1. General description
The PCA9511A is a hot swappable I2C-bus and SMBus buffer that allows I/O card
insertion into a live backplane without corrupting the data and clock buses. Control
circuitry prevents the backplane from being connected to the card until a stop command or
bus idle occurs on the backplane without bus contention on the card. When the
connection is made, the PCA9511A provides bidirectional buffering, keeping the
backplane and card capacitances isolated.
The PCA9511A rise time accelerator circuitry allows the use of weaker DC pull-up
currents while still meeting rise time requirements. The PCA9511A incorporates a digital
ENABLE input pin, which enables the device when asserted HIGH and forces the device
into a low current mode when asserted LOW, and an open-drain READY output pin, which
indicates that the backplane and card sides are connected together (HIGH) or not (LOW).
During insertion, the PCA9511A SDA and SCL lines are precharged to 1 V to minimize
the current required to charge the parasitic capacitance of the chip.

Refer to Figure 1 “Block diagram of PCA9511A”.
8.1 Start-up
An undervoltage/initialization circuit holds the parts in a disconnected state which
presents high-impedance to all SDA and SCL pins during power-up. A LOW on the
ENABLE pin also forces the parts into the low current disconnected state when the ICC is
essentially zero. As the power supply is brought up and the ENABLE is HIGH or the part is
powered and the ENABLE is taken from LOW to HIGH it enters an initialization state
where the internal references are stabilized and the precharge circuit is enabled. At the
end of the initialization state the ‘Stop Bit And Bus Idle’ detect circuit is enabled. With the
ENABLE pin HIGH long enough to complete the initialization state (ten) and remaining
HIGH when all the SDA and SCL pins have been HIGH for the bus idle time or when all
pins are HIGH and a STOP condition is seen on the SDAIN and SCLIN pins, SDAIN is
connected to SDAOUT and SCLIN is connected to SCLOUT. The 1 V precharge circuitry

NXP Semiconductors PCA9511A
Hot swappable I2C-bus and SMBus bus buffer
is activated during the initialization and is deactivated when the connection is made. The
precharge circuitry pulls up the SDA and SCL pins to 1 V through individual 100 k
nominal resistors. This precharges the pins to 1 V to minimize the worst case
disturbances that result from inserting a card into the backplane where the backplane and
the card are at opposite logic levels.
8.2 Connect circuitry
Once the connection circuitry is activated, the behavior of SDAIN and SDAOUT as well as
SCLIN and SCLOUT become identical with each acting as a bidirectional buffer that
isolates the input capacitance from the output bus capacitance while communicating the
logic levels. A LOW forced on either SDAIN or SDAOUT will cause the other pin to be
driven to a LOW by the part. The same is also true for the SCL pins. Noise between
0.7VCC and VCC is generally ignored because a falling edge is only recognized when it
falls below 0.7VCC with a slew rate of at least 1.25 V/µs. When a falling edge is seen on
one pin, the other pin in the pair turns on a pull-down driver that is referenced to a small
voltage above the falling pin. The driver will pull the pin down at a slew rate determined by
the driver and the load initially, because it does not start until the first falling pin is below
0.7VCC. The first falling pin may have a fast or slow slew rate, if it is faster than the pull
down slew rate then the initial pull-down rate will continue. If the first falling pin has a slow
slew rate then the second pin will be pulled down at its initial slew rate only until it is just
above the first pin voltage then they will both continue down at the slew rate of the first.
Once both sides are LOW they will remain LOW until all the external drivers have stopped
driving LOWs. If both sides are being driven LOW to the same value for instance, 10 mV
by external drivers, which is the case for clock stretching and is typically the case for
acknowledge, and one side external driver stops driving that pin will rise until the internal
driver pulls it down to the offset voltage. When the last external driver stops driving a
LOW, that pin will rise up and settle out just above the other pin as both rise together with
a slew rate determined by the internal slew rate control and the RC time constant. As long
as the slew rate is at least 1.25 V/µs, when the pin voltage exceeds 0.6 V for the
PCA9511A, the rise time accelerator’s circuits are turned on and the pull-down driver is
turned off.
8.3 Maximum number of devices in series
Each buffer adds about 0.1 V dynamic level offset at 25 °C with the offset larger at higher
temperatures. Maximum offset (Voffset) is 0.150 V with a 10 k pull-up resistor. The LOW
level at the signal origination end (master) is dependent upon the load and the only
specification point is that the I2C-bus specification of 3 mA will produce VOL < 0.4 V,
although if lightly loaded the VOL may be ~0.1 V. Assuming VOL = 0.1 V and Voffset = 0.1 V,
the level after four buffers would be 0.5 V, which is only about 0.1 V below the threshold of
the rising edge accelerator (about 0.6 V). With great care a system with four buffers may
work, but as the VOL moves up from 0.1 V, noise or bounces on the line will result in firing
the rising edge accelerator thus introducing false clock edges. Generally it is
recommended to limit the number of buffers in series to two, and to keep the load light to
minimize the offset.
The PCA9510A (rise time accelerator is permanently disabled) and the PCA9512A (rise
time accelerator can be turned off) are a little different with the rise time accelerator turned
off because the rise time accelerator will not pull the node up, but the same logic that turns

