I2C Bus, Topology, and Switches
[
, callouts 22, 23]
The VCU118 evaluation board implements a 2-to-1 I
2
C bus arrangement. The FPGA U1 HP
bank 64 (VCCO VCC1V8_FPGA) and system controller are wired to the same
IIC_MAIN_SDA/SCL I²C bus. The common I²C bus is then routed to a pair of 1-to-8 channel
TI TCA9548 bus switches U28 (address 0x74) and U80 (address 0x75). The bus switches can
operate at speeds up to 400 kHz. The VCU118 evaluation board I²C bus topology overview
is shown in
