  • RE: TXB0302: Can the two channels support I2C 400K conversion at the same time?

    TXB devices cannot handle open-drain signals, as used by I²C.

    For I²C, use the TXS0102 or LSF0102.

  • RE: LSF0101: How to simulate with LSF0101 PSPICE Transient Model in HSPICE

    Hi Chad

    Thanks for sharing the model. I was able to simulate with this. Please find attached foil with simulation result summary. 

    Please note that for the bus where we need the level translator, there is always a pull down (225Ohms to 650ohms) on the…

  • RE: LSF0101: Level translator for PECI interface from 1.05V to 1.8V

    Hi Dylan

    Thanks for your suggestion. I missed to add earlier that our requirement is for auto-bidirectional voltage translator. The AXC family has directional control.

    I'm also checking TXB0302 if it meets our voltage level requirements. There are two…

  • RE: TXB0108: TXB0108 pullup/down resistor issue

    The TXB0302/‌TXB0304 allow 20 kΩ resistors.

    That limit is a consequence of the weak output drivers, which are necessary to allow other devices to override the voltage level, which is necessary to allow the automatic direction sensing. The TXB010x…

  • RE: Datasheet questions

    Due to the 1 kΩ resistors in front of the output drivers, the outputs are very weak. (This is required to allow other devices to override the voltage level.) The largest IOL that makes sense is shown in the test conditions for VOL; it is indeed…

    Part Number: TXB0302

    Hello,

    One of my customers has questions on the datasheet for txb0302. Can you please help comment on below items?

      • What is Maximum IOL this device can drive?
        • In that case what is the VOL ( I see datasheet show ,0.2V for IOL of…
  • RE: TXB0304: Power supply recommendation (Datasheet modification from Rev.F to Rev.G)

    Kawai,

    The power sequencing was modified as we had observed higher supply currents (on few devices) when one of the supply was turned off and the other was left turned on. Hence, recommend that either both supplies are ramped down together or within few…

    Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TXB0302

    Hi Team,

    We noticed that power down sequence had been added to the latest TXB0304 datasheet (SCES831G).

    Please allow me to clarify following information to explain customers.

  • TXB0304: Real maximum frequency

    Part Number: TXB0304

    I'm thinking of using TXB0304 plus TXB0302 to translate QSPI signals (clock plus DQ0...DQ3) from 1V5 (host, an FPGA) to 3V3 (could be 2V5 or 1V8 if that helps)

  • RE: TXB0302: TXB0302DQMR

    Lidar,

    The 1K series resistors are included in the IBIS model of the device.

  • RE: TXB0302: TXB0302DQMR

    Is the 1kohm series resistor part of the ibis model? or do i need to add it at the output of the model?

    i uploaded the simulation results

  • RE: TXB0302: TXB0302DQMR

    Hi Lidar,

    There are usually no recommendations on the series resistors which are required as per the system design and board performance.
    Usually, the series resistors help in suppressing the overshoots/undershoots and impedance matching.
  • RE: TXB0302: TXB0302DQMR

    The TXB has 1 kΩ series resistors (which are required for automatic direction sensing).

    It should never be necessary to add even more impedance. What resistor did you add?
  • TXB0302: TXB0302DQMR

    Part Number: TXB0302

    Hello,

    Does the component include series resistor for reducing overshoots?

    When i simulate the device with its ibis model, i see high overshoot which can be resolved by adding a series resistor.

    In case a resistor is part of the component…

  • RE: TXS0104E: clock signal drop compensation

    KR,

    Is this required only for the CLK line or for the data line as well?
    TXB0302 might work in your case. This has an internal 1K series resistor and the ~17k resistor might be able to hold the line high enough for detection. according to my calculation…
  • RE: TXB0302: Driving ability of TXB0302

    Gino,
    As Clemens mentioned, the device is rated for the Voh/Vol at 20uA. Beyond 20uA, the datasheet electrical specs cannot be guaranteed.
    The lower 1K series resistor in the TXB0302 can achieve higher Voh and lower Vol as compared to using TXB0102(which…
  • RE: TXB0302: Driving ability of TXB0302

    The datasheet guarantees that voltage drop at 20 μA. If you try to draw more current, the voltage drop can become arbitrarily high. (Also see the resistors in figure 1.)
  • RE: TXB0302: Driving ability of TXB0302

    Hi ShreyasRao,

    Datasheet(ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS) show IOH and IOL as test condition, but does it mean TXB0302 only provide 20 μA?
    My expectation is datasheet tell me the maximum IO TXB0302 can provide without distortion. In this case DMIC module…

  • RE: TXB0302: Driving ability of TXB0302

    Hi,

    You could also consider using the 2N7001T or the SN74AXC1T45((single channel unidirectional translator) for 3.3 <>1.8V signal levels.
  • RE: TXB0302: Driving ability of TXB0302

    Hi ,

    Please refer to the electrical characteristics in the datasheet (Voh and Vol) with the listed IOH and IOL current specs.

  • RE: TXB0302: Driving ability of TXB0302

    I do not see the drive strength in data sheet.Could you tell me where you found that?
  • RE: TXB0302: Driving ability of TXB0302

    The TXB allows automatic bidirectional translation. Therefore, it has deliberately weak output drivers to allow other devices to override the voltage level.

    As shown in the datasheet, its drive strength is only 20 μA.

    A unidirectional translator, or a…
