1. General description
The PCA9617A is a CMOS integrated circuit that provides level shifting between low
voltage (0.8 V to 5.5 V) and higher voltage (2.2 V to 5.5 V) Fast-mode Plus (Fm+) I2C-bus
or SMBus applications. While retaining all the operating modes and features of the
I2C-bus system during the level shif ts, it also permit s extension of the I2C-bus by providing
bidirectional bu ffering for both the dat a (SDA) a nd the clock (SCL) lines, thus enabling two
buses of 540 pF at 1 MHz or up to 4000 pF at lower speeds. Using the PCA9617A
enables the system designer to isolate two halves of a bus for both voltage and
capacitance. The SDA and SCL pins are overvoltage tolerant and are high-impedance
when the PCA9617A is unpowered.
The 2.2 V to 5.5 V bus port B drivers have the static level offset, while the adjust able
voltage bus port A drivers eliminate the static offset voltage. This results in a LOW on the
port B translating into a nearly 0 V LOW on the port A which accommodates the smaller
voltage swings of lower voltage logic.
The static offset design of the port B PCA9617A I/O drivers prevents them from being
connected to the static or incremented offset of other bus buffers. Port A of two or more
PCA9617As can be connected together, however, to allow a star topography with port A
on the common bus, and po rt A can be connected directly to any othe r buffe r with static or
incremented offset outputs. Multiple PCA9617As can be connected in series, port A to
port B, with no build-up in offset voltage with only time of flight delays to consider.
The PCA9617A drive rs ar e no t en ab le d un les s VCC(A) is above 0.8 V and VCC(B) is above
2.2 V. The EN pin is referenced to VCC(B) and can also be used to turn the drivers on and
off under system control. Caution should be observed to only change the state of the
enable pin when the bus is idle.
The output pull-down on the port B internal buffer LOW is set for approximately 0.55 V,
while the input threshold o f the internal buf fer is set about 90 mV lower (0.45 V). When the
port B I/O is driven LOW internally, the LOW is not recognized as a LOW by the input.
This prevents a latching condition from occurring. The output pull-down on port A drives a
hard LOW and the input level is set at 0.35VCC(A) to accommodate the need for a lower
LOW level in systems where th e low voltage side su pply voltage is as low as 0.8 V.

6. Functional description
Refer to Figure 1 “Functional diagram of PCA9617A.
The PCA9617A enables I2C-bus or SMBus translation down to VCC(A) as low as 0.8 V
without degradation of system performance. The PCA9617A contains two bidirectional
open-drain buffers specifically designed to support up-translation/down-translation
between the low volt age (as low as 0.8 V) and a 2.5 V, 3.3 V or 5 V I2C-bus or SMBus. All
inputs and I/Os are overvoltage tolerant to 5.5 V even when the device is unpowered
(VCC(B) and/or VCC(A) = 0 V). The PCA9617A includes a power-up circuit that keeps the
output drivers turned off until VCC(B) is above 2.2 V and until after the internal reference
circuits have settled ~400 s, and the VCC(A) is above 0.8 V. VCC(B) and VCC(A) can be
applied in any sequence at power-up. After power-up and with the enable (EN) HIGH, a
LOW level on port A (below 0. 3VCC(A)) turns the correspondin g port B driver (either SDA
or SCL) on and drives port B down to about 0.55 V. When port A rises above 0.3VCC(A),
the port B pull-down driver is turned off and the external pull-up resistor pulls the pin
HIGH. When port B falls first and goes below 0.4 V, the port A driver is turned on and
port A pulls down to ~0 V. The port A pull-down is not enabled unless the port B voltage
goes below 0.4 V. If the port B low voltage goes below 0.4 V, the port B pull-down driver is
enabled and port B will only be able to rise to 0.55 V until port A rises above 0.3VCC(A),
then port B will continue to rise being pulled up by the external pull-up resistor. The VCC(A)
is only used to provide the 0.35VCC(A) reference to the port A in p ut comparato rs and fo r
the power good detect circuit. The PCA9617A includes a VCC(A) overvoltage disable that
turns the channel off if 0.4VCC(A) +0.8V>V
CC(B). The PCA9617A logic and all I/Os are
powered by the VCC(B) pin.
6.1 Enable
The EN pin is active HIGH with thresholds referenced to VCC(B) and an internal pull-up to
VCC(B) that maintains the device active unless the user selects to disable the repeater to
isolate a badly behave d slave on power-up until af ter the system power -up reset. It should
never change st ate dur ing an I2C- bus operatio n because disablin g during a bus operatio n
will hang the bus and enabling part way through a bus cycle could confuse the I2C-bus
parts being enabled. The enable does not switch the internal reference circuits so the
~400 s delay is only seen when VCC(B) comes up.
The enable pin sh ould o nly change state when th e globa l bus and the repe ater port a re in
an idle state to prevent system failures.
6.2 I2C-bus systems
As with the standard I2C-bus system, pull-u p resistors are required to provide the logic
HIGH levels on the buffered bus (standard open-collector configuration of the I2C-bus).
The size of these pull-up resistors depends on the system, but each side of the repeater
must have a pull-up resistor. This part designed to work with Standard mode, Fast-mode
and Fast-mode Plus I2C-bus devices in addition to SMBus devices. Standard mode and
Fast-mode I2C-bus devices only specify 3 mA output drive; this limits the termination
current to 3 mA in a generic I2C-bus system where Standard-mode devices, Fast-mode
devices and multiple masters are possible. When only Fast-mode Plus devices are used
with 30 mA at 5 V drive strength, then lower value pull-up resistors can be used. The

