Product data sheet
1. General description
The PCA9646 is a monolithic CMOS integrated circuit for 2-wire bus buffering and
switching in applications including I2C-bus, SMBus, PMBus, and other systems based on
similar principles.
Each of the four outputs may be independently enabled in any combination as determined
by the contents of the programmable control register. Each I/O is impedance isolated from
all others, thus allowing a total of five branches of 2-wire bus with the maximum specified
load (e.g., 5  400 pF for Fm+ I2C-bus at 1 MHz, or 5  4 nF at lower frequencies)
(Ref. 1). More than one PCA9646 may be used in series, providing a substantial fan-out
capability.
The PCA9646 includes a unidirectional buffer for the clock signal, and a bidirectional
buffer for the data signal. The direction of the clock signal may also be set by the contents
of the programmable control register. Clock stretching and timing must always be under
control of the master device.
The PCA9646 has excellent application to 2-wire bus address expansion and increasing
of maximum load capacitance. Very large LED displays are a perfect example.

7. Functional description
Refer to Figure 1 “Simplified block diagram of PCA9646”.
7.1 VDD, VSS — DC supply pins
The power supply voltage for the PCA9646 may be any voltage in the range 2.7 V to
5.5 V. The IC supply must be common with the supply for the bus. Hysteresis on the ports
are a percentage of the IC’s power supply, hence noise margin considerations should be
taken into account when selecting an operating voltage.
7.2 SCL — clock signal input
The clock signal buffer is unidirectional, with this pin acting as the default input. However,
the clock signal direction may be reversed by setting the MSB of the Control register
HIGH. In normal I2C-bus operations the master device generates a unidirectional clock
signal to the slave. For lowest cost the PCA9646 combines unidirectional buffering of the
clock signal with a bidirectional buffer for the data signal. Clock stretching is therefore not
supported and slave devices that may require clock stretching must be accommodated by
the master adopting an appropriate clocking when communicating with them.
The buffer includes hysteresis to ensure clean switching signals are output, especially
with slow rise times on high capacitively loaded buses.
7.3 SC0, SC1, SC2, SC3 — clock signal outputs
The clock signal from SCL is buffered through four independent buffers, and the signal is
presented at the four SC0 to SC3 ports. Ports are open-drain type and require external
pull-up resistors.
When the MSB of the control register is set HIGH, the port direction is reversed. The
ANDed result of the selected SC0 to SC3 lines is then used to drive the open-drain output
of the SCL pin.
7.4 SDA, SD0, SD1, SD2, SD3 — data signal inputs/outputs
The data signal buffers are bidirectional. The port (SDA, or any one of SD0 to SD3) which
first falls LOW, will decide the direction of this buffer and ‘lock out’ signals coming from the
opposite side. As the ‘input’ signal continues to fall, it will then drive the open-drain of the
‘output’ side LOW. Again, hysteresis is applied to the buffer to minimize the effects of
noise. Ports are open-drain type and require external pull-up resistors.
At some points during the communication, the data direction will reverse—for example,
when the slave transmits an acknowledge (ACK) or responds with its register contents.
During these times, the controlling ‘input’ side will have to rise to Vunlock before it releases
the ‘lock’, which then allows the ‘output’ side to gain control, and pull (what was) the ‘input’
side LOW again. This will cause a ‘pulse’ on the ‘input’ side, which can be quite long
duration in high capacitance buses. However, this pulse will not interfere with the actual
data transmission, as it should not occur during times of clock line transition (during
normal I2C-bus and SMBus protocols), and thus data signal set-up time requirements are
still met.

7.5 RESET — reset IC to default state
The active LOW RESET input is used to disable the buffer, and reset it to its default state.
The IC should only be disabled when the bus is idle to avoid truncation of commands
which may confuse other devices on the bus.
The RESET signal will clear the contents of the Control register, which has the effect of
disabling all output lines SC[0:3] and SD[0:3]. It is the nature of the I2C-bus protocol that
devices may become ‘stuck’. To help in the clearing of this condition, the PCA9646 can be
reset, and each port brought on-line successively to find the component holding the bus
LOW.
7.6 Power-On Reset (POR)
During power-on, the PCA9646 is internally held in the reset condition for a maximum of
trst = 500 ns. The default condition after reset is for the Control register to be erased
(all zeros), resulting in all output channels being disabled.
7.7 A0, A1, A2 — address lines
The slave address of the PCA9646 is shown in Figure 3. The address pins (A2, A1, A0)
must be driven to a HIGH or LOW level—they are not internally pulled to a default state.

