| FFF Compatibility | Verified 16-TSSOP package with identical pin assignments (Pins 1-16 map exactly to the same functions including A0-A2, RESET, SDA/SCL, and SC0/SD0 to SC3/SD3).Standard 16-TSSOP package with identical outer and pitch dimensions.Matches all primary electrical specifications, clock frequency, active-low reset, and the wide 1.65V to 5.5V operating voltage. | Identical 16-TSSOP pinout mapping (verified pin-by-pin).Standard 16-TSSOP package with the same dimensions.Supply voltage range is narrower (2.3V to 5.5V) compared to the TCA version (1.65V to 5.5V). | ||
 AI Summary | TCA9546APWR by Texas Instruments: Bus Switch 2 x 1:4 16-TSSOP. | This is a highly reliable, wide-voltage drop-in replacement from Diodes Inc. It matches the original part's electrical limits, including the low-voltage 1.65V minimum, making it suitable for systems powered by a 1.8V rail.
| This is Texas Instruments' previous-generation equivalent. While it is pinout-compatible and physically identical, its supply voltage (VCC) must be at least 2.3V, so it is incompatible in designs where VCC is supplied by a 1.8V rail.
