NLSX3012DR2G

The NLSX3012DR2G from ON Semiconductor is a 2-bit configurable, dual-supply, bidirectional level translator. It features auto-direction sensing, eliminating the need for a direction control pin. The device supports a wide VCC operating range from 1.3 V to 4.5 V and a VL supply rail configurable from 0.9 V to (VCC - 0.4) V.

This level translator is designed for high-speed applications, offering a guaranteed data rate of 100 Mbps, and up to 140 Mbps when VL is greater than 1.8 V. It also boasts low bit-to-bit skew and overvoltage tolerant enable and I/O pins. The output enable (EN) input, when low, disables both I/O ports by putting them in a 3-state condition, significantly reducing supply currents.

The NLSX3012DR2G is available in an 8-SOIC package, suitable for surface mount applications. Its operating temperature range is -40°C to 85°C (TA). This device is ideal for portable devices and PCs where voltage level translation between different logic families is required.

Key features include its auto-direction sensing capability, wide operating voltage range, and high-speed data transfer. The device also supports non-preferential power-up sequencing and Pb-free packaging.
