I2C switchSMBus switch4-channelI2C address conflictTSSOP-20interrupt handling

PCA9545APWR is a 4-channel I2C/SMBus switch for isolating downstream buses, resolving repeated slave-address conflicts, and supporting per-channel interrupt reporting.

Best for

  • Separating I2C devices with duplicate slave addresses
  • Segmenting I2C bus capacitance
  • Systems requiring per-channel interrupt indication

Avoid if

  • I2C operation above 400 kHz is required
  • A single unsegmented bus is sufficient

Check before use

  • Verify pull-up resistor values for every enabled bus segment
  • Keep total enabled I2C bus capacitance within the applicable limit
  • Ensure RESET is pulled up to VCC and is not driven above VCC
