Hello Forum,
I am bread boarding a MAX3023 Level Translator.
http://datasheets.maxim-ic.com/en/ds/MAX13013-MAX3023.pdf I am having trouble with an extremely noisy signal on both the output and input. It is only during the high time. This only happens when I am translating from VL to VCC. When going from VCC to VL, all works fine. I am using the recommended 0.1uF decoupling caps. I am using a function gen to simulate input data. Anyone have any thoughts? Here are my specs below,
VL = 1.4V
VCC=3.3V
Frequency 100Hz
Measured Input Noise Amount 1.25V
Measured Output Noise Amount 1.25V
***Edit***
I noticed in the datasheet it says the input driver must have less than 25 ohms output impedance. Could that be a problem when driving them from the function gen.
Also I tested it with a DC voltage and it works perfectly. 1.4V in and 3.38V out with no noise. So I need to determine a way to get rid of this noise.
