Texas Instruments TXG1010 Ground Level Translator

Texas Instruments TXG1010 Ground Level Translator is a 1-bit, fixed-direction, non-galvanic voltage and ground-level translator that supports both ground-level shifting up to ±10V and logic-level shifting between 1.71V and 5.5V. Compared to traditional level shifters, the TXG1010 family can solve the challenges of voltage translation across different ground levels. The Simplified Diagram shows a common use case in which a DC shift occurs between GNDA and GNDB due to parasitic resistance or capacitance.

VCCA is referenced to GNDA, and VCCB is referenced to GNDB. The Ax pins are referenced to the VCCA logic level, while the Bx pins are referenced to the VCCB logic level. Both A port and B port can accept voltages from 1.71V to 5.5V. The leakage between GNDA and GNDB is < 10nA when VCC and GND are shorted.

The Texas Instruments TXG1010 device helps improve power sequencing and noise immunity across different ground domains while providing low latency, power consumption, and channel-to-channel skew. It can suppress noise levels of 20VPP up to 45MHz. This device can support multiple interfaces, including UART, GPIO, and JTAG.
