SN74AVC4T774: Asking for the level shifter design review suggestion

Part Number: SN74AVC4T774
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: SN74LVC125A, PCA9306

Hi Sir,

 

My customer would like design SN74AVC4T774RSVR for I2S and PCA9306DCUR for I2C.

Would you please review schematic and layout and provide your comment?

  • The SN74AVC4T774, like any other logic device, needs decoupling capacitors at its supply pins.

    For unidirectional downtranslation, a flexible lever shifter like the SN74AVC4T774 will work, but is overkill. You can simple use a buffer with overvoltage-tolerant inputs like the SN74LVC125A (see this list).

    The PCA9306 circuit is wrong; VREF1/2 are not power supply pins. You can either use the slow switch configuration (connect EN directly to 1.8 V, leave VREF1/2 open), or the normal level shifter configuration (connect VREF1 directly to 1.8 V, connect VREF2 and EN together and through a 200 kΩ resistor to 3.3 V; SCA1/SCL1 is the low-voltage side). See the datasheet.

    All four I²C signals need pull-up resistors; I assume they are present, but elsewhere on the schematic.

  • Hi Clemens,

    thanks for feedback.

    would you please review the updated PCA9306 scheamtic and let me know your comment?

  • Everything looks OK.
