TRS3227E: Rout state in FORCEOFF

Jon Torgeir Honne

Part Number: TRS3227E

Hi. I am planning to connect two TRS3227E in parallel and use FORCEOFF to disable one in a multiplexing scheme. For this to work, the CMOS side must be in a high impedance state. What is the impedance of the Rout CMOS output pin when the device is forced off (FORCEOFF=0)?

Hi Jon,

Thanks for reaching out on E2E.

It should be high-impedance, but let me double check and get back to you.

Best,

Ethan

Jon,

I wasn't able to get an exact confirmation, but my colleagues agree it should be high impedance. Our other RS-232 transceivers specifically call out that ROUT will be high impedance when Forceoff=low, and there would be no reason for this device to be different. So you should be fine to connect two ROUT pins together.

Best,

Ethan

Thanks Ethan, I'll go with that.

Cheers,
