SN6505B: Enable pin threshold

Part Number: SN6505B

 

Customer has built product giving the SN6505 5V supply, whilst providing the enable pin 3.3V.

Customer is trying to determine how much exposure they have with this setup.

 What is the typical multiplier for the enable? (0.55x?)

What is the distribution of typical EN threshold?

  • Hi David,

    Thanks for reaching out.

    We typically recommend customer to use the same voltage for both VCC and EN pins to make sure the device can be reliably enabled. Using 3.3V on EN pin while VCC is 5V will lead to the voltage at EN pin that is outside the recommended value, especially when ±10% variation in supply voltages is considered.

    What is the typical multiplier for the enable? (0.55x?)

    Yes, the typical threshold for EN pin is 0.55*VCC.

    What is the distribution of typical EN threshold?

    We typically do not share characterization data or distribution information. Let me know if there is anything else I can help you with, thanks.
