TXB0106: Ioff behaviour

Part Number: TXB0106


Hello,

The datasheet states that if VCCA and/or VCCB is unpowered, the pins of the corresponding port are placed in a high-impedance (tri-state) mode to prevent current drain.

If Vccb=0 and Vcca=1.8V, what are the state of port B pins?

If Vcca=1.8V and Vccb ramps down to 0V, what is the voltage threshold at which the I-off protection places the port B pins into a high-impedance state? During this power-down event, the condition VCCA≤VCCB is violated for a certain time.

Thank you

Giuseppe

  • Hi Giuseppe,

    During power up, when either VCCA or VCCB is lower than min operating supply, the outputs are tri-stated. Having VCCB powered off while VCCA is acceptable here, and the excessive current leakage concern for VCCA>VCCB is more applicable during translation operation, which is further documented in this app note: www.ti.com/.../scea060.pdf

  • Hi Jack,

    thank you about that. So when Vccb ramp down during partial power down and Vcca still for example at 1.8V it is expexted a current leakage through the Vcca power supply pin until Ioff circuit disable the chip when Vccb reaches a certain threshold. Do you know threshold value?

    Does Ioff circuit also put in 3-state I/O pins?

    Regards,
