SFUptownMaker Introduction
The TXB0104 is a bi-directional signal level shifter made by Texas Instruments. It features four channels of input/output signals and an output enable line that allows the signal lines to be placed in a high impedance mode when they are unneeded.
Depending on the high and low side voltages, the bandwidth on the individual signal channels can range from 20Mbps up to 100Mbps, making the TXB0104 suitable for higher speed signals such as SPI.
SparkFun's TXB0104 breakout board makes it easy to use this powerful chip in your projects.
