4.11 Voltage Translation

One popular application of the bus switch is voltage translation in a mixed-voltage environment. A simple NMOS can pass a signal from 0 V to VCC– VT, where VT is the threshold voltage of the NMOS. This characteristic can be used for down translation. Figure 4-4 shows an example of 5-V to 3.3-V translation using an NMOS series switch, diode, and resistors.

For voltage-translation applications, the switch is required to translate efficiently over a wide frequency range and is required to maintain the proper signal level. For example, when translating from a 5-V TTL to a 3.3-V LVTTL signal, the switch is required to maintain the required VOH (output high voltage) and VOL (output low voltage) of 3.3-V LVT TL signal. One important consideration is that the bus switch can be used only for down translation, for example, high to low-level. For low to high-level translation, additional components (for example, pullup resistors) are required.
