Overview
Le I2C MUX Click Board™ est un commutateur I2C et SMBus bidirectionnel quadruple avec fonction de réinitialisation, destiné aux applications avec conflits d'adresses d'esclaves I2C (plusieurs capteurs de température identiques). Il est doté d'un commutateur de traduction bidirectionnel quadruple contrôlé via le bus I2C, étiqueté TCA9546A de Texas Instruments. Click Board™ possède trois cavaliers d'adresse, permettant jusqu'à huit périphériques TCA9546A sur le même bus.
La carte I2C MUX Click Board™ permet la conversion de tension entre les bus 1,8 V, 2,5 V, 3,3 V et 5 V, et prend également en charge l'insertion à chaud. Le TCA9546A peut fonctionner sur une plage de fréquences d'horloge de 0 à 400 kHz et est idéal pour la communication avec de nombreux appareils qui partagent la même adresse esclave sur le même bus.
How Does The I2C MUX Click Board™ Work?
The I2C MUX Click Board™ is packed with the TCA9546A, a quad bidirectional translating switch controlled via the I2C bus. The SCL/SDA upstream pair fans out to four downstream pairs, or channels. Any individual SCn/SDn channel or combination of channels can be selected, determined by the contents of the programmable control register. An active-low reset (RESET) input allows the TCA9546A to recover from a situation in which one of the downstream I2C buses is stuck in a low state. Pulling RESET low resets the I2C state machine and causes all the channels to be deselected, as does the internal power-on reset function. The pass gates of the switches are constructed such that the VCC pin can be used to limit the maximum high voltage, which will be passed by the TCA9546A. This allows the use of different bus voltages on each pair, so that 1.8-V, 2.5-V, or 3.3-V parts can communicate with 5-V parts without any additional protection. The slave devices can be connected to four headers located on the top of the I2C MUX click.
The TCA9546A supports Standard-Mode (100 kHz) and Fast-Mode (400 kHz) operation. This way, the bus can be used to manage a single 8-bit control register in which the four least significant bits control the enabling and disabling of the 4 switch channels of I2C data flow. The I2C bus is for two-way two-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 pullup resistor when connected to the output stages of a device. Data transfer can be initiated only when the bus is not busy. 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 are interpreted as control signals.
Applications of the TCA9546A contains an I2C (or SMBus) master device and up to four I2C slave devices. The downstream channels are ideally used to resolve the I2C slave address conflicts. For example, if four identical digital temperature sensors are needed in the application, one sensor can be connected at each channel: 0, 1, 2, and 3. When the temperature at a specific location needs to be read, the appropriate channel can be enabled and all other channels switched off, the data can be retrieved, and the I2C master can move on and read the next channel.
The I2C MUX Click Board™ can be supplied and interfaced with both 3.3V and 5V without the need for any external components. The onboard SMD jumper labelled as VCC SEL allows voltage selection for interfacing with both 3.3V and 5V microcontrollers.

Software Support
We provide a library for the I2C MUX Click Board™ on our LibStock page, as well as a demo application (example), developed using MikroElektronika compilers. The demo can run on all the main MikroElektronika development boards.
Library Description
The library covers all the necessary functions to control the I2C MUX Click Board™ board.
Key Functions
void i2cmux_hw_reset ( void )- Hardware reset function.void i2cmux_set_channel ( uint8_t channel, uint8_t ch_slave_address )- Set channel function.void i2cmux_generic_read ( uint8_t reg, uint8_t *p_rx_data, uint8_t n_bytes )- Generic read data function.
Example Description
The application is composed of three sections :
- System Initialization - Initializes I2C, set RST pin as output and start to write log.
- Application Initialization - Initialization driver enables - I2C, executes call hardware reset, also write log.
- Application Task - (code snippet) This is an example that demonstrates the use of the I2C MUX Click board. In this example, we read "Who am I" register of the connected click boards to the UART MUX click.
