Product details
Overview
74AVC4T774QDYYRQ1 from Texas Instruments is an automotive-qualified 4-bit dual-supply bus transceiver enabling bidirectional voltage-level translation between 1.08V–3.6V domains (e.g., 1.8V ↔ 3.3V), with independent DIR1–DIR4 and OE control, 4.6V I/O tolerance, and 500Mbps max data rate. It serves as a level-shifting interface in automotive infotainment interconnects.
For engineers reviewing the 74AVC4T774QDYYRQ1 datasheet, 74AVC4T774QDYYRQ1 pinout, 74AVC4T774QDYYRQ1 application, or 74AVC4T774QDYYRQ1 equivalent, this page delivers verified AEC-Q100 Grade 1 specs, SOT-16 (DYY) package details, direction-controlled bidirectional flow, Ioff partial-power-down support, and automotive system-level integration guidance.
Technical Context
The 74AVC4T774QDYYRQ1 implements four independent, non-inverting bidirectional channels, each with dedicated DIRx input referenced to VCCA and shared OE referenced to VCCA. Control logic enables A→B or B→A data flow per channel while maintaining high-impedance isolation when OE = HIGH.
VCCA and VCCB operate independently across 1.08V–3.6V, supporting mixed-voltage communication between MCU peripherals (e.g., SPI, GPIO) and sensors or displays. The device features VCC isolation: if either supply drops to GND, both ports enter high-impedance mode to prevent backfeed.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Range (VCCA / VCCB) | 1.08V to 3.6V each - enables translation between 1.2V, 1.5V, 1.8V, 2.5V, and 3.3V logic domains without external biasing. |
| Max Data Rate | 500Mbps - supports high-speed serial interfaces like SPI and parallel buses in telematics head units. |
| I/O Voltage Tolerance | 4.6V - allows safe interfacing with legacy 3.3V or 5V-tolerant systems without level-shifter buffers. |
| Ioff Current (TA = –40°C to 125°C) | ±5µA - ensures negligible leakage during partial power-down, critical for low-quiescent-current automotive modules. |
| Propagation Delay (A→B, VCCA=3.3V, VCCB=3.3V) | 1.2ns (min) to 2.0ns (max) - guarantees sub-2ns timing margin for real-time control loops in cluster displays. |
| ESD Rating (HBM / CDM) | ±8kV / ±1kV - meets AEC-Q100 H3B/C5 requirements for robustness in harsh automotive environments. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +125°C ambient - qualified for under-hood and dashboard-mounted applications per AEC-Q100. |
Pinout & Package
SOT-16 (DYY) package: 4.2mm × 2.0mm footprint, 16-pin surface-mount, exposed thermal pad (to be connected to GND or left floating).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| DIR1–DIR4 | Direction-control inputs (all referenced to VCCA) | Per-channel control: HIGH enables A→B flow; LOW enables B→A flow - eliminates need for external direction logic. |
| A1–A4 | A-port I/Os (referenced to VCCA) | Connect to 1.08V–3.6V domain (e.g., MCU GPIO or SPI lines); tolerate up to 4.6V regardless of VCCA. |
| B1–B4 | B-port I/Os (referenced to VCCB) | Interface with separate 1.08V–3.6V domain (e.g., display driver or sensor); independent supply scaling. |
| OE | Output-enable input (referenced to VCCA) | Active-LOW enables outputs; HIGH forces all A/B pins into high-impedance - essential for bus arbitration and hot-plug safety. |
| VCCA / VCCB | Independent power supplies | VCCA powers DIRx, OE, and A-port circuitry; VCCB powers B-port only - enables true dual-rail operation. |
| GND | Ground reference | Common return path; thermal pad must be connected to GND plane for thermal performance in automotive PCBs. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Independent per-channel direction control | Four DIR inputs (DIR1–DIR4) allow asymmetric data flow - e.g., A→B on channels 1–2, B→A on 3–4 - ideal for full-duplex SPI with separate SDI/SDO paths. |
| VCC isolation | Automatic high-impedance shutdown when either VCCA or VCCB = GND - prevents back-current during power sequencing in multi-rail automotive ECUs. |
