LTC1694 SMBus/I2C Accelerator* UFEATURESDESCRIPTIO ■ Improves SMBus Rise Time Transition The LT C®1694 is a dual SMBus active pull-up designed to ■ Ensures Data Integrity with Multiple Devices enhance data transmission speed and reliability under all on the SMBus specified SMBus loading conditions. The LTC1694 is also ■ Improves Low State Noise Margin compatible with the Philips I2CTM Bus. ■ Auto Detect Low Power Standby Mode The LTC1694 allows multiple device connections or a ■ Wide Supply Voltage Range: 2.7V to 6V longer, more capacitive interconnect, without compro- ■ Low Profile (1mm) SOT-23 (ThinSOTTM) Package mising slew rates or bus performance, by using two U bilevel hysteretic current source pull-ups. APPLICATIO S During positive bus transitions, the LTC1694 current ■ Notebook and Palmtop Computers sources provide 2.2mA to quickly slew the SMBus line. ■ Portable Instruments During negative transitions or steady DC levels, the cur- ■ Battery Chargers rent sources decrease to 275µA to improve negative slew ■ Industrial Control Application rate and improve low state noise margins. An auto detect ■ TV/Video Products standby mode reduces supply current if both SCL and ■ ACPI SMBus Interface SDA are high. The LTC1694 is available in a 5-pin SOT-23 package, requiring virtually the same space as two surface mount resistors. , LTC and LT are registered trademarks of Linear Technology Corporation.
