JAJSD11B March 2017 – February 2020 TCA9800
PRODUCTION DATA.
The TCA980x family has no static-voltage offset, which are commonly used in buffered translators to prevent a device lock-up situation where the buffer's own output low could trip the input low threshold. The removal of the static voltage offset is significant because it allows the device to have low a low VOL on the B side, which helps prevents communication issues that arise from connecting a static-voltage offset output device to an input with an input low threshold which is below the static voltage VOL.
