TXS0108ENMER in TXS0108 / BSS138 Level Shifters Family
The TXS0108ENMER family, manufactured by Texas Instruments, consists of 8-bit bidirectional voltage-level translators designed for mixed-voltage digital systems. These components facilitate seamless communication between logic levels ranging from 1.2V to 3.6V on Port A and 1.65V to 5.5V on Port B. Utilizing a pass-gate architecture with integrated pull-up resistors, they eliminate the need for a direction-control signal, making them ideal for interfacing legacy peripherals with modern low-voltage microcontrollers and FPGAs.
Variants within the TXS0108 series primarily differ in packaging and temperature ratings. While the TXS0108ENMER utilizes the RME (VQFN-20) package, other variants may offer TSSOP or VFBGA footprints to accommodate different manufacturing constraints. Some versions include an active-high output enable (OE) pin for bus isolation, while automotive-grade 'Q1' variants provide AEC-Q100 qualification and extended operating temperature ranges for harsh environment reliability.
