PI4ULS3V16ZFE

Translators, Level Shifters Overview

The PI4ULS3V16ZFE is a universal bidirectional level shifter featuring automatic direction control. It operates with supply voltages VCCA and VCCB ranging from 1.2V to 3.6V. The device contains two octal circuits, providing 16 independent translation channels. It supports data rates up to 180 Mbps for push-pull applications and offers a drive capability of 12mA. The component is housed in a 56-contact plastic TQFN package (5x11mm) and functions within an industrial temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Translators, Level Shifters Feature Summary

• Universal bidirectional voltage translation between 1.2V and 3.6V rails
• Automatic direction detection without external control signals
• Independent bit-level translation across 16 channels
• High ESD protection exceeding JESD22 standards

Translators, Level Shifters Applications

• Voltage translation between asynchronous data buses
• Bus relay operations
• Low voltage system interconnects

Translators, Level Shifters Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix 'E' confirms lead-free and green material compliance as documented in the manufacturer's ordering information. Confirm the package code 'ZF' corresponds to the 56-pin TQFN 5x11 footprint. Ensure the datasheet version matches the required electrical specifications for your design environment.

Translators, Level Shifters Selection Notes

Select this component when designing systems requiring independent translation of multiple signal lines between different voltage domains. The automatic direction control feature simplifies interface design by removing the need for explicit direction pins. Verify that the target application bus speeds do not exceed the 180 Mbps limit for push-pull configurations.

Translators, Level Shifters Part Context

This part belongs to the PI4ULS3V series of universal level shifters manufactured by Diodes Incorporated (formerly Pericom). It serves as a bridge for connecting logic families operating at varying low voltages. The dual-octal architecture allows for efficient management of wide data buses in compact surface-mount packages.

Translators, Level Shifters Replacement Considerations

Check for direct pin-compatible alternatives within the same family that may offer updated packaging or revised electrical characteristics. Ensure any substitute maintains the 1.2V to 3.6V operating range and automatic direction control functionality.
