Placing an LTC4309 on the to-back, as shown in Figure 6. The I2C specification allows edge of each card, however, isolates the card capacitance for 400pF maximum bus capacitance, severely limiting from the backplane. For a given I/O card, the LTC4309 the length of the bus. The SMBus specification places no drives the capacitance of everything on the card and the restriction on bus capacitance, but the limited impedances backplane must drive only the capacitance of the LTC4309, of devices connected to the bus require systems to remain which is less than 10pF. small if rise time and fall time specifications are to be met. In this situation, the differential ground voltage between Figure 4 shows the LTC4309 used in the typical staggered the two systems may limit the allowed distance, because connector application, where VCC and GND are the longest a valid logic low voltage with respect to the ground at one “early power” pins. The “early power” pins ensure the end of the system may violate the allowed V LTC4309 is initially powered and forcing a 1V precharge OL specification with respect to the ground at the other end. In addition, voltage on the medium length SDA and SCL pins before the connection circuitry offset voltages of the back-to- they contact to the backplane busses. Coupled with back LTC4309s add together, directly contributing to the ENABLE as the shortest pin, passively pulled to ground same problem. by a resistor, the staggered approach provides additional time for transients associated with live insertion to settle Figure 7 further illustrates a repeater application. In before the LTC4309 can be enabled. AdvancedTCA applications, the bus pull-up resistance can be quite small. Since there is no effect on the offset due Figure 5 shows the LTC4309 in an application where all of the pins have the same length.
