7V Level Converter Plug-in for Serial Interface

The PLG-LCS-007 plug-in is a 7V level converter plug-in for GP Series devices, SPI Xpress and I²C Xpress devices. It allows using these devices with signal voltage levels higher than the 1.2V-3.3V standard of these devices, up to 7V with an external power supply.

The PLG-LCS-007 is plugged onto the GP or Xpress device connector. It is mounted with bi-directional voltage converters. The signal power is provided with an external power supply connector and allows operation from 4V to 7V. This hardware plug-in accessory is dedicated to serial interface bi-directional level conversion. Signal direction is automatically and dynamically managed by the plug-in.

Main features

*                Input voltage from 4V to 7V

*                Level converter for I²C bus, with optional pull-up resistors (activated with jumpers)

*                Level converter for SPI bus, modes master and analyser.

*                Bi-directional MISO/MOSI level converter for 3 wires SPI

*                Up to 30 MHz operation (preliminary)
