PCA9306DCTT datasheet by Texas Instruments

PCA9306DCTT Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum frequency of operation for PCA9306DCTT?
  The maximum frequency of operation for PCA9306DCTT is 400 kHz, but it can be operated at higher frequencies with reduced voltage translation.
• How do I ensure signal integrity when using PCA9306DCTT?
  To ensure signal integrity, use a low-ESR capacitor (e.g., ceramic or film capacitor) for decoupling, keep the PCB traces short and away from noise sources, and use a ground plane to reduce noise and EMI.
• Can I use PCA9306DCTT for level shifting between 1.8V and 3.3V?
  Yes, PCA9306DCTT can be used for level shifting between 1.8V and 3.3V. The device can translate voltage levels from 1.2V to 5.5V, making it suitable for a wide range of voltage translation applications.
• What is the maximum current that PCA9306DCTT can sink or source?
  The maximum current that PCA9306DCTT can sink or source is 8mA. However, it's recommended to limit the current to 4mA to ensure reliable operation and minimize power consumption.
• How do I handle ESD protection when using PCA9306DCTT?
  PCA9306DCTT has built-in ESD protection, but it's still recommended to follow proper ESD handling procedures when handling the device, such as using an ESD wrist strap or mat, and storing the device in an ESD-safe environment.