NXP Semiconductors PCA9511A
Hot swappable I2C-bus and SMBus bus buffer
on the accelerator turns the pull-down off. If the VIL is above ~0.6 V and a rising edge is
detected, the pull-down will turn off and will not turn back on until a falling edge is
detected.
Consider a system with three buffers connected to a common node and communication
between the Master and Slave B that are connected at either end of buffer A and buffer B
in series as shown in Figure 4. Consider if the VOL at the input of buffer A is 0.3 V and the
VOL of Slave B (when acknowledging) is 0.4 V with the direction changing from Master to
Slave B and then from Slave B to Master. Before the direction change you would observe
VIL at the input of buffer A of 0.3 V and its output, the common node, is ~0.4 V. The output
of buffer B and buffer C would be ~0.5 V, but Slave B is driving 0.4 V, so the voltage at
Slave B is 0.4 V. The output of buffer C is ~0.5 V. When the Master pull-down turns off, the
input of buffer A rises and so does its output, the common node, because it is the only part
driving the node. The common node will rise to 0.5 V before buffer B’s output turns on, if
the pull-up is strong the node may bounce. If the bounce goes above the threshold for the
rising edge accelerator ~0.6 V the accelerators on both buffer A and buffer C will fire
contending with the output of buffer B. The node on the input of buffer A will go HIGH as
will the input node of buffer C. After the common node voltage is stable for a while the
rising edge accelerators will turn off and the common node will return to ~0.5 V because
the buffer B is still on. The voltage at both the Master and Slave C nodes would then fall to
~0.6 V until Slave B turned off. This would not cause a failure on the data line as long as
the return to 0.5 V on the common node (~0.6 V at the Master and Slave C) occurred
before the data setup time. If this were the SCL line, the parts on buffer A and buffer C
would see a false clock rather than a stretched clock, which would cause a system error.
8.4 Propagation delays
The delay for a rising edge is determined by the combined pull-up current from the bus
resistors and the rise time accelerator current source and the effective capacitance on the
lines. If the pull-up currents are the same, any difference in rise time is directly
proportional to the difference in capacitance between the two sides. The tPLH may be
negative if the output capacitance is less than the input capacitance and would be positive
if the output capacitance is larger than the input capacitance, when the currents are the
same.
The tPHL can never be negative because the output does not start to fall until the input is
below 0.7VCC, and the output turn on has a non-zero delay, and the output has a limited
maximum slew rate, and even if the input slew rate is slow enough that the output catches
up it will still lag the falling voltage of the input by the offset voltage. The maximum tPHL
occurs when the input is driven LOW with zero delay and the output is still limited by its

NXP Semiconductors PCA9511A
Hot swappable I2C-bus and SMBus bus buffer
turn-on delay and the falling edge slew rate. The output falling edge slew rate is a function
of the internal maximum slew rate which is a function of temperature, VCC and process, as
well as the load current and the load capacitance.
8.5 Rise time accelerators
During positive bus transitions a 2 mA current source is switched on to quickly slew the
SDA and SCL lines HIGH once the input level of 0.6 V for the PCA9511A is exceeded.
The rising edge rate should be at least 1.25 V/µs to guarantee turn on of the accelerators.
The built-in V/∆t rise time accelerators on all SDA and SCL lines requires the bus pull-up
voltage and supply voltage (VCC) to be the same.
8.6 READY digital output
This pin provides a digital flag which is LOW when either ENABLE is LOW or the start-up
sequence described earlier in this section has not been completed. READY goes HIGH
when ENABLE is HIGH and start-up is complete. The pin is driven by an open-drain
pull-down capable of sinking 3 mA while holding 0.4 V on the pin. Connect a resistor of
10 k to VCC to provide the pull-up.
8.7 ENABLE low current disable
Grounding the ENABLE pin disconnects the backplane side from the card side, disables
the rise time accelerators, drives READY LOW, disables the bus precharge circuitry, and
puts the part in a low current state. When the pin voltage is driven all the way to VCC, the
part waits for data transactions on both the backplane and card sides to be complete
before reconnecting the two sides.
8.8 Resistor pull-up value selection
The system pull-up resistors must be strong enough to provide a positive slew rate of
1.25 V/µs on the SDA and SCL pins, in order to activate the boost pull-up currents during
rising edges. Choose maximum resistor value using the formula given in Equation 1:
(1)
where R is the pull-up resistor value in , VCC(min) is the minimum VCC voltage in volts,
and C is the equivalent bus capacitance in picofarads (pF).
In addition, regardless of the bus capacitance, always choose R 65.7 kfor VCC = 5.5 V
maximum, R 45 kfor VCC = 3.6 V maximum. The start-up circuitry requires logic HIGH
voltages on SDAOUT and SCLOUT to connect the backplane to the card, and these
pull-up values are needed to overcome the precharge voltage. See the curves in Figure 5
and Figure 6 for guidance in resistor pull-up selection.

