Technical Documents

The PCA9306 is a dual bidirectional I2C and SMBus voltage-level translator with an enable (EN) input. It is operational from 1.2 V to 3.3 V VREF1 and 1.8 V to 5.5 V VREF2. The device allows bidirectional voltage translations between 1.2 V and 5 V, without the use of a direction pin. It has a low ON-state resistance (RON) that enables connections to be made with minimal propagation delay

How do I choose the right voltage translator for my project?

Know your interface: Understand the voltage levels and signaling protocols used by the devices you want to connect. This includes the supply voltages, logic levels, and communication standards.  Consider the voltage translation direction: Determine whether you need a unidirectional or bidirectional voltage translator. Unidirectional translators are suitable when signals only need to go in one direction, while bidirectional translators allow signals to be translated in both directions.  Evaluate signal integrity requirements: If your application requires high signal integrity, consider using direction-controlled translators. These translators offer flexibility, ease of use, and excellent signal integrity for one-to-one communication between devices.
