About Ii and Ioz of AM335x

Guru 10570 points

Hello,

I have refered DC Electrical Characteristics on AM335x datasheet Table 3-11 (sprs717e: P87-P90).
There is a description of Ii and Ioz.

1. What is the difference between Ii and Ioz?
  I think that:
   - The Ii means leakage current of Input pin.
   - The Ioz means leakage current of Output pin, I/O pin.
  Is my thinking correct?

2. What is the meaning of "Receiver disabled" on Ii?
   Is it RXACTIVE field setting of Pad conf register?

   I do not understand the meaning of leakage current when receiver is disabled.

Best regards, RY

  • Hi RY,
     
    1.  II  is input leakage current with receiver disabled.
         IOZ is total leakage current through the terminal connection of a driver-receiver combination that may include a pullup or pulldown, with the driver output disabled and 
                the pullup or pulldown inhibited.
     
    2. Receiver disabled means as you say the RXACTIVE field setting of Pad conf register.

    Thank you for your reply.

    I am sorry. I have not been able to understand above meaning.

    I think that the "driver-receiver conbination" means I/O pin.
    Right?

    And, I think that the "with the driver output disabled" means the I/O pin is not driven any signal.
    Right?

    Best regards, RY

  • Hi RY,
     
    "Driver-receiver combination" means the output driver/input receiver I/O buffer, that's right.
    "With the driver output disabled" means that the output diver is tri-stated.
  • Biser-san,

    Great thanks!!
    I am very sorry for my late response.
