Overview
Das I2C MUX 6 Click Board™ ist eine kompakte Zusatzplatine, die einen bidirektionalen Selektor für Anwendungen mit I2C-Slave-Adresskonflikten darstellt. Diese Platine verfügt über den PCA9518, einen erweiterbaren bidirektionalen Fünfkanalpuffer, der vom I2C-Bus von Texas Instruments gesteuert wird. Der PCA9518 überwindet die Einschränkung der maximalen Buskapazität, indem er die I2C-Daten- (SDA) und Taktleitungen (SCL) in mehrere Gruppen von 400-pF-I2C-Kanälen trennt und puffert. Er aktiviert den gewünschten Kanal über einen bestimmten Enable-Pin und ermöglicht die Erweiterung des I2C-Busses über einen integrierten Erweiterungs-Header, indem er sowohl die Daten- (SDA) als auch die Taktleitungen (SCL) puffert und so praktisch eine unbegrenzte Anzahl von Bussen mit 400 pF ermöglicht. Dieses Click Board™ ist für verschiedene Anwendungen in den Bereichen Industrie, Medizin, Kommunikation und Automobil geeignet.
Das I2C MUX 6 Click Board™ wird von einer mikroSDK-kompatiblen Bibliothek unterstützt, die Funktionen enthält, die die Softwareentwicklung vereinfachen. Dieses Click Board™ wird als vollständig getestetes Produkt geliefert und ist bereit für den Einsatz auf einem System, das mit der mikroBUS™-Buchse ausgestattet ist.
How Does The I2C MUX 6 Click Board™Work?
The I2C MUX 6 Click Board™ as its foundation uses the PCA9518, an expandable four-channel bidirectional buffer controllable through the I2C serial interface from Texas Instruments. The primary SCL/SDA signal pair is directed to four channels where only one SCL/SDA channel can be selected at a time, determined on the state of the four Enable pins, routed to the AN, RST, CS, and PWM pins of the mikroBUS™ socket. The PCA9518 overcomes the restriction of maximum bus capacitance by separating and buffering the I2C data (SDA) and clock (SCL) lines into multiple groups of 400pF I2C channels.
The PCA9518 has several multi-directional open-drain buffers designed to support the standard low-level-contention arbitration of the I2C bus. Except during arbitration, the PCA9518 acts like a pair of non-inverting open-drain buffers, one for SDA and one for SCL. It can communicate with other PCA9518 hubs through a 4-wire inter-hub expansion bus, located on the onboard header with EXP labelled pins, i.e., permits extension of the I2C-bus by buffering both the data (SDA) and the clock (SCL) lines enabling virtually an unlimited number of buses of 400pF.
The PCA9518 communicates with MCU using the standard I2C interface that supports Standard-Mode (100 kHz) and Fast-Mode (400 kHz) operation. As mentioned before, each Enable pin, ENx, controls its associated SDAx and SCLx channels. When the ENx pin is in a low logic state, it isolates its corresponding SDAx and SCLx lines from the system by blocking the inputs from SDAx and SCLx and disabling the output drivers on these lines. It is essential that the ENx change state only when both the global bus and the local port are in an IDLE state to prevent system failures.
The I2C MUX 6 Click Board™is designed for 3.3V operation. It also has onboard terminals labelled as VCC-I2C to supply a voltage, 3.3V or 5V, for PCA9518's I2C lines, which are 5V-tolerant. However, the board must perform appropriate logic voltage level conversion before using MCUs with different logic levels. The Click board™ comes equipped with a library containing functions and an example code that can be used, as a reference, for further development.
