Detailed Design Procedure

Selecting the pull-up resistor required for the A-side (Bus A) is well documented already, see the I2C Bus Pullup Resistor Calculation application report. The rest of this section deals only with selection of a device based on the B-side design requirements.

Selection process of each device is identical to the procedure described in the Device Selection Guide section, except that it must be done for each individual TCA980x. This section jumps straight to the selection graphs to show the selection process. See the Detailed Design Procedure section for single device for detailed information.

TCA9802 apps4_selection_example_busb.gifFigure 35. Selection Guide Based On Example Design Requirements for Bus B

Based on Figure 35, the TCA9803 is the only device which can satisfy the design requirements. Had the rise time requirement been ≤ 300 ns, then the TCA9802 also works, but the design requirement was 200 ns.

Based on Figure 36, all 4 variants of the TCA980x family meet the design requirements. The TCA9800 is the most optimized selection, but any of the variants can be used without issue.

As the system designer, the choice can be made to go for the most optimized part selections (TCA9803 for bus B and TCA9800 for bus C), but it is also ok to use the TCA9803 on both busses, because it can satisfy the design requirements of both busses.
