SparkFun Voltage-Level Translator Breakout - TXB0104 visual previewSparkFun Voltage-Level Translator Breakout - TXB0104
SparkFun TXB0104 breakout. Treat as the TXB auto-direction branch: useful for compatible logic, not a blind replacement for I2C-safe shifters.
$5.95
SparkFun Logic Level Converter - Bi-Directional visual previewSparkFun Logic Level Converter - Bi-Directional
SparkFun BSS138-style bidirectional converter. Good low-cost choice for stepping 5 V signals down and 3.3 V signals up on slow/bidirectional logic lines.
$3.95
SparkFun Level Translator Breakout - PCA9306 visual previewSparkFun Level Translator Breakout - PCA9306
PCA9306 dual bidirectional I2C/SMBus translator. A reasonable reviewed option when the problem is specifically I2C or SMBus between low and high reference voltages.
$5.25
SparkFun Level Shifter - 8 Channel (TXS0108E) visual previewSparkFun Level Shifter - 8 Channel (TXS0108E)
SparkFun TXS0108E breakout. Supports open-drain and push-pull applications with different max data rates; verify signal type and rail range before swapping.
$5.57
2-Channel Level Converter (12V to 3.3V) visual preview2-Channel Level Converter (12V to 3.3V)
2-channel optocoupler-isolated converter for 12 V field signals into 3.3 V logic. Treat as industrial signal conditioning, not a drop-in replacement for I2C/TXB/TXS logic shifters.
$6.90
2-Channel Level Converter (12V to 5V) visual preview2-Channel Level Converter (12V to 5V)
2-channel optocoupler-isolated converter for 12 V field signals into 5 V logic. Useful when the problem is PLC/sensor-level 12 V signaling, not board-to-board 3.3 V/5 V buses.
$6.90
4-Channel Level Converter (12V to 5V) visual preview4-Channel Level Converter (12V to 5V)
4-channel optocoupler-isolated 12 V to 5 V converter. Same industrial branch as DFR0912 with more channels; not a generic bidirectional GPIO shifter.
