 i am trying to read multiple mcp9600 on the nrf9151 on my thingy 91x. I connected 3 of the mcp9600 to my stemma QT connector and it all works fine. 
 However, when i connect a fourth mcp9600 to my i2c bus, the signal on my SDA line completely</description><dc:language>en-US</dc:language><generator>Telligent Community 13</generator><lastBuildDate>Thu, 03 Jul 2025 08:08:16 GMT</lastBuildDate><atom:link rel="self" type="application/rss+xml" href="https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/122668/thingy-91x-i2c-bus-faulting-with-multiple-devices" /><item><title>RE: thingy 91x i2c bus faulting with multiple devices</title><link>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/541280?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Thu, 03 Jul 2025 08:08:16 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:6896c06c-4d85-4e30-9521-fad5d25e5d57</guid><dc:creator>Constantin</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;i removed some of the 10k pull ups from the breakout boards and it works like a charm now!&lt;/p&gt;

I think that this is the behavior of Thingy91x built-in MOSFET I2C level shifter which only works reliably when the pull-ups on each side are kept weak (typically 10 kohm) and the total bus capacitance stays under ~400 pF. By removing the extra pull-ups on your MCP9600 breakouts (so that you only have one 10 kohm on 3.3 V and one on 1.8 V) and keeping the four sensors wired closely (or else splitting them over two busses), the SDA line springs back to life. Alternatively you can re-engineer to a dedicated translator (PCA9306) if you need heavier pull-ups or longer runs.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
