DS16F95QML-SP: design guidelines for DS16F95QML-SP when powered at 5V but interfaced with 3.3V MCU + Single event effects test documentation

Part Number: DS16F95QML-SP
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: DS16F95QML

Hello. 

We need help for DS16F95QML  : 

  • Could you provide design guidelines for use case where supply is 5V , but logic control is 3.3V for MCU ? Will there be contention ( if clamping diodes are presents on the single ended logic I/O ) between the 3.3V and 5V domains ? Can we directly connect the  Ro pin through a resistor divided to the MCU ? Can we directly send the MCU 3.3V digital pin to the DI pin ? Same questions applies for controls of the chipset.
  • Could you provide us with the single event effects documentation regarding the testing of the chipset ?

Thank you very much and have a great day.

  • Could you provide design guidelines for use case where supply is 5V , but logic control is 3.3V for MCU ?

    Page 7 of datasheet shows ViL/ViH logic thresholds (labeled "DC - Both Driver and Receiver Electrical Characteristics")

    So any MCU outputs to the DS16F95QML inputs should be fine. 

    Will there be contention ( if clamping diodes are presents on the single ended logic I/O ) between the 3.3V and 5V domains ?

    You shouldn't see any clamping diodes conduct if the input voltages to our device don't exceed the recommended operating conditions.

    Can we directly connect the  Ro pin through a resistor divided to the MCU ?

    Yes, this is fine.

    Can we directly send the MCU 3.3V digital pin to the DI pin ?

    Yes, our device uses TTL levels so if the MCU can drive below 0.8V and above 2V our device can detect the high and low levels.

    Could you provide us with the single event effects documentation regarding the testing of the chipset ?
