New LTC4331 Point-to-Point SMBus Compatible I²C Slave Device Extender
The LTC4331 is a point-to-point SMBus compatible I²C slave device extender designed for operation in high noise industrial environments. It creates a robust link between a host controller and slave devices over extended distances, up to 1200m, overcoming traditional I²C interface bus restrictions.
Download the Data Sheet Below to Learn How the LTC4331:
- Extends an I²C/SMBus Bus 1MHz SCL at 30m
- Simplifies Board and Link Design for Noisy/Harsh Environments
- Provides Extended Devices the Ability to Signal an Interrupt Back to the Local MCU
