10 Power Supply Recommendations

There are no power sequence requirements for the LSF0108-Q1. For enable and reference voltage guidelines,

refer to Section 9.2.1.1.1.

11 Layout

11.1 Layout Guidelines

Because the LSF0108-Q1 is a switch-type level translator, the signal integrity is highly related with a pull-up

resistor and PCB capacitance condition.

• Short signal trace as possible to reduce capacitance and minimize stub from pull-up resistor.

• Place LSF close to high voltage side.

• Select the appropriate pull-up resistor that applies to translation levels and driving capability of transmitter.
