9.4.1.1 B-Side Input Low (VIL/IILC/RILC)

The TCA980x family utilizes the current source on the B side to determine whether an external device is driving the bus low, or if it is driving the bus low itself. As such, there are some parameters that must be met to ensure a successful transmission of a low from the B-side to the A-side. These parameters are listed in Table 3.

Table 3. B-side Input Low-Level Parameters

PARAMETER SHORT DESCRIPTION DETAILED INFORMATION
VIL Low-level input voltage The input voltage that is interpreted as a low. On the B-side, IILC must also be satisfied to maintain a low See the VILC & IILC section
IILC Low-level input current (contention) The minimum amount of current that an external device must be sinking from the TCA980x to transmit a low. VIL must also be satisfied See the VILC & IILC section
RILC Low-level allowed pull-down resistance The maximum allowed pull-down resistance of an external device in order to successful transmit a low See the RILC section
