Description
PCA9548A I2C 8 Channel Mux Module
The PCA9548A I2C 8 Channel Multiplexer Module is an I2C bus expansion board that allows a single microcontroller to communicate with up to eight separate I2C devices or buses. It is especially useful when multiple I2C devices share the same address and cannot operate together on a single bus. The module uses the PCA9548A/TCA9548A multiplexer IC to selectively route communication between the master controller and connected sensors or peripherals. It supports voltage translation, multiple address configurations, and high-speed I2C communication, making it ideal for sensor networks, embedded systems, robotics, and automation projects.
