Hi Team,

In the datasheet it says:

My question are：

1.What does "Simultaneous up and down translation is supported when both VCCA and VCCB are at least 1.40 V" mean?

2. When VCCA=1.8V and VCCB=1.2V, can the signal be transferred from B to A for bits 1:4 and A to B for bits 5:8?

Best Regards,

Hao

Hello Hao,

"Simultaneous up and down translation is supported when both VCCA and VCCB are at least 1.40 V" which means that if for example VCCA = 1.8V and VCCB = 3.3V then signal can be transferred from B to A for bits 1:4 and A to B for bits 5:8.

This means that if you are trying to translate from B to A for bits 1:4 and A to B for bits 5:8 and VCCB is 1.2V then this will not be guaranteed by the datasheet specs. This is because VCCB is not at least 1.4V.

Thanks!

Hi Karan,

Does it mean that if VCCA or VCCB is under 1.4V, data can only translate from A to B or B to A for all bits 1:8?

Best Regards,
Hao

Hello Hao,

Yes, if VCCA or VCCB is under 1.4V then the datasheet only guarantees translation from A to B or B to A for all bits 1:8.

Thanks!
