Product details
Overview
ADG3233BRJ-REEL from Analog Devices is a bidirectional logic level translation bypass switch operating from dual supplies (1.65 V to 3.6 V each), enabling voltage translation between mismatched I/O domains in JTAG/daisy-chain systems. It supports unidirectional signal flow (A → Y), offers short-circuit protection, and delivers propagation delays as low as 3.5 ns at 3.3 V in normal mode - used for dynamic device isolation during boundary-scan testing.
For engineers reviewing the ADG3233BRJ-REEL datasheet, ADG3233BRJ-REEL pinout, ADG3233BRJ-REEL application, or ADG3233BRJ-REEL equivalent, key selection criteria include dual-supply level translation capability, EN-controlled bypass/normal mode switching, SOT-23-8 package compatibility, guaranteed operation across −40°C to +85°C, and leakage current ≤±1 µA at full supply range.
Technical Context
The ADG3233BRJ-REEL implements a submicron CMOS bypass switch architecture with two independent supply domains (VCC1 and VCC2), allowing bidirectional voltage translation while enforcing unidirectional data flow (A1→Y1/Y2). Its enable input (EN) is active-low and accepts logic levels beyond VCC1, supporting interfacing with higher-voltage controllers without level-shifting circuitry.
In normal mode (EN = high), it routes A1→Y1 and A2→Y2 with level translation; in bypass mode (EN = low), it connects A1→Y2 directly while pulling Y1 to VCC1. Both modes maintain VOL ≤0.45 V and VOH ≥VCC−0.45 V under 4 mA load, with input leakage ≤±1 µA and quiescent ICC ≤2 µA per supply.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Range | VCC1 and VCC2 independently support 1.65 V to 3.6 V - enables interoperability between 1.8 V, 2.5 V, and 3.3 V logic domains without external translators. |
| Propagation Delay | 3.5 ns (min) / 5.4 ns (typ) at 3.3 V - ensures timing compliance in high-speed JTAG chains up to 100+ MHz test clocks. |
| Enable/Disable Time | tEN = 4–7.2 ns, tDIS = 2.8–4.7 ns at 2.5–3.3 V - guarantees fast, deterministic mode switching during scan chain reconfiguration. |
| IO Leakage Current | ±1 µA max over full temperature and voltage range - minimizes standby power impact in battery-sensitive or always-on test interfaces. |
| Output Drive Strength | 8 mA sink/source capability at 3.3 V - drives standard CMOS loads (CL ≤30 pF) without external buffering in daisy-chain nodes. |
| Operating Temperature | −40°C to +85°C industrial grade - validated for use in automated test equipment (ATE), embedded debug ports, and industrial PLC programming interfaces. |
| Short-Circuit Protection | Integrated fault protection - prevents latch-up or damage during hot-plug events or miswired JTAG connections. |
Pinout & Package
ADG3233BRJ-REEL is packaged in an 8-lead SOT-23 (RJ-8) footprint measuring 2.9 mm × 2.8 mm, optimized for space-constrained board layouts in test-access and debug subsystems.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VCC1 (Pin 1) | Primary supply rail | Reference for A1, A2, Y1 inputs/outputs; sets VIH/VIL thresholds and VOH/VOL levels for Y1 path. |
| A1 (Pin 2) | Input referenced to VCC1 | Main signal input; routed to Y1 (normal) or Y2 (bypass); accepts logic levels up to 4.6 V regardless of VCC1. |
| A2 (Pin 3) | Input referenced to VCC1 | Feedback input from downstream device in normal mode; not used in bypass mode. |
| EN (Pin 4) | Active-low enable control | Low = bypass mode (A1→Y2); high = normal mode (A1→Y1, A2→Y2); immune to VCC1 overvoltage. |
| GND (Pin 5) | Digital ground reference | Common return for all digital signals; must be low-impedance and separated from analog/power grounds. |
| Y2 (Pin 6) | Output referenced to VCC2 | Level-translated output in both modes; carries VCC1-referred signal translated to VCC2 logic levels. |
| Y1 (Pin 7) | Output referenced to VCC1 | Active only in normal mode; provides VCC1-level output of A1; pulled to VCC1 in bypass mode. |
| VCC2 (Pin 8) | Secondary supply rail | Reference for Y2 output levels and internal translation circuitry; independent of VCC1 voltage. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Bidirectional level translation | Supports any VCC1/VCC2 combination from 1.65 V to 3.6 V - eliminates need for discrete translator ICs in mixed-voltage JTAG chains. |
| EN-controlled bypass function | Single-pin activation isolates intermediate devices in scan chains - reduces test time by skipping non-target ICs without firmware changes. |
