8.4.1 Layout Guidelines

Because the LSF family is a switch-type level translator, the signal integrity is highly related with a pull-up resistor and PCB capacitance condition. Therefore, do as follows:

  • Short the signal trace as short as possible to reduce capacitance and minimize stub from the pull-up resistor.
  • Place the LSF device as close to the high voltage side as possible.
  • Select the appropriate pull-up resistor that applies to translation levels and the driving capability of the transmitter.
