TXS0104E: TXS0104ERGYR

Part Number: TXS0104E
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TXB0104

I am using the TXS0104ERGYR BIDIRECTIONAL translator. One side Vcca = 1.8V (driven as a GPIO pin from a iMX7 processor), other side of TXS part is 3.3V for local devices.  

The Voh (min) from iMX7 is 1.44V.

The Vih (min) to TXS part is "Vcca - 0.2V" = 1.6V. I am worried this may cause a "high" from the iMX7 not be pass thru the translator. See data sheet 6.3 Recommended Operating Condition".

I am surprised that the TXS part requires Vih just 0.2V from the 1.8V rail - Is this correct? How can I correct this? I have looked at other TI parts, - I do not want to look at other voltage translation parts that require external pull-up on each I/O pins. 

Thanks

  • Hi Buck,

    Since you are connecting our device to a push pull driver, you could use the TXB0104 in this application. The TXS0104 is better suited from open-drain drivers like you would see with I2C interfaces. The TXB0104 doesn't require you to use external pull-ups/pull-downs.

    On a side note that Voh (min) value probably has some output current condition, which I don't believe will be met if you are driving other CMOS inputs. So I wouldn't expect it to drop much from 1.8 V.
