Logic Level Converter Products

Description

When you need to interface two devices with different I/OInput/Output voltage levels, such as a 3.3V device to a 5V device, then some external circuitry is required to perform voltage level shifting/conversion in order to protect the 3.3V device from 5V. The bi-directional level converter shifts a high voltage signal to a low voltage signal and viceversa.

The Bi-Directional Logic Level Converters provided below include FET Modules, Logic Level Shifter ICs, TXB0104 and TXB0108 Modules, and TXS0108E Modules. More details on these ICs and modules can be found in the Logic Level Converters article.

SparkFun BOB-12009 FET Logic Level Converter - Bi-Directional

Package includes:

1x FET Logic Level Converter

+ About this item:

The FET bi-directional logic level converter safely steps down 5V signals to 3.3V and steps up 3.3V to 5V at the same time. This level converter also works with 2.8V and 1.8V devices.

Works with either open-drain output pull-up based devices (I2C, 1-Wire), or push-pull outputs lines (SPI, mono directional lines, and parallel bus).
Has the capability of converting 4 pins on the high side to 4 pins on the low side
The board needs to be powered from the two voltages sources (high voltage and low voltage) that your system is using. High voltage (5V for example) to the 'HV' pin, low voltage (3.3V for example) to 'LV', and ground from the system to the 'GND' pin.
Board Size: 16.05mm x 13.33mm (0.63in x 0.52in)
