DS90LT012AQ-Q1: Customer want to add a pull up 2.4V output, is it ok?

Jon WANG

Part Number: DS90LT012AQ-Q1

Tool/software:

The customer is using DS90LT012AQMF∝PB on U13, and the minimum output short-circuit current in datasheet is also above 15mA. Customer will then add a pull up 2.4V output, with a current of -2.4/400=-6mA, May Customer ask if it can be used in this way and if it will cause damage to the chip?Thanks.

The absolute maximum ratings allow up to 100 mA, so 6 mA will not damage the device. But for currents above 2 mA, V_OL is no longer guaranteed.

The Ro pin outputs 3.3 V when high. Why is the pull-up to a lower voltage? Is this an attempt at level shifting?

Hello,

As long as the datasheet parameters are followed there should be no damage to the device.

However, as Clemens mentions, it would best to select a 2.5V compatible device if 2.5V out is desired.

Please refer to this application for receiver options with integrated level shifting: Level Shift No More: Support Low Voltage I/O Signals into a FPGA, Processor, or ASIC (Rev. A)

Thanks, Amy
