UM3212M8

Union Semiconductor · Translators / Level Shifters · MSOP-8

UM3212M8 from Union Semiconductor, in a MSOP-8. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet by ds2sf; symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 GND power_in Ground (0V) reference for the device.
2 VREF1 power_in Low-voltage side reference supply voltage for SCL1 and SDA1. Operating range 0V to 5V; typical 1.0V to 3.6V.
3 SCL1 bidirectional Serial clock, low-voltage side. Open-drain I2C bus I/O; connect to VREF1 through a pull-up resistor.
4 SDA1 bidirectional Serial data, low-voltage side. Open-drain I2C bus I/O; connect to VREF1 through a pull-up resistor.
5 SDA2 bidirectional Serial data, high-voltage side. Open-drain I2C bus I/O; connect to VREF2 through a pull-up resistor.
6 SCL2 bidirectional Serial clock, high-voltage side. Open-drain I2C bus I/O; connect to VREF2 through a pull-up resistor.
7 VREF2 power_in High-voltage side reference supply voltage for SCL2 and SDA2. Operating range 0V to 5V; typical 1.8V to 5.5V.
8 EN input Switch enable input. When HIGH the translator is on and the SCL1/SDA1 pins are connected to SCL2/SDA2; when LOW all channels are high-impedance. Connect to VREF2 and pull up through a high-value resistor.

Two STEP files. Same geometry, different body top:

File Size Use it when
um3212m8.step 123 KB You want the bare part, or you mark your own boards.
um3212m8-etched.step 2.0 MB You want the part with UM3212M8 already on it.

The marking in the etched file is real recessed geometry cut into the solid, not a texture or a decal: 481 faces against 147 in the bare model. It survives export, section views, and rendering in any CAD tool, and it drops straight into KiCad or Fusion with no extra setup.

Provenance

Data extracted from the manufacturer datasheet, not a distributor listing:

  • Datasheet: Union Semiconductor datasheet (13 pp, sha256 2a269d25929ecc53, retrieved 2026-08-17, tier: lcsc)
  • Extractor: ds2sf (Claude). Every pin and dimension is cited to a datasheet page; it refuses to fabricate.
  • CAD: KiCad official libraries (CC-BY-SA 4.0).
