Voltage Level Translator features auto-direction circuitry.
Press Release Summary:
With TXS0206 Secure Digital/MultiMedia Card level shifter, engineers can bridge gap between 2 disparate voltage nodes while maintaining digital switching capability. Unit features clock frequencies up to 52 MHz, data rates up to 60 Mbps, built-in ESD protection, and EMI filter circuitry. Housed in 2 x 1.6 mm wafer chip-scale package, device supports 1.2, 1.5, 1.8, 2.5, and 3.3 V power supply voltages and is suited for mobile handsets, digital cameras, and portable navigation devices.
Original Press Release:
Consumer Electronics Designers Save Cost and Board Space with the Industry's Smallest, Most Highly Integrated SD/MMC Voltage Level Translator
Eliminates the need for more than 10 external discrete components
DALLAS, Jan. 15 /-- Engineers can now bridge the gap between two disparate voltage nodes while maintaining digital switching compatibility by using a tiny, highly integrated Secure Digital (SD)/MultiMedia Card (MMC) level shifter, introduced today by Texas Instruments (TI) (NYSE:TXN). The translator's auto-direction circuitry simplifies board design by eliminating the need for customers to program a General Purpose Input/Output (GPIO) on a processor for direction control and thereby reduces the number of required pins. Highly integrated features of the TXS0206, packaged in a 2 mm x 1.6 mm wafer chip-scale package (WCSP), eliminate the need for more than 10 external discrete components and reduce overall system cost in consumer electronics, such as mobile handsets, digital cameras and portable navigation devices.
