Typical Applications

TXS0102DCUR is suitable for 6 applications: I2C Level Shifting, UART Level Shifting, Sensor Interfacing, SMBus Communication, Mixed-Voltage Logic Interfacing, Consumer Electronics.

🧩

I2C Level Shifting

The TXS0102DCUR is ideal for I2C level shifting between 1.8V, 2.5V, 3.3V, and 5V devices. Its open-drain support and auto-direction sensing allow seamless bidirectional communication without a direction pin. With a 2 Mbps open-drain data rate, it comfortably handles standard and fast-mode I2C (up to 400 kbps). The device's one-shot architecture accelerates rising edges, ensuring reliable operation with capacitive loads typical of I2C buses. Place pull-up resistors on both A and B sides as required by the I2C specification.

🌐

UART Level Shifting

The TXS0102DCUR is well-suited for UART communication between 3.3V microcontrollers and 5V peripherals. Its push-pull data rate of 24 Mbps far exceeds typical UART speeds (up to a few Mbps), providing ample margin. The auto-direction sensing simplifies the connection of TX and RX lines, as no direction control is needed. The device's low quiescent current and wide VCCA/VCCB range make it versatile for battery-powered and industrial applications. Ensure proper decoupling on VCCA and VCCB to maintain signal integrity.

πŸ”§

Sensor Interfacing

The TXS0102DCUR enables interfacing between low-voltage sensors (e.g., 1.8V) and higher-voltage microcontrollers (e.g., 3.3V or 5V). Its bidirectional capability supports both data and control lines, such as interrupt outputs and enable signals. The device's open-drain support is particularly useful for sensors with open-drain outputs. With a wide operating temperature range of -40Β°C to 85Β°C, it is suitable for industrial and automotive environments. The small VSSOP-8 package saves board space in compact designs.

πŸ–₯️

SMBus Communication

The TXS0102DCUR is compatible with SMBus, which is similar to I2C but with stricter timing and voltage requirements. Its open-drain data rate of 2 Mbps exceeds SMBus's maximum of 100 kbps, ensuring reliable operation. The device's auto-direction sensing and lack of direction control simplify SMBus design. The VCCA range of 1.65V to 3.6V and VCCB range of 2.3V to 5.5V cover typical SMBus voltage domains. Use appropriate pull-up resistors as specified by the SMBus specification.

πŸ”§

Mixed-Voltage Logic Interfacing

The TXS0102DCUR is used to interface between different logic voltage levels in mixed-voltage systems, such as connecting a 1.8V FPGA to a 3.3V peripheral. Its push-pull data rate of 24 Mbps supports high-speed signals, making it suitable for SPI and other synchronous interfaces. The device's auto-direction sensing eliminates the need for direction control, reducing GPIO usage. The VSSOP-8 package is ideal for space-constrained designs. Ensure that the OE pin is properly controlled to avoid bus contention during power-up.

πŸ“±

Consumer Electronics

Key Differentiators

  • Supports open-drain and push-pull applications (vs TXB0102DCUR)
  • Auto-direction sensing (vs TXS0102DCU)
  • Cost-effective cross-brand alternative (vs UM3202V)

Design Notes

Place decoupling capacitors (0.1uF) close to VCCA and VCCB pins to ensure stable operation. Use a ground plane to minimize noise and ensure signal integrity. Keep traces short and direct for high-speed signals.

Ensure that the OE pin is properly controlled. When OE is low, the outputs are disabled and the device is in high-impedance state. Do not leave OE floating; connect it to VCCA or a logic high to enable the device.

For open-drain applications, external pull-up resistors are required on both A and B sides. The value of the pull-up resistors should be chosen based on the bus capacitance and desired data rate. For I2C, typical values are 4.7k ohms for 100 kbps and 2.2k ohms for 400 kbps.
