TXS0108E: Device suggestion for layer 2 switch

Part Number: TXS0108E
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TXS0102, SN74AXC8T245, LSF0102

Hi Team

My customer is looking for level shifter for 2 applications as below

(1)CPU(+3.3V)-L2SW(+2.5V or +1.8V)  MII signal(25MHz) signal 6*2=12 lanes(single direction)
(2)CPU(+3.3V)-L2SW(+2.5V or +1.8V) MDIO signal(>10MHz) signal 2 lanes(included bi-directional)

They are currently looking at TXS0108E and TXS0102, are these devices good solutions to this application?

If not, please advice devices that might work for this case.

Regards

  • Hi David,

    They should work okay. However, I would further suggest using auto-bidirectional devices typically for only auto-bidirectional applications.

    Hence, I would recommend SN74AXC8T245 for the single direction application. For the auto-bidirectional application, if above 12MHz similarly to the datasheet for push-pull; I would recommend taking a look at LSF0102, thanks.

    Best Regards,

    Michael.
