August 2, 2007[Ideas For Design] Analog Switch Connects One I2C Bus Master To Multiple SFP Modules
Telecom and data-communications equipment commonly use small-formfactor pluggable (SFP) modules for the physical-layer interface. Also common in these systems is an I2C bus for the management data input/output (MDIO) interface. But when several SFP modules are used, they all have the same I2C address. As a result, they can't all connect to the same I2C bus. To avoid the need for multiple I2C bus masters in that situation, ...
