New level shifters support wide voltage range and high data rates while saving power

Nexperia has introduced the NXU0304 4-bit dual-supply translator ICs, which offer three-state operation, a wide shifting range from 0.9 V to 5.5 V, and robust communications at up to 250 Mbits/s.

The NXU0304 voltage-level translating buffer ICs are the latest devices in the cost-effective NXU family from Nexperia. The NXU translators cover 4-, 2-, and 1-bit operations to solve I/O level mismatches between system components that use common interface standards such as I2C, SPI, UART, JTAG, RMII and GPIO.

 

The wide voltage range of the NXU0304 level shifters offers increased flexibility for designers building systems with many different I/O voltages. This reduces the requirement for compromises in cost- and space-constrained designs, and eases integration of the most suitable components for the application. The high maximum data rate of the NXU0304 also enables interfacing with leading peripheral and host devices.

 

The NXU family offers multiple channel direction configurations for optimized operation and reduced system complexity. This means that the NXU translators have a lower pin count than direction-controlled translator ICs, and this enables smaller package sizes for more compact designs.
