Voltage Level Translation
Broadest portfolio of general-purpose and performance level shifters
Voltage translators/level shifters are devices that resolve mixed voltage incompatibility between different parts of a system that operate in multiple voltage domains. They are common in today’s complex systems, especially when interfacing with legacy devices. TI offers the broadest portfolio of standard, general-purpose level-shifters spanning a wide range of voltages, frequencies, bit widths and IO types (open-drain or push-pull) along with performance-optimized application specific level shifters for standard interfaces (I2C, SD card, SIM card).
Unidirectional
Unidirectional level shifters offer reliable one-way translation in a push-pull configuration.
- 1, 2, 4, 16, 24, 32 bits
- Push-pull IOs
- 0.8V (min), 18V (max)
- 275 MHz (max)
Bidirectional
Bidirectional level shifters offer the flexibility and performance to solve any voltage level incompatibility.
- 1, 2, 4, 6, 8 bits
- Auto direction sense
- Push-pull & open-drain IOs
- 0.9V (min),5.5V (max)
- 100 MHz (max)
Direction controlled
Direction controlled level shifters offer designers pin-point control over translation with a dedicated directional pin.
- 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 16, 24, 32 bits
- Direction control pin
- Push-pull IOs
- 1.2 V (min), 5.5V (max)
- 250 Mhz (max)
Logic
Logic level shifters integrate logic functionality and voltage translation into a single convenient, cost-effective, space-saving design.
- 1, 4 bits
- Logic input
- Multiple logic functions
- 0.8V (min), 5.5V (max)
- 275 Mhz (max)
