Buffers manage bus capacitance
Hot-swappable two-wire bus buffers prevent signal corruption during I/O card insertion into live backplanes and provide capacitive isolation per I2C and SMBus specifications.
Linear Technology has expanded its I2C and SMBus bus buffer and rise time accelerator family with the introduction of the LTC4308 and LTC4309 As the number of plug-in boards continues to increase, additive capacitances begin to critically lengthen rise times
