Diodes Incorporated PI6ULS5V9515AZEEX Product Overview

The PI6ULS5V9515AZEEX is a high-performance, low-power I2C-bus/SMBus Repeater from Diodes Incorporated, designed to provide bidirectional buffering for both data (SDA) and clock (SCL) lines. This component enables the extension of an I2C-bus by buffering both the high and low sides of the bus, ensuring signal integrity even in environments with high capacitance or where multiple devices are connected.

Key Features

• Compatibility: The device supports standard mode, fast mode, and fast mode plus of I2C-bus and SMBus protocols, making it a versatile solution for a wide range of applications.
• Voltage Level Translation: It operates between 1.65V and 5.5V on both sides, which allows for voltage level translation between 1.8V, 2.5V, 3.3V, and 5V buses.
• Enhanced Signal Integrity: The PI6ULS5V9515AZEEX ensures strong signal drive and prevents data loss over extended cable lengths, allowing for reliable communication in complex systems.
• Hot-Swap Capability: The built-in hot-swap capability allows devices to be inserted into or removed from a live backplane without disrupting the bus.
• Low Standby Current: It features a low standby current which is crucial for power-sensitive applications.
• Robust ESD Protection: The device includes high ESD protection on the bus pins, safeguarding against electrostatic discharge events.
