The GeeekPi 6Pack TXS0108E is an 8-channel logic level converter designed for seamless bi-directional communication between 3.3V and 5V devices. With a voltage range of 1.2V-5.5V, it supports various serial communication interfaces, making it an essential tool for hobbyists and professionals alike.

Works for me
Using to convert MIDI signals from 3.3 to 5 v and back. Also good for i2c

May need RC filter
Level shifter works as expected level shift 3.3 to 5v. on my orange pi 2w zero (allwinner h618 soc) the chip produced a nice 56Mhz oscillation from 3.2v to 2.0v with any input signal on port A. I had to add an RC filter on port B output (50-75ohm, 500pf - 1nf). If I had a sufficiently low value inductor I would have used an LC filter to preserve rise and fall times. Anyway, I ended up switching to a Schmidt trigger (sn74lvc-xxx) powered at 5v and had incredibly sharp transitions, no need for any filtering, just nice clean signal.TLDR: use a schmidt trigger for signals over ~400Kbps (YMMV)

great value
They do what they say

Tried all 6 for using with ws2811 pixels to convert 3.3v to 5v data signal.
Tried all 6 for using with ws2811 pixels to convert 3.3v to 5v data signal. Tried everything I could search for on the Internet with no luck. Switched to the 4 channel I2C modules and worked perfect. Don't think the units were defective but just not compatible with my application.

They don't work
Of the six, only one of them kinda worked (two channels of the eight). I looked through the TI datasheet (I'm an engineer) and I'm using it well within the rated specs. TI makes good parts so I'm guessing they die when whoever is placing them on the little board or when traveling in the individual plastic bags (not anti-static bags). Probably ESD the way they are packed.Save your time and money.

Won't work where others will - very repsonsive seller
One worked for five minutes before failing, the other five failed on a bench test. I've had a few other level converters not work for me, but none of the others have had this high of a failure rate. Seller was very responsive and tried to help, but I already tossed them in the round bin. Could've been a random issue with my setup, but they just didn't work for me.

Only 3 boards worked
Came as a pack of 6 boards. Only 3 worked. 2 were completely dead. 1 mostly worked but one pin was bad. The other 3 boards worked perfectly. So only expect to get a few working boards if you order this. Jury is still out on how long they will last...

Bad Solder joints. Did not work until I resoldiered chipset
I would not buy again. Seems like no quality control.
