AM26LV32: VID Logical Output Consult

Part Number: AM26LV32

Hi Team,

For the below red frame logical output part, customer is consulting whether the logical output state will follow previous state here? Or just no-sure that? Thanks.

Best,

Stanley

  • The output state really is undefined. It might be high, or low, or oscillate.

    Many modern transceivers have inputs with a defined output state at VID = 0 V (the undefined range is between −0.2 V and −0.05 V). But there are no quad receivers with this feature.

  • Hi Clemens,

    However, customer tested to find out that the output state is following previous state when VID is between -0.2V and 0.2V. What's the potential reasons here? Pls see below, the yellow one is VID curve.

  • Hi Stanley,

    The logic table is there to show when we guarantee a logic level. When VID is held in-between -0.2V and 0.2V we don't guarantee what the value will be, and even with this test that the customer has done we still don't recommend holding the bus at -0.2V / 0.2V to ensure proper logic outputs.  

    Please let me know if you have any other questions!

    Best,

  • The input is likely to have some hysteresis. However, there are no guarantees where the switching thresholds might be, except that they are somewhere between −0.2 V and 0.2 V.
