I2C LEVEL TRANSLATOR 1MHZ BIDIRECTIONAL 8TSSOP
NXP USA Inc.

Bypass caps, pull-ups, strapping resistors, custom silkscreen & more
Design a Custom BoardLevel-translating I2C-bus repeater supporting bidirectional buffering between 0.8V to 5.5V (Port A) and 2.2V to 5.5V (Port B) supplies. Isolates bus capacitance up to 540 pF at 1 MHz or 4000 pF at lower speeds, enabling multi-voltage I2C/SMBus systems. Features overvoltage-tolerant pins and adjustable static offset design for noise-free level shifting.
The 0.65mm pitch and tiny 3×3mm form factor make hand soldering challenging and impractical for breadboard prototyping. A breakout board converts this compact SMD package into a standard header layout, enabling reliable connections and rapid iteration without specialized soldering equipment or rework risk.
