Key Features

Level shifting for I2C, SPI, MDIO, and GPIO signals

Supports voltage levels of 1.2V, 1.5V, 1.8V, 2.5V, 3.0V, and 3.3V

Supply power to downstream devices

I2C speeds of 800 kHz

SPI and MDIO speeds of 20 MHz

Tech Specs

Power Consumption

Will draw approximately 6 mA from the Adapter/Analyzer side when configured to power the target device
Will draw approximately 4 mA when the target is supplying its own power
Will draw approximately 1 mA on the Target side of the target device is supplying power to the board

Speed

I2C communication up to 800 kHz
SPI/MDIO communication up to 18 MHz when shifting to 1.2 V and up to 20 MHz when shifting to 3.3 V*

*This is dependent on specific configurations and the timing specification of the target device

Works well

This level shifter board saved me days of development. It has worked seamlessly. I can control the 1.8V I2C busses on my product from my Aardvark I2C/SPI host adapter.

I really happy for using this level-shifter with Aardvark SPI/I2C adapter for our 1.8V IOs in chip side. They works flawlessly in both HW and SW sides thanks to TotalPhase high quality product.

Who knows when you get a low voltage I2C system to debug. Keep your aardvarks and beagles, and add a few of these boards to your tool kit.
