APPLICATIONS
Bi-directional translation
For the bi-directional clamping configuration, higher voltage to lower voltage or lower voltage to higher voltage, the GREF input must be
connected to DREF and both pins pulled to high side VCC through a pull-up resistor (typically 200 kΩ). A filter capacitor on DREF is
recommended. The processor output can be totem pole or open drain (pull up resistors may be required) and the chipset output can be totem
pole or open drain (pull up resistors are required to pull the Dn outputs to VCC). However, if either output is totem pole, data must be
uni-directional or the outputs must be 3-statable and the outputs must be controlled by some direction control mechanism to prevent high to low
contentions in either direction. If both outputs are open drain, no direction control is needed. The opposite side of the reference transistor (SREF)
is connected to the processor core power supply voltage. When DREF is connected through a 200 kΩ resistor to a 3.3 V to 5.5 V VCC supply
and SREF is set between1.0 V to VCC - 1.5 V, the output of each Sn has a maximum output voltage equal to SREF and the output of each Dn
has a maximum output voltage equal to VCC.
