1 Introduction

The LXC family is an addition to TI's Direction-controlled Level Translation portfolio. This family has a wide supply range of 1.1 V to 5.5 V making ideal for any system using common digital I/O voltages. The LXC family name comes from it being the next generation to the current popular LVC family of voltage translation devices. This allows for easy interchangeability while still maintaining the current circuit design and popular parameters like the high drive strength. However, the LXC family benefits from new design process advancments allowing it to have other improved parameters like lower power consumption making it better suited for battery powered applications. To take it a step further, the LXC family is packed with features making it robust for harsher noise environments that can be seen in both automotive and industrial systems.
