SNVSAV2B January 2018 – November 2019 TLV6700
PRODUCTION DATA.
In a typical TLV6700-Q1 application, the outputs are connected to a GPIO input of the processor (such as a digital signal processor [DSP], central processing unit [CPU], field-programmable gate array [FPGA], or application-specific integrated circuit [ASIC]).
The TLV6700-Q1 device provides two open-drain outputs (OUTA and OUTB). Pullup resistors must be used to hold these lines high when the output goes to high impedance (not asserted). By connecting pullup resistors to the proper voltage rails, the outputs can be connected to other devices at the correct interface-voltage levels. The TLV6700-Q1 outputs can be pulled up to 18 V, independent of the device supply voltage. By using wired-OR logic, OUTA and OUTB can merge into one logic signal that goes low if either outputs are asserted because of a fault condition.
Table 2 and the Inputs (INA+, INB–) section describe how the outputs are asserted or deasserted. See Figure 1 for a timing diagram that describes the relationship between threshold voltages and the respective output.
