8.3.1 Solving Power Sequencing Challenges with the TXV0108

The TXV0108 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.

Low Dropout (LDO) devices are a common way to power up devices, but they do not provide any power sequencing features. As shown in Figure 8-4, before the 1.8V can be applied to the MAC, the input of the LDO will need to come up first. This will result in the PHY powering up which can lead to in-rush current flowing into the MAC I/O pins.

With the TXV0108 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.
