PCA9541 – Gatekeeper Multiplexer<br />
• The PCA9541/03 acts as <strong>the</strong> gatekeeper to each card that have identically I 2 C<br />
addressed EEPROMs. The master turns each uniquely addressed PCA9541/03<br />
on (master 0) and off, one at a time, to communicate with <strong>the</strong> EEPROMs.<br />

• The alternative is to use a PCA9548 to 1 to 8 multiplexer on <strong>the</strong> master card and<br />
<strong>the</strong>n run 8 <strong>I2C</strong> buses, one to each EEPROM card. You use <strong>the</strong> same number of<br />
card pins but have 8 times <strong>the</strong> number of traces on <strong>the</strong> backplane.<br />
