TC7MB3257CFT/FK/FTG
Rise and Fall Times (tr / tf) of the TC7MB3257C I/O Signals
The tr(out) and tf(out) values of the output signals are affected by the CR time constant of the input, which consists of
the switch terminal capacitance (CI/O) and the on-resistance (RON) of the input.
In practice, the tr(out) and tf(out) values are also affected by the circuit’s capacitance and resistance components other
than those of the TC7MB3257C.
The tr(out) / tf(out) values can be approximated as follows. (Figure 3 shows the test circuit.)
tr(out) / tf(out) (approx) = - ( CI/O + CL ) ・ (RDRIVE+ RON) ・ ln ( ( ( VOH – VOL ) – VM) / ( VOH – VOL ) )
Calculation example:
where, RDRIVE is the output impedance of the previous-stage circuit.
tr(out) (approx) = - ( 8.5 + 15 )E-12 ・ ( 120 + 3) ・ ln ( ( ( 4.5 - 0 ) – 2.25 ) / ( 4.5 – 0 ) )
≈ 2.0 ns
Calculation conditions:
VCC = 4.5 V , CL = 15 pF , RDRIVE = 120 Ω (output impedance of the previous IC), VM = 2.25 V (VCC / 2)
Output of the previous IC = digital (i.e., high-level voltage = VCC; low-level voltage = GND)
