TXS0108ERGYR – TEXAS INSTRUMENTS

The Texas Instruments TXS0108ERGYR is a 8-bit, bidirectional, voltage-level translator in a space-saving 6-pin WSON package. It facilitates communication between 1.8V and 3.3V logic domains, robustly handling both high-speed data and control signals. Operating over a wide input voltage range of 1.65V to 3.6V, it boasts a maximum data rate of 150Mbps, making it suitable for high-bandwidth applications. The device utilizes advanced level-shifting techniques minimizing propagation delays (typical 4ns) and ensuring reliable signal integrity. Each of its eight channels features independent translation, allowing flexible signal routing. Common use cases include interfacing microcontrollers operating at 3.3V with peripherals operating at 1.8V, such as low-power sensors or memory interfaces. Its low power consumption (typically 10µA per channel in sleep mode) and small form factor are key advantages in space-constrained and battery-powered designs. The TXS0108ERGYR’s robust design, including ESD protection, contributes to enhanced system reliability. The device’s bidirectional nature eliminates the need for separate translators for transmit and receive paths, simplifying design complexity and reducing component count.
