Diodes Incorporated<\/a><\/strong> announces a new addition to its family of low voltage level translators, offering simple and autonomous bidirectional operation.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The PI4GTL2002 is a 2-bit level shifter designed to translate signals conditioned for one voltage level to signals at a higher or lower voltage, such as gunner transceiver logic (GTL) or GTL+ to LVTTL\/TTL. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As leading processor manufacturers continue to include GTL+ interfaces in their products, the need for high performance level translators is increasing in applications such as server\/data centres and networking. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The PI4GTL2002 meets that demand with the added benefit of not imposing the need for directional control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The open-drain design of the PI4GTL2002 means the device can translate voltage levels in either direction without incurring the design complexity or performance penalty of a dedicated direction control signal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The device operates in either direction, shifting between 0.8V and 5V (CMOS), with less than 1.5ns propagation delay between inputs and outputs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As such, the PI4GTL2002 can support a number of use cases, including standard and fast mode I2C. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The NMOS-based pass transistors in the design use a common gate to enable bidirectional operation, with reference voltages for each of the two signals. This enables the design team to apply a different voltage to either side of the device, allowing voltage translation between signals ranging from 0.8V to 5V. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pin-out of the PI4GTL2002 follows a convenient flow-through design, making PCB layout simpler. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A low input and output capacitance keeps the propagation delay low, while the device also features an on-resistance of just 3.5\u03a9 to minimise signal distortion. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
