TCA9548ARGER datasheet by Texas Instruments

TCA9548ARGER Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum frequency of the I2C bus that the TCA9548A can support?
  The TCA9548A can support I2C bus frequencies up to 400 kHz.
• Can the TCA9548A be used to multiplex other types of buses besides I2C?
  No, the TCA9548A is specifically designed for I2C bus multiplexing and is not compatible with other bus types.
• How do I configure the TCA9548A to enable or disable individual channels?
  The TCA9548A has a control register that allows you to enable or disable individual channels through I2C commands. See the datasheet for specific register addresses and bit assignments.
• What is the maximum number of TCA9548A devices that can be cascaded?
  There is no theoretical limit to the number of TCA9548A devices that can be cascaded, but the maximum number of devices that can be addressed on the I2C bus is 127.
• How do I handle bus contention when multiple devices are connected to the same I2C bus?
  The TCA9548A has built-in bus contention resolution mechanisms, including arbitration and clock stretching. See the datasheet for more information on how to handle bus contention.
