Perfect for sensor arrays
Works great with Arduino. I was able to connect 8 different I2C sensors without any address conflicts. The build quality is solid.

Good value module
Solid build and functions as expected. Wish the header pins were pre-soldered, but that's a minor inconvenience for the price.

Works as expected
Does exactly what it should. Documentation could be slightly better regarding pull-up resistor values, but overall happy.

Solved my address conflict
Needed this for multiple OLED displays and IMUs. The address pins make it easy to stack multiple multiplexers if needed.
Q: What is the maximum current per channel?
A: Please refer to the TCA9548A datasheet, but typically it handles standard I2C signaling currents suitable for logic switching.
Q: Can I daisy chain multiple multiplexers?
A: Yes, you can connect up to 8 of these modules on the same bus by configuring the A0, A1, and A2 address pins differently.
Q: Are pull-up resistors included on the board?
A: Yes, the module includes necessary pull-up resistors for the I2C lines, so you can connect it directly to your controller.
Q: Is this compatible with Raspberry Pi GPIO?
A: Yes, it works perfectly with Raspberry Pi models using the SMBus or I2C GPIO pins and standard Python libraries.
Q: Is this module compatible with 5V logic levels?
A: Yes, the VCC range is 2.3V to 5.5V, so it works safely with both 3.3V and 5V microcontrollers.
