Product details
Overview
CD40109BPWRG4 from Texas Instruments is a quad low-to-high (and high-to-low) CMOS level shifter IC with independent dual-supply operation, 3–15 V VDD range, 3–15 V VCC range, and ±0.5 V output swing beyond supply rails. It enables bidirectional voltage translation in mixed-voltage digital systems such as legacy 5 V logic interfacing with modern 3.3 V or 12 V subsystems.
For engineers reviewing the CD40109BPWRG4 datasheet, CD40109BPWRG4 pinout, CD40109BPWRG4 application, or CD40109BPWRG4 equivalent, key selection criteria include unrestricted power-up sequencing, input signal swing down to 0.7×VCC, operation with VCC > VDD for high-to-low shifting, and TSSOP-16 packaging compatible with automated SMT assembly.
Technical Context
The CD40109BPWRG4 implements four independent, non-inverting level-shifting channels using buffered CMOS gate structures with separate VDD (high-side) and VCC (low-side) supplies. Each channel accepts inputs referenced to VSS and delivers outputs referenced to VDD, supporting rail-to-rail input swing relative to VCC and output swing from –0.5 V to VDD + 0.5 V.
No external biasing or pull-up resistors are required. The device operates without sequence restrictions on VDD, VCC, or input signal application, and supports input signals exceeding both VCC and VDD-provided minimum input high threshold remains ≥0.7×VCC and all voltages stay within absolute maximum ratings.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDD Supply Range | 3 V to 15 V - sets high-side output rail; defines maximum output voltage and noise margin for downstream 5 V/12 V logic. |
| VCC Supply Range | 3 V to 15 V - powers low-side input stage; determines minimum valid input high level (≥0.7×VCC). |
| Output Voltage Range | –0.5 V to VDD + 0.5 V - enables robust interfacing with overvoltage-tolerant receivers and supports negative transient margin. |
| Input Signal Swing | VSS to ≥0.7×VCC - ensures reliable logic recognition even with degraded low-voltage drive or series resistance. |
| Operating Temperature | –55 °C to +125 °C - qualified for extended industrial and automotive under-hood environments. |
| Package Type | TSSOP-16 (PW) - 4.4 mm × 5.0 mm footprint with 0.65 mm pitch; optimized for high-density PCB layouts and reflow compatibility. |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP-16 package (PW), 4.4 mm × 5.0 mm body, 0.65 mm lead pitch, 1.2 mm max height, exposed pad not present, moisture sensitivity level 1 (260 °C peak reflow).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 4, 5, 12, 13, 15, 16 | Input/Output Channel Terminals (A1–B1, A2–B2, A3–B3, A4–B4) | Paired I/O pins per channel; A-side referenced to VCC/VSS, B-side referenced to VDD/VSS; non-inverting translation path. |
| 3, 6, 10, 14 | Channel Enable / Input Ground Reference | Direct connection to VSS (GND); no internal pull-down; must be hard-connected to system ground for proper channel operation. |
| 7 | VSS | Common ground reference for all low-side inputs and internal circuitry; must be tied to lowest system potential. |
| 8 | VDD | High-side supply rail; powers all output drivers; defines upper output voltage limit and noise immunity. |
| 11 | VCC | Low-side supply rail; powers all input buffers; sets input logic thresholds and internal bias points. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Unrestricted Power-Up Sequencing | Enables safe integration into systems where VDD, VCC, and control signals power up asynchronously-no sequencing circuitry or reset delays needed. |
| Bidirectional Level Translation Mode | Supports both low-to-high (e.g., 3.3 V → 5 V) and high-to-low (e.g., 5 V → 3.3 V) translation by operating with VCC > VDD, eliminating need for separate direction-specific parts. |
| Rail-Extended Output Swing | Outputs swing –0.5 V to VDD + 0.5 V, improving noise margin against crosstalk and enabling direct interface with legacy TTL or overvoltage-tolerant receivers. |
| Input Signal Tolerance Beyond Supplies | Accepts input signals exceeding VCC and VDD (within absolute max ratings), simplifying interface with open-drain or floating-source peripherals without clamping diodes. |
| Industrial Temperature Range | Rated from –55 °C to +125 °C, supporting deployment in motor control, power conversion, and outdoor industrial equipment without derating. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar level-shifting applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC4245APWR | Octal bus transceiver with direction control; requires explicit DIR pin and single-supply operation (VCCA/VCCB only); no VSS-referenced input tolerance. | Best suited for bidirectional data buses with centralized direction management; less flexible for asynchronous mixed-rail point-to-point links. | Select when translating multi-bit parallel buses with shared direction control and tighter timing budgets than CD40109BPWRG4's 100 ns typical propagation delay. |
| TXS0104EPWR | Auto-direction-sensing 4-bit translator; open-drain I/O with internal pull-ups; supports 1.2 V to 3.3 V translation only; no support for VCC > VDD mode. | Ideal for I²C/SMBus and low-voltage UART interfaces; unsuitable for driving 5 V/12 V loads or high-current digital signals. | Choose for ultra-low-voltage I²C expansion where automatic direction detection eliminates control logic, but avoid when interfacing with higher-voltage logic or driving capacitive loads >20 pF. |
Compared with SN74LVC4245APWR and TXS0104EPWR, the CD40109BPWRG4 uniquely supports unrestricted supply sequencing, rail-extended output swing, and true bidirectional translation without direction control or auto-sensing-making it optimal for robust, low-complexity mixed-voltage interconnects in harsh environments.

FAQ
What is the absolute maximum rating for input voltage on CD40109BPWRG4?
The CD40109BPWRG4 allows input signals to exceed both VCC and VDD, provided they remain within the device's absolute maximum ratings: –0.5 V to VDD + 0.5 V. This tolerance eliminates the need for external clamping diodes when interfacing with open-drain or floating sources, and is explicitly confirmed in the Harris Semiconductor datasheet SCHS099B.
Can CD40109BPWRG4 operate with VCC greater than VDD?
Yes, the CD40109BPWRG4 supports high-to-low level shifting when VCC > VDD. In this configuration, the low-side supply powers the input stage and the high-side supply is reduced, enabling translation from higher-voltage logic (e.g., 5 V) to lower-voltage logic (e.g., 3.3 V). This dual-mode capability is a defining feature of the CD40109BPWRG4 and is documented in the January 2003 revision of its datasheet.
What is the recommended minimum input high voltage for CD40109BPWRG4?
The CD40109BPWRG4 requires input signals to swing to at least 0.7 × VCC to guarantee reliable logic-high recognition. For example, with VCC = 3.3 V, the minimum valid input high is 2.31 V. This threshold is process-stable and independent of VDD, making the CD40109BPWRG4 tolerant of marginal drive strength or series impedance in source circuits.
Does CD40109BPWRG4 require external pull-up or pull-down resistors?
No, the CD40109BPWRG4 does not require external pull-up or pull-down resistors. Its CMOS input structure is fully buffered and internally biased; all inputs are actively driven, and outputs are push-pull. External resistors are unnecessary for basic level translation, though system-level pull-ups may still be used for bus contention management outside the CD40109BPWRG4's scope.
Is CD40109BPWRG4 RoHS compliant and what is its MSL rating?
Yes, CD40109BPWRG4 is RoHS compliant (lead finish: NIPDAU) and has a moisture sensitivity level (MSL) rating of Level-1 at 260 °C peak reflow. This means it can be stored indefinitely at ambient conditions without baking prior to assembly, simplifying manufacturing logistics for high-volume SMT lines handling TSSOP-16 packages.
