The BSS138 from Nexperia is an N-channel enhancement mode logic-level MOSFET in a SOT-23 package. With 60V drain-source voltage, 220 mA continuous drain current, and a low gate threshold voltage of 0.8-1.5V, it is specifically designed for level shifting in I2C, SPI, and UART communication between 1.8V and 5V logic domains. It is the most popular MOSFET for bidirectional voltage translation.<\/p>\n

With an ultra-low gate threshold of 0.8-1.5V, it enables voltage translation between 1.8V, 2.5V, 3.3V, and 5V logic domains for I2C, SPI, and UART buses. The SOT-23 package and 60V\/220mA rating make it the most widely used MOSFET for logic level conversion.","working_principle":"The BSS138 operates as an N-channel enhancement MOSFET with a very low gate threshold (0.8V minimum). In a typical level shifter circuit, two BSS138s are connected with drains tied to the high-voltage side (via pull-ups) and sources to the low-voltage side (via pull-ups). When one side pulls low, the MOSFET's body diode conducts, pulling the gate below threshold and turning on the MOSFET, which then pulls the other side low as well. This bidirectional pass-gate operation enables transparent voltage translation without directional control signals. The low VGS(th) ensures the MOSFET turns on even with 1.8V logic.","pin_description":"\n
