I'll explain the TXS0108E logic level converter. They're great for connecting between 3.3v logic devices (such as Raspberry Pi's & some sensors) & 5v logic devices such as an Arduino Uno. 👇 More info below 👇
A logic level translator / converter / shifter is a great tool, and they're cheap enough to keep several to hand for when you need it next.

Thank you very much for this clear video. This component is not complex to use and yet, thanks to this video, I have just found the answer to a problem that occupied me for many hours: if I had read correctly that setting OE to GND cut the connection between A and B, I thought that leaving OE floating was sufficient for the LLC to work. Thanks to the video, I connected OE to VA and surprise, it finally works, so I thank you warmly!

I broke the chip when I connected VA to 5V and VB to 3.3V :( : there's a weak voltage on the B side even if I don't connect stuff to the A side. I bought another chip but it doesn't work at all, in the datasheet I saw that OE must be connected to a resistor unlike what you did, do you think that omitting to put a resistor broke the chip?

@GabrielMedina23 7 месяцев назад

The resistor is included on the breakout board he showed, what isnt clear is that you have to also apply va to that pin. You found out the hard way that A side is the lowest voltage between the two sides

@jolugama Год назад

ask. a level shifter, it can be connected directly from a 5v 3a mobile charger, and transform it to 3.3v? How many amps does it hold? can I use it for something other than i2c, like a light bulb, what do I know, a sensor without i2c... etc?

@RobertLipe Год назад

"Yes" and "not very much at all". If you consult the data sheet on that part you'll see it's like 50mA max for the entire 8-channel part. It's very much for high-speed digital signalling and not a power supply. This is not a low-voltage drop-out regulator like a HT7333 or HT7833. So if your device was something like a 3.3V LCD display and you were tryign to attach it to something ancient that used 5V (oh, a PC printer port) you'd use this to drop the data lines, but to actually power the LCD and light up the 3.3v backlight, you'd still want that HT7333 or similar. Some LCDs have all this built onto the board. I'm just using it as an example with a clear definition between the wiggling signal part vs. the higher current part. For WS2812 (NeoPixels) we often use LLCs for the data pins to get a strong clean signal some distance away from our dainty 3.3V SOCs (like ESP32) but definitely feed the LED power (for brightness that can be seen from the moon from a separate 5v power source.

@jolugama Год назад

@@RobertLipe ooh. Thanks.

@saurabhdhiman718 Год назад

Upto what ferequency this level shifter works?

@RobertLipe Год назад

"How to fish" answer: Consult the data sheet. Search [ TXS0108E data sheet]. Since it's a digital device with some delays, the specs aren't so much in frequency as in bits per second (BPS) Open-drain performance is, of course, highly dependent upon the timing of your risign and falling edges since there's not a force to drive the signal quickly to either state.

@LucaMenny 3 года назад

great video! Could one of this lever shifter be used as voltage converter to trigger 5V relay on 3,3V GIPIO pins?

@petermuller608 3 года назад

Most relays need a certain current to engage the driver. Therefore I suggest using a MOSFET instead of a logic level converter. Logic level converters are best used for voltage driven communication, not for current driven applications

@oliverbroad4433 2 года назад

The pins of the TXS0108E will "float" to the positive supply unless driven low. On the similar part TXB0108E the pins will hold their current state (high or low) unless driven.

@gerardjuravich280 2 года назад

Can you help point me in the right direction. I am getting 0 level output using a TXS0108E between an Arduino and ESP32. The connection seems so obvious. The VA and VB are connected to 3.3 and 5.0. When I try to drive a high signal either direction through one of the channels, I read 0V on the channel output. The OE is tied to 3.3V. Is there something obvious I am missing?

@jelenobobak1662 Год назад

Hi, I found Power Supply Recommendations in the datasheet for this chip -> During operation, ensure that VCCA ≤ VCCB at all times. If I tied VA to 5V, VB to 3.3V and OE to 3.3V, the chip didn’t work and I had 0V on the outputs. Once I tied VA to 3.3V , OE to 3.3V and VB to 5V the chip worked as it should. Hope it helps.

Hi there! Sorry if this is not the place. I'm newbe into this topic :). I'm setting up TXS0108E along with a I2C for a LCD 2004 over a Raspy PI 4. The problem is that when i use TXS there is noise and looks unstable. Actually i was not able to send data to the LCD. However, if i do connect I2C directly, with no TXS it works like a charm. I tried several options like connecting OE to 3.3V directly, using a 10k resistance, using GND. But almost all combinations lead into noise. I can confirm i connected 3.3V into the VA and 5V into VB. SDA1 and SCL1 connected to the A side. And the I2C is connected on the B side. Any help will be appreciated. I'm on this because i read that not using this logical conversion may cause damage to the PI. Please let me know if this is wrong. Thanks again!

@claudioquintanilla1471 3 года назад

I had the same problem interfacing a Rpi Zero with a TTL serial comunication (IEC interface) TXS chip it's so sensible that cause problems, due to crosstalk over serial communication, I solved it using a twisted pair cable (like UTP network lan) so I connected one cable (of the pair twisted) to GND and the other one to data signal comunication. In that way, I solved the interference issues.
