Specialized

I2C multiplexerSMBus4-channelinterrupt logicVQFN-20400 kHz

PCA9544ARGYR is a 4-channel I2C/SMBus multiplexer for isolating same-address slave devices or dividing bus capacitance. It supports up to 400 kHz I2C operation in a compact 20-pin VQFN package.

Best for

  • Systems with identical I2C slaves sharing an address
  • I2C bus segmentation
  • Applications requiring per-channel interrupt indication

Avoid if

  • Multiple downstream I2C channels must be active simultaneously
  • I2C operation above 400 kHz is required

Check before use

  • External pull-up resistor values and pull-up voltages
  • VCC pass-gate voltage limitations for voltage translation
  • 20-pin RGY VQFN PCB footprint and exposed-pad implementation
