The voltage translators shown in the gure are the TXS0108E 8-bit bidireconal level shier
voltage translators for open drain and push-pull applicaons. The input voltage for the I/O to the
level translator is controlled from the VADJ, which operates in the range of 1.5V to 3.3V. With
the Versal ACAP, the I/O voltage on the XPIO (which is the primary I/O of the FMC) is a
maximum of 1.5V, so the default seng for using this FMC Pmod card is VADJ = 1.5V on the
XPIO I/O. On the output side of the level translator, this is converted to a 3.3V signal because
the Pmod specicaon is at 3.3V. 5V is also supported per the Pmod specicaon, but this
voltage is not supported without modicaon to the output power supplies of the level
translator, which are xed at 3.3V for the XM119 FMC board.

X24766-102620
Note: This level translator was specically chosen to allow bidireconal signaling at lower frequencies, such
as for I2C. The Pmod board is generic and can work with both the VCK190 and VMK180 development
kits. The pinouts are idencal between the boards, and usage should be straighorward.
Pin Mapping Pmod to FMC
The pin mapping is straighorward. The ACAP pins are connected to the input to the level
translators, which map to the output pins on the Pmod connector at 3.3V. See Figure 29 for
details.
