To begin the design process, determine the following:
Input voltage range
Use the supply voltage of the device that is driving the TXS0108E device to determine the input voltage range. For a valid logic high the value must exceed the VIH of the input port. For a valid logic low the value must be less than the VIL of the input port.
Output voltage range
Use the supply voltage of the device that the TXS0108E device is driving to determine the output voltage range.
The TXS0108E device has smart internal pull-up resistors. External pull-up resistors can be added to reduce the total RC of a signal trace if necessary.
An external pull-down resistor decreases the output VOH and VOL. Use Equation 1 to calculate the VOH as a result of an external pull-down resistor.
