LMK1D2108: LMK1D2108

Part Number: LMK1D2108

What is the output state or behavior when the inputs are floating or at least are not toggling?  Are they held at certain levels, held at their previous levels, or something else?

Section 8.3.1 of the January 2022 datasheet talks about the "Fail-Safe Input" feature, which implies that if the inputs are floating the part won't oscillate, which I assume means the outputs will not toggle.  If you could confirm that would be helpful, if it's possible to say the exact state of the outputs when inputs are floating/not toggling, that would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Andy

  • Hi Andy, 

    When the inputs are floating, the outputs will be in a logic low state meaning the OUTP voltage will be VOL, and the OUTN voltage will be VOH. Let me know if this answers your question.

  • Thanks Connor.  What if the differential inputs are just stopped, with INx_P at Vil or Vih, and INx_N at the opposite signal level?

    Thanks,

  • Hi Andy, 

    The outputs will match the logic state of the input, for example:

    INx_P = VIH, INx_N = VIL: OUTx_P = VOH, OUTx_N = VOL (logic high on both the input and output)

    INx_P = VIL, INx_N = VIH: OUTx_P = VOL, OUTx_N = VOH (logic low on both the input and output) 

    If the input is floating, it will be treated the same as a logic low. There's also some hysteresis on the input so if it's left floating the output won't accidentally toggle. 

    Regards,
