Configurable dual-voltage supply translator solves compatibility issues in I2C bus applications

August 20, 2010 | Paul Buckley | 222901357
Configurable dual-voltage supply translator solves compatibility issues in I2C bus applications Fairchild Semiconductor has developed a configurable dual-voltage supply translator and level shifter that translates voltage levels in I2C bus interface applications.  
TheFXMA2102 is a high performance translator designed for bi-directional voltage translation between any two levels from 1.65 V to 5.5 V. The two ports of the device have auto-direction sensing capability, allowing either port to sense an input signal and transfer it as an output signal to the other port.     

Fairchild's device accommodates standard and fast I2C bus modes, and works as a translator, buffer and repeater. Additionally, theFXMA2102 features non-preferential power-up, allowing either VCC to be powered-up first. Inputs and outputs track VCC levels, making the device fully configurable. Additionally, the open drain inputs/outputs allow the device to work in push-pull and open drain environments.     

TheFXMA2102 maximizes load capacitance on the I2C bus, offers lower power consumption than competitive devices and provides ESD protection that exceeds 8 kV HBM. Available in an 8-terminal leadless MicroPak package (1.6 mm x 1.6 mm) or Ultrathin MLP (1.2 mm x 1.4 mm), theFXMA2102 is ideal for use in Smartphones, mobile phones, netbooks, smartbooks, mobile internet devices, portable medical devices and set-top-box designs.     

Availability and Pricing  

Samples of the FXMA2102 are available now.  Priced at 0.25 US Dollars in 1,000 quantity pieces.
