ADVANCE INFORMATION
The TXG8122-Q1 is used for level translation, enabling communication between devices or systems operating at different interface and ground voltages. The TXG8122-Q1 device is ideal for use in applications where an open-drain driver is connected to the data I/Os. Figure 7-1 is an example of two systems that translate from 3.3V to 5.5V across an I2C interface while also seeing a ground shift of -5V on GND2 while GND1 remains at 0V. The ground shift occurs due to the parasitic resistance of the cable used to connect the 48V battery ground and 12V battery ground to the chassis of the car.
