7.1 Overview

The TXG404x is a 4-bit ground-level translator that uses two individually configurable power-supply rails, which allows it to translate across two different power domains. The device is operational with VCCA and VCCB supplies as low as 1.71V and as high as 5.5V. The A port is designed to track VCCA and the B port is designed to track VCCB. In addition to I/O level shifting, this translator can support a difference of -40V to +40V between GNDA and GNDB. VCCA is referenced to GNDA and VCCB is referenced to GNDB.

The TXG404x device is designed for asynchronous communication between data buses. The TXG404x transmits data with fixed direction from the A bus to the B bus on some channels and from the B bus to the A bus on the remaining channels. The output-enable input (OE) is used to disable the outputs so the buses are effectively isolated. The OE_A pin is referenced to VCCA and OE_B pin is referenced to VCCB. The OE pin can be left floating or externally pulled down to ground to keep the translator outputs in a high-impedance state during power-up or power-down.

The VCC disconnect feature ensures that if VCC is disconnected with the complementary supply within recommended operating conditions, outputs are disabled and set to the high-impedance state while the supply current is maintained. The Ioff-float circuitry is designed so that no excessive current is drawn from or sourced into an input or output while the supply is floating.

Glitch-free power supply sequencing allows for the supply rail to be powered on or off in any order, while providing robust power sequencing performance.
