TXS0108E: level shift for SPI and UART

Part Number: TXS0108E
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: SN74LVC8T245, SN74LVC2T45, SN74AHCT125, SN74AHCT1G125, SN74AHCT541, SN74LVC2G34

Hi,

my customer need level shift for SPI and UART. And they may need 1 SPI master(3.3V) and several SPI slaves(5V) connected together. So the more channel, the better.

The question is:

1. Is TXS0108E best suitable for this case?

2. Any risk connecting several SPI slaves together with TXS0108E?

    How many channels are actually required? Two for UART, three for SPI, plus one chip select for each slave? How many slaves?

    In fact, there are up to 8 SPI slaves, but we don't need one level shift to do that, we could use several pieces.

    So you need to shift ten channels up, and two channels down?

    Translating from 3.3 V to 5 V could be done with shifters like the SN74LVC8T245 and SN74LVC2T45, but these particular voltages can also be handled by plain buffers with TTL-compatible inputs, such as the SN74AHCT541, SN74AHCT125, or SN74AHCT1G125. One CMOS output can drive many slaves.

    Translating from 5 V to 3.3 V could be done with a shifter like the SN74LVC2T45, but can also be handled by plain buffers with overvoltage-tolerant inputs, such as the SN74LVC2G34.
