LTC4331 I2C Slave Device Extender Over Rugged Differential Link FEATURES DESCRIPTION n Up to 1MHz Serial Clock, Fast-mode Plus (Fm+) The LTC®4331 is a point-to-point SMBus compatible I2C n Selectable Link Baud Rates Extend I2C Up to slave device extender designed for operation in high noise 1200m industrial environments. Using a ±60V fault protected n Protected from Overvoltage Line Faults to ±60V differential transceiver, the LTC4331 can extend an I2C/ n ±40kV ESD on Link Pins SMBus bus, including SMBALERT and a control signal, n IEC Level 4 ESD ±8kV and EFT ±5kV on Link Pins over a single twisted pair differential link up to 1200m. n Extended Common Mode Range: ±15V With an extended common mode operating range the n Remote Interrupt/SMBALERT and Control Signals solution provides tolerance to large ground differences n Low EMI Mode between nodes. For EMI sensitive environments, a slew n SMBus 3.0 Compatible rate control pin reduces the EMI emitted from the dif- n I2C Idle Detection, and Stuck Bus Protection ferential link. n I2C Device Address Sharing In addition, the LTC4331 can act as an I2C to I2C bridge n 3V to 5.5V Supply Voltage allowing independent bus frequencies between the local n 1.62V to 5.5V Logic Supply and remote networks. The solution is completely trans- n 4mm × 5mm 20-Lead QFN package parent to the master requiring no additional code in most cases; however, a control interface is provided for addi- APPLICATIONS tional configuration and fault monitoring. n Industrial Control and Sensors A master controller fully supporting SCL clock-stretching n Lighting and Sound System Control is strongly recommended.
