8.1 Overview

The TCA9416 device is a directionless voltage-level translator specifically designed for translating logic voltage levels. The A and B ports are able to accept I/O voltages ranging from 1.08 V to 3.6 V. The device is a pass-gate architecture with edge-rate accelerators (one-shots) to improve the overall data rate. 10-kΩ pull up resistors, commonly used in open-drain applications, have been conveniently integrated so that an external resistor is not needed. When TCA9416 is disabled the one shots are also disabled, but the internal pull ups are still enabled. Pull up resistors are gated on the supply voltage. When supply is above UVLO, the pull up resistor for that specific side (A vs B) is enabled.
