TMP423: DXP and DXN Waveforms

Part Number: TMP423
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: DXP

Tool/software:

Hi Teams,

I’d like to confirm some questions regarding the signals on the DXP and DXN pins when VDD = 3.3V with PNP transistors:

  1. As shown in the waveform below, the signals represent DXP and DXN with respect to VSS. For CH2, does the waveform anomaly circled in red affect the test results?
  2. Regarding question 1, based on your experience, could this anomaly be caused by the layout? (If yes, what are your suggestions for improvement?)
  3. At an ambient temperature of 25°C, what voltage levels for DXP and DXN at High are considered reasonable? If we need to refer to the transistor specifications, which parameters would be the most appropriate reference?
