Translators, Level Shifters Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix 'DT' corresponds to the TSSOP-8 package configuration in official documentation. Confirm RoHS compliance status and Pb-Free designation through current manufacturer certificates. Ensure supply chain sources provide valid traceability for the component lot. Review application notes for proper termination resistor requirements to VTT at power-up.

Translators, Level Shifters Selection Notes

Select this component when interfacing between different logic families such as LVPECL and CML without requiring external coupling capacitors. Consider its functional equivalence to legacy EP11, LVEP11, SG11, or 7L11M devices if migrating designs. Evaluate the 1-to-2 fanout capability against system timing skew requirements. Verify that the operating voltage ranges align with the target receiver supplies.
