The TXV0108-Q1 not only solves voltage mismatch between interfaces but also solves power sequencing challenges. As shown in Figure 8-3, a multi-core RGMII system with an Ethernet switch may be present in some Ethernet applications. In other applications, there may be a standard Ethernet interface with one MAC and PHY. In either case, it is necessary to power up each device properly. This will prevent the I/O pins from powering up before the core blocks, which can cause in-rush current during power up or bus contention and other malfunctions.
With the TXV0108-Q1 supporting the Ioff-float feature, in-rush current from improper power sequencing can be prevented. When either power supply pin is at 0V or below 100mV, the I/O pins become high impedance until both pins go above 100mV. The high impedance state will prevent any in-rush current from flowing to the opposite side.
