I2C Multiplexer (TCA9548A) component

An I2C multiplexing IC allowing up to 8 different I2C busses to be connected to a single I2C channel on your target microcontroller.

Detailed description

No detailed description exists yet for this component

Examples

Here we have a simple example showing how to use the multiplexer to connect multiple of the same I2C sensor IC to the microcontroller.

The multiplexer IC is connected directly to the microcontroller I2C pins and up to 8 temp/humidity sensors are connected to the CH0-CH7 I2C pins of the multiplexer.

On older microcontroller devices there is a potential for the I2C hardware channel to lock up if there is not a 10ms delay between an I2C stop event and the next I2C start event. Most modern microcontrollers will not have a problem so this property can be disabled to speed up the I2C communications.
