Product details
Overview
GTL2000DGG,112 from NXP Semiconductors (formerly Philips Semiconductors) is a 22-bit bi-directional low-voltage translator IC enabling seamless voltage level translation between 1.0 V and 5.0 V busses without direction control. It features 6.5 Ω typical RON, 1.5 ns typical propagation delay (Sn↔Dn), 5 V-tolerant inputs, and operates across –40 °C to +85 °C. It is used in I²C bus interfacing between low-voltage processors (e.g., 1.2 V/1.5 V core) and 3.3 V/5 V peripherals.
For engineers reviewing the GTL2000DGG,112 datasheet, GTL2000DGG,112 pinout, GTL2000DGG,112 application, or GTL2000DGG,112 equivalent, key selection criteria include bidirectional clamp architecture, absence of direction pin, reference transistor configuration (SREF/DREF/GREF), flow-through SSOP/TSSOP48 layout, and compatibility with GTL, GTL+, LVTTL, TTL, and CMOS logic families.
Technical Context
The GTL2000DGG,112 implements Gunning Transceiver Logic – Transceiver Voltage Clamp (GTL-TVC) architecture using 22 matched NMOS pass transistors plus one reference pair (SREF/DREF/GREF). Translation direction is determined dynamically by relative voltage levels on Sn and Dn ports-no external direction signal required.
It operates in three modes: bi-directional (GREF tied to DREF, SREF set to low-side VCORE), unidirectional high-to-low (same biasing, no pull-up on Sn side), and unidirectional low-to-high (requires external pull-up on Dn side). Gate threshold control via GREF–SREF voltage differential (≥1.5 V recommended) sets clamping voltage and ensures reliable ON/OFF switching.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bi-directional voltage translation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| NXP NTB0102DP | 2-bit translator; lower channel count; integrated auto-direction sensing; requires VCCA/VCCB supplies | Better suited for point-to-point, low-pin-count interfaces (e.g., UART, GPIO); not scalable to 22-bit buses | Select when compact size and automatic direction detection outweigh channel density and supply-free operation. |
| Texas Instruments TXS0108E | 8-bit translator; active push-pull outputs; requires dual supplies; higher standby current (10 µA vs. <1 µA) | Optimized for wide-bus, high-drive applications (e.g., SDIO, eMMC); lacks true clamp-based bidirectionality | Select when driving heavy capacitive loads (>30 pF) or requiring guaranteed high-level drive strength on both sides. |
Compared with NTB0102DP and TXS0108E, the GTL2000DGG,112 uniquely delivers 22-channel translation without direction control or external power, making it irreplaceable for high-density, supply-constrained GTL/GTL+/I²C backplane interfaces where pin efficiency and latch-up immunity are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the function of the GREF pin on the GTL2000DGG,112?
The GREF pin is the gate terminal of the reference transistor that controls the ON/OFF state of all 22 pass transistors. It must be biased at least 1.5 V above SREF to ensure proper clamping behavior. In bi-directional mode, GREF is tied directly to DREF and pulled up to the high-side VCC (e.g., 3.3 V) via a 200 kΩ resistor. Incorrect GREF voltage causes incomplete turn-on or excessive VOL, compromising GTL2000DGG,112 translation accuracy.
Can the GTL2000DGG,112 translate between 1.0 V and 5.0 V in both directions simultaneously?
Yes - the GTL2000DGG,112 supports true simultaneous bi-directional translation between 1.0 V and 5.0 V, provided GREF and DREF are tied and pulled to 5.0 V, and SREF is set to 1.0 V. The device uses passive NMOS clamping: when a Sn pin is driven low, the corresponding Dn pin is pulled low; when a Dn pin is high, the Sn pin is clamped to SREF (1.0 V). This architecture enables real-time, contention-free bidirectional signaling without arbitration logic - a core capability of the GTL2000DGG,112.
Does the GTL2000DGG,112 require external pull-up resistors, and if so, where?
Yes - external pull-up resistors are required on the Dn side (high-voltage side) for uni-directional low-to-high translation and for bi-directional operation when Dn drives high. A 200 kΩ resistor from DREF to high-side VCC is mandatory to bias the reference transistor. Additional pull-ups (value depends on VCC and load capacitance) are needed on each Dn line to achieve full logic HIGH. Sn-side pull-ups are only required if the low-voltage driver is open-drain - the GTL2000DGG,112 itself provides no active drive.
What is the maximum current per channel the GTL2000DGG,112 can handle reliably?
The GTL2000DGG,112 supports up to ±128 mA per channel under absolute maximum conditions, but the recommended operating limit is 64 mA per channel to maintain VOL ≤ 350 mV and prevent thermal stress. At 15 mA (typical I²C bus current), RON yields ~260 mV drop - well within GTL/GTL+ specifications. Exceeding 64 mA risks exceeding junction temperature limits and degrading long-term reliability of the GTL2000DGG,112.
Is the GTL2000DGG,112 pin-compatible with other devices in the GTL2000 family?
Yes - the GTL2000DGG,112 (TSSOP48) shares identical pinout and electrical behavior with GTL2000DL (SSOP48), differing only in package dimensions and thermal characteristics. Both use SOT362-1 and SOT370-1 footprints respectively, with identical pin numbering, function mapping, and biasing requirements. This allows direct PCB substitution between packages without layout changes - a verified mechanical and functional equivalence for the GTL2000DGG,112 and GTL2000DL.
