TXS02612: About VIH threshold

Part Number: TXS02612

Hi,

Could you tell me about TXS02612 VIH threshold.
The following contents are described in the data sheet.



However, the SD card standard is generally below.



・TXS02612 : VIH(min)=Vcc-0.2V(@IIH=2uA)

Vcc=3.3V ⇒ VIH(min)=3.1V

・SD card standard : VOH(min)=0.75×Vcc(@IOH=-2mA)
Vcc=3.3V ⇒ High Level(min)=2.475V

Customers think TXS02612 can not clear the standard.
Could you give me your advice?

Best Regards,
Yusuke/Japan Disty

  • Hello Yusuke-san,
    From the statement above, the SD card standard requires on output impedance of (3.3-2.475)/0.002 <= 412.5 ohms

    When operating at 2 uA (as per the TXS02612 data in the message above), assuming the same (awful) driver with an impedance of 412.5 ohms, the input voltage would be:

    3.3 - (412.5*0.000002) = 3.299 V

    I don't see any problem with this.

    Additionally, most system drivers have _much_ lower impedance and will not have anywhere near the drop described in the standard. It is common to see output drivers with 10 to 25 ohm impedances.
