Fermion: TXS0108E 8-Bit Level Translator (Breakout)

This level conversion module from DFRobot tackles the common issue of sensor and controller incompatibility by providing a robust solution for voltage level mismatches. It prevents potential damage and economic losses due to incompatible open-source products, offering a seamless experience in a diverse range of applications.

The module features an 8-bit non-inverting translator equipped with two independently configurable power-supply rails. The A port of the device is engineered to follow VCCA, which can accept a supply voltage ranging from 1.2 V to 3.6 V. Notably, VCCA must remain equal to or less than VCCB. The B port is likewise designed to track VCCB, accommodating supply voltages between 1.65 V and 5.5 V.

With this setup, smooth low-voltage bidirectional translation is achievable across various voltage nodes like 1.2V, 1.8V, 2.5V, 3.3V, and 5V. The module intelligently tracks power supply changes, and its conversion speed reaches up to 60Mbps in push-pull setups. This makes it ideally suited for use in communication protocols like I2C, UART, SPI, and OneWire, ensuring high compatibility and efficient performance in signal transformation tasks.
