• Manufacturer Part Number: MAX7358
• Description: The MAX7356/MAX7357/MAX7358 8-channel I²C switches/multiplexers expand the main I²C bus to any combination of 8 extended I²C buses
• Manufacturer: Maxim

If either line of any downstream bus is low for a period
exceeding 25ms between t
MAX7357/MAX7358 detect a lock-up fault on that bus
and takes the action configured by the user. If the lock-
up is not on the main bus, SDA and SCL return to the
high state at the same time. The MAX7357 or MAX7358
then identifies which SD_ or SC_ is still pulled low. If the
optional interrupt function is enabled (by setting B0 of
the configuration register), an active-low interrupt is
generated at RST/INT.
If B4 in the configuration register is set to 1, then only
faults on connected buses cause the MAX7357 or
MAX7358 to disconnect all buses from each other.
When this is the case, faults detected on disconnected
buses set the flag in the lock-up status register, and, if
enabled, notify the host of the fault, but do not discon-
nect the buses from one another.
B1 of the configuration register enables the flush-out
sequence. If this bit is set to 1, the MAX7357 or
MAX7358 attempts to send a flush-out sequence over
the locked SD_ and SC_ pair (the sequence begins at

the locked bus (SD_ and SC_) is released at t

MAX7357 or MAX7358 lock-up status register to iden-
tify the locked-up bus. If RST/INT is enabled as an
interrupt, it is released once a read command to the
lock-up indication register is received by the MAX7357
or MAX7358 (shown at t

by setting bit 2 of the configuration register.

By setting bit B7 in the configuration register to 1, a pre-
connection wiggle test is enabled for all downstream
buses. This test only runs on the downstream bus when
the bus is selected through the switch control register.
Enabling this test does not affect any bus that is already
connected to the host bus; however, deselecting and
subsequently reselecting the bus will cause the test to
occur. The test is performed when the switch control reg-
ister bit (or bits if multiple buses are selected in the same
I
is received. It consists of the MAX7357 or MAX7358
pulling the downstream clock line low, then the down-
stream data line low. Both lines are checked for a nomi-
nal low value, and then the clock line is released followed
by the data line (Note: This is an I
is seen by any I
bus). If either the clock or data line (or both) fail to pull
low during the test, the MAX7357 or MAX7358 do not
allow that downstream bus to connect to the host. If the
optional interrupt notification bit is set (B0), the device
notifies the host that a fault has occurred. The I
can then read the MAX7357 or MAX7358 registers to find
out which bus or buses caused the fault. Faults detected
by this test are stored in the preconnection fault register
(0x06). The stuck high Fault register is cleared once this
register is read, resetting the device, or disabling the
preconnection test.
The MAX7356/MAX7357/MAX7358 family of devices
has selectable device addresses through three external
inputs. The slave address consists of 4 fixed bits
(A6–A3 set to 1110); followed by 3 pin-programmable
bits (A2, A1, A0), as shown in Figure 7. The addresses
A2, A1, and A0 can also be driven dynamically if
required, but the values must be stable when they are
expected in the address sequence.
