■
■
Programmable timeout circuitry disconnects the downstream buses if the bus is stuck low. When activated, rise
time accelerators source currents into the 2-wire bus pins
to reduce rise time. Driving the ENABLE pin low restores
all features to their default states. Three address pins
provide 27 distinct addresses.
The LTC4306 is available in 24-lead QFN (4mm × 5mm)
and SSOP packages.

■
The LTC®4306 is a 4-channel, 2-wire bus multiplexer with
bus buffers to provide capacitive isolation between the
upstream bus and downstream buses. Through software
control, the LTC4306 connects the upstream 2-wire bus to
any desired combination of downstream buses. Each
channel can be pulled up to a supply voltage ranging from
2.2V to 5.5V, independent of the LTC4306 supply voltage.
The downstream channels are also provided with
ALERT1-ALERT4 inputs for fault reporting.

Note 1: Absolute Maximum Ratings are those values beyond which the life
of a device may be impaired.
Note 2: Guaranteed by design and not subject to test.
Note 3: The boosted pull-up currents are regulated to prevent excessively
fast edges for light loads. See the Typical Performance Characteristics for
rise time as a function of VCC and parasitic bus capacitance CBUS and for
IBOOST as a function of VCC and temperature.

to a voltage VLOW2 = VLOW + VOS, where VOS is a positive offset voltage.
VOS,UP-BUF is the offset voltage when the LTC4306 is driving the upstream
pin (e.g., SDAIN) and VOS,DOWN-BUF is the offset voltage when the
LTC4306 is driving the downstream pin (e.g., SDA1). See the Typical
Performance Characteristics for VOS,UP-BUF and VOS,DOWN-BUF as a
function of VCC and bus pull-up current.
Note 5: When floating, the ADR0-ADR2 pins can tolerate pin leakage
currents up to IADR(FLOAT) and still convert the address correctly.

PI FU CTIO S (GN24 Package/UFD24 Package)
ALERT (Pin 3/Pin 1): Fault Alert Output. An open-drain
output that is pulled low when a fault occurs to alert the
host controller. The LTC4306 pulls ALERT low when any
of the ALERT1-ALERT4 pins is low, when the 2-wire bus
is stuck low, or when the Connection Requirement bit of
Register 2 is low and a master tries to connect to a
downstream channel that is low. See Operation section for
the details of how ALERT is set and cleared. The LTC4306
is compatible with the SMBus Alert Response Address
protocol. Connect a 10k resistor to a power supply voltage
to provide the pull-up. Tie to ground if unused.
SDAIN (Pin 4/Pin 2): Serial Bus Data Input and Output.
Connect this pin to the SDA line on the master side. An
external pull-up resistor or current source is required.
GND (Pin 5/Pin 3): Device Ground.
SCLIN (Pin 6/Pin 4): Serial Bus Clock Input. Connect this
pin to the SCL line on the master side. An external pull-up
resistor or current source is required.
ENABLE (Pin 7/Pin 5): Digital Interface Enable and Register Reset. Driving ENABLE high enables I2C communication to the LTC4306. Driving this pin low disables I2C
communication to the LTC4306 and resets the registers to
their default state as shown in the Operation section.
When ENABLE returns high, masters can read and write
the LTC4306 again. If unused, tie ENABLE to VCC.
VCC (Pin 8/Pin 6): Power Supply Voltage. Connect a
bypass capacitor of at least 0.01µF directly between VCC
and GND for best results.
GPIO1-GPIO2 (Pins 10, 11/Pins 8, 9): General Purpose
Input/Output. These two pins can be used as logic inputs,
open-drain outputs or push-pull outputs. The N-channel
MOSFET pull-down devices are capable of driving LEDs.
When used in input or open-drain output mode, the GPIOs
can be pulled up to a supply voltage ranging from 1.5V to
5.5V independent of the VCC voltage. GPIOs default to a
high impedance open-drain output mode. There are GPIO
configuration and status bits in Register 1 and Register 2.
Float if unused.
ADR0-ADR2 (Pins 12, 13, 14/Pins 10, 11, 12): ThreeState Serial Bus Address Inputs. Each pin may be floated,
tied to ground or tied to VCC. There are therefore 27
possible addresses. See Table 1 in applications information. When the pins are floated, they can tolerate ±5µA of
leakage current and still convert the address correctly.
READY (Pin 15/Pin 13): Connection Ready Digital Output.
An N-channel MOSFET open-drain output transistor that
pulls down when none of the downstream channels is
connected to the upstream bus and turns off when one or
more downstream channels is connected to the upstream
bus. Connect a 10k resistor to a power supply voltage to
provide the pull-up. Tie to ground if unused.
SCL1-SCL4 (Pins 18, 23, 1, 17/Pins 16, 21, 23, 15):
Serial Bus Clock Outputs Channels 1-4. Connect pins
SCL1-SCL4 to the SCL lines on the downstream
channels 1-4, respectively. It is acceptable to float any pin
that will never be connected to the upstream bus. Otherwise, an external pull-up resistor or current source is
required on each pin.
SDA1-SDA4 (Pins 19, 22, 2, 16/Pins 17, 20, 24, 14):
Serial Bus Data Output Channels 1-4. Connect pins
SDA1-SDA4 to the SDA lines on downstream channels
1-4, respectively. It is acceptable to float any pin that will
never be connected to the upstream bus. Otherwise, an
external pull-up resistor or current source is required on
each pin.
ALERT1-ALERT4 (Pins 20, 24, 21, 9/Pins 18, 22,
19, 7): Fault Alert Inputs, Channels 1-4. Devices on each
of the four output channels can pull their respective pin
low to indicate that a fault has occurred. The LTC4306 then
pulls the ALERT low to pass the fault indication on to the
host. See Operation section below for the details of how
ALERT is set and cleared. Connect unused fault alert
inputs to VCC.
Exposed Pad (Pin 25, UFD Package Only): Power Ground.
Exposed Pad may be left open or connected to device
ground.