The read/write bit must be set LOW to enable a write to the Control register, or HIGH to

channels (SCn/SDn pairs) can be enabled independently, and the direction of the clock
signal can be reversed.

Buffered 4-channel 2-wire bus switch
A LOW or ‘zero’ bit (B[3:0]) indicates that the respective channel (SC[3:0], SD[3:0]) is
disabled. The default reset condition of the register is all zeros, all channels disabled,
forward direction. A HIGH or ‘one’ bit indicates the respective channel is enabled.
Example: B3 = 1, B2 = 0, B1 = 1, B0 = 0 means channel 3 (SC3/SD3) and channel 1
(SC1/SD1) are enabled, and channel 2 (SC2/SD2) and channel 0 (SC0/SD0) are
disabled.
As each channel is individually buffered, the loads on each are isolated, and therefore
there is no special requirement to keep the sum of the collective capacitances below the
maximum bus capacitance. Instead, each line may have up to the maximum bus
capacitance and be enabled or disabled without affecting the performance of the other
channels.
The Most Significant Bit (MSB) B7 is used to set the direction of the SCL (clock) signal.
The default state is LOW (zero). In this state, the SCL port will act as the input, and the IC
will supply a buffered signal to any of the four output channels (SC0 to SC3) which are
enabled. When B7 is set HIGH (one), the clock signal direction is reversed. The ports
SC0 to SC3 act as inputs, the ANDed combination of the selected signals is buffered and
output on the SCL pin.
The PCA9646 is always addressable from the SCL/SDA side, regardless of the state of
B7. Any device which can communicate data to the SCL/SDA pins, either by being directly
attached to those pins or by transmitting through the PCA9646 (when B7 = 1), may
address the device and change the control register’s contents. The Control register is only
updated upon receipt of the STOP condition.

11. Application information
Figure 12 shows a typical data transfer through the PCA9646. The PCA9646 has
excellent application to extending loads and expanding the address space of slave
devices. Rise times are determined simply by the side of the buffer with the slowest RC
time constant.

Fig 12. Typical communication sequence through the PCA9646
Figure 13 shows a typical application for the PCA9646. Each channel can support up to
the maximum permissible capacitance load, thus the maximum loading of the system can
be 5 times that which could be achieved without buffering.
The channel enable function can be used to interface buses of different operating
frequencies. When certain bus sections are enabled, the system frequency may be limited
by a bus section having a slave device specified only to 100 kHz. When that bus section is
disabled, the slow slave is isolated and the remaining bus can be run at 400 kHz. The
timing performance and current sinking capability will allow the PCA9646 to run in excess
of the 1 MHz maximum limit of the I2C-bus Fast-mode Plus (Fm+), or to run a huge 4 nF
load at 100 kHz.
Figure 14 shows the PCA9646 used as a line driver. Four such lines (only one shown) can
be run from the same device. The receiving end may then again be used as a 4-way bus
switch, radiating out into another four lines.
Using the address pins, this entire structure may be repeated. Thus a total of eight
PCA9646 ‘line drivers’ may be connected to a single bus master (U1), allowing for
32 (8  4) long distance bus pairs to be driven from the one I2C-bus port.

Figure 15 shows how PCA9646 can be used to combine or extend existing long cable
systems using P82B715 I2C-bus extenders when they have reached their maximum
capacitance limit. P82B715 alone provides a ‘10 impedance transformation’ (Ref. 2) but
no isolation of the loadings on either side. P82B715 systems have a finite capacitance
limit and its system calculations can be relatively complex. The buffering action of
PCA9646 simplifies calculations and allows the isolated bus rise time to meet the
Fast-mode requirement even when that is not possible on the long cable section.
Of course it is possible to create a much larger system by connecting existing long
P82B715 cable systems to each of the four channels and driving all of them from one
isolated Master.

The PCA9646 may also be driven in series. Figure 16 shows this configuration. In this
scenario, each of the four outputs of the first device (U2) has six more PCA9646’s
connected to it. Each of those six devices has four outputs, thus giving
4  7  4 = 112 outputs. If the RESET pin on U2 was also driven from the master, it would
be possible to reproduce this entire structure multiple times, giving a truly massive
address space capability. Such a configuration may be applied to situations such as
display drivers.

13. Handling information
CAUTION
This device is sensitive to ElectroStatic Discharge (ESD). Observe precautions for handling
electrostatic sensitive devices.
Such precautions are described in the ANSI/ESD S20.20, IEC/ST 61340-5, JESD625-A or
equivalent standards.
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:

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
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 18) 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 18.
