TL7705A: TL7705A reset threshold voltage not correct at 4.55V, but only 4V

Part Number: TL7705A

Hi

We use TL7705A ( replace M51954A) for a dedicated CCLINK Protocol chip.

The CCLINK protocol chip is effective at high level, and the delay time is 3.3ms at Min, TL7705 can satisfy this application condition from datasheet. But there is a problem when we measure,the reset threshold voltage not correct at 4.55V, but only 4V. AND after connecting our protocol chip, it is directly raised to 5V, always 5V.

If we chande the resisror smaller from 10K to 1K, the Protocol chip can work, but the low level is 0.9V, not 0V.

Schematic diagram and test waveform as below:

when we change the reset chip, the Protocol chip can work normally.

Is it OK to simply connect the Pull-down 10K Resistor directly to the RESET pin as shown in the picture, while the other pins remain the same? 

the timing diagram shows that the two RESET phase is oppposite,

but when I follow this above circuit, the wave form od R\E\S\E\T\  pin is correct, but the RESTE pin is not right, not the  opposite.

Please help advise this application, thanks! 

  • Hi,

    I would not suggest tying both outputs together.  Depending on the timing of the internal circuits, you can create a shoot-through event between RESET and /RESET.  Remember, the outputs are bipolar so you will see (RESET = VDD-VCESAT) or  (/RESET = GND + VCESAT).

    Before you connect the output to the microcontroller, does the TL7705A operate correctly?  I would check if the output changes logic state when VDD > 4.55V.  One thing to note, the slew rate of VDD can affect the turn-on threshold voltage.  Try using a DC power supply and ramp up VDD slowly to measure the turn-on threshold voltage. 

    What is the input structure to the protocol chip?  Is the input high-impedance?
