PRODUCTION DATA
For proper operation, VCCA must always be at least 0.8 V less than VCCB (VCCA + 0.8 ≦ VCCB). The 200 kΩ bias resistor is required to allow Vref_B to regulate the EN input and properly bias the device for translation. A 0.1 µF capacitor is recommended for providing a path from Vref_B to ground for high frequency noise. Vref_B and VI(EN) are recommended to be 1.0 V higher than Vref_A for best signal integrity.
Attempting to drive the EN pin directly with a push-pull output device is a very common design error with the LSF0101 series of devices. It is also very important to note that current does flow into the A-side voltage supply during normal operation. Not all voltage sources can sink current, so be sure that applicable designs can handle this current. For more design details, see the Understanding the Bias Circuit for the LSF Family video.
