Product details
Overview
74AVC1T45DCKR from Texas Instruments is a single-bit dual-supply bus transceiver enabling bidirectional voltage-level translation between 1.2V, 1.5V, 1.8V, 2.5V, and 3.3V domains. It features independent VCCA (1.2–3.6V) and VCCB (1.2–3.6V) rails, ±12mA drive at 3.3V, 4.6V I/O tolerance, and VCC isolation for robust power sequencing. It is used in low-voltage interconnects between SoCs and peripherals in portable electronics.
For engineers reviewing the 74AVC1T45DCKR datasheet, 74AVC1T45DCKR pinout, 74AVC1T45DCKR application, or 74AVC1T45DCKR equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, NanoFree™ SOT-SC70-6 package details, directional control behavior, Ioff partial-power-down support, and real-world level-shifting use cases - all confirmed against TI SCES530L (Jan 2026).
Technical Context
The 74AVC1T45DCKR implements a noninverting dual-rail architecture where DIR (referenced to VCCA) controls data flow direction: high enables A→B transmission, low enables B→A. Both A and B I/Os remain active regardless of DIR state, requiring defined logic levels to avoid excess ICC/ICCZ.
VCC isolation ensures both ports enter high-impedance when either VCCA or VCCB = GND. Ioff circuitry disables outputs during partial power-down, preventing backflow current. The device supports up to 500Mbps (1.8V→3.3V), with propagation delays as low as 2.4ns (A→B, VCCA=1.2V/VCCB=3.3V) and enable times under 7ns.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCCA / VCCB Range | 1.2V to 3.6V each - enables universal translation across 1.2V/1.5V/1.8V/2.5V/3.3V nodes without external biasing |
| Max Data Rate | 500Mbps (1.8V→3.3V) - supports high-speed interface bridging in USB, SDIO, and low-power MCU peripherals |
| I/O Voltage Tolerance | 4.6V - allows safe interfacing with higher-voltage legacy signals while powered from 1.2V–3.3V supplies |
| Output Drive | ±12mA at 3.3V - sufficient to drive 50Ω transmission lines or multiple CMOS loads without external buffers |
| Propagation Delay (A→B) | 2.4ns typical (VCCA=1.2V, VCCB=3.3V) - enables sub-5ns timing margins in 200+MHz clock domains |
| Ioff Current | ±0.1µA max - ensures negligible leakage during system sleep modes, critical for battery-powered devices |
| ESD Rating | ±2000V HBM - meets industrial-grade robustness requirements without additional protection circuitry |
Pinout & Package
NanoFree™ SOT-SC70-6 (DCK) package: 2.0mm × 2.1mm footprint, ultra-thin profile, die-as-package construction for minimal parasitic inductance and thermal resistance (RθJA = 211.4°C/W).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - VCCA | A-port supply rail | Powers A-side logic and DIR input; sets A-port VIH/VIL thresholds and output swing |
| 2 - GND | Common reference | Single ground connection shared by both ports; no separate analog/digital grounds required |
| 3 - A | Bidirectional I/O (A side) | Signal terminal referenced to VCCA; accepts 1.2–3.6V inputs, drives 1.2–3.6V outputs |
| 4 - B | Bidirectional I/O (B side) | Signal terminal referenced to VCCB; accepts 1.2–3.6V inputs, drives 1.2–3.6V outputs |
| 5 - DIR | Direction control input | Referenced to VCCA; high = A→B, low = B→A; no internal pullup/pulldown - must be actively driven |
| 6 - VCCB | B-port supply rail | Powers B-side logic; sets B-port VIH/VIL thresholds and output swing independently of VCCA |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fully configurable dual-rail operation | Independent VCCA and VCCB (1.2–3.6V) allow arbitrary voltage node pairing - e.g., 1.2V MCU ↔ 3.3V sensor, no external resistors or regulators needed |
| VCC isolation | Automatic high-Z on both ports if either VCCA or VCCB = GND - prevents backfeeding and ensures safe hot-plug or power-rail sequencing |
| Ioff partial-power-down support | Outputs disabled with <±0.1µA leakage when VCCA or VCCB = 0V - eliminates contention and preserves battery life in standby states |
| NanoFree™ packaging | DCK package uses bare die as package - reduces board area by >40% vs. standard SOT-23, lowers inductance for cleaner signal integrity |
| 4.6V I/O tolerance | Withstands 4.6V on A/B pins even when VCCA/VCCB = 1.2V - enables direct connection to 5V-tolerant interfaces without level-shifter cascading |
Applications
| Mobile Sensor Interface | Low-Power MCU Peripherals |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage translation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC1T45DBVR | Lower drive strength (±8mA @ 3.3V); narrower VCC range (1.65–5.5V); no VCC isolation | Not suitable for 1.2V systems or hot-swap scenarios requiring rail-independent disable | Prefer 74AVC1T45DCKR when translating below 1.65V or requiring guaranteed high-Z on rail loss |
| TXS0101DCKR | Auto-direction sensing (no DIR pin); lower max speed (60Mbps); higher ICCZ in 3-state | Eliminates direction control logic but limits data rate and increases standby current | Choose 74AVC1T45DCKR for deterministic, high-speed bidirectional control with minimal leakage |
Compared with SN74LVC1T45DBVR and TXS0101DCKR, the 74AVC1T45DCKR uniquely supports 1.2V operation, offers VCC isolation for fail-safe power sequencing, and delivers 500Mbps performance with <2.5ns propagation delay - making it optimal for next-generation ultra-low-voltage, high-speed embedded interconnects.

FAQ
What is the minimum operating voltage for 74AVC1T45DCKR on VCCA and VCCB?
The 74AVC1T45DCKR operates with VCCA and VCCB independently set from 1.2V to 3.6V. Both rails may be as low as 1.2V simultaneously, enabling full functionality in 1.2V system domains - confirmed per TI SCES530L Section 5.3 Recommended Operating Conditions.
Does 74AVC1T45DCKR require external pull-up or pull-down resistors on the A or B pins?
No. The 74AVC1T45DCKR includes weak internal pulldowns on all data I/Os (A and B) to prevent floating states, as specified in Section 5.3 of the datasheet. External resistors are unnecessary unless specific bus-hold or termination requirements exist.
How does the DIR pin function in 74AVC1T45DCKR, and what voltage domain references it?
The DIR pin is referenced solely to VCCA and determines data direction: logic high enables A→B transmission, logic low enables B→A. It has no internal pullup/pulldown and must be actively driven - a design requirement explicitly stated in Section 7.4 Function Table and Figure 4-1 pin diagram.
Can 74AVC1T45DCKR safely interface a 1.2V device with a 5V signal source?
No. While the 74AVC1T45DCKR I/Os tolerate up to 4.6V, they are not 5V-tolerant. Applying 5V to A or B pins exceeds the absolute maximum rating and risks permanent damage. For 5V interfaces, use a 5V-tolerant translator such as SN74AVCH series or add clamping protection.
What thermal performance can be expected from the DCK (SOT-SC70) package of 74AVC1T45DCKR?
The DCK package delivers RθJA = 211.4°C/W (per Section 5.4 Thermal Information), enabling reliable operation at up to 85°C ambient with typical power dissipation (<1mW static, <5mW dynamic). Its NanoFree™ construction minimizes junction-to-board resistance (RθJB = 65.7°C/W), supporting compact thermal design in dense layouts.