| Overvoltage-tolerant inputs | A1 and EN accept inputs up to 4.6 V irrespective of VCC1 - enables direct connection to 3.3 V or 5 V controllers driving 1.8 V systems. |
| Ultra-low quiescent current | ICC1/ICC2 ≤2 µA per supply - critical for portable ATE, low-power debug probes, and energy-harvesting test interfaces. |
| Short-circuit protected outputs | Withstands momentary shorts to GND or VCC without latch-up or parametric shift - improves reliability in field-serviceable test fixtures. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar logic level translation and bypass switching applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74AVC4T245RTER | Quad-channel, direction-controlled (DIR pin), no built-in bypass logic; requires external control sequencing for chain skipping. | Used for general-purpose bidirectional level shifting, not optimized for JTAG-specific bypass functionality. | Select when needing four independent channels or DIR-based synchronous translation, not single-pin bypass activation. |
| MAX3001EASA+ | Single-channel, fixed-direction (A→B), no EN-controlled bypass mode; lacks A2 feedback path and Y1 pull-up behavior. | Suitable for point-to-point voltage translation only; cannot emulate daisy-chain skip behavior or JTAG TDO/TDI rerouting. | Choose for simple unidirectional translation where bypass capability is unnecessary and board space allows SO-8 package. |
Compared with SN74AVC4T245RTER and MAX3001EASA+, the ADG3233BRJ-REEL uniquely integrates EN-triggered bypass mode with dual-supply translation and feedback input (A2), making it the only solution that natively replicates JTAG chain skipping without external logic or firmware overhead.

FAQ
What is the primary function of the ADG3233BRJ-REEL in a JTAG chain?
The ADG3233BRJ-REEL acts as a controllable bypass node in JTAG chains, allowing test equipment to skip over non-responsive or defective devices by routing TDO directly to TDI via its EN-activated bypass mode. This avoids halting the entire scan chain and reduces diagnostic time. The ADG3233BRJ-REEL achieves this using dual-supply level translation and a dedicated A2 feedback path in normal mode, ensuring signal integrity across mixed-voltage boundaries without external components.
Does the ADG3233BRJ-REEL support true bidirectional data flow?
No - the ADG3233BRJ-REEL supports bidirectional *voltage translation* but enforces strictly unidirectional *signal flow*: data travels only from A inputs to Y outputs (A1→Y1/Y2). In normal mode, A1→Y1 and A2→Y2 operate simultaneously; in bypass mode, only A1→Y2 is active. This architecture is intentional for JTAG/daisy-chain topologies where directionality is fixed by protocol definition, and the ADG3233BRJ-REEL does not implement reverse-path translation.
Can the ADG3233BRJ-REEL operate with VCC1 = 1.8 V and VCC2 = 3.3 V?
Yes - the ADG3233BRJ-REEL is fully specified for independent VCC1 and VCC2 supplies ranging from 1.65 V to 3.6 V, including asymmetric combinations like VCC1 = 1.8 V / VCC2 = 3.3 V. In this configuration, A1 and A2 inputs are referenced to 1.8 V, while Y2 output swings between 0 V and 3.3 V, enabling seamless interfacing between low-voltage FPGAs and higher-voltage microcontrollers. The ADG3233BRJ-REEL maintains VOL ≤0.45 V and VOH ≥2.85 V under 4 mA load in this condition.
What is the role of the A2 pin on the ADG3233BRJ-REEL?
The A2 pin serves as a feedback input referenced to VCC1, used exclusively in normal mode to receive the return signal from the downstream device in a JTAG or daisy-chain loop. It enables the ADG3233BRJ-REEL to complete the signal path A1→Y1→Device→A2→Y2, preserving chain continuity. A2 is inactive in bypass mode, and leaving it unconnected has no functional impact - the ADG3233BRJ-REEL operates correctly with A2 floating or tied to GND/VCC1 depending on system topology.
Is the ADG3233BRJ-REEL pin-compatible with other packages in the ADG3233 family?
Yes - the ADG3233BRJ-REEL (SOT-23-8, RJ-8) shares identical pinout and electrical specifications with the MSOP-8 variant ADG3233BRMZ (RM-8), differing only in physical package dimensions and thermal characteristics. Both use the same pin numbering and function mapping per Figure 5 and Figure 6 of the datasheet. Thus, the ADG3233BRJ-REEL can be substituted for ADG3233BRMZ in existing layouts if board space and thermal requirements permit, and vice versa - the ADG3233BRJ-REEL remains electrically identical across package variants.
