SNOSDI4 March 2024 TLV1872
PRODMIX
The TLV187x features a push-pull output stage capable of both sinking and sourcing current. This allows driving loads such as LED's and MOSFET gates, as well as eliminating the need for a power-wasting external pull-up resistor. The push-pull output must never be connected to another output.
Directly shorting the output to the supply rails can result in thermal runaway and eventual device destruction. If output shorts are possible, a series current limiting resistor in series with the output is recommended to limit the power dissipation.
Unused push-pull outputs must be left floating, and never tied to a supply, ground, or another output.
