1 Overview

The Level Shifter Board provides embedded systems engineers with an easy and cost-
e

ective 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. Engineers can also choose to power downstream devices.

1.1 Features

• Level shifting for I C, SPI, MDIO, and GPIO signals.

• On-board regulator to specify and power downstream devices to 1.2 V, 1.5 V,

1.8 V, 2.5 V, 3.0 V, and 3.3 V.

1.2 What's Included

The Level Shifter Board comes complete with:

• (1) Level Shifter Board

• (1) 6.0-inch 10-pin ribbon cable
