Level Shifter Board
TP240610
The Level Shifter Board provides embedded systems engineers with an easy and cost-effective method for interfacing Total Phase’s products with lower logic level devices. The Level Shifter Board is capable of down-shifting to all standard logic levels from 1.2 V to 3.3 V for the Aardvark™ I2C/SPI Host Adapter, the Beagle™ I2C/SPI Protocol Analyzer, and the Cheetah™ SPI Host Adapter. Engineers can also choose to power downstream devices.
- 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