8.9 Hot swapping and capacitance buffering application
Figure 7 through Figure 10 illustrate the usage of the PCA9511A in applications that take
advantage of both its hot swapping and capacitance buffering features. In all of these
applications, note that if the I/O cards were plugged directly into the backplane, all of the
backplane and card capacitances would add directly together, making rise time and
fall time requirements difficult to meet. Placing a bus buffer on the edge of each card,
however, isolates the card capacitance from the backplane. For a given I/O card, the
PCA9511A drives the capacitance of everything on the card and the backplane must drive
only the capacitance of the bus buffer, which is less than 10 pF, the connector, trace, and
all additional cards on the backplane.
See
Application Note AN10160, ‘Hot Swap Bus Buffer’
for more information on
applications and technical assistance.
Remark: The PCA9511A can be used in any combination depending on the number of rise time accelerators that are needed
by the system. Normally only one PCA9511A would be required per bus.

14. Soldering of SMD packages
This text provides a very brief insight into a complex technology. A more in-depth account
of soldering ICs can be found in Application Note
AN10365 “Surface mount reflow
soldering description”
.
14.1 Introduction to soldering
Soldering is one of the most common methods through which packages are attached to
Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs), to form electrical circuits. The soldered joint provides both
the mechanical and the electrical connection. There is no single soldering method that is
ideal for all IC packages. Wave soldering is often preferred when through-hole and
Surface Mount Devices (SMDs) are mixed on one printed wiring board; however, it is not
suitable for fine pitch SMDs. Reflow soldering is ideal for the small pitches and high
densities that come with increased miniaturization.
14.2 Wave and reflow soldering
Wave soldering is a joining technology in which the joints are made by solder coming from
a standing wave of liquid solder. The wave soldering process is suitable for the following:
Through-hole components
Leaded or leadless SMDs, which are glued to the surface of the printed circuit board
Not all SMDs can be wave soldered. Packages with solder balls, and some leadless
packages which have solder lands underneath the body, cannot be wave soldered. Also,
leaded SMDs with leads having a pitch smaller than ~0.6 mm cannot be wave soldered,
due to an increased probability of bridging.
The reflow soldering process involves applying solder paste to a board, followed by
component placement and exposure to a temperature profile. Leaded packages,
packages with solder balls, and leadless packages are all reflow solderable.
Key characteristics in both wave and reflow soldering are:
Board specifications, including the board finish, solder masks and vias
Package footprints, including solder thieves and orientation
The moisture sensitivity level of the packages
Package placement
Inspection and repair
Lead-free soldering versus SnPb soldering
14.3 Wave soldering
Key characteristics in wave soldering are:
Process issues, such as application of adhesive and flux, clinching of leads, board
transport, the solder wave parameters, and the time during which components are
exposed to the wave
Solder bath specifications, including temperature and impurities

NXP Semiconductors PCA9511A
Hot swappable I2C-bus and SMBus bus buffer
14.4 Reflow soldering
Key characteristics in reflow soldering are:
Lead-free versus SnPb soldering; note that a lead-free reflow process usually leads to
higher minimum peak temperatures (see Figure 22) than a SnPb process, thus
reducing the process window
Solder paste printing issues including smearing, release, and adjusting the process
window for a mix of large and small components on one board
Reflow temperature profile; this profile includes preheat, reflow (in which the board is
heated to the peak temperature) and cooling down. It is imperative that the peak
temperature is high enough for the solder to make reliable solder joints (a solder paste
characteristic). In addition, the peak temperature must be low enough that the
packages and/or boards are not damaged. The peak temperature of the package
depends on package thickness and volume and is classified in accordance with
Table 6 and 7
Moisture sensitivity precautions, as indicated on the packing, must be respected at all
times.
Studies have shown that small packages reach higher temperatures during reflow
soldering, see Figure 22.
