TCA9406EVM

TCA9406EVM I2C Translator Evaluation Module

Texas Instruments TCA9406EVM I²C Translator Evaluation Module (EVM) is used to evaluate the TCA9406 in the DCU package. The TCA9406 is a 2-bit bidirectional 1MHz, I²C bus, and SMBus voltage-level translator. The I²C buses of the TCA9406 are easily accessed via SDA_A, SCL_A, SDA_B, and SCL_B test points and are symmetrically laid out for optimal performance. All of the IC signals are available through test point connections on the evaluation module. The Texas Instruments TCA9406EVM allows the designer to load and test different capacitive loading. The user can also replace a series resistor with an inductor to emulate the parasitic inductance of cables. Parameters such as rise time, power consumption, and delay times can quickly and accurately be evaluated.
