IES5502 extends and expands your I2C, 2-Wire, SMBus, PMBus, IPMB Using analog design principles, the IES5502 is a true dual bi-directional bus buffer for use in 2-wire bus systems such as I˛CTM, SMBusTM, PMBusTM & IPMB or other systems where hot insertion logic for detecting stop and idle conditions is required for live insertion into backplanes. The IES5502 significantly increases system noise margins on the Intelligent Platform Management Bus (IPMB) and is excellent for implementing cost effective IPMB architectures. The hot insertion feature also makes them ideal for use on Intelligent Platform Management Controller (IPMC) boards. The unique operation of the IES5502 provides one of the fastest response times of such bi-directional buffers as it does this without the need for ‘rise-time accelerators'. The use of rise-time accerators when combined with low noise margins may cause glitches outside the I2C specification. |
