SmartElex 8-Channel Bi-Directional Logic Level Converter – TXB0108
The SmartElex 8-Channel Bi-Directional Logic Level Converter is your go-to solution for seamlessly interfacing 5V devices like Arduino or Basic Stamp with modern 3.3V sensors, displays, and modules. As the demand for lower voltage components grows, many makers encounter the need for effective level shifting to protect sensitive 3.3V devices from higher voltages.
While resistors can create voltage dividers for level shifting, they often introduce delays that complicate high-speed data transfers. This is where traditional logic level shifters, like the 4050 or 74LVC245 series, fall short due to their one-directional capability, making wiring more complicated for bi-directional interfaces.
Enter the TXB0108! This advanced chip allows for bidirectional level shifting between virtually any voltage levels while automatically detecting the direction of signal flow. It’s perfect for applications requiring reliable data transmission without the hassle of managing directional pins.
Please note that while the TXB0108 excels in most situations, it may not work well with I²C due to its strong pull-up resistors. If pull-ups are needed, we recommend using resistors of at least 50K ohms, as the internal pull-ups of Arduino and AVRs (typically around 100K ohms) are compatible.
Upgrade your projects with the SmartElex TXB0108 for effortless, reliable logic level conversion!
Features:
- 8 Channels: Supports up to 8 bi-directional channels for versatile connections.
- Automatic Direction Sensing: Detects signal direction automatically for hassle-free operation.
- Wide Voltage Compatibility: Works with various voltage levels, facilitating seamless communication between 5V and 3.3V devices.
- High-Speed Performance: Designed for reliable, high-speed data transfers without delays.
- Simple Integration: No need for directional pins, simplifying wiring and setup.
- I²C Compatibility: Can be used with I²C, but requires pull-up resistors of at least 50K ohms for optimal performance.
- Robust Design: Built to handle the demands of modern electronics, making it ideal for makers and developers.
