TS3L4892: what's the mean of the parameter Vi/o?

Part Number: TS3L4892
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TS3L500, TS3L301,

Hi:

    TI's technical support engineer.

    I want to chose TS3L4892 from the following three GE switches:TS3L4892, TS3L301 and TS3L500. But the parameter Vi/o of TS3L4892 is different from others. Vi/o Input/output voltage, 4892 is 0 to VCC, 500 and 301 are 0 to 5.5V, So I want to know what this parameter means.

    Hi user5041186,

    I will help clarify this issue for you. The Vi/o spec is given in the recommended operation conditions as the input/output voltage recommended for safe operation of the switch.

    For the TS3L4892: the spec is listed as "0→Vcc" where Vcc is listed as a max of 3.6V. That means the recommended max Vi/o for this device is 3.6V
    Both the TS3L301 and the TS3L500 are "0→5.5V" with a Vcc of 3.6V. This means these two devices can be operated at 3.6V Vcc but have an Input/Output voltage of up to 5.5V and stay within the recommended operating condition.

    If your input/output voltage exceeds 3.6V I would recommend not using the TS3L4892 since you would be operating outside of normal spec.

    Hi Dakotah,

    First of all, thank you very much for your reply,I understand your explanation and have another question:the absolute maximum voltage of Vi/o is about 7V, and when the I/O pin is connected to the backplane signal, I would like to know, if hot swap, whether the impact on the chip TS3L4892, or even damage.Do you have a recommended solution for this situation?

    Thanks.

    Hi,

    You're welcome for the response. Regarding the hot swap issue, this device does not support hot swap protection. A common issues caused by a hot swap is a large transient voltage above abs. max. To overcome this you can evaluate the use of a TVS diode to suppress any large transient voltage at your input.
