TXB0106: Output Current in the operating condition

Part Number: TXB0106

The TXB0106 is having the maximum continuous output  current of 50mA in the absolute maximum ratings. I would like to get the info of the output current (typical) in the operating condition. The Vccb will be at 5V and Vcca will be 3.3V.

  • Hey Eldho,

    If you are looking for a device providing DC drive strength, auto-bidirectional translators such as this will not be the best option. The TXB0106's typ. output drive is very little, (denoted by IOH/ IOL values in datasheet). Note the output drive of this device is reduced by the internal 4kohm series resistors at the outputs intentionally in order to support the auto-bidirectional functionality. 

    Instead, please see similar 6-ch fixed direction translators from this TI landing page

    Regards,

    Jack

  • Hi Jack,

    Thanks for the info. For me I need to have a bidirectional translator. I would like to get a part with a drive strength above 25mA. Will you be able to suggest a part for that.

  • Auto-bidirectional translators do not have a high drive strength because they must allow other devices to override the voltage.

    What is the actual problem you're trying to solve?
