SparkFun Level Shifter -8 Channel (TXS0108E) -Bi-Directional Level-Shifting Breakout Component -Open Drain, Push Pull Applications

The SparkFun 8 Channel Level Shifter Breakout features the TXS0108E 8-bit, bi-directional logic level translator from Texas Instruments. The SparkFun 8 Channel Level Shifter Breakout features the TXS0108E 8-bit, bi-directional logic level translator from Texas Instruments. This board allows you to easily shift logic between devices running at different common microcontroller voltages such as 1.8V, 3.3V and 5V. The TXS0108E can transmit data between ports at max speeds of 110Mbps (push/pull) or 1.2Mbps (open drain) so you can use a 3.3V SPI device with a 5V microcontroller like the SparkFun RedBoard Plus without sacrificing data transmission speeds. The TXS0108E accepts a supply voltage range between 1.4V to 3.6V on Port A and 1.65V to 5.5V on Port B. This breakout routes all of the TXS0108E's pins to a pair of 0.1"-spaced plated through-hole headers for easy access with some basic soldering.

• The SparkFun 8 Channel Level Shifter Breakout features the TXS0108E 8-bit, bi-directional logic level translator from Texas Instruments.
• The TXS0108E uses pass gate circuit architecture with integrated edge rate (one shot) accelerators to support data transmission speeds up to 1.2Mbps in open drain operation and up to 110Mbps in push/pull operation. It also has built in pull-up resistors for open drain applications so external resistors are not necessary.
• Max Data Rates: 110 Mbps (push-pull) 1.2 Mbps (open-drain) Supply Voltage Range: Port A: 1.4V to 3.6V, Port B: 1.65V to 5.5V
• Level Shifter - 8 Channel (TXS0108E) -Board Dimensions: measures (1.10" x 0.50" Inches) (27.94mm x 12.70mm)
• Reminder: Voltage supplied to VCC_A must be less than or equal to VCC_B. Also, the breakout pulls OE LOW so make sure to tie the OE pin to VCC_A to enable the TXS0108E.
