P3A9606JK Dual Bidirectional I3C/I2C SPI Translator

NXP's P3A9606JK auto direction sensing enables bidirectional voltage level translation for traditional I2C bus/SMBus applications

Image of NXP's P3A9606JK Dual Bidirectional I3C/I2C SPI TranslatorNXP's P3A9606JK is a 2-bit, dual supply translating transceiver with auto direction sensing that enables bidirectional voltage level translation for traditional open drain I2C bus/SMBus applications, combination open drain and push-pull 12.5 MHz I3C bus applications, or push-pull SPI applications (with two devices).

Both VCC(A) and VCC(B) can be supplied at any voltage between 0.72 V and 1.98 V, making the device suitable for translating between any of the low voltage nodes (0.8 V, 1.2 V, and 1.8 V). It features two 1-bit input-output ports (An and Bn) controlled by one output enable input (OE).

Features
  • Wide supply voltage range
    • VCC(A): 0.72 V to 1.98 V and VCC(B): 0.72 V to 1.98 V; VCC(A) ≤ VCC(B)
  • IOFF circuitry provides partial Power-down mode operation
  • Inputs accept voltages up to 1.98 V and are overvoltage tolerant to 1.98 V
  • Provided voltage level translation for I3C, I2C bus, SMBus, and SPI devices
  • Specified from -40°C to +85°C and -40°C to +125°C 
  • ESD protection
    • HBM JESD22-A114E Class 2 exceeds 2000 V
    • CDM JESD22-C101E exceeds 1000 V
  • Latch-up performance exceeds 100 mA per JESD 78B Class II
  • Available in X2SON8 1.35 mm x 1.0 mm x 0.32 mm package with 0.35 mm pitch
