DESCRIPTION

The 4 channel I2C multiplexer gives you the ability to connect up to four I2C devices that use the same address.  The multiplexer also acts as a level translating device between the Master and Slave devices. 

 

The board comes pre-wired to be used with 5V and 3.3V devices. Since the active low interrupt pins can not be left floating, the board contains onboard 10k ohm pull-up resistors on the interrupt pins. If a lower voltage Slave device is used that uses the interrupt pin, the associated solder jumper trace will need to be cut and a separate pull-up resistor on the interrupt pin will need to be used. 

 

Supply voltage to the VDD pin needs to be set to the lowest voltage IO lines in the system.  As an example, if you are using a 5V microcontroller as a Master and several 3.3V Slave devices then the VDD pin needs to be tied to 3.3 volts.

I recently got this Multiplexer. I was trying to open the Eagle files and it looks like corrupted. Can some one please upload the pdf version of schematic for 4 Lipo Fuel gauge connected to the multiplexer.

Thanks

Hello

Sorry about that. There really is no schematic posted for connecting the MUX. You can email me directly at admin@dsscircui ts.com if you need help wiring your specific application.

Bought two of these and have used them on both the Arduino and NXT. Generally the NXT doesn't need a mux since it has 4 separate I2C ports but we had a case where we had to add more many more sensors with the same address. Worked well as long as you get the pullup resistors right. 82K is what Lego says they want but it worked a little bit better with 100K for me.

That's odd? Typically I2C communication reliability increases as your resistor value decreases. Honestly I'm surprised it works at all with 100k...what bus speed are you running?
