PCA9516APW,118 datasheet by NXP Semiconductors

PCA9516APW,118 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum operating frequency of the PCA9516APW,118?
  The maximum operating frequency of the PCA9516APW,118 is 400 kHz.
• Can I use the PCA9516APW,118 as a level translator for I2C buses with different voltage levels?
  Yes, the PCA9516APW,118 can be used as a level translator for I2C buses with different voltage levels, allowing for voltage translation between 0.9 V to 5.5 V.
• How do I ensure that the PCA9516APW,118 operates correctly in a noisy environment?
  To ensure correct operation in a noisy environment, it is recommended to use a bypass capacitor (e.g., 100 nF) between the VCC pin and GND, and to minimize the length of the I2C bus lines.
• What is the maximum capacitance of the I2C bus that the PCA9516APW,118 can drive?
  The PCA9516APW,118 can drive I2C bus capacitances up to 400 pF.
• Can I use the PCA9516APW,118 in a multi-master I2C bus configuration?
  Yes, the PCA9516APW,118 can be used in a multi-master I2C bus configuration, but it is recommended to use an external circuit to prevent bus contention.
