App note from Nexperia that presents their LSF010x voltage level translator which uses parallel channels of pass transistors. Link here (PDF) System level designers are confronted with increasing complexity of modern electronic systems in which lower power and logic voltage levels are used. This may lead to incompatibility between input and output levels if different […]

App note: NVT4557/NVT4558/NVT4858 voltage-level translator layout guideline
App note from NXP Semiconductors on proper board layout guideline for NVT4557/NVT4558/NVT4858 voltage-level translators for optimal operation. Link here (PDF) High performance digital signals on modern microprocessors are designed using advanced CMOS process to take advantage of its low power consumption. However, CMOS logic has very fast edge rates in the range of 1 ns […]
App note: Low cost I2C level translator
2 Diodes, 3 resistors and a transistor here’s Silicon Labs’ low cost solution on voltage level translation. Link here This applications note discusses a low-cost circuit for I2C level translation. This circuit was developed for the Si701x, Si702x, and Si703x humidity sensors but will work in many applications. This circuit provides I2C level translation from […]
