Design Considerations

Translators enable communication when devices have mismatched logic voltage levels
Typically operates at 100 kbps, 400 kbps, or 3.4 Mbps
Requires auto-bidirectional, open-drain compatible voltage translators
Prevents damage to devices that cannot support higher voltage inputs
Improves data rates and signal integrity over discrete translation solutions
Protects controller while peripheral is not connected
