The NXP P82B96TD,112 is a versatile, high-performance I²C bus extender designed to provide bidirectional buffering for both the data (SDA) and the clock (SCL) lines of the I²C-bus, allowing for the extension of the I²C-bus size in terms of both distance and number of devices that can be connected. This IC is an essential component for applications requiring robust and reliable communication over greater distances or needing to interface a high number of I²C devices.

Key Features

• Extended Bus Operating Range: The P82B96TD,112 allows the I²C bus to be extended over long cables by increasing the drive capability of the I²C bus while keeping the data integrity intact.
• Increased Device Connection: With this bus extender, more devices can be connected to the bus than what is possible with the standard I²C bus specification.
• Compatibility: It is fully compatible with the I²C-bus standard and adds the ability to use different bus capacitance on the same bus. This means that devices with different voltage and current capabilities can coexist on the same bus.
• Low Standby Current: The device features a low standby current, making it suitable for power-sensitive applications.
• Noise Immunity: The P82B96TD,112 incorporates noise filtering and buffering to enhance noise immunity, making it ideal for electrically noisy environments.
