PCA9541AD/01

2比1的I2C总线主调节器具有中断逻辑和复位 2-to-1 I2C-bus master selector with interrupt logic and reset

General description

The PCA9541A is a 2-to-1 I2C-bus master selector designed for high reliability dual master I2C-bus applications where system operation is required, even when one master fails or the controller card is removed for maintenance. The two masters for example, primary and back-up are located on separate I2C-buses that connect to the same downstream I2C-bus slave devices. I2C-bus commands are sent by either I2C-bus master and are used to select one master at a time. Either master at any time can gain control of the slave devices if the other master is disabled or removed from the system. The failed master is isolated from the system and will not affect communication between the on-line master and the slave devices on the downstream I2C-bus.
