TMUX1574: May both SPI interfaces are running @ 3.3V Logic level but the VDD of TMUX1574 VDD is 5V

Part Number: TMUX1574

Hi TI EE:

              Please help me to  make sure if the below diagram is working or not.

             Both SPI interfaces and SEL, /EN are running @ 3.3V Logic level ,while the VDD of TMUX1574 VDD is 5V.

  • Hi Cheney_Sun,

    The TMUX1574 operates at consistent thresholds for it's logic, this is why it is 1.8V compatible. I've attached the logic levels from pg. 6 of the TMUX1574 datasheet below (VDD range shown here: 1.5V-5.5V) :

    For the TMUX1574 to register a logic high, the minimum voltage on the select pin, with reference to ground, is 1.2V; while the maximum voltage on the select pin  to register a logic low is 0.45V. So as long as the MCU at 3.3V has a VOH >= 1.2V and a VOL <= 0.45V you shouldn't have issues with the application. 

    For more information on logic levels in our MUX's as well as 1.8V logic compatibility please see our Precision Lab Video here and an App Note on 1.8V logic here.

  • The SEL and EN pins are 1.8 V logic compatible, so they will work.

    The four data channels can handle analog signals, so 3.3 V will work. (The TMUX1574 actually allows anything between 0 V and 10 V.)

  • Hi Clemes Ladisch:

                                   Thank you for your reply.Your answer is different with above 's answer.Which one is right?TKS~

  • Both answers say "yes", with varying levels of detail. Nothing in them is contradictory; both are right.

    To allow us to remove any misunderstandings: which point do you think is different?

  • Hi Cheney_Sun,

    Your application as indicated by your diagram should work fine. 

    I agree with what Clemens said, but if you need clarification on any of those points please ask!

    The TMUX1574 is 1.8V compatible. This means that it can be controlled by a MCU that is running off of 1.8V source up to 5.5V. 

    The MCU you are working with is at 3.3V. So if the GPIOs controlling the switch have an Output high of greater or equal to 1.2V and an output low less than or equal to 0.45V the system will behave as expected.

    The switch at 5V VDD can handle VDD x 2 at the input and output a max of VDD. For your application of a 3.3V system at a 5VDD, there should be no issue with the signals passing through the switch.

    If there is anything else I can clarify please let me know.

    Best Regards,
