SP488ET-L/TR

The SP488ET-L/TR is an advanced low power level translator IC from Silicon Labs. This device is ideal for most applications requiring level translators. It provides high-speed data transmission and low operating current. The SP488ET-L/TR can be used in applications such as digital signal routing, interfacing with multiple voltage domains, driving high-speed digital busses and low power feedback loops.

The SP488ET-L/TR is composed of two separate logic channels; an input channel and an output channel. Each channel includes an input buffer and a voltage level shifter. The level shifting devices are configured as either a non-inverting level shifter or an inverting level shifter to provide isolation between the two voltage domains. The SP488ET-L/TR offers a wide range of supply voltage options from 1.8 V to 5.0 V, and with its high logic threshold level, it can be used for level shifting logic signals between multiple voltage domains.

The SP488ET-L/TR is also capable of operating as a bi-directional level translator. The device has two independent level translating channels, one for data transmission between two voltage domains and one for data reception from an external source. When receiving data from an external source, the level shifter in the input channel will shift the signal voltage level into a logic voltage domain compatible with the logic level of the device. The output channel can then send the data to the destination device operating at a different voltage level.

The SP488ET-L/TR can also be used in applications requiring multiple voltage levels. The device has two level translators, one for high-speed input data and one for low-speed output data. Each level translator can be independently configured, allowing the SP488ET-L/TR to accommodate up to three logic voltage levels. This allows the device to transmit data between voltage domains with varying logic levels.

The SP488ET-L/TR has a wide operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. The device is also highly versatile and can be used in a variety of applications, from automotive to consumer electronics, where high level translation is needed. In addition to the level translating capability, the SP488ET-L/TR also provides buffering and drive capability.

The SP488ET-L/TR is an ideal choice for applications where level translation between multiple voltage domains is required. The device can be used in digital signal routing, driving high-speed digital busses, low power feedback loops, and in applications requiring multiple voltage levels. The device also provides a low operating current, allowing for efficient power consumption. With its high logic threshold level and wide operating temperature range, the SP488ET-L/TR is the perfect choice for any level translation application.