LTC4306
U
OPERATIO
The LTC4306 is a 4-channel, 2-wire bus multiplexer/
switch with bus buffers to provide capacitive isolation
between the upstream bus and downstream buses. Masters on the upstream 2-wire bus (SDAIN and SCLIN) can
command the LTC4306 to any combination of the 4
downstream buses. Masters can also program the LTC4306
to disconnect the upstream bus from the downstream
buses if the bus is stuck low.
commanding connection to one or more downstream
channels, and second, there must be no stuck low
condition (see Stuck Low Timeout Fault discussion). If
the connection command is successful, the UpstreamDownstream Buffers pass signals between the upstream
bus and the connected downstream buses. The LTC4306
also turns off its N-channel MOSFET open-drain pulldown on the READY pin, so that READY can be pulled
high by its external pull-up resistor.
Undervoltage Lockout (UVLO) and ENABLE
Functionality
Upstream-Downstream Buffers
The LTC4306 contains undervoltage lockout circuitry that
maintains all of its SDA, SCL, GPIO and ALERT pins in high
impedance states until the device has sufficient VCC supply
voltage to function properly. It also ignores any attempts
to communicate with it via the 2-wire buses in this condition. When the ENABLE pin voltage is low (below 0.8V), all
control bits are reset to their default high impedance
states, and the LTC4306 ignores 2-wire bus commands.
However, with ENABLE low, the LTC4306 still monitors
the ALERT1-ALERT4 pin voltages and pulls the ALERT pin
low if any of ALERT1-ALERT4 is low. When ENABLE is
high, devices can read from and write to the LTC4306.
Once the Upstream-Downstream Buffers are activated,
the functionality of the SDAIN and any connected downstream SDA pins is identical. A low forced on any connected SDA pin at any time results in all pins being low.
External devices must pull the pin voltages below 0.4V
worst-case with respect to the LTC4306’s ground pin to
ensure proper operation. The SDA pins enter a logic high
state only when all devices on all connected SDA pins force
a high. The same is true for SCLIN and the connected
downstream SCL pins. This important feature ensures
that clock stretching, clock arbitration and the acknowledge protocol always work, regardless of how the devices
in the system are connected to the LTC4306.
Connection Circuitry
The Upstream-Downstream Buffers provide capacitive
isolation between SDAIN/SCLIN and the downstream connected buses. Note that there is no capacitive isolation
between connected downstream buses; they are only
separated by the series combination of their switches’ on
resistances.
Masters on the upstream SDAIN/SCLIN bus can write to
the Bus 1 FET State through Bus 4 FET State bits of register
3 to connect to any combination of downstream channels
1 to 4. By default, the Connection Circuitry shown in the
Block Diagram will only connect to downstream channels
whose corresponding Bus Logic State bits in register 3 are
high at the moment that it receives the connection command. If the LTC4306 is commanded to connect to multiple channels at once, it will only connect to the channels
that are high. Masters can override this feature by setting
the Connection Requirement bit of register 2 high. With
this bit high, the LTC4306 executes connection commands without regard to the logic states of the downstream channels.
Upon receiving the connection command, the Connection Circuitry will activate the Upstream-Downstream
Buffers under two conditions: first, the master must be
While any combination of downstream buses may be
connected at the same time, logic high levels are corrupted
if multiple downstream buses are active and both the VCC
voltage and one or more downstream bus pull-up voltages
are larger than the pull-up supply voltage for another
downsteam bus. An example of this issue is shown in
Figure 1. During logic highs, DC current flows from VBUS1
through the series combination of R1, N1, N2 and R2 and
into VBUS2, causing the SDA1 voltage to drop and current
to be sourced into VBUS2. To avoid this problem, do not
activate bus 1 or any other downstream bus whose pullup voltage is above 2.5V when bus 2 is active.

