Hi TI Team,

Could you please review the implementation of the level translator and share your review comments?

Also could you please clarify the below queries?

  • Could you please verify the above schematics and confirm whether this implementation works?
  • Our application's required speed is 4Mbps, can we use this level translator for 4Mbps signals?
  • please confirm whether the configuration of this level translator is push-pull or open drain.

Thanks 

Sandra

  • Also could you please suggest an alternate level translator that does not have to satisfy the condition "Vcca should be less than Vccb"

  • 1. The schematic is incomplete. But as far as the components shown are concerned, this will work.

    2. 4 Mbps will work if the other devices have push/pull outputs.

    3. The level translator itself does not change and does not have a different configuration. The only relevant difference between push/pull and open-drain systems is the speed of rising edges; if the other devices output signals with fast edges, then the TXS also runs fast.

    4. In the schematic, all eight signals are shown to be unidirectional. Unidirectional translators (e.g., TXU0104/TXU0204/TXU0304) would be a better choice, and have no supply restrictions.
