LSF0102: LSF010x A side threshold: Vref_A or Vref_A - 0.5V

Part Number: LSF0102

Hi, 

In SLVA675B, It says

-        Remember that the LSF device acts as a passive switch when the input signal is below Vref_A – 0.5 V

-        When the input voltage exceeds Vref_A – 0.5 V, the FET turns off and the pullup resistor on the B-side determines the output voltage. Therefore, the designer needs to pull up the B-side to 3.3 V. •

-        The FET begins to turn off when the input voltage exceeds Vref_A – 0.5 V. As discussed earlier, the FET should be on during the input low pulse and off during the input high pulse. Therefore, set Vref_A to 1.8 V.

As above assumption, when down from B to A, the A output should be Vref_A – 0.5V. But in document it says: When translating down from B to A, this allows the A-side voltage to equal Vref_A + VTH – VTH = Vref_A without any pullups.

How to understand this?

Thanks a lot!
