TCA9517ADGKR

Texas Instruments · Translators / Level Shifters · VSSOP-8-0.65mm

TCA9517ADGKR from Texas Instruments, in a VSSOP-8-0.65mm. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet by ds2sf; symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 VCCA power_in A-side supply voltage (0.9V to 5.5V). Used only to generate the 0.3xVCCA reference for the A-side input comparators and the power-good-detect; device logic and I/Os are powered by VCCB.
2 SCLA bidirectional Serial clock bus, A-side (low-voltage side). Open-drain; connect to VCCA through a pull-up resistor. If unused, tie directly to ground.
3 SDAA bidirectional Serial data bus, A-side (low-voltage side). Open-drain; connect to VCCA through a pull-up resistor. If unused, tie directly to ground.
4 GND power_in Device ground reference.
5 EN input Active-high repeater enable input. Logic thresholds referenced to VCCB (VIH >= 0.7xVCCB, VIL <= 0.3xVCCB); 5.5V tolerant.
6 SDAB bidirectional Serial data bus, B-side (high-voltage side, 2.7V-5.5V). Open-drain; connect to VCCB through a pull-up resistor. If unused, tie directly to ground.
7 SCLB bidirectional Serial clock bus, B-side (high-voltage side, 2.7V-5.5V). Open-drain; connect to VCCB through a pull-up resistor. If unused, tie directly to ground.
8 VCCB power_in B-side and device supply voltage (2.7V to 5.5V). Powers all internal logic and I/Os; the B-side pull-ups and EN input thresholds are referenced to this rail.

Two STEP files. Same geometry, different body top:

File Size Use it when
tca9517adgkr.step 122 KB You want the bare part, or you mark your own boards.
tca9517adgkr-etched.step 2.1 MB You want the part with TCA9517ADGKR already on it.

The marking in the etched file is real recessed geometry cut into the solid, not a texture or a decal: 540 faces against 147 in the bare model. It survives export, section views, and rendering in any CAD tool, and it drops straight into KiCad or Fusion with no extra setup.

Provenance

Data extracted from the manufacturer datasheet, not a distributor listing:

  • Datasheet: Texas Instruments datasheet (31 pp, sha256 ad2d7dc599458300, retrieved 2026-08-17, tier: manufacturer)
  • Extractor: ds2sf (Claude). Every pin and dimension is cited to a datasheet page; it refuses to fabricate.
  • CAD: KiCad official libraries (CC-BY-SA 4.0).
