NLSX3014: Level Translator, 4-Bit, Configurable Dual-Supply, 100 Mbps

The NLSX3014 is a 4 bit configurable dual supply bidirectional level translator without a directional control pin. The IO_VCC and IO_VL ports are designed to track two different power supply rails, VCC and VL respectively. The VCC supply rail is configurable from 1.3V to 4.5V while the VL supply rail is configurable from 0.9V to VCC minus 0.4V. This allows lower voltage logic signals on the VL side to be translated into higher voltage logic signals on the VCC side, and vice versa. Both IO ports are auto sensing and thus, have no direction pin. The Enable EN input, when Low, disables both IO ports by putting them in 3 state. This reduces significantly the supply currents from both VCC and VL. The EN signal is designed to track VL.

Features
  • Directional Auto Sense
  • Wide Voltage Translation Range
  • Low Power Consumption
  • Small UQFN12 (1.7mm x 2.0mm) package
Benefits
  • Easier design implementation. No planning required for direction pin control.
  • Allows for translation from voltage ranges of 1.3V to 4.5V
  • Longer battery life in hand held applications
  • Small package footprint of 3.4mm2 reduces the amount of board space required for translation.
Applications
  • Handheld Battery Operated Devices, products integrating multiple devices operating at differing voltages.
End Products
  • PDA, Cell Phone, Notebook, MP3 Players, White Goods
