PCA9306DCTR

A dual bidirectional I²C and SMBus voltage-level translator with an enable (EN) input, operational from 1.2-V to 3.3-V VREF1 and 1.8-V to 5.5-V VREF2. Allows bidirectional voltage translations between 1.2 V and 5 V without a direction pin. The low ON-state resistance (RON) of the switch allows connections with minimal propagation delay. When EN is high, the translator switch is ON, enabling bidirectional data flow between ports; when EN is low, the switch is off, and a high-impedance state exists between ports. Can be used to isolate a 400-kHz bus from a 100-kHz bus by controlling the EN pin.
