TITXB0104RUTR

Overview

The TXB0104RUTR is a 4-bit bidirectional voltage-level translator featuring automatic direction sensing and a 100Mbps data rate. It allows for seamless communication between ICs operating at different logic levels, supporting a wide range from 1.2V to 3.6V on the A-port and 1.65V to 5.5V on the B-port. The device utilizes a push-pull architecture that eliminates the need for a direction-control signal, simplifying PCB layout.

Why Choose This Part

This translator features automatic direction sensing, which removes the requirement for a GPIO-driven DIR pin, saving processor overhead and board space. It includes Vcc isolation, ensuring that if either Vcc input is at 0V, all outputs enter a high-impedance state to prevent back-current. With a low 5uA maximum standby current and integrated ESD protection, it is optimized for power-sensitive and robust consumer electronics.

Applications

Getting Started

To use this part, ensure the VCCA supply is always less than or equal to VCCB and that the OE pin is referenced to VCCA. For evaluation, use a breakout board or a breadboard-friendly module to test signal integrity at high data rates up to 100Mbps. Designers should avoid using this part with open-drain buses like standard I2C unless external pull-up resistors are carefully sized to avoid interfering with the internal one-shot architecture.
