Ask AI about this product

Provide two-way communication capability at varied voltage levels to your electronics project with the TXS0108E.Ā This chip perform bidirectional level shifting from pretty much any voltage to any voltage and willĀ auto-detect the direction. Only thing that doesn't work well with this chip is i2c (because it uses strong pullups which confuse auto-direction sensor). If you need to use pullups, you can but they should be at least 50K ohm - the ones internal to AVRs/Arduino are about 100K ohm so those are OK! Its a little more luxurious than a 74LVC245 but if you just don't want to worry about directional pins this is a life saver!

Since this chip is a special bi-directional level shifter it does not have strong output pins that can drive LEDs or long cables, it's meant to sit on a breadboard between two logic chips!

This breakout saves you from having to solder the very fine pitch packages that this chip comes with. We also add 0.1uF caps onto both sides. You just need to make sure you enable the chip by pulling OE pin high.

  • VCCA side support voltage: 1.2V-3.6V
  • VCCB side support voltage: 1.65v-5.5v

What is the TXS0108E used for and how does it handle voltage levels?
It provides bidirectional level shifting between VCCA (1.2 to 3.6 V) and VCCB (1.65 to 5.5 V) and auto detects direction, so signals can flow between different voltage domains without directional pins.
Can this chip be used for I2C communication?
Not ideal for I2C as the strong pullups used by I2C can confuse the auto direction sensing. If you must use pullups, use at least 50K ohms; AVR or Arduino pullups around 100K are acceptable.
How do I enable the device on the breakout?
Enable by pulling the OE pin high. The breakout includes 0.1uF capacitors on both sides.
Is this a good alternative to a fixed direction buffer like the 74LVC245?
It is convenient because there are no directional pins to manage, but it is intended for inter chip communication on a breadboard and has limited drive for LEDs or long cables.
What should I know about using this breakout in a project?
It is designed for connecting two logic chips on a breadboard, supports VCCA 1.2-3.6 V and VCCB 1.65-5.5 V, and helps avoid soldering fine pitch packages.