channel. Note that users can write a high to the Connection
Requirement bit of register 2 high to program the LTC4306
to connect to downstream channels regardless of their
logic state at the moment of connection. In this case, the
downstream channel connection fault never occurs.
Stuck Low Timeout Fault
4306 F01
Figure 1. Example of Unacceptable Level Shifting
Rise Time Accelerators
The Upstream Accelerators Enable and Downstream Accelerators Enable bits of register 1 activate the upstream
and downstream rise time accelerators, respectively.
When activated, the accelerators turn on in a controlled
manner and source current into the pins during positive
bus transitions.
When no downstream buses are connected, an upstream
accelerator turns on when its pin voltage exceeds 0.8V
and is rising at a minimum slew rate of 0.8V/µs. When one
or more downstream buses are connected, the accelerator on a given pin turns on when these conditions are met:
first, the pin’s voltage is rising at a minimum slew rate of
0.8V/µs; second, the voltages on both the upstream bus
and the connected downstream buses exceed 0.8V.
Note that a downstream bus’s switch must be closed in
order for its rise time accelerator current to be active. See
the Applications Section for choosing a bus pull-up resistor value to ensure that the rise time accelerator switches
turn on. Do not activate boost currents on a bus whose
pull-up supply voltage VBUS is less than VCC. Doing so
would cause the boost currents to source current from
VCC into the VBUS supply during rising edges.
Downstream Bus Connection Fault
By default, the LTC4306 will only connect to downstream
channels whose SDA and SCL pins are both high (above
1V) at the moment that it receives the connection command. In this case, the LTC4306 sets the Failed Connection Attempt bit of register 0 low and pulls the ALERT pin
low when the master tries to connect to a low downstream
The stuck low timeout circuitry monitors the two common
internal nodes of the downstream SDA and SCL switches
and runs a timer whenever either of the internal node
voltages is below 0.52V. The timer is reset whenever both
internal node voltages are above 0.6V. If the timer ever
reaches the time programmed by Timeout Mode Bits 1 and
0 of register 2, the LTC4306 pulls ALERT low and disconnects the downstream bus(es) from the upstream bus by
de-biasing the Upstream-Downstream Buffers. Note that
the downstream switches remain in their existing state.
The Timeout Real-Time bit of register 0 indicates the realtime status of the stuck low situation. The Latched Timeout
Bit of register 0 is a latched bit that is set high when a
timeout occurs.
External Faults on the Downstream Channels
When a slave on downstream bus 1 pulls the ALERT1 pin
below 1V, the LTC4306 passes this information to the
master on the upstream bus by pulling the ALERT pin low.
The same is true for the other three downstream buses.
Each bus has its own dedicated fault bit in Register 0, so
that masters can read Register 0 to determine which buses
have faults.
ALERT Functionality and Fault Resolution
When a fault occurs, the LTC4306 pulls the ALERT pin low,
as described previously. The procedure for resolving
faults depends on the type of fault. If a master on the
upstream bus is communicating with devices on a downstream bus via the Upstream-Downstream Buffer circuitry—channel 1, for example—and a device on this bus
pulls the ALERT1 pin low, the LTC4306 acts transparently,
and the master communicates directly with the device that
caused the fault via the upstream-downstream buffer
circuitry to resolve the fault.
4306f

