AM2432: LVCMOS IOL

Part Number: AM2432

Hi Team,

My customer has a question below regarding LVCMOS.

  1. About 7.7.7 LVCMOS Electrical Characteristics 3.3-V MODE in datasheet.
    The table says.
    MIN value of IOL is 5mA, and MIN value of IOH is 9mA
    Are those correct?
    It seems that they means sink or source current value of logic output pin. Generally MAX values are defined for those parameters. Am I correct?

Best regards,

Mari Tsunoda

  • Hey Mari,

    The following note has been added for the next release of the datasheet:

    The IOL and IOH parameters define the minimum Low Level Output Current and High Level Output Current for which the device is able to maintain the specified VOL and VOH values. Values defined by these parameters should be considered the maximum current available to a system implementation which needs to maintain the specified VOL and VOH values for attached components.

    Does this note properly address any confusions?

    Best Regards,

    Zackary Fleenor

  • Thanks Zack!

    Marked as resolved.
