Level Translators

Components Direct offers low-cost and high performance level translators for its customer base. Level translators allow bidirectional voltage translations between two different reference voltages. There is a constant level translation between high and low voltages, which are selected by the designer. When an enable pin is high, the translator switch is on and bi-directional information can flow between the ports. However, when the enable pin is low, the translator switch is off and a high-impedance state occurs between the ports.