LTC4306
U
OPERATIO
In all other cases, the LTC4306 communicates with the
master to resolve the fault. After the master broadcasts the
Alert Response Address (ARA), the LTC4306 will respond
with its address on the SDAIN line and release the ALERT
pin. The ALERT line will also be released if the LTC4306 is
addressed by the master.
connect to bus 2, so that it can communicate with the
source of the fault. At this point, the master writes to
register 0 to clear the LTC4306 fault register.
I2C Device Addressing
Twenty-seven distinct bus addresses are configurable
using the three state ADR0, ADR1 and ADR2 pins. Table 1
shows the correspondence between pin states and addresses. Note that address bits a6 and a5 are internally
configured to 1 and 0 respectively. In addition, the LTC4306
responds to two special addresses. Address (1011 101) is
a mass write used to write all LTC4306’s, regardless of
their individual address settings. The mass write can be
masked by setting the Mass Write Enable bit of register 2
to zero. Address (0001 100) is the SMBus Alert Response
Address. Figure 3 shows data transfer over a 2-wire bus.
The ALERT signal will not be pulled low again until a
different type of fault has occurred or the original fault is
cleared and it occurs again. Figure 2 shows the details of
how the ALERT pin is set and reset. The downstream bus
connection fault and faults that occur on unconnected
downstream buses are grouped together and generate a
single signal to drive ALERT. The stuck low timeout fault
has its own dedicated pathway to ALERT; however, once
a stuck low occurs, another one will not occur until the first
one is cleared. For these reasons, once the master has
established the LTC4306 as the source of the fault, it
should read register 0 to determine the specific problem,
take action to solve the problem, and clear the fault
promptly. All faults are cleared by writing a dummy data
byte to register 0, which is a read-only register.
Supported Commands
Users must write to the LTC4306 using the SMBus Write
Byte protocol and read from it using the Read Byte
protocol. During fault resolution, the LTC4306 also
supports the Alert Response Address protocol. The
formats for these protocols are shown in Figure 4. Users
must follow the Write Byte protocol exactly to write to the
LTC4306; if a Repeated Start Condition is issued before a
Stop Condition, the LTC4306 ignores the attempted write,
and its control bits remain in their preexisting state. When
For example, assume that a fault occurs, the master sends
out the ARA, and the LTC4306 successfully writes
its address onto SDAIN and releases its ALERT pin. The
master reads register 0 and learns that the ALERT2 logic
state bit is low. The master now knows that a device on
downstream bus 2 has a fault and writes to register 3 to

General Purpose Input/Outputs (GPIOs)

pins (GPIOs) that can be configured as logic inputs, opendrain outputs or push-pull outputs. The GPIO1 and GPIO2

is 35Ω, making the GPIO pull-downs capable of driving
LEDs. At VCC = 5V, the typical pull-up impedance is 320Ω
and the typical pull-down impedance is 20Ω. In opendrain output mode, the user provides the logic high by
connecting a pull-up resistor between the GPIO pin and an
external supply voltage. The external supply voltage can
range from 1.5V to 5.5V independent of the VCC voltage.
In input mode, the GPIO input threshold voltage is 1V.
The GPIO1 and GPIO2 Logic State bits in register 1
indicate the logic state of the two GPIO pins. The logiclevel threshold voltage for each pin is 1V. The GPIO1 and
GPIO2 Output Driver State bits in register 1 indicate the
logic state that the LTC4306 is attempting to write to the
GPIO pins. This is useful when the GPIOs are being used
in open-drain output mode and one or more external
devices are connected to the GPIOs. If the LTC4306 is
trying to write a high to a GPIO pin, but the pin’s actual
logic state is low, then the LTC4306 knows that the low is
being forced by an external device.
Glitch Filters
The LTC4306 provides glitch filters on the SDAIN and
SCLIN pins as required by the I2C Fast Mode (400kHz)
Specification. The filters prevent signals of up to 50ns
(minimum) time duration and rail-to-rail voltage
magnitude from passing into the two-wire bus digital
interface circuitry.

Per the I2C Fast Mode (400kHz) Specification, the twowire bus digital interface circuitry provides fall time control when forcing logic lows onto the SDAIN bus. The fall

Design Example
the required minimum strength of the pull-up resistors is
determined by the minimum slew requirement to guarantee that the LTC4306’s rise time accelerators are activated
during rising edges. At the same time, the pull-up value
should be kept low to maximize the logic low noise margin
and minimize the offset voltage of the Upstream-Downstream Buffer circuitry. The LTC4306 is designed to function for a maximum DC pull-up current of 4mA. If multiple
downstream channels are active at the same time, this
means that the sum total of the pull-up currents from these
channels must be less than 4mA. At supply voltages of
2.7V and 5.5V, pull-up resistor values of 10k work well for
capacitive loads up to 215pF and 420pF, respectively. For
larger bus capacitances, refer to equation (1) below. The
LTC4306 works with capacitive loads up to 2nF.
A typical LTC4306 application circuit is shown in Figure 5.
The circuit illustrates the level-shifting, multiplexer/switch
and capacitance buffering features of the LTC4306. In this
application, the LTC4306 VCC voltage and downstream
bus 1 are powered from a 3.3V supply voltage; downstream bus 4 is powered from 5V, and the upstream bus
is powered from 2.5V. Channels 2 and 3 are omitted for
simplicity. The following sections describe a methodology
for choosing the external components in Figure 5.
SDA, SCL Pull-Up Resistor Selection

