TXS0108EQWRKSRQ1 in TXS0108 / BSS138 Level Shifters Family
The TXS0108EQWRKSRQ1 belongs to the Texas Instruments TXS series of bidirectional voltage-level translators, specifically optimized for automotive environments. These eight-bit non-inverting buffers facilitate seamless data transfer between devices operating at different supply voltages, ranging from 1.2V to 3.6V on the A-port and 1.65V to 5.5V on the B-port. Utilizing an open-drain architecture with internal pull-up resistors, this family is primarily used for interfacing legacy ICs with modern low-voltage microcontrollers.
Variants within the TXS0108 sub-family differ primarily by their qualification standards and packaging. While the TXS0108E is the standard industrial version, the TXS0108E-Q1 and specific RQ1 variants carry AEC-Q100 certification for automotive use. Differences also exist in thermal performance and physical footprint, ranging from standard TSSOP and VQFN packages to specialized space-saving wafer-level chip-scale packages (WCSP) for ultra-compact designs.
