TS5A3166: Input current for IN pin.

Part Number: TS5A3166

Hi,

I see leakage current specs for IN pin in datasheet. Does it mean the current required to drive the IN pin too?

Thanks.

  • YY,

    The TS5A3166 IN pin is the digital control logic pin which determines weather or not the signal path is conducting (low impedance) or Hi-Z. 

    This IN pin is basically connected to an inverter inside the IC. 

    The digital control input leakage spec states that if the IN pin is supplied with 5.5V or 0V <+/-20nA of current will flow in or out of the pin.  Another way you can interpret this spec is that is it is a high impedance buffer and you won't necessarily need a strong driver to toggle the pin.   

    Thank you,
