About this component

Non-inverting MOS-style open-drain buffer. A low input sinks OUT; a high input releases OUT to high impedance, so an external pull-up is required for logic high.

Parameters

Basic settings
3 parameters
ParameterNameDescriptionDefault

VTH

Input threshold

Voltage above which IN releases the open drain.

2.5 V

RSINK

Sink resistance

Resistance from OUT to ground while the output is sinking.

20 Ω

ROFF

Released resistance

Residual resistance from OUT to ground while released.

1000000000000 Ω
