TXS0108EPWR in TXS0108 / BSS138 Level Shifters Family
The TXS0108EPWR family, primarily manufactured by Texas Instruments, consists of 8-bit bi-directional voltage level translators designed for open-drain and push-pull applications. These devices eliminate the need for a direction-control signal, simplifying PCB routing and reducing GPIO overhead. They are essential for interfacing modern low-voltage microcontrollers with legacy 3.3V or 5V peripherals, ensuring signal integrity across disparate voltage domains while supporting a wide VCCA and VCCB range.
Variants in This Sub-Family
Variants within the TXS0108 sub-family primarily differ based on their thermal packaging and operating temperature ratings. While the 'EPWR' suffix denotes a TSSOP-20 package with specific tape-and-reel specifications, other variants include VQFN (RGY) or UQFN (ZXY) packages for space-constrained designs. Some versions are also qualified for automotive use (Q100), offering higher reliability and wider temperature ranges for harsh environment deployments compared to standard industrial-grade variants.
