FAQ: Logic and Voltage Translation > Ground-Level Translators >> Current FAQ
TXG devices (both push-pull and open-drain) cannot support any level of IEC-ESD. However, IEC-ESD can still be achieved by using a protection device like the ESDS30x product…
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TXG8122-Q1
Since the I2C protocol limits the allowable bus capacitance to 400pF (for Standard and Fast Mode) or 550pF (for Fast Mode+), similar requirements will need to be implemented on the TXG8122-Q1.
There are…

At the moment TXG QFN packages do not support wettable flanks. However, we are working towards supporting wettable flank packages once products are fully released.
The QFN…

FAQ: Logic and Voltage Translation > Ground-Level Translators >> Current FAQ
The TXG product family can be used as a regular level translator (VCCA > VCCB or VCCA < VCCB) or in a buffer configuration (VCCA = VCCB).
If a user doesn’t need ground shifting…
FAQ: Logic and Voltage Translation > Ground-Level Translators >> Current FAQ
The maximum trace length that ground-level translators (as well as logic devices) can drive is 60 mm. This is a safe trace length for most devices to drive across the majority…
FAQ: Logic and Voltage Translation > Ground-Level Translators >> Current FAQ
To use the ground shift capability, voltage supplies need to be isolated and fall within the recommended operating conditions.
Let’s use the figure above as an example…
