The LTC4316 enables the hardwired address of one or more I2C or SMBus slave devices to be translated to a different address. This allows slaves with the same hardwired 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 address translations are available.The LTC4316 incorporates a pass-through mode which disables the address translation 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.Part NumberNumber of Input ChannelsNumber of Output ChannelsLTC431611LTC431712LTC431822ApplicationsI2C, SMBus Address ExpansionAddress TranslationServersTelecom

The LTC4331 is a point-to-point SMBus compatible I2C slave device extender designed for operation in high noise industrial environments. Using a ±60V fault protected differential transceiver, the LTC4331 can extend an I2C/SMBus bus, including SMBALERT and a control signal, over a single twisted pair differential link up to 1200m. With an extended common mode operating range the solution provides tolerance to large ground differences between nodes. For EMI sensitive environments, a slew rate control pin reduces the EMI emitted from the differential link.In addition, the LTC4331 can act as an I2C to I2C bridge allowing independent bus frequencies between the local and remote networks. The solution is completely transparent to the master requiring no additional code in most cases; however, a control interface is provided for additional configuration and fault monitoring.A master controller fully supporting SCL clock-stretching is strongly recommended.APPLICATIONSIndustrial Control and SensorsLighting and Sound System Control

The LTC4352 creates a near-ideal diode using an external N-channel MOSFET. It replaces a high power Schottky diode and the associated heat sink, saving power and board area. The ideal diode function permits low loss power ORing and supply holdup applications.The LTC4352 regulates the forward voltage drop across the MOSFET to ensure smooth current transfer in diode-OR applications. A fast turn-on reduces the load voltage droop during supply switch-over. If the input supply fails or is shorted, a fast turn-off minimizes reverse currents.The controller operates with supplies from 2.9V to 18V. For lower voltages, an external supply is needed at the VCCpin. Power passage is disabled during undervoltage or overvoltage conditions. The controller also features an open MOSFET detect circuit that flags excessive voltage drop across the pass transistor in the on state. A REV pin enables reverse current, overriding the diode behavior when desired.ApplicationsRedundant Power SuppliesSupply HoldupTelecom InfrastructureComputer Systems and Servers

The LTC4353 controls external N-channel MOSFETs to implement an ideal diode function. It replaces two high power Schottky diodes and their associated heat sinks, saving power and board area. The ideal diode function permits low loss power supply ORing and supply holdup applications.The LTC4353 regulates the forward-voltage drop across the MOSFET to ensure smooth current transfer in diode-OR applications. A fast turn-on reduces the load voltage droop during supply switchover. If the input supply fails or is shorted, a fast turn-off minimizes reverse-current transients.The controller operates with supplies from 2.9V to 18V. If both supplies are below 2.9V, an external supply is needed at the VCCpin. Enable inputs can be used to turn off the MOSFET and put the controller in a low current state. Status outputs indicate whether the MOSFETs are on or off.ApplicationsRedundant Power SuppliesSupply HoldupHigh Availability Systems and ServersTelecom and Network Infrastructure
