Product details
Overview
74AVC2T45 from Nexperia is a dual-bit, dual-supply voltage level translator/transceiver enabling bidirectional logic-level translation between 0.8 V and 3.6 V domains. It features independent VCC(A) and VCC(B) supplies, DIR-controlled directionality (A↔B), and IOFF circuitry for partial power-down protection. Used in mixed-voltage SoC interfacing, such as connecting a 1.8 V FPGA I/O bank to a 3.3 V sensor bus.
For engineers reviewing the 74AVC2T45 datasheet, 74AVC2T45 pinout, 74AVC2T45 application, or 74AVC2T45 equivalent, key selection factors include its 500 Mbit/s max data rate (1.8 V–3.3 V), Suspend mode behavior during single-rail power loss, IOFF leakage < ±1 μA at 0 V supply, and JEDEC-compliant voltage thresholds across six logic families.
Technical Context
The device implements a dual-rail CMOS transceiver architecture with separate input-referenced control (DIR tied to VCC(A)) and output-referenced I/O ports (1A/2A to VCC(A), 1B/2B to VCC(B)). Direction switching is synchronous with DIR edge transitions, and propagation delay varies with supply pairing - e.g., A→B tpd = 7.7 ns at VCC(A)=1.8 V / VCC(B)=1.8 V, but 9.2 ns at VCC(A)=1.8 V / VCC(B)=3.3 V.
Suspend mode activates when either VCC(A) or VCC(B) = GND, forcing both ports into high-impedance OFF-state (Z) regardless of DIR state. The IOFF circuit blocks backflow current by disabling outputs during asymmetric power-down, meeting JESD78 Class II latch-up immunity (>100 mA).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Range | VCC(A): 0.8 V–3.6 V; VCC(B): 0.8 V–3.6 V - enables translation between any two low-voltage nodes (e.g., 1.2 V ↔ 2.5 V, 1.8 V ↔ 3.3 V) |
| Max Data Rate | 500 Mbit/s - achievable only for 1.8 V–3.3 V translation; drops to 320 Mbit/s for sub-1.8 V translations |
| Propagation Delay | A→B: 7.7 ns typical @ 1.8 V/1.8 V; B→A: 12.2 ns typical @ 1.8 V/1.8 V - asymmetry arises from internal path routing |
| IOFF Leakage | < ±1 μA @ VCC(A)=0 V, VCC(B)=3.6 V - prevents damaging backflow current during partial power-down |
| ESD Protection | HBM: >8000 V; CDM: >1000 V - exceeds JEDEC JS-001/JS-002 requirements for robust board handling |
| Operating Temp | −40 °C to +125 °C - qualified for automotive under-hood and industrial control applications |
| Input Thresholds | VIH = 0.65×VCC(A) min @ 1.1–1.95 V; VIL = 0.35×VCC(A) max - ensures noise margin across JEDEC standards JESD8-11/8-7 |
Pinout & Package
Available in multiple compact packages: TSSOP8 (SOT505-2), VSSOP8 (SOT765-1), and XSON8 variants (SOT833-1, SOT1116, SOT1203, SOT1233-2). All are 8-terminal, surface-mount, leadless or gull-wing designs with thermal enhancements per variant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | VCC(A) | Supply rail for A-side I/O (1A, 2A) and DIR input - defines logic thresholds for control and A-port signals |
| 2 | 1A | Bidirectional data terminal referenced to VCC(A); functions as input or output depending on DIR state |
| 3 | 2A | Second bidirectional A-side terminal - identical electrical behavior to 1A, independent channel |
| 4 | GND | Common reference ground for both supply domains - mandatory connection before VCC rails per power-up guidance |
| 5 | DIR | Direction control input referenced to VCC(A); HIGH = A→B, LOW = B→A - no internal pull-up/pull-down |
| 6 | 2B | Bidirectional data terminal referenced to VCC(B); mirrors 1B functionality with independent signal path |
| 7 | 1B | Bidirectional data terminal referenced to VCC(B); active only when DIR selects B→A or A→B path |
| 8 | VCC(B) | Supply rail for B-side I/O (1B, 2B) - sets output voltage levels and input thresholds for B-port signals |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual-supply translation | Independent VCC(A)/VCC(B) rails allow simultaneous interfacing of heterogeneous voltage domains without external level-shifting components |
| IOFF partial power-down | Automatically disables outputs and limits leakage to <±1 μA when either VCC rail is at 0 V - eliminates need for external isolation switches |
| Suspend mode | Both A and B ports enter high-impedance Z-state if VCC(A) = GND or VCC(B) = GND - prevents bus contention during rail sequencing faults |
| JEDEC compliance | Meets JESD8-12 through JESD8-B across 0.8–3.6 V range - guarantees interoperability with legacy and next-gen logic families |
| High-speed operation | 500 Mbit/s max data rate with sub-10 ns propagation delays supports DDR memory interfaces and high-throughput sensor links |

| Mobile Baseband Interface | FPGA-to-ASIC Interconnect |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-supply voltage translation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Texas Instruments TXB0102 | Auto-direction sensing (no DIR pin); higher ICC (25 μA typ vs. 16 μA); 320 Mbit/s max | Eliminates system-level DIR control logic but adds capacitive loading sensitivity; less suitable for deterministic bidirectional protocols like SPI | Select when DIR pin routing is constrained and direction changes are infrequent; avoid for high-frequency bidirectional buses. |
| ON Semiconductor NLSX4014MUTAG | 4-channel; push-pull outputs only; no 3-state; 240 Mbit/s max; VCC range 1.65–4.5 V | Lacks Suspend mode and IOFF - requires external power sequencing control; limited to 1.65+ V domains | Choose for cost-sensitive 4-channel applications where both rails ≥1.65 V and partial power-down is not required. |
Compared with TXB0102 and NLSX4014MUTAG, the 74AVC2T45 provides deterministic DIR-controlled directionality, lowest static current (16 μA), and guaranteed Suspend mode behavior - making it optimal for safety-critical and mixed-rail industrial systems requiring predictable power-down states.

FAQ
What is the minimum valid voltage difference between VCC(A) and VCC(B)?
No minimum voltage difference is specified - the device operates correctly with VCC(A) = VCC(B) = 0.8 V or VCC(A) = 0.8 V / VCC(B) = 3.6 V. Static and dynamic parameters are characterized across the full 0.8–3.6 V range for each rail independently, per Tables 6 and 9–13.
Can DIR be driven from a different supply than VCC(A)?
No - DIR is explicitly referenced to VCC(A) per Table 3 and Section 7. Driving DIR from another rail violates absolute maximum ratings and may cause undefined logic states or increased leakage. A level shifter is required if DIR originates from a non-VCC(A) domain.
Does the device support hot insertion when one VCC rail is already powered?
Yes - IOFF circuitry ensures safe hot insertion: when VCC(A) is powered and VCC(B) is floating or grounded, A-port outputs are disabled and leakage remains <±1 μA. However, VCC(B) must be ramped within recommended operating conditions before applying signals to 1B/2B pins.
How does propagation delay vary with asymmetric VCC pairings?
Delay is asymmetric and supply-dependent: A→B tpd increases as VCC(B) rises (e.g., 7.7 ns @ 1.8 V/1.8 V → 9.2 ns @ 1.8 V/3.3 V), while B→A tpd decreases (12.2 ns → 11.8 ns). This is due to internal driver strength scaling relative to the destination rail voltage, as confirmed in Table 9.
