devices. Rise times are determined simply by the side of the buffer with the slowest RC
time constant.

the maximum permissible capacitance load, thus the maximum loading of the system can
be 5 times that which could be achieved without buffering.
The channel enable function can be used to interface buses of different operating
frequencies. When certain bus sections are enabled, the system frequency may be limited
by a bus section having a slave device specified only to 100 kHz. When that bus section is
disabled, the slow slave is isolated and the remaining bus can be run at 400 kHz. The
timing performance and current sinking capability will allow the PCA9646 to run in excess
of the 1 MHz maximum limit of the I
load at 100 kHz.

be run from the same device. The receiving end may then again be used as a 4-way bus
switch, radiating out into another four lines.
Using the address pins, this entire structure may be repeated. Thus a total of eight
PCA9646 ‘line drivers’ may be connected to a single bus master (U1), allowing for
32 (8  4) long distance bus pairs to be driven from the one I
device asserting data line (master/slave)
