TXS0108ENMER

Translators, Level Shifters Overview

The Texas Instruments TXS0108ENMER is an 8-bit bidirectional voltage-level translator housed in a 20-pin NFBGA package. It supports VCCA from 1.4V to 3.6V and VCCB from 1.65V to 5.5V, with VCCA required to be less than or equal to VCCB. The device achieves maximum data rates of 110Mbps for push-pull applications and 1.2Mbps for open-drain configurations. Operating temperature range spans from -40°C to +85°C.

Translators, Level Shifters Feature Summary

• Eliminates the need for direction-control signals by automatically detecting signal flow between ports
• Integrates internal pull-up resistors to support both open-drain and push-pull logic applications without external components
• Provides robust electrostatic discharge protection exceeding JESD 78 Class II latch-up standards

Translators, Level Shifters Applications

• Handsets
• Smartphones
• Tablets
• Desktop PCs

Translators, Level Shifters Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific ordering suffix 'NME' corresponds to the NFBGA-20 package configuration as defined in the manufacturer's documentation. Confirm that the component meets RoHS compliance requirements before integration into final assemblies. Ensure supply chain sources provide valid traceability records for production batches.

Translators, Level Shifters Selection Notes

Select this component when interfacing digital systems operating at different voltage domains, such as translating between 1.8V and 3.3V logic levels. The absence of direction control pins simplifies PCB layout and reduces pin count requirements compared to directional translators. Verify that the target application does not require power sequencing between the A and B supply rails.

Translators, Level Shifters Part Context

This device belongs to the TXS0108E family of non-inverting level shifters designed for low-voltage bidirectional translation. It utilizes a pass-gate architecture with edge-rate accelerators to enhance switching performance across varying load conditions and voltage differentials.

Translators, Level Shifters Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same family include the TXS0108EPW (TSSOP), TXS0108ERGYR (VQFN), and TXS0108EDGS (VSSOP). These variants offer identical electrical specifications but differ in physical footprint and thermal characteristics.
