Logic level shifting may be required when interfacing legacy devices with newer devices that use a smaller geometry process. For bidirectional bus systems like the I2C-bus, such a level shifter must ...

VLSI technology is enabling the realization of complex System on Chip (SoC) designs where different parts of a system, such as analog and digital circuits, as well as passive components, are ...

Toshiba is aiming at UART and SPI interfaces with three four-channel dual-supply level-translator-transceivers. “The bus transceivers support level-up and level-down voltage translation from either of ...

One part wants 3.3V logic. Another wants 5V. What do you do? Over on the [Playduino] YouTube channel, there’s a recent video running us through a not-so-recent concern: various approaches to ...

The iC-MFL is a monolithically integrated, eight-channel level shifter for driving logic FETs. The device’s internal circuit blocks have been designed in such a way that with single errors, such as ...

During board bring-up and multimeter probing, he found that the 1.8 V-shifted RESET signal went down to 1.0V — and its 3.3 V counterpart stayed at 2.6V. Was it a current fight between GPIOs? A faulty ...

When designing a system, one of the most important design decisions is choosing what voltage domain(s) to use. Some voltage domains, such as 5 V, are good for noisy and harsh operating environments ...
