Strange schematic for X-NUCLEO-53L1A1, I2C level shifter

[JWill.12]

Hi,

X-NUCLEO-53L1A1 expansion board uses an IC (ST2329AQTR) to shift the 3.3V I2C bus lines of the MCU to a 2.8V I2C bus for the proximity sensor VL53l1x.

Why are there these strange connections between the 3.3V and 2.8V bus as shown on the schematic of the X-NUCLEO-53L1A1 (see attached file) ?

 

Thanks,

Jeremie

The nominal power supply voltage for VL53I1x is 2.8 V.

I'm aware of that. My question is about the i2c level shifter, from 3.3 to 2.8V. Why are the 2 bus connected? What's the point of the level shifter in that case?

I think the schematic is not correct, the 3.3V and 2.8V buses cannot be connect together (shorted).

Most probably solder bridges are missing in the schematic.

Ok, we agree on that.

Thanks
