GPIO drive strength, or rise time & fall time, and sink/source resistance

Hi,

We are using the GPIO pins of a SLG46826 as outputs to drive the gates of 2 FETs. We are currently investigating which FETs to select, and if the SLG46826 is suitable to drive the gates within 1 or a few nanoseconds. In order to do so, we would like to know the drive strength of a single GPIO pin. The SLG46826 datasheet does not seem to provide this information, or am I overlooking something? Alternatively, the rise and fall time for a 300 pF load would be very interesting to know.

In addition, it would be good to know the sink/source resistance of the push-pull transistors in the GPIO output stage.

Please let me know if you can help us with this.

Best regards,

Tom

Hi Tom,

Hi Tom,

thank you for your question and sorry for the delay with answer.

Unfortunately we don't have direct data set of rise/fall time vs load capacitance but there are VOH, VOL, IOH, IOLspecs (see attached) any you can calculate internal channel resistance and rise/fall time for your specific load.

No problem, thank you for the response. I have actually been looking at those tables and concluded this was not the info I was looking for, but it is. My mistake.

However, one thing I still don't understand: the datasheet says "VOH=2.4 V" for different VDD and VDD2 (even up to VDD = VDD2). See the attached image. I would expect the GPIO high output voltage to be VOH = VDD - 0.2 or something close to that. Why is it always 2.4 V?

Thanks for your help

Tom

Hi Tom,

Hi Tom,

此表显示了在销保持最大负载cceptable output voltage (2.4V) at different VDDs.