Level translating Fm+ I2C-bus repeater
B-side RC should not be less than 67.5 ns because shorter RCs increase the turnaround
bounce when the B-side transitions from being externally driven to pulled down by its
offset buffer.
Please see Application Note AN255, “I2C/SMBus Repeaters, Hubs and Expanders” for
additional information on sizing resistors and precautions when using more than one
PCA9617A in a system or using the PCA9617A in conjunction with other bus buffers.
7. Application design-in information
A typical application is shown in Figure 4. In this example, the system master is running
on a 3.3 V I2C -bus while the slave is connec t ed to a 1.2 V bu s. Bo th bu se s ru n at
1000 kHz. Master devices can be placed on either bus.
The PCA9617A is 5 V tolerant, so it does not require any additional circuitry to translate
between 0.8 V to 5.5 V bus voltages and 2.2 V to 5.5 V bus voltages.
When port A of the PCA9617A is pulled LOW by a driver on the I2C-bus, a comparator
detects the falling edge when it goes below 0.3VCC(A) and causes the int er na l driv er on
port B to turn on, causing port B to pull down to about 0.5 V. When port B of the
PCA9617A falls, first a CMOS hysteresis type input detects the falling edge and causes
the internal driver on port A to turn on and pull the port A pin down to ground. In order to
illustrate what would be seen in a typical application, refer to Figure 8 and Figure 9. If the
bus master in Figure 4 were to write to the slave through the PCA9617A, waveforms
shown in Figure 8 would be observed on the A bus. This looks like a normal I2C-bus
transmission except that the HIGH level may be as low as 0.8 V, and the turn on and turn
off of the acknowledge signals are slightly delayed.
The internal comparator requires that 0.4 VCC(A) be less than or equal to VCC(B) 0.8 V
for the device to operate. Since A port is 5 V tolerant, the VCC(A) can be lowered to support
device spectrum while still supporting 5 V signals on the A port.
On the B bus side of the PCA9617A, the clock and dat a lines wou ld have a p ositive of fse t
from ground equal to the V OL of the PCA9617A. After the eigh th clock pulse, the dat a line
will be pulled to the VOL of the slave device which is very close to ground in this example.
At the end of the acknowledge, the level rises only to the LOW level set by the driver in the
PCA9617A for a short de lay while th e A bus side rises above 0. 3VCC(A) then it continues

HIGH. It is import ant to note that any arbitrat ion or clock stretch ing event s require th at the
LOW level on the B bus side at the input of the PCA9617A (VIL) be at or below 0.4 V to be
recognized by the PCA9617A and then transmitted to the A bus side.
Multiple PCA9617A port A sides can be connected in a star configuration (Figure 5),
allowing all nodes to communicate with each other.
Multiple PCA9617As can be connected in series (Figure 6) as long as port A is connected
to port B. I2C-bus slave devices can be connected to any of th e bus segments. The
number of devices that can be connected in series is limited by repeater
delay/time-of-flight considerations on the maximum bus speed requirements.

13. 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”.
13.1 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.
13.2 Wave and reflow soldering
W ave soldering is a joinin g technology in which the joint s 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 circu it 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
13.3 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

Level translating Fm+ I2C-bus repeater
13.4 Reflow soldering
Key characteristics in reflow soldering are:
Lead-free ve rsus SnPb soldering; note th at a lead-free reflow process usua lly leads to
higher minimum peak temperatures (see Figure 20) 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 enoug h for the solder to make reliable solder joint s (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 7 and 8
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 20.
