NXP Voltage Translators (NVT) are used in bidirectional signaling voltage
level translation applications for I/O buses with incompatible logic levels.
The NVT2003, NVT2004, and NVT2006 are three-, four- and six-channel
voltage translators, operational from 1.0 V to 3.6 V at V
CC(A)
(low voltage
side) and from 1.8 V to 5.5 V at V
CC(B)
(high voltage side) without
directional control for open-drain or push-pull I/O devices.

NVT2003DP, NVT2004TL and NVT2006PW demo boards
1. Introduction
The NVT2003DP (OM13319), NVT2004TL (OM13316) and NVT2006PW (OM13323)
demo boards are designed to evaluate the NXP 3-channel, 4-channel and 6-channel
bidirectional voltage level translators. The demo boards interface between device I/Os
operating at different voltage levels. Since the NVT2003DP, NVT2004TL and
NVT2006PW 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
NVT2003DP, NVT2004TL and NVT2006PW devices allow translations between any
voltages from 1.0 V to 5.5 V.

2. Hardware description
2.1 Schematic
The demo boards contain footprints for the NVT2003DP, NVT2004TL and NVT2006PW,
where the jumpers, headers, and passive components are shared. The NVT2003DP,
NVT2004TL and NVT2006PW demo board schematic is shown in
Figure 2.
Pin 2 and
pin 3 on J1 need to be shorted to enable the part. Pin 1 and pin 8 on J3 are power and
GND for the low voltage side. Pin 1 and pin 8 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 J2.
A shunt needs to be installed at J2 if VREFB
−
VREFA < 1 V. If VREFB
−
VREFA
≥
1 V,
then the J2 should be open and resistors R2 through R7 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.
Jumper:
ON: if VREFB − VREFA < 1 V
(populated 10 kΩ pull-up resistors)
OFF: if VREFB − VREFA ≥ 1 V
(do not populate 10 kΩ pull-up resistors)
