Hello,

I am work with LSM303AH which working normally with 1.8 v.

My MCU works and provide 3.3v only.

I am looking for level shifter 3.3v to 1.8 v and vice-versa, for powering, I2C communication and logic high conversion.

Do you have any device to suggest ?

regards

But how i can shift high and low level of INT_MAG/DRDY (high level 1.8 v -> 3.3v )?

SN74LVC1T45? Or with INT_MAP pulled to 1.8V with a resistor and driving the base of an NPN

Do you suggest me BCP56-16 transistor ?

BCP56-16 seems oversized. If you have problems with dimensioning an transistor inverter, either read some books (AOE, Tietze Schenk) to learn the basics or stay with the 74T45.

Thank you for for suggestions.

What do you think about this device BOB-11771 ?

With 4*4 input*output, i can shift the SCL and SDA an other pins.

 AUTO-DIRECTION SENSING devices are sensible parts. Reflection on open wires can upset them. It may work, if you know what you are doing and do things in s sensible way, but expect problems in corner cases. Dedicated I2C level shifts will work in a wider range of setups.

As some user stated: "whereas for open-drain signals such as I2C, the BOB-12009 is a better option"
