Live Insertion and Capacitance Buffering Application
Figures 3 illustrates applications of the LTC4301 with
different bus pull-up and V
CC
voltages, demonstrating its
ability to recognize and buffer bus data levels that are
above or below its V
CC
supply. All of these applications
take advantage of the LTC4301’s Hot Swap

controlling,
capacitance buffering and precharge features. If the I/O
cards were plugged directly into the backplane without the
LTC4301 buffer, all of the backplane and card capaci-
tances would add directly together, making rise- and fall-
time requirements difficult to meet. Placing an LTC4301

on the edge of each card, however, isolates the card
capacitance from the backplane. For a given I/O card, the
LTC4301 drives the capacitance of everything on the card
and the backplane must drive only the capacitance of the
LTC4301, which is less than 10pF.
In most applications the LTC4301 will be used with a
staggered connector where V
CC
and GND will be long pins.
SDA and SCL are medium length pins to ensure that the
V
CC
and GND pins make contact first. This will allow the
precharge circuitry to be activated on SDA and SCL before

they make contact. CS is a short pin that is pulled up when
not connected. This is to ensure that the connection
between the backplane and the cards data and clock
busses is not enabled until the transients associated with
live insertion have settled.
Figure 4 shows the LTC4301 in a CompactPCI
TM
configu-
ration. The LTC4301 receives its V
CC
voltage from one of
the long “early power” pins. Because this power is not
switched, add a 5 to 10 resistor between V
CC
of the
LTC4301 and the connector V
CC
pin. Establishing early
power V
CC
ensures that the 1V precharge voltage is
present at SDAIN and SCLIN before they make contact.
The CS pin is driven by the CompactPCI’s BD_SEL# pin
using a short pin. This is to ensure that a connection is not
enabled until the transients associated with live insertion
have settled.
Figure 5 shows the LTC4301 in a PCI application where all
of the pins have the same length. In this case, an RC filter
circuit on the I/O card with a product of 10ms provides a

Repeater/Bus Extender Application
Users who wish to connect two 2-wire systems separated
by a distance can do so by connecting two LTC4301s
back-to-back as shown in Figure 6. The I
2
C specification
allows for 400pF maximum bus capacitance, severely
limiting the length of the bus. The SMBus specification
places no restriction on bus capacitance, but the limited
impedances of devices connected to the bus require
systems to remain small if rise- and fall-time specifica-
tions are to be met. Using the LTC4301 allows the capaci-
tance to be isolated into smaller sections, enabling the

system to meet rise- and fall-time requirements. In this
situation, the differential ground voltage between the two
systems may limit the allowed distance, because valid
logic low voltage with respect to the ground at one end of
the system may violate the allowed V
OL
specification with
respect to the ground at the other end. In addition, the
connection circuitry offset voltages of the back-to-back
LTC4301s add together, directly contributing to the same
problem.
Systems with Supply Voltage Droop
In large 2-wire systems, the V
CC
voltages seen by devices
at various points in the system can differ by a few hundred
millivolts or more. This situation is well modelled by a series
resistor in the V
CC
line as shown in Figure 7. For proper
operation, make sure that the V
CC(LTC4301)
is 2.7V.
