TXB0104: Whether the Pull-up resistance need to be the same

Part Number: TXB0104

Hi Team,

May I ask whether the Pull-up resistance need to be the same? res1 need to be equal to res2 or not?

In customer design, 1.8V for CPU and 3.3V for MCU. the pull-up res recommend in CPU and MCU are not the same. 

They are worried whether it may impact the signal quality and make I2C communication fail.

  • See section 8.3.5 of the datasheet: the only restriction is that pull-ups must be larger than 50 kΩ.

    Please note that the TXB does not work for I²C, and is unlikely to work with long traces or connectors that increase the total capacitance to more than 70 pF.

    The TXS can be used with I²C, and works with any pull-ups. (But It does not need them because it already has internal pull-ups.)

  • Amelie, 

    Yes, Clemens is correct that pullup values (if used) must be large, as the outputs of the device have weak drivers which may not be able to overcome a strong pullup or pulldown.

    Best,
    Michael
