The ST2329 is a 2-bit dual supply level translator
which provides the level shifting capability to allow
data transfer in a multi-voltage system. Externally

ST2329Supplementary notes
3 Supplementary notes
3.1 Driver requirement
The ST2329 may be driven by an open drain or totem pole driver and the nature of the
device’s output is “open drain”. It must not be used to drive a pull-down resistor since the
impedance of the output at HIGH state depends on the pull-up resistor placed at the I/Os.
As the device has pull-up resistors on both the I/O
ensure that the driver is able to sink the required amount of current. For example, if the
settings are V
=5.5V, VL= 4.3 V and the pull-up resistor is 10 kΩ, then the driver must be
CC
able to sink at least (5.5 V/10 kΩ) + (4.3 V /10 kΩ)
requirements of the ST2329.
3.2 Load driving capability
To support the open drain system, the one-shot transistor is turned on only during state
transition at the output side. When it drives a high state, after the one-shot transistor is
turned off, only the pull-up resistor is able to maintain the state. In this case, the resistive
load is not recommended.
During the translation from V
side to VL side, the oscillation might be triggered when the
CC
signal is reflected back as a glitch. This is caused by the architecture of the device (autodirection).
When using the ST2329, care need to be taken in the PCB data-track design and output
loading. It is recommended that the load is less than 25 pf.
3.3 Power off feature
In some applications where it might be required to turn off one of the power supplies
powering up the level translator, the user may turn off the V
(device is disabled). There will be no current consumption in V
other causes, and the I/Os are in a high-impedance state in this mode.
