4.2.3 I
2
C bus switch/repeater
2
C-bus switch/repeater (U11) section. From the Arduino
port, the I
2
C (SDA, SCL) lines go to the DUT through the level translator PCA9617A (U7).
The level shifter U7 assures the separation between the logic level of the Arduino port
(3.3 V) and the selected logic level of the PCA9846 (VCC_LDOOUT1). The I
2
C interface
of U11 is pin 14 for SCL, and pin 15 for SDA. The I
2
C-bus pullup resistors are R56 and
R57. The pin 3 of the DUT is RESET input (active low), and is driven by the onboard
switch SW1. SW1 resets the internal state machine of PCA9846, meaning all channels
are deselected. The address pins A0 and A1 are controlled by the jumper headers
J12 and J13. Refer to PCA9846 data sheet
for more details about the hardware
address selection. The default selected address is “00”, which corresponds to 0xE2h
for the 8-bit I
2
C-bus address. The VDD1 pin (logic level power supply) is connected to
VCC_LDOOUT1 (the programmable voltage regulator), and the VDD2 pin (core logic
power supply) is connected to VCC_1V8 voltage rail, provided by the LDO regulator U15.
