DESCRIPTION
The PCA9540 is a 1-of-2 bi-directional translating multiplexer,
controlled via the I2C bus. The SCL/SDA upstream pair fans out to
two SCx/SDx downstream pairs, or channels. Only one SCx/SDx
channel is selected at a time, determined by the contents of the
programmable control register.
A power-on reset function puts the registers in their default state and
initializes the I2C state machine with no channels selected.
The pass gates of the multiplexer are constructed such that the VDD
pin can be used to limit the maximum high voltage which will be
passed by the PCA9540. This allows the use of different bus
voltages on each SCx/SDx pair, so that 1.8 V, 2.5, or 3.3 V parts can
communicate with 5 V parts without any additional protection.
External pull-up resistors can pull the bus up to the desired voltage
level for this channel. All I/O pins are 5 V tolerant.
