Driver requirement
For proper operation, the driver from each side of the device must have the capability to
source and sink a minimum of 1mA current. The device architecture requires the driver to
source/sink a maximum current of (V
Load driving capability
To support the architecture that allows level translation without direction pin, the one-shot
transistor is turned on only during state transition at the output side. After the one-shot
transistor is turned off, only the 4 kΩ resistor maintains the state. So, resistive load or pull-up
resistor less than 50 kΩ is not recommended for a proper operation.
Power off feature
In some applications, where it might be required to turn off one of the power supplies
powering up the level translator, the device is automatically disabled when V
turned off, even if the OE pin is set to HIGH (enabled). In this mode, all I/Os are in high
impedance state.
