TCA9517ADGKR datasheet by Texas Instruments

TCA9517ADGKR Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum frequency of the I2C bus that the TCA9517 can support?
  The TCA9517 can support I2C bus frequencies up to 400 kHz.
• Can the TCA9517 be used in a multi-master I2C bus configuration?
  Yes, the TCA9517 can be used in a multi-master I2C bus configuration, but it requires external circuitry to prevent bus contention.
• How does the TCA9517 handle clock stretching?
  The TCA9517 does not support clock stretching, so it is not suitable for use with I2C devices that require clock stretching.
• What is the maximum capacitance of the I2C bus that the TCA9517 can drive?
  The TCA9517 can drive I2C buses with capacitances up to 400 pF.
• Can the TCA9517 be used to extend the distance of an I2C bus?
  Yes, the TCA9517 can be used to extend the distance of an I2C bus by repeating the I2C signals and providing a higher drive current.
