NXP Semiconductor PCA9848 8-channel Translating Bus Switch
NXP Semiconductor PCA9848 8-channel translating bus switch features an ultra-low voltage, octal bi-directional translating switch controlled with the I²C bus. The SCL/SDA upstream pair fans out to eight downstream pairs/channels. Any or all SCx/SDx channels can be selected, determined by the programmable control register. This allows multiple devices with the same I²C bus address to reside on the same bus. The switch device can also separate a heavily loaded I²C bus into segments which eliminates the need for a bus buffer.
