NLSX5014MUTAG

The NLSX5014 is a 4-bit configurable dual-supply autosensing
bidirectional level translator that does not require a direction control
pin. The I/O VCC- and I/O VL-ports are designed to track two
different power supply rails, VCC and VL respectively. Both the VCC
and the VL supply rails are configurable from 0.9 V to 4.5 V. This
allows a logic signal on the VL side to be translated to either a higher
or a lower logic signal voltage on the VCC side, and vice-versa.
The NLSX5014 offers the feature that the values of the VCC and
VL supplies are independent. Design flexibility is maximized
because VL can be set to a value either greater than or less than the
VCC supply. In contrast, the majority of competitive auto sense
translators have a restriction that the value of the VL supply must be
equal to less than (VCC – 0.4) V.
The NLSX5014 has high output current capability, which allows the
translator to drive high capacitive loads such as most high frequency
EMI filters. Another feature of the NLSX5014 is that each I/O_VLn and
I/O_VCCn channel can function as either an input or an output.
An Output Enable (EN) input is available to reduce the power
consumption. The EN pin can be used to disable both I/O ports by
putting them in 3-state which significantly reduces the supply current
from both VCC and VL. The EN signal is referenced to the VL supply.
