## Description

The SparkFun Bi-Directional Logic Level Converter safely translates signals between different voltage levels — stepping 5V down to 3.3V and 3.3V up to 5V on the same channel. It also works with 2.8V and 1.8V devices, making it a versatile bridge between mixed-voltage systems. Each board provides 4 bi-directional channels with clearly labelled high-side and low-side pins. Simply connect your high voltage to HV, low voltage to LV, and a common ground — signals are shifted automatically in both directions. Key Features Bi-Directional – Steps up and steps down on the same channel simultaneously 4 Channels – Convert 4 signals at once (2 inputs + 2 outputs per side) Flexible Voltage – Works with 1.8V, 2.8V, 3.3V, and 5V logic levels BSS138 MOSFETs – Reliable, proven level-shifting circuit Compact – 16.05 × 13.33 mm (0.63" × 0.52") Ideal For Connecting 3.3V sensors to 5V Arduino boards Interfacing Raspberry Pi (3.3V) with 5V peripherals I²C and SPI bus level shifting Any project mixing different logic voltage levels Package Contents 1× SparkFun Bi-Directional Logic Level Converter Resources Hookup Guide Schematic (PDF) BSS138 Datasheet (PDF) GitHub – Design Files
