PCA9544A
4-channel I2C-bus multiplexer with interrupt logic
Rev. 5 — 23 April 2014
Product data sheet
1. General description
The PCA9544A is a 1-of-4 bidirectional translating multiplexer, controlled via the I2C-bus.
The SCL/SDA upstream pair fans out to four SCx/SDx downstream pairs, or channels.
Only one SCx/SDx channel is selected at a time, determined by the contents of the
programmable control register. Four interrupt inputs, INT0 to INT3, one for each of the
SCx/SDx downstream pairs, are provided. One interrupt output, INT, which acts as an
AND of the four interrupt inputs, is provided.
A power-on reset function puts the registers in their default state and initializes the I2C-bus
state machine with no channels selected.
The pass gates of the multiplexer are constructed such that the VDD pin can be used to
limit the maximum high voltage which is passed by the PCA9544A. This allows the use of
different bus voltages on each SCx/SDx pair, so that 1.8 V, 2.5 V or 3.3 V parts can
communicate with 5 V parts without any additional protection. External pull-up resistors
pull the bus up to the desired voltage level for each channel. All I/O pins are 5 V tolerant.

Pin description
HVQFN20 package supply ground is connected to both VSS pin and exposed center pad. VSS pin must be
connected to supply ground for proper device operation. For enhanced thermal, electrical, and board level
performance, the exposed pad must be soldered to the board using a corresponding thermal pad on the
board and for proper heat conduction through the board, thermal vias must be incorporated in the PCB in
the thermal pad region.

6. Functional description
Refer to Figure 1 “Block diagram”.
6.1 Device addressing
Following a START condition the bus master must output the address of the slave it is
accessing. The address of the PCA9544A is shown in Figure 5. To conserve power, no
internal pull-up resistors are incorporated on the hardware selectable address pins and
they must be pulled HIGH or LOW.

Slave address
The last bit of the slave address defines the operation to be performed. When set to
logic 1 a read is selected, while a logic 0 selects a write operation.
6.2 Control register
Following the successful acknowledgement of the slave address, the bus master sends a
byte to the PCA9544A which is stored in the Control register. If the PCA9544A receives
multiple bytes, it saves the last byte received. This register can be written and read via the
I2C-bus.

6.2.1 Control register definition
A SCx/SDx downstream pair, or channel, is selected by the contents of the control
register. This register is written after the PCA9544A has been addressed. The 3 LSBs of
the control byte are used to determine which channel is to be selected. When a channel is
selected, it will become active after a STOP condition has been placed on the I2C-bus.
This ensures that all SCx/SDx lines are in a HIGH state when the channel is made active,
so that no false conditions are generated at the time of connection.

6.3 Interrupt handling
The PCA9544A provides 4 interrupt inputs, one for each channel and one open-drain
interrupt output. When an interrupt is generated by any device, it is detected by the
PCA9544A and the interrupt output is driven LOW. The channel need not be active for
detection of the interrupt. A bit is also set in the control byte. Bits 7:4 of the control byte
correspond to channel 3 to channel 0 of the PCA9544A, respectively. Therefore, if an
interrupt is generated by any device connected to channel 2, the state of the interrupt
inputs is loaded into the control register when a read is accomplished. Likewise, an
interrupt on any device connected to channel 0 would cause bit 4 of the control register to
be set on the read. The master can then address the PCA9544A and read the contents of
the control byte to determine which channel contains the device generating the interrupt.
The master can then reconfigure the PCA9544A to select this channel, and locate the
device generating the interrupt and clear it. The interrupt clears when the device
originating the interrupt clears.
It should be noted that more than one device can be providing an interrupt on a channel,
so it is up to the master to ensure that all devices on a channel are interrogated for an
interrupt.
If the interrupt function is not required, the interrupt inputs may be used as
general-purpose inputs.
If unused, interrupt inputs must be connected to VDD through a pull-up resistor.

Remark: Several interrupts can be active at the same time. For example: INT3 = 0,
INT2 = 1, INT1 = 1, INT0 = 0, means that there is no interrupt on channel 0 and
channel 3, and there is an interrupt on channel 1 and on channel 2.

6.4 Power-on reset
When power is applied to VDD, an internal Power-On Reset (POR) holds the PCA9544A in
a reset condition until VDD has reached VPOR. At this point, the reset condition is released
and the PCA9544A registers and I2C-bus state machine are initialized to their default
states (all zeroes), causing all the channels to be deselected. Thereafter, VDD must be
lowered below 0.2 V for at least 5 s in order to reset the device.
6.5 Voltage translation
The pass gate transistors of the PCA9544A are constructed such that the VDD voltage can
be used to limit the maximum voltage that is passed from one I2C-bus to another.

Pass gate voltage versus supply voltage
Figure 7 shows the voltage characteristics of the pass gate transistors (note that the graph
was generated using the data specified in Section 12 “Dynamic characteristics” of this
data sheet). In order for the PCA9544A to act as a voltage translator, the Vo(sw) voltage
should be equal to, or lower than the lowest bus voltage. For example, if the main bus was
running at 5 V, and the downstream buses were 3.3 V and 2.7 V, then Vo(sw) should be
equal to or below 2.7 V to effectively clamp the downstream bus voltages. Looking at
Figure 7, we see that Vo(sw)(max) is at 2.7 V when the PCA9544A supply voltage is 3.5 V or
lower so the PCA9544A supply voltage could be set to 3.3 V. Pull-up resistors can then be
used to bring the bus voltages to their appropriate levels (see Figure 14).
More Information can be found in Application Note AN262, PCA954X family of I2C/SMBus
multiplexers and switches.

7. Characteristics of the I2C-bus
The I2C-bus is for 2-way, 2-line communication between different ICs or modules. The two
lines are a serial data line (SDA) and a serial clock line (SCL). Both lines must be
connected to a positive supply via a pull-up resistor when connected to the output stages
of a device. Data transfer may be initiated only when the bus is not busy.
7.1 Bit transfer
One data bit is transferred during each clock pulse. The data on the SDA line must remain
stable during the HIGH period of the clock pulse as changes in the data line at this time
will be interpreted as control signals (see Figure 8).

7.2 START and STOP conditions
Both data and clock lines remain HIGH when the bus is not busy. A HIGH-to-LOW
transition of the data line while the clock is HIGH is defined as the START condition (S). A
LOW-to-HIGH transition of the data line while the clock is HIGH is defined as the STOP
condition (P) (see Figure 9).

7.3 System configuration
A device generating a message is a ‘transmitter’, a device receiving is the ‘receiver’. The
device that controls the message is the ‘master’ and the devices which are controlled by
the master are the ‘slaves’ (see Figure 10).

7.4 Acknowledge
The number of data bytes transferred between the START and the STOP conditions from
transmitter to receiver is not limited. Each byte of 8 bits is followed by one acknowledge
bit. The acknowledge bit is a HIGH level put on the bus by the transmitter, whereas the
master generates an extra acknowledge related clock pulse.
A slave receiver which is addressed must generate an acknowledge after the reception of
each byte. Also, a master must generate an acknowledge after the reception of each byte
that has been clocked out of the slave transmitter. The device that acknowledges has to
pull down the SDA line during the acknowledge clock pulse so that the SDA line is stable
LOW during the HIGH period of the acknowledge related clock pulse; set-up and hold
times must be taken into account.
A master receiver must signal an end of data to the transmitter by not generating an
acknowledge on the last byte that has been clocked out of the slave. In this event, the
transmitter must leave the data line HIGH to enable the master to generate a STOP
condition.

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

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 19) 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 11 and 12
Table 11.

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 19.
