bus buffer allows I/O card insertion into a live backplane
without corruption of the data and clock busses. In addi-
tion, the LTC4301 allows the V
CC
, SDAIN and SCLIN pull-
up voltage and the SDAOUT and SCLOUT pull-up voltage
to be independent from each other. Control circuitry
prevents the backplane from being connected to the card
until a stop bit or a bus idle is present. When the connec-
tion is made, the LTC4301 provides bidirectional buffer-
ing, keeping the backplane and card capacitances isolated.
During insertion, the SDA and SCL lines are precharged to
1V to minimize bus disturbances. When driven low, the CS
input pin allows the part to connect after a stop bit or bus
idle occurs. Driving CS high breaks the connection be-
tween SCLIN and SCLOUT and between SDAIN and
SDAOUT. The READY output pin indicates that the back-
plane and card sides are connected together.
The LTC4301 is offered in 8-pin DFN (3mm
×
3mm) and
MSOP packages.

CS (Pin 1):
The connection sense pin is a 1.4V threshold
digital input pin. For normal operation CS is grounded.
Driving CS above the 1.4V threshold isolates SDAIN from
SDAOUT and SCLIN from SCLOUT and asserts READY
low.
SCLOUT (Pin 2):
Serial Clock Output. Connect this pin to
the SCL bus on the card.
SCLIN (Pin 3):
Serial Clock Input. Connect this pin to SCL
on the bus backplane.
GND (Pin 4):
Ground. Connect this pin to a ground plane
for best results.
READY (Pin 5):
The READY pin is an open drain N-channel
MOSFET output which pulls down when CS is high or
when the start-up sequence described in the Operation
section has not been completed. READY goes high when
CS is low and a start-up is complete.
SDAIN (Pin 6):
Serial Data Input. Connect this pin to the
SDA bus on the backplane.
SDAOUT (Pin 7):
Serial Data Output. Connect this pin to
the SDA bus on the card.

OPERATIO
Start-Up
When the LTC4301 first receives power on its V
CC
pin,
either during power-up or live insertion, it starts in an
undervoltage lockout (UVLO) state, ignoring any activity
on the SDA or SCL pins until V
CC
rises above 2.5V (typical).
This is to ensure that the part does not try to function until
it has enough voltage to do so.
During this time, the 1V precharge circuitry is active and
forces 1V through 200k nominal resistors to the SDA and
SCL pins. Because the I/O card is being plugged into a live
backplane, the voltage on the backplane SDA and SCL
busses may be anywhere between 0V and V
CC
. Precharging
the SCL and SDA pins to 1V minimizes the worst-case
voltage differential these pins will see at the moment of
connection, therefore minimizing the amount of distur-
bance caused by the I/O card.
Once the LTC4301 comes out of UVLO, it assumes that
SDAIN and SCLIN have been inserted into a live system
and that SDAOUT and SCLOUT are being powered up at
the same time as itself. Therefore, it looks for either a stop
bit or bus idle condition on the backplane side to indicate
the completion of a data transaction. When either one
occurs, the part also verifies that both the SDAOUT and
SCLOUT voltages are high. When all of these conditions
are met, the input-to-output connection circuitry is acti-
vated, joining the SDA and SCL busses on the I/O card with
those on the backplane.
Connection Circuitry
Once the connection circuitry is activated, the functional-
ity of the SDAIN and SDAOUT pins is identical. A low
forced on either pin at any time results in both pin voltages
being low. For proper operation, logic low input voltages
should be no higher than 0.4V with respect to the ground
pin voltage of the LTC4301. SDAIN and SDAOUT enter a
logic high state only when all devices on both SDAIN and
SDAOUT release high. The same is true for SCLIN and
SCLOUT. This important feature ensures that clock stretch-
ing, clock synchronization, arbitration and the acknowl-
edge protocol always work, regardless of how the devices
in the system are tied to the LTC4301.
Another key feature of the connection circuitry is that it
provides bidirectional buffering, keeping the backplane
U
and card capacitances isolated. Because of this isolation,
the waveforms on the backplane busses look slightly
different than the corresponding card bus waveforms as
described here.
Input-to-Output Offset Voltage
When a logic low voltage, V
LOW1
, is driven on any of the
LTC4301’s data or clock pins, the LTC4301 regulates the
voltage on the other side of the device (call it V
LOW2
) at a
slightly higher voltage, as directed by the following
equation:
V
LOW2
= V
LOW1
+ 75mV + (V
CC
/R) • 70Ω (typical)
where R is the bus pull-up resistance in ohms. For ex-
ample, if a device is forcing SDAOUT to 10mV where V
CC
= 3.3V and the pull-up resistor R on SDAIN is 10k, then the
voltage on SDAIN = 10mV + 75mV + (3.3/10000) • 70 =
108mV (typical). See the Typical Performance Character-
istics section for curves showing the offset voltage as a
function of V
CC
and R.
Propagation Delays
During a rising edge, the rise time on each side is deter-
mined by the bus pull-up resistor and the equivalent
capacitance on the line. If the pull-up resistors are the
same, a difference in rise time occurs which is directly
proportional to the difference in capacitance between
the two sides. This effect is displayed in Figure 1 for
V
CC
= 5V and a 10k pull-up resistor on each side (55pF on
one side and 20pF on the other). SDAIN and SCLIN are
pulled-up to 3.3V, and SDAOUT and SCLOUT are pulled-
up to 5V. Since the output side has less capacitance than
the input, it rises faster and the effective low to high