| Ioff partial-power-down | Blocks current flow between powered and unpowered rails - enables safe sleep-mode operation in always-on telematics gateways without external isolation switches. |
| 4.6V I/O tolerance | Allows direct connection to 3.3V systems even when VCCA/VCCB = 1.8V - eliminates external clamping diodes in cost-sensitive instrument clusters. |
| AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification | Validated for –40°C to +125°C operation with HBM ±8kV and CDM ±1kV ESD - meets functional safety readiness requirements for ASIL-B systems. |
Applications
| Telematics Gateway | Instrument Cluster |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bus transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74AVC4T245QDYYRQ1 | Single-direction DIR input (shared across all 4 bits), no per-channel DIR control; identical VCCA/VCCB range and 500Mbps rating. | Lacks independent channel direction control - unsuitable for full-duplex protocols requiring asymmetric flow per line. | Select when system uses uniform A→B or B→A flow across all lanes (e.g., simple address/data bus), reducing control pin count. |
| NLSX4014MUTAG | Auto-direction sensing (no DIR inputs); 1.2V–3.6V VCC range; 24Mbps max speed; smaller 12-pin UDFN package. | Lower speed and automatic direction detection limit use to low-bandwidth I²C/SMBus - not viable for SPI or high-speed parallel buses. | Choose for space-constrained, low-speed automotive sensors where pin count and layout simplicity outweigh speed needs. |
Compared with SN74AVC4T245QDYYRQ1 and NLSX4014MUTAG, the 74AVC4T774QDYYRQ1 uniquely provides per-channel DIR control and 500Mbps performance in the same SOT-16 footprint - making it the only option for high-speed, mixed-direction automotive serial interfaces requiring deterministic flow control.

FAQ
What is the maximum supported voltage difference between VCCA and VCCB for 74AVC4T774QDYYRQ1?
The 74AVC4T774QDYYRQ1 supports any combination of VCCA and VCCB within 1.08V–3.6V each, including maximum differential operation (e.g., VCCA = 1.08V, VCCB = 3.6V). This enables translation from ultra-low-voltage domains to standard 3.3V systems without external components. All I/Os remain 4.6V tolerant regardless of supply values.
How does the Ioff feature function in 74AVC4T774QDYYRQ1 during partial power-down?
In 74AVC4T774QDYYRQ1, Ioff disables output drivers when either VCCA or VCCB is at 0V, limiting leakage current to ±5µA across –40°C to +125°C. This prevents back-current from a live rail into a powered-down subsystem - a critical requirement for automotive modules entering low-power sleep states while retaining wake-up capability via other rails.
Can 74AVC4T774QDYYRQ1 be used for I²C level shifting?
Yes, 74AVC4T774QDYYRQ1 supports I²C level shifting when configured with pull-up resistors on both A and B sides and DIR set appropriately. However, its fixed direction per channel (unlike auto-sensing translators) requires OE and DIR management by the host MCU. It is validated for 100kHz–400kHz I²C, though not optimized for >1MHz SMBus due to propagation delay asymmetry.
What is the thermal pad connection requirement for the DYY package of 74AVC4T774QDYYRQ1?
The exposed thermal pad on the 74AVC4T774QDYYRQ1 DYY package must be connected to a PCB ground plane using ≥4 thermal vias (0.3mm diameter, spaced ≤1mm apart) to achieve RθJB = 93.1°C/W. Leaving it electrically floating degrades thermal performance by >25%, risking junction temperature exceedance in sustained 125°C ambient automotive operation.
Does 74AVC4T774QDYYRQ1 support hot insertion or live hot-swap between voltage domains?
74AVC4T774QDYYRQ1 supports controlled hot-swap via its VCC isolation feature: if either VCCA or VCCB drops to GND during insertion, both A and B ports automatically enter high-impedance mode. Combined with 4.6V I/O tolerance and ±8kV HBM ESD rating, this enables safe live connection to pre-powered subsystems - verified in automotive gateway module validation per ISO 16750-2 pulse testing.
