To ensure reliability of the device, following
common printed-circuit board layout guidelines is recommended.
- The TXB0604 provides bidirectional level translation with symmetrical drive
strength on both ports. Therefore, device placement between the host and
target is not critical, provided the capacitive load on either side remains
within the specified 100pF limit.
- Bypass capacitors must be
used on power supplies, and must be placed as close as possible to the
VCCA, VCCB pin and GND pin.
- Series resistors must be
placed at the device outputs to improve signal integrity and match the total
output impedance to the external transmission path. For example, given that
the device output impedance is 21Ω, a 30Ω series resistor provides an
effective source impedance close to 50Ω, matching a typical
controlled-impedance PCB trace or cable connection.
- During operation, the data
direction changes dynamically between the host and the target device. A
direction-change delay (tDCW) must be provided before the bus
switches direction between the host and target device. Ensure that the delay
between direction changes meets the tDCW requirement listed in
the Switching Characteristics table. In QSPI applications, this delay
corresponds to dummy clock cycles inserted between the command/address and
data phases to satisfy the required turn-around time.
