I2C multiplexer for microcontrollers
The Adafruit TCA9548A is a 1-to-8 I2C multiplexer that lets one microcontroller communicate with up to eight devices sharing the same fixed address. It operates at 3 V or 5 V logic levels, making it compatible with a wide range of development boards. The multiplexer itself sits at address 0x70, adjustable up to 0x77, so multiple boards can coexist on the same bus.
Integration into a project
The board requires only the two I2C lines plus power and ground from the host controller. Selecting a channel is done by writing a single byte to the multiplexer address, after which all subsequent I2C traffic is routed to that output. This frees the designer from address conflicts without adding extra microcontrollers or complex bus-switching circuitry.
Channel selection and address flexibility
Writing one byte to the multiplexer instantly redirects the bus to the chosen channel, simplifying firmware for multi-sensor arrays. The adjustable base address from 0x70 to 0x77 allows several multiplexers to share the same two-wire bus, expanding the total number of addressable devices well beyond eight.

この商品に関する質問
How many I2C devices with identical addresses can the TCA9548A multiplexer connect to one microcontroller?
Up to eight same-address I2C devices can be connected through the 1-to-8 multiplexer channels.
What logic voltage levels does the TCA9548A board support for continuous operation?
The board is 3 V and 5 V compliant, so it works with either logic level without extra level shifting.
Which I2C address does the multiplexer itself use, and can it be changed if another device occupies that address?
The multiplexer defaults to address 0x70 and can be adjusted between 0x70 and 0x77 to avoid conflicts.
