implementation to confirm system functionality.

8.1 Application Information

LSF0204-Q1 performs voltage translation for open-drain or push-pull interface. Table 8-1 provides examples of

interfaces as reference in regards to the different channel numbers that are supported by the LSF0204-Q1.

8.2.1.1 Design Requirements

8.2.1.1.1 Enable, Disable, and Reference Voltage Guidelines

The LSF0204-Q1 has an EN input that is used to disable the device by setting EN LOW, which places all I/Os

in the high-impedance state. Since LSF0204-Q1 is switch-type voltage translator, the power consumption is very

low. It is recommended to always enable LSF0204-Q1 for bidirectional application (I2C, SMBus, PMBus, or

MDIO).
