ZHCSB70C June 2013 – January 2024 TCA9617A
PRODUCTION DATA
For the TCA9617A to function correctly, all devices on the B-side must be able to pull the B-side below the voltage input low contention level (0.4V). This means that the VOL of any device on the B-side must be below 0.4V for proper operation.
The VOL of a device can be adjusted by changing the IOL through the device which is set by the pull-up resistor value. The pull-up resistor on the B-side must be carefully selected to make sure the logic levels is transferred correctly to the A-side.
The B-side pull-up resistor sizing must also make sure that the rise time is greater than 20ns. Shorter rise times increase the pedestal overshoot shown in Figure 7-2.
