Overview

The TXS0108ERKSR is an 8-bit bidirectional voltage-level translator designed for interfacing between different logic voltage domains without a direction-control signal. It supports a wide operating range, with Port A handling 1.4V to 3.6V and Port B handling 1.65V to 5.5V, making it ideal for mixed-voltage systems using open-drain or push-pull architectures.

Why Choose This Part

The device features an auto-sensing architecture that eliminates the need for a DIR control pin, simplifying PCB routing and reducing firmware overhead. It provides robust protection with IEC 61000-4-2 ESD protection on the B-port and handles high-speed data rates up to 110Mbps in push-pull mode.

Applications

I2C and SMBus Level Shifting
Connecting 1.8V microcontrollers to 5V sensors or peripherals over bidirectional serial buses.
SD Card Interfacing
Translating logic levels between low-voltage application processors and standard 3.3V SD memory cards.
Mixed-Voltage GPIO Expansion
Interfacing modern 1.8V SoCs with legacy 3.3V or 5V peripheral ICs in industrial or consumer electronics.

Getting Started

Ensure that VCCA is always less than or equal to VCCB during operation, and connect a bypass capacitor of 0.1uF to each supply pin. For prototyping, utilize the 20-VQFN footprint with a 0.5mm pitch, and pull the Output Enable (OE) pin low to place all I/Os in a high-impedance state during power-up.
