TXS0108E: Expected maximum capacitive load

Part Number: TXS0108E
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TXB0108,

HI team,

Does TXS0108E has the expected maximum capacitive load? TXB0108 has it, so I assume TXS0108E also has it. My customer plans to replace TXS0108E from TXB0108.

  • Section 7.3.3 of the TXS datasheet says:

    The one-shot circuits have been designed to stay on for approximately 30ns. The maximum capacitance of the lumped load that can be driven also depends directly on the one-shot duration. With very heavy capacitive loads, the one-shot can time-out before the signal is driven fully to the positive rail. The one-shot duration has been set to best optimize trade-offs between dynamic ICC, load driving capability, and maximum bit-rate considerations. Both PCB trace length and connectors add to the capacitance of the TXS0108E output. Therefore, TI recommends that this lumped-load capacitance is considered to avoid one-shot retriggering, bus contention, output signal oscillations, or other adverse system-level affects.

    It does not mention a limit, but 70 pF is a good estimate. (With higher capacitances, the maximum data rate gets much lower; for slow protocols like I²C, this would not matter.)

  • Hi Clemens-san,

    Thank you for the answer. one-shot circuit of TXS0108E is 30ns, and one-shot circuit of TXB0108 is 10ns. Therefore, acceptable capacitive load of TXS0108E is three times higher than acceptable capacitive load of TXB0108. 210pF. What do you think?

  • I do not know if the drive strength of the one-short circuit is the same. In any case, the allowed load for the TXS will not be lower than that for the TXB.

  • Hi Clemens-san,

    Thank you for the reply. How do I understand the relationship between the output capacitive load and one-shot duration?
