PI4ULS5V104ZBEX

Translators, Level Shifters Overview

The PI4ULS5V104ZBEX is a 4-bit bidirectional voltage level shifter manufactured by Diodes Incorporated. It features an automatic direction controller and operates with VCCA ranging from 1.2V to 3.6V, while VCCB ranges from 1.65V to 5.5V. The device supports data rates up to 100 Mbps depending on supply voltages. Propagation delay (tpd) typically ranges from 0.8 ns to 12.9 ns. It is housed in a 14-pin TQFN package measuring 3.5x3.5 mm.

Translators, Level Shifters Feature Summary

• Automatic direction detection eliminates the need for external control signals
• Supports bidirectional translation between low-voltage and high-voltage logic domains
• Provides three-state outputs controlled by the OE pin

Translators, Level Shifters Applications

• Interfacing between different logic families in embedded systems
• Connecting microcontrollers to peripherals operating at varying voltage levels
• Level shifting in I2C or SPI bus architectures

Translators, Level Shifters Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix ZBEX corresponds to the 14-pin TQFN tape and reel packaging configuration. Confirm RoHS compliance status as defined by the manufacturer's green product standards. Ensure the component meets the required operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C for your application environment.

Translators, Level Shifters Selection Notes

Select this component when automatic direction sensing is required without GPIO overhead. Verify that VCCA remains lower than or equal to VCCB during operation. Consider the maximum data rate requirements relative to the specific VCCA and VCCB supply voltages used in the design.

Translators, Level Shifters Part Context

This part belongs to the PI4ULS series of ultra-low voltage level shifters from Diodes Incorporated. It shares functional similarities with other ULS devices but offers four channels in a compact surface-mount package. The series is designed for portable electronics requiring efficient power management and signal integrity across mixed-voltage interfaces.

Translators, Level Shifters FAQ

How does the automatic direction controller function?

The device automatically detects the direction of signal transmission between the A and B ports without requiring an external direction control pin.

What is the relationship between VCCA and VCCB?

VCCA must be less than or equal to VCCB, with VCCA ranging from 1.2V to 3.6V and VCCB from 1.65V to 5.5V.
