3 Description

The LSF0204-Q1 is automotive qualified four channel

auto bidirectional voltage translator that operate from

0.8 V to 4.5 V (Vref_A) and 1.8 V to 5.5 V (Vref_B).

This range allows for bidirectional voltage translations

between 0.8 V and 5.5 V without the need for a

direction pin.

When the An or Bn port is LOW, the switch is in

the ON-state and a low resistance connection exists

between the An and Bn ports. The low Ron of the

switch allows connections to be made with minimal

propagation delay and minimal signal distortion. The

voltage on the A or B side will be limited to Vref_A and

can be pulled up to any level between Vref_A and 5.5

V

The supply voltage (VPUn) for each channel may be

individually set up with a pull up resistor. For example,

CH1 may be used in up-translation mode (1.2 V ↔

3.3 V) and CH2 in down-translation mode (2.5 V ↔

1.8 V).

When EN is HIGH, the translator switch is on, and

the An I/O is connected to the Bn I/O, respectively,

allowing bidirectional data flow between ports. When

EN is LOW, the translator switch is off, and a high-

impedance state exists between ports. The EN input

circuit is designed to be supplied by Vref_A. EN must

be LOW to ensure the high-impedance state during

power-up or power-down.
