Description
LTC4316
Single I2C/SMBus
Address Translator
Demonstration circuit 2217A features the LT C
®
4316 single
I2C/SMBus address translator. The LTC4316 enables one
or more I2C or SMBus slave devices to translate their
hardwired address to a different address. This allows
slaves with the same address to coexist on the same
bus. Only discrete resistors are needed to select the new
address and no software programming is required. Up to
127 different translations are available.
The LTC4316 has a rich set of features including:
nAllowing Multiple Slaves with the Same Address to
Coexist on the Same Bus.
nResistor Configurable Address Translating
nCompatibility with SMBus, I2C and I2C Fast Mode
nPass-Through Mode for General Call Addressing
nLevel Translation for 2.5V, 3.3V, and 5V Buses
nStuck Bus Timeout
nPrevention of SDA and SCL Corruption During Live
Board Insertion and Removal

nSupport for Bus Hot Swap™
n10-Lead MSOP or DFN 3mm × 3mm Package
The LTC4316 incorporates a pass-through mode which
disables the address translating and allows general call
addressing by the master. The LTC4316 is designed to
automatically recover from abnormal bus conditions like
bus stuck low or premature stop bits. There are three LT C
parts in this family with different numbers of inputs and
outputs. The part numbers are as follows:
PART NUMBER NUMBER OF INPUT
CHANNELS
NUMBER OF OUTPUT

LTC4317 1 2

OVERVIEW
The DC2217A is designed to demonstrate the ability of
the LTC4316 to offset an incoming I2C address field on
the SDAIN pin to any other I2C address on the SDAOUT
pin. The I2C data input to the card is generated from the
DC590 in conjunction with a PC.
ThisisimplementedbyEXCLUSIVE ORingtheinput address
with a fixed offset that is determined by resistors R8, R9,
R12, and R13, located on the OFFSET RESISTORS section
on the top center of the board. These resistor values are
selected by using values shown in Table 3 and Table 4 of
the LTC4316 data sheet.
Input I2C serial data (SDAIN) and serial clock (SCLIN) are
applied to the DC2217A via a connecting cable between a
DC590 USB SERIAL CONTROLLER and IN jack J1 of the
DC2217A. These incomingsignalsare connectedto SCLIN
and SDAIN of the LTC4316 (U1), as well as to the SCL
and SDA pins of U2, an LTC2631 DAC. Another LTC2631
DAC, U3, has its SCL and SDA connected to SDAOUT
and SCLOUT of the LTC4316 TRANSLATOR. Both DACs
can be programmed to one of three addresses by use of
their CA0 inputs. These addresses are selected by jumper
pins ADDRESS (THRU) and ADDRESS (TRANSLATED).
For the purposes of testing the board, both are selected
to respond to address 0x12h.
If both DACs were connected to SDAIN and SCLIN, they
would both respond at the same time when address 0x12h
is received. However, since DAC U3 is connected to SD-
AOUT and SCLOUT of U1, and U1 is set for a 0x78h offset
by the OFFSET RESISTORS, it will respond to the address
0x6Ah. The data bits are set to full-scale for the DACs.
The net result is that when address field 0x12h is sent
from the DC590 with data bits set to full-scale, the LED
designated THRU will be illuminated. When address field
0x6Ah is sent, the LED designated TRANSLATED will be
illuminated. This shows that an address translation has
occurred because of the offset programmed into address
translator U1, the LTC4316.
Jumper options VBUS_OUT and DEVICE POWER allow
operation ofthe LTC4316 at different VCC and I2Cbus levels
than the 5V supplied from the DC590. With VBUS_OUT
in the VBUS_IN position, and DEVICE PWR in the VCC/
VBUS_IN position, all power for VCC of U1 and SCLIN,
SDAIN, SCLOUT, and SDAOUT bus pull-up voltages will
be sourced by the DC590. With EXT BUS selected by the
VBUS_OUT jumper and VCC/VBUS_IN selected by the
DEVICE PWR jumper, VCC of U1 will be sourced by the
5V from the DC590 along with SCLIN, SDAIN bus pull up
resistors while SCLOUT and SDAOUT will be sourced from
the EXTVBUS turret. With VBUS_OUT jumper in the EXT
BUS position and DEVICE PWR in the VBUS_OUT posi-
tion, VCC for U1 as well as SCLOUT and SDAOUT will be
sourced from the EXTVBUS turret. This gives maximum
flexibility of input and output I2C bus levels for use with
external bus structures.
Optional connections allow selection and control of other
QuikEval™ demonstration circuits using the THRU and
TRANSLATED connectors. The EESCL and EESDA lines
from J1 may be configured to address either the onboard
EEPROM U4, or EEPROMs located on other QuikEval
demonstration circuits by using the QuikEval EEPROM
SCL and SDA jumpers. For normal operation, the SCL and
SDA jumpers should be in the 2217 position.

board and brings up the LTC4316 Evaluation Software
Interface (Figure 2). The QuikEval software is available at:
http://www.linear.com/QuikEval
Interface Design
The QuikEval interface consists of a Scan button which,
when pressed, causes the software to poll every I2C ad-
dress one at a time and listen for an acknowledge. Every
address that acknowledges is then listed in the Detected
Address list box directly beneath the Scan button. Once
the addresses are detected, the software determines
which ones correspond to the LEDs on the demo board.
At this point, clicking on the DAC Thru or DAC Translated
light-up control will cause the corresponding LED on the
demo board to illuminate. The Open Translator Tool but-
ton opens a tool that allows users to design an I2C bus
using LTC4316 I2C devices in an easy to use graphical
format. Figure 2 shows the results of selecting the Scan
button on a DC22117A with a standard configuration.
The Detected addresses show the All Call address, the
address of the DAC on the incoming I2C bus, the address
of the translated output I2C bus, and the address of the
on board EEPROM. The 0x12 [D1] Thru LED button has
been selected and corresponds to the THRU LED on the
DC2217A being illuminated.
