11.1 Layout Guidelines
To ensure reliability of the device, following common printed-circuit board layout guidelines is recommended.
- Bypass capacitors should be used on power supplies. And should be placed as close as possible to the VCCA, VCCB pin and GND pin
- Short trace-lengths should be used to avoid excessive loading.
- For long transmission lines, place a series resistor equivalent to the impedance of the transmission lines to avoid signal integrity issues
- PCB signal trace-lengths must be kept short enough so that the round-trip delay of any reflection is less than the one-shot duration, approximately 10 ns, ensuring that any reflection encounters low impedance at the source driver.
- Pullup resistors are not required on both sides for Logic I/O.
- If pullup or pulldown resistors are needed, the resistor value must be over 20 kΩ.
- 20 kΩ is a safe recommended value, if the customer can accept higher Vol or lower Voh, smaller pull up or pull down resistor is allowed, the draft estimation is Vol = Vccout × 1.5k/(1.5k + Rpu) and Voh = Vccout × Rpd/(1.5k + Rpd).
- If pullup resistors are needed, please refer to the TXS0104 or contact TI.
- For detailed information, refer to application note SCEA043.
