C/SMBus Address Translators
I
The LTC4316/LTC4317/LTC4318 are I
2
C/SMBus address translators that bridge two or more segments of an I
2
C bus, reading
incoming addresses on the master side and transmitting a different 7-bit I
2
C address to the slave side to avoid address conflicts.
Only discrete resistors are needed to select the new address and no software programming is required. Up to 127 different
address translations are available.
