 0.3VCC(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.

PCA9517ADP/DG is functionally the same (electrically and mechanically) as the PCA9517ADP, but was initially produced (e.g., “born”)
with Dark Green (lead-free and halogen/antimony-free) package material and is a temporary unique orderable part number for
customers who desire to order and only receive Dark Green package material. The standard part PCA9517ADP will transition to Dark
Green package material in 2Q’12 and then the PCA9517ADP and PCA9517ADP/DG devices will be identical. The PCA9517ADP/DG
part number will be EOL after several years as customers who used this temporary part number update their BOM to the normal part
number.

HWSON8 package die supply ground is connected to both GND pin and exposed center pad. GND pin
must be connected to supply ground for proper device operation. For enhanced thermal, electrical, and
board level performance, the exposed pad needs to be soldered to the board using a corresponding
thermal pad on the board and for proper head conduction through the board, thermal vias need to be
incorporated in the printed-circuit board in the thermal pad region.
6. Functional description
Refer to Figure 1 “Functional diagram of PCA9517A”.
The PCA9517A enables I2C-bus or SMBus translation down to VCC(A) as low as 0.9 V
without degradation of system performance. The PCA9517A contains two bidirectional
open-drain buffers specifically designed to 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 PCA9517A 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. After power-up and with the enable
(EN) HIGH, a LOW level on port A (below 0.3VCC(A)) turns the corresponding port B driver
(either SDA or SCL) on and drives port B down to about 0.5 V. When port A rises above
0.3VCC(A), the port B pull-down driver is turned off and the external pull-up resistor pulls
the pin HIGH. When port B falls first and goes below 0.4 V the port A driver is turned on
and port A pulls down to 0 V. The port A pull-down is not enabled unless the port B
voltage goes below 0.4 V. If the port B low voltage goes below 0.4 V, the port B pull-down
driver is enabled and port B will only be able to rise to 0.5 V until port A rises above
0.3VCC(A), then port B will continue to rise being pulled up by the external pull-up resistor.
The VCC(A) is only used to provide the 0.3VCC(A) reference to the port A input comparators
and for the power good detect circuit. The PCA9517A logic and all I/Os are powered by
the VCC(B) pin.

Level translating I2C-bus repeater
6.1 Enable
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 and
enabling part way through a bus cycle could confuse the I2C-bus parts being enabled.
The enable pin should only change state when the global bus and the repeater port are in
an idle state to prevent system failures.
6.2 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
PCA9517A in a system or using the PCA9517A in conjunction with other bus buffers.
7. Application design-in information
A typical application is shown in Figure 5. 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.

Level translating I2C-bus repeater
When port A of the PCA9517A is pulled LOW by a driver on the I2C-bus, a comparator
detects the falling edge when it goes below 0.3VCC(A) and causes the internal driver on
port B to turn on, causing port B to pull down to about 0.5 V. When port B of the
PCA9517A falls, first a CMOS hysteresis type input detects the falling edge and causes
the internal driver on port A to turn on and pull the port A pin down to ground. In order to
illustrate what would be seen in a typical application, refer to Figure 9 and Figure 10. If the
bus master in Figure 5 were to write to the slave through the PCA9517A, waveforms
shown in Figure 9 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.
On the B bus side of the PCA9517A, the clock and data lines would have a positive offset
from ground equal to the VOL of the PCA9517A. After the eighth 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
PCA9517A for a short delay while the A bus side rises above 0.3VCC(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 PCA9517A (VIL) be at or below 0.4 V to be
recognized by the PCA9517A and then transmitted to the A bus side.
Multiple PCA9517A port A sides can be connected in a star configuration (Figure 6),
allowing all nodes to communicate with each other.
Multiple PCA9517As can be connected in series (Figure 7) as long as port A is connected
to port B. 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 k pull-up resistance and 57 pF load capacitance on port B, and 167 pull-up resistance and
57 pF load capacitance on port A. 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 port A and VCC(B) on port B.
[3]
Typical values were measured with VCC(A) = 3.3 V at Tamb = 25 C, unless otherwise noted.
[4]
The tPLH delay data from port B to port A is measured at 0.5 V on port B to 0.5VCC(A) on port A when VCC(A) is less than 2 V, and 1.5 V
on port A 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 port A to port B is measured at 0.3VCC(A) on port A to 1.5 V on port B.
[7]
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.
