NXP Voltage Translators (NVT) are used in bidirectional signaling voltage
level translation applications for I/O buses with incompatible logic levels.
The NVT2008 and NVT2010 are eight- and ten-channel voltage
translators, operational from 1.0 V to 3.6 V at V
CC(A)
(low voltage side) and
1.8 V to 5.5 V at V
CC(B)
(high voltage side) without direction control for
open-drain or push-pull I/O devices.

NVT2008PW and NVT2010PW demo boards
1. Introduction
The NVT2008PW (OM13317) and NVT2010PW (OM13324) demo boards are designed
to let customers evaluate the NXP 8-channel and 10-channel bidirectional voltage level
translators. The demo boards interface between device I/Os operating at different voltage
levels. Since the NVT2008PW and NVT2010PW devices are passive devices, pull-up
resistors may be needed depending on the I/O interface type (totem pole or open-drain),
difference in translation voltage, and the translation direction (high-to-low voltage,
low-to-high voltage, or bidirectional). The NVT2008PW and NVT2010PW devices allow
translations between any voltages from 1.0 V to 5.5 V.
Please refer to NVT2008/NVT2010 data sheet (Ref.
1)
and application note
AN11127
(Ref.

2. Hardware description
2.1 Schematic
The demo boards contain footprints for the NVT2008PW and NVT2010PW devices, the
jumpers, headers, and passive components are shared. The NVT2008PW and
NVT2010PW demo board schematic is shown in
Figure 2.
Pins 2 and 3 on J1 must be
shorted to enable the part. Pins 1 and 12 on J2 are power and GND for the low voltage
side. Pins 1 and 12 on J4 are power and GND for the high voltage side. All Bn I/O pins on
the right side have 10 kΩ pull-up resistors to VREFB and all An I/O pins on the left side
have 10 kΩ pull-up resistors to VREFA through jumper J3. A shunt must be installed at J3
if VREFB
−
VREFA < 1 V. If VREFB
−
VREFA
≥
1 V, then the J3 jumper should be open
and resistors R2 through R11 must be removed. If they are not removed, then a resistive
path exists between the A-side I/Os that can impact the efficiency and signal integrity of
the solution.