Assume in Figure 5 that the total parasitic bus capacitance
on SDA1 due to trace and device capacitance is 100pF. To
ensure that the boost currents are active during rising
edges, the pull-up resistor must be strong enough to
cause the SDA1 pin voltage to rise at a rate of 0.8V/µs as
the pin voltage is rising above 0.8V. The equation is:
⎧
⎡ ns ⎤ ⎫
⎨( VBUSMIN – 0 . 8 V) • 1250 ⎢ ⎥ ⎬
⎣ V ⎦ ⎭ (1)
RPULL −UP,MAX [kΩ ] = ⎩
CBUS [pF ]
where VBUSMIN is the minimum operating pull-up supply
voltage, and CBUS is the bus parasitic capacitance. In our
example, VBUS1 = VCC = 3.3V, and assuming ±10% supply
tolerance, VBUS1MIN = 2.97V. With CBUS = 100pF,
RPULL-UP,MAX = 27.1k. Therefore, we must choose a pullup resistor smaller (i.e., stronger pull-up) than 27.1k, so
a 10k resistor works fine.
ALERT, READY and GPIO Component Selection
The pull-up resistors on the ALERT and READY pins must
provide a maximum pull-up current of 3mA, so that the
LTC4306 is capable of holding the pin at logic low voltages
below 0.4V. When choosing LEDs to be driven by the
LTC4306’s GPIO pins, make sure that the required LED
sinking current is less than 5mA, and add a currentlimiting resistor in series with the LED.
Level Shifting Considerations
In the design example of Figure 5, the LTC4306 VCC
voltage is less than or equal to both of the downstream bus
pull-up voltages, so buses 1 and 4 can be active at the
same time. Likewise, the rise time accelerators can be
turned on for the downstream buses, but must never be
activated on SCLIN and SDAIN, because doing so would
result in significant current flow from VCC to VBACK during
rising edges.
Other Application Circuits
having device address 1001 000. If the four I/O cards were
plugged directly into the backplane, the four sensors
would require four unique addresses. However, if masters
use the LTC4306 in multiplexer mode, where only one
downstream channel is connected at a time, then each
I/O card can have a device with address 1001 000 and no
problems will occur.
Figures 7 and 8 show two different methods for hotswapping I/O cards onto a live two-wire bus using the
LTC4306. The circuitry of Figure 7 consists of an LTC4306
residing on the edge of an I/O card having four separate
downstream buses. Connect a 200k resistor to ground
from the ENABLE pin and make the ENABLE pin the
shortest pin on the connector, so that the ENABLE pin
remains at a constant logic low while all other pins are
connecting. This ensures that the LTC4306 remains in its
default high impedance state and ignores connection
transients on its SDAIN and SCLIN pins until they have
established solid contact with the backplane 2-wire bus. In
addition, make sure that the ALERT connector pin is
shorter than the VCC pin, so that VCC establishes solid
contact with the I/O card pull-up supply pin and powers
the pull-up resistors on ALERT1–ALERT4 before ALERT
makes contact.
Figure 8 illustrates an alternate SDA and SCL hot-swapping technique, where the LTC4306 is located on the
backplane and an I/O card plugs into downstream channel
4. Before plugging and unplugging the I/O card, make sure
that channel 4’s downstream switch is open, so that it does
not disturb any 2-wire transaction that may be occurring
at the moment of connection/disconnection. Note that
pull-up resistor, R17, on ALERT4 should be located on the
backplane and not the I/O card to ensure proper operation
of the LTC4306 when the I/O card is not present. The pullup resistors on SCL4 and SDA4, R15 and R16 respectively, may be located on the I/O card, provided that
downstream bus 4 is never activated when the I/O card is
not present. Otherwise, locate R15 and R16 on the
backplane.
Figure 6 illustrates how the LTC4306 can be used to
expand the number of devices in a system by using nested
addressing. Each I/O card contains a temperature sensor
