Abstract

Today’s complex systems have devices operating at multiple voltage nodes that require high-bandwidth, fast-transitions with low-delay. Texas Instruments' TXV family offers options from both the fixed-directional and the general-purpose direction-controlled translation portfolios with the flexibility for high-bandwidth, while avoiding unexpected high and low logic performance issues for applications that can have timing-margin sensitive interfaces. This application note focuses on demonstrating key timing benefits of the TXV family for strict timing applications, using TXV-EVMs.

The application note further describes using the TXV Voltage Translators and Level Shifters versus competitor, for systems with strict timing requirements; such as Reduced Gigabit Media Independent (RGMII) applications.
