I am seeing short circuits on my LSF0204 is my design. Is it possible that there is too much current running through the device?

Hi David,
The application seems to be pulling the A-ports to Vref_A. What would you like the A-ports to be (as opposed to Vref_A)? Thanks.
Best Regards,
Michael.
Hi Michael,
I am concerned, because my output ports to are short-circuited to Vref A. I need to know, is the pull-up resistance too strong?
Hi David,
Yes, depending on how much current is being driven as the pull-up resistor is dependent on your driver's drive strength. Please see below and section 10.2.1.2.1.1 of the datasheet to help size the pull-up, thanks.

Best Regards,
Michael.
Hi Michael,
So according to this, the minimum resistance is 97 Ohm for 1.8 V and 197 Ohm for 3.3 V; is 301 Ohm OK?
No; that table is misleading. You can choose any pull-up resistor value. However, if the value is too large, you rising edges will become too slow, and if the value is too small, your other devices might not have enough drive strength to achieve a suitable VOL, and you waste power.
Hi David,
In addition to Clemens' feedback; please help refer to section 10.2.1.2.1.1 of the datasheet as this would be dependent on the drive strength and it's VOL as well, thanks.
Best Regards,
Michael.
