Simply apply your low and high-side reference voltages to the VREF1 and VREF2 respectively, connect your I\/O and drive the Enable pin high to open bidirectional voltage translation without the use of a direction pin!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe've updated this classic board to use a new footprint as well as adding a second ground pin and breaking out the enable pin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/learn.sparkfun.com\/tutorials\/pca9306-logic-level-translator-hookup-guide-v2?_ga=2.97347420.2142004294.1605516428-416501732.1599036432\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eGet started with the SparkFun PCA9306 Level Translator Guide\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDocuments\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.sparkfun.com\/assets\/0\/1\/7\/0\/9\/SparkFun_Level_Translator_PCA9306.pdf\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eSchematic\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.sparkfun.com\/assets\/c\/6\/3\/8\/d\/PCA9306_Leval_Translator.zip\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eEagle Files\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/learn.sparkfun.com\/tutorials\/pca9306-logic-level-translator-hookup-guide-v2?_ga=2.97347420.2142004294.1605516428-416501732.1599036432\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eHookup Guide\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.sparkfun.com\/assets\/d\/2\/f\/7\/c\/pca9306.pdf\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eDatasheet\u003c\/a\u003e (PCA9306DC)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/sparkfun\/PCA9306_Level_Translator_Breakout\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eGitHub Hardware Repo\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Sparkfun","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32306667814995,"sku":"BOB-15439","price":5.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0174\/1800\/products\/15439-SparkFun_Level_Translator_Breakout_-_PCA9306-01a.jpg?v=1605519381","url":"https:\/\/shop.pimoroni.com\/en-eu\/products\/sparkfun-level-translator-breakout-pca9306-1","provider":"Pimoroni Ltd","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
