TXS0108E

Texas Instruments · Bidirectional level translator · TSSOP-20

8-bit non-inverting bidirectional voltage-level translator with automatic direction sensing, in a TSSOP-20 package. It shifts eight signals between any two of the 1.5, 1.8, 2.5, 3.3, and 5 V rails (VCCA 1.4-3.6 V, VCCB 1.65-5.5 V), with no direction pin, so it Just Works on I2C, SPI, and GPIO between a 3.3 V MCU and 5 V peripherals. An OE pin puts all I/Os in high-Z. The default bus level shifter.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 A1 bidirectional A-port channel 1 I/O, referenced to VCCA. Auto-sensing bidirectional level-shifted data line paired with B1. Requires an external pull-up at each end for open-drain operation; drives push-pull otherwise.
2 VCCA power_in A-port supply rail. 1.4V ≤ VCCA ≤ 3.6V and VCCA ≤ VCCB. Sets the logic level for the A-side channels and OE input. Bypass locally with 0.1µF.
3 A2 bidirectional A-port channel 2 I/O, referenced to VCCA. Paired with B2 for auto-sensing bidirectional level shifting.
4 A3 bidirectional A-port channel 3 I/O, referenced to VCCA. Paired with B3.
5 A4 bidirectional A-port channel 4 I/O, referenced to VCCA. Paired with B4.
6 A5 bidirectional A-port channel 5 I/O, referenced to VCCA. Paired with B5.
7 A6 bidirectional A-port channel 6 I/O, referenced to VCCA. Paired with B6.
8 A7 bidirectional A-port channel 7 I/O, referenced to VCCA. Paired with B7.
9 A8 bidirectional A-port channel 8 I/O, referenced to VCCA. Paired with B8.
10 OE input Output-enable. Referenced to VCCA. Drive high to enable translation on all 8 channels; drive low to place every A and B channel in the high-impedance (Hi-Z) state. Tie to GND through a pull-down during power-up/down to keep the device in Hi-Z (VIH ≥ 0.65·VCCA, VIL ≤ 0.35·VCCA).
11 GND power_in Device ground. Connect to the system ground reference.
12 B8 bidirectional B-port channel 8 I/O, referenced to VCCB. Paired with A8.
13 B7 bidirectional B-port channel 7 I/O, referenced to VCCB. Paired with A7.
14 B6 bidirectional B-port channel 6 I/O, referenced to VCCB. Paired with A6.
15 B5 bidirectional B-port channel 5 I/O, referenced to VCCB. Paired with A5.
16 B4 bidirectional B-port channel 4 I/O, referenced to VCCB. Paired with A4.
17 B3 bidirectional B-port channel 3 I/O, referenced to VCCB. Paired with A3.
18 B2 bidirectional B-port channel 2 I/O, referenced to VCCB. Paired with A2.
19 VCCB power_in B-port supply rail. 1.65V ≤ VCCB ≤ 5.5V and must be ≥ VCCA. Sets the logic level for the B-side channels. Bypass locally with 0.1µF.
20 B1 bidirectional B-port channel 1 I/O, referenced to VCCB. Paired with A1.
