SN54ALS1034: Grounding the Output of the buffer

Part Number: SN54ALS1034

Can the output of this device be grounded?

The Buffer drives an analog switch , but the analog switch will direct the output signal of the buffer to Gnd or receive the signal.

Please advise.

  • Sean,
    Grounding the output would not be recommended.
    This device does not have a short circuit specification. However, it does have in the recommended operating conditions an Io current that is specified at 1/2 of short circuit current.
    If the duration is short, I would recommend limiting the current to less than the maximum specified 112mA Io current.

    Regards,
    Wade
