Overview

The PI3CLS39306M8-13 is a dual-channel bidirectional voltage level translator designed for open-drain applications like I2C, SMBus, and I3C. It enables seamless communication between devices operating at different voltage rails from 0.9V to 5V without the need for a direction control pin. The device features a low 3.5 ohm ON-state resistance and high-impedance isolation when the enable (EN) pin is driven low.

Why Choose This Part

This translator provides lock-up free operation and flow-through pinout, which simplifies PCB layout by keeping input and output traces aligned. It supports a wide voltage range (0.9V to 5V) and provides high ESD protection exceeding 4kV HBM. The low ON-resistance ensures minimal signal propagation delay and maintains signal integrity for high-speed open-drain transitions.

Applications

I2C Bus Level Shifting
Connecting legacy 5V or 3.3V I2C peripherals to modern low-voltage microcontrollers operating at 1.8V or 1.2V.
SMBus Management
Facilitating communication between system management controllers and power supplies or battery chargers in computing systems.
I3C Interface Translation
Supporting newer high-speed serial bus specifications that require low-capacitance and low-voltage level translation.
MDIO Isolation
Using the enable pin to isolate Management Data Input/Output buses in networking equipment during power-sequencing.

Getting Started

To implement this part, connect the lower voltage rail to VCCA and the higher voltage rail to VCCB, ensuring both sides have appropriate pull-up resistors for open-drain operation. Pull the EN pin high to enable translation or low to isolate the ports. Refer to the MSOP-8 footprint specifications for PCB land pattern design, noting the 0.65mm pin pitch.
