Logic - Translators, Level Shifters

The TXS0101DCKR is a bi-directional logic translator. It is a high-speed, low voltage, single pin, small size and low power consumption device. It can be used for logic and signal conversion between different voltage level and logic families. It is an ideal solution for interfacing different logic and signal levels that are needed in professional and modular applications.

Applications of the TXS0101DCKR

The TXS0101 is primarily used for level shifting and voltage translation between 1.2V to 3.6V logic and signal families. The device can be used for application specific logic and signal interfacing, where the different logic and signal levels are required. It is used in devices such as those found in portable or mobile communication and computing electronic systems like smartphones and tablets, portable MP3 players, digital cameras, printers, and some GPS devices.

The device can also be found in applications that require an interface between a high speed digital signal and a low voltage signaling system, such as USB and 30-pin connectors. It can also be found in advanced display systems, gaming systems, and network equipment. It is also used in certain industrial automation and automotive applications.

Working Principle of the TXS0101DCKR

The TXS0101 is a logic translator device that uses a single supply voltage between 1.2V and 3.6V. It contains two channels, each designed with two bidirectional arrays, and each array is configured with two enabling pins. When the two enabling pins of one array are logic high, the array is active and set in translation mode. When both enabling pins are logic low, the array is disabled and the output is in high impedance state.

The device performs a voltage level shift from lower to higher voltage levels, and vice versa. TheInput Logic(IL) pins will accept the input signal levels and output compatible signal on the Output Logic (OL) pins. The output signal levels on the OL pins will be exactly the same as the input signal levels on the IL pins. The device also incorporates Over-Voltage (OV) protection, so in the case of input voltages exceeding the device\'s maximum rating of 3.6V, the device will shut down and the output will be in high impedance state.

Conclusion

The TXS0101DCKR is a versatile, low-power and stable logic translator that allows for easy level shifting and voltage translation between low-voltage and different logic families. It is commonly used in mobile and portable device applications that require interface between high speed digital signals and low voltage systems. It also incorporates over-voltage protection, which provides additional safety and stability.
