NTB0101-Q100
Dual supply translating transceiver; auto direction sensing; 3-state
13.3 Input driver requirements
For correct operation, the device driving the data I/Os of the NTB0101-Q100 must have a
minimum drive capability of 2 mA. See Figure 8
for a plot of typical input current versus
input voltage.
13.4 Power-up
During operation, V
CC(A)
must never be higher than V
CC(B)
. However, during power-up,
V
CC(A)
V
CC(B)
does not damage the device, so either power supply can be ramped up
first. There is no special power-up sequencing required. The NTB0101-Q100 includes
circuitry that disables all output ports when either V
CC(A)
or V
CC(B)
is switched off.
13.5 Enable and disable
An output enable input (OE) is used to disable the device. Setting OE = LOW causes all
I/Os to assume the high-impedance OFF-state. The disable time (t
dis
with no external
load) indicates the delay between when OE goes LOW and when outputs actually
become disabled. The enable time (t
en
) indicates the amount of time the user must allow
for one one-shot circuitry to become operational after OE is taken HIGH. To ensure the
high-impedance OFF-state during power-up or power-down, pin OE should be tied to
GND through a pull-down resistor. The current-sourcing capability of the driver determines
the minimum value of the resistor.
13.6 Pull-up or pull-down resistors on I/O lines
As mentioned previously the NTB0101-Q100 is designed with low static drive strength to
drive capacitive loads of up to 70 pF. To avoid output contention issues, any pull-up or
pull-down resistors used must be above 50 k. For this reason, the NTB0101-Q100 is not
recommended for use in open-drain driver applications such as 1-Wire or I
2
C-bus. For
these applications, the NTS0101-Q100 level translator is recommended.
