{"product_id":"sparkfun-qwiicbus-midpoint","title":"SparkFun QwiicBus - MidPoint","description":"\u003cdiv id=\"description-tab\" class=\"tab-pane fade\" role=\"tabpanel\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-sm-12\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe SparkFun QwiicBus MidPoint works in tandem with the QwiicBus Endpoint so you can extend the range of your I\u003csup\u003e2\u003c\/sup\u003eC bus and easily tap into it to drop in devices wherever you would like. The QwiicBus uses NXP’s PCA9615 IC, which converts the two default I\u003csup\u003e2\u003c\/sup\u003eC signals into four differential signals, two for SCL and two for SDA.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe differential signals sent over Ethernet cables from the EndPoint connect to the breakout through the onboard RJ-45 connectors. The differential signalling allows the I\u003csup\u003e2\u003c\/sup\u003eC signals to reach distances of up to 100ft. while still maintaining their signal integrity!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo make it even easier to get your readings, all communication is enacted exclusively via I\u003csup\u003e2\u003c\/sup\u003eC, utilizing our handy Qwiic system so no soldering is required to connect it to the rest of your system. However, we still have broken out 0.1\"-spaced pins in case you prefer to use a breadboard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe simplicity of the PCA9615 used on the QwiicBus boards is one of its biggest appeals. Other I\u003csup\u003e2\u003c\/sup\u003eC communication methods require packetizing I\u003csup\u003e2\u003c\/sup\u003eC communication into another protocol, be it RS-485 or 1-Wire. However, the PCA9615 keeps the I\u003csup\u003e2\u003c\/sup\u003eC protocol by utilizing a differential transceiver.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe MidPoint also features an LMR33630 buck regulator users can enable to source larger amounts of current (up to 3A@3.3V) to devices attached to the MidPoint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGet Started with the Sparkfun QwiicBus Guide\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/0Dbp4Je5NPQ?si=WiOjipDeSFxDMqWq\u0026amp;start=165\" height=\"315\" width=\"560\" allowfullscreen=\"\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" frameborder=\"0\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"features-tab\" class=\"tab-pane fade\" role=\"tabpanel\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-sm-12\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUses the PCA9615 Buffer IC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes the LMR33630 buck regulator for high-power applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI\u003csup\u003e2\u003c\/sup\u003eC Supply voltage range \u003cstrong\u003e2.3-5.5V\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDifferential Supply voltage range \u003cstrong\u003e3-5.5V\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuck Regulator Supply Voltage Range: \u003cstrong\u003e3.6-36V\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMultiple power configurations depending on application needs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2x Qwiic Connectors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2x RJ45 Connectors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eResources\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"documents-tab\" class=\"tab-pane fade\" role=\"tabpanel\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-sm-12\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSchematic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEagle Files\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensional Drawing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHookup Guide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\nDatasheet (PCA9615)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\nDatasheet (LMR33630)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQwiic Info Page\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHardware GitHub Repository\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Sparkfun","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46039360438332,"sku":"zfl1787258129693","price":17.58,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0676\/6985\/2220\/files\/sparkfun-qwiicbus---midpoint_1.jpg?v=1787258137","url":"https:\/\/luxecladstore.shop\/products\/sparkfun-qwiicbus-midpoint","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
