Achieve High-Speed Connectivity with ETEK’s Advanced 8-Channel Bidirectional Level Shifter

Are you struggling to bridge the gap between different voltage domains in your latest electronic design? In today’s fast-paced world of 5G connectivity, AI-driven decision-making, and the expansive Internet of Things (IoT), your devices need to be faster and smarter than ever before. To keep up with these demands, a reliable bidirectional level shifter is no longer just an option—it is a necessity. ETEK is proud to introduce the ETS0108, a high-performance 8-channel level shifter designed to solve your complex signal compatibility challenges with ease.

Why Your Design Needs a High-Performance Bidirectional Level Shifter

In modern digital systems, signal transmission serves as the “nervous system” of a device. You often face the difficult task of managing multiple voltages and protocols while maintaining low latency and high efficiency. The ETS0108 is engineered specifically to meet these rigorous requirements. Whether you are working with 1.8V or 5V systems, this chip ensures that your data flows seamlessly across different power environments without the need for a direction-control signal.

Seamless Integration with Automatic Direction Sensing

One of the standout features of this bidirectional level shifter is its ability to automatically detect the direction of data flow. This eliminates the need for additional control pins from the microcontroller, significantly reducing system integration complexity. By simplifying your circuit layout, you can focus more on your product’s core functionality and less on signal management complexity.

Furthermore, the ETS0108 comes with integrated 10kΩ pull-up resistors on both the input and output ports. This built-in feature reduces the number of external components you need on your PCB, saving precious board space and lowering your overall bill of materials (BOM) costs.

Optimized Speed for Every Protocol

Not all signals are created equal, and your bidirectional level shifter should be versatile enough to handle them all. The ETS0108 supports a wide range of communication protocols, including I²C, UART, and SPI. Depending on the application’s configuration, the chip supports the following data rates:

• Push-Pull Applications: Achieve data rates up to 24Mbps, perfect for high-speed SPI or UART communication.

• Open-Drain Applications: Maintain stable 2Mbps transmission, ideal for standard I²C setups.

The wide operating voltage range further enhances its flexibility. VCCA operates from 1.65 V to 3.6 V, while VCCB supports 2.3 V to 5.5 V, provided that VCCA is less than or equal to VCCB.

Advanced “One-Shot” Technology for Signal Integrity

To ensure your signals remain crisp and clear at high frequencies, the ETS0108 incorporates advanced “one-shot” accelerator technology. When the bidirectional level shifter detects a rising edge on either the A or B ports, an internal one-shot trigger briefly activates a pull-up MOS transistor. This “accelerator” speeds up the transition from a low-level state to a high-level state, effectively combating the effects of parasitic capacitance and ensuring your data reaches its destination with delays in the nanosecond range.

Built for Reliability and Durability

Industrial and consumer electronics often operate in environments where electrostatic discharge (ESD) is a major concern. ETEK has designed this bidirectional level shifter with robust protection in mind. The B-port features an HBM (Human Body Model) ESD rating of up to 8kV, providing your system with an extra layer of defense against static damage. All these features are integrated into a compact TSSOP20 package, measuring just 4.4mm×6.5mm, ensuring it fits perfectly even in the most space-constrained designs.
