The maximum operating frequency of the TIL138 is 100 MHz, but it can be limited by the load capacitance and the rise and fall times of the input signals.
To ensure reliable operation of the TIL138 in high-temperature environments, it is recommended to follow proper thermal management practices, such as providing adequate heat sinking and airflow, and ensuring that the device is operated within its specified temperature range.
The recommended input signal rise and fall time for the TIL138 is 10 ns or less to ensure reliable operation and minimize the risk of metastability.
Yes, the TIL138 can be used as a level translator between different voltage domains, but it is recommended to ensure that the input signals are properly conditioned and that the output signals are properly terminated to prevent signal reflections and oscillations.
It is recommended to power up the TIL138 in a controlled manner, such as by using a power-up reset signal, to ensure that the device is properly initialized and that the outputs are in a known state. Similarly, it is recommended to power down the device in a controlled manner to prevent unwanted output transitions.
