4.1.2
J2, A Side SDA and SCL Selection
This connector allows for the decoupling of which device (U1 or U2) gets the SDA and SCL signals. The
default is that U1 and U2 have A side signals connected together, which is performed by the four jumpers
that are placed across J2-1 and J2-2, J2-3 and J2-4, J2-7 and J2-8, and J2-9 and J2-10.
4.1.3
JP3, V
CCB
Selection
This is the V
CCB
voltage selection header, which by default is set to 2.5 V with a jumper placed between
the J3-5 and J3-6 location. If no jumper is fitted, then V
CCB
is set to 3.3 V. A shorting jumper must be
installed on JP1 in either the high or low position. The TCA9802 is active high, and ON must not be left
floating. An external enable source can be applied to the EVM by removing the shunt and connecting a
signal to TP2. Refer to the TCA9802 data sheet (
) for proper ON and OFF voltage level settings.
A switching signal may also be used and connected at this point.
4.1.4
J4, V
CCB
Test Header
J4 allows for placing an external supply on J4-2 or for placing a meter in series to measure current coming
from the supply. J4 is loaded with a jumper by default.
4.1.5
J5 and J6, B Side Connections
These are probe connections to the B side SDA and SCL, which also go to the TMP102 temperature
sensor slave devices, U3 and U4. They can also be used to connect an external slave device.
4.1.6
SDA, SCL, and GND Test Points
These are additional large vias to facilitate connections to the B side SDA, SCL, and GND.
shows a variety of large vias that either allow for probing of signals or they can also be used to install test
points.

Operation
This EVM was specifically designed to translate and buffer the communication between an I
2
C master with
the TMP102 I
2
C temperature sensor. Temperature sensor U3 has an I
2
C address of 0x48 and temperature
sensor U4 has an I
2
C address of 0x49. Instructions on how to communicate with the TMP102 temperature
sensor are found in the TMP102 data sheet (
