PCA9512A; PCA9512B
Level shifting hot swappable I2C-bus and SMBus bus buffer
8.11 Additional system compromises
• Additional parts
• Additional assembly cost
• Reduced system reliability due to complexity
• Reduced logic level noise margin (immunity)
• Sensitivity to ground offsets between sub-systems (cable links, for example)
• Increased loading on the low voltage side (must carry the high voltage side
sink current)
• ESD robustness
