Product details
Overview
GTL2000DGG,118 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 on-resistance, 0.5–5.5 ns propagation delay, 5 V-tolerant inputs, and operates across –40 °C to +85 °C for I²C, GTL/GTL+, and LVTTL/TTL interface bridging in mixed-voltage processor systems.
For engineers reviewing the GTL2000DGG,118 datasheet, GTL2000DGG,118 pinout, GTL2000DGG,118 application, or GTL2000DGG,118 equivalent, key selection criteria include its directionless operation, reference-voltage–controlled clamping architecture, flow-through SSOP/TSSOP48 layout, and compatibility with hot-insertion and latch-up–free operation in low-power embedded interfaces.
Technical Context
The GTL2000DGG,118 implements Gunning Transceiver Logic – Transceiver Voltage Clamp (GTL-TVC) architecture using 22 matched NMOS pass transistors plus one reference transistor pair (SREF/DREF/GREF). Translation direction is determined dynamically by relative voltage levels at Sn and Dn ports - no external direction signal required.
Clamping behavior is governed by GREF biasing ≥1.5 V above SREF, enabling precise high-to-low and low-to-high translation modes. All 22 channels share identical electrical characteristics, ensuring <±50 mV inter-channel output voltage deviation and minimal skew, critical for parallel bus integrity in multi-bit applications like chipset-to-processor I/O bridging.
Key Specifications

| Operating temperature | –40 °C to +85 °C - qualified for industrial and automotive under-hood control module environments |
| Supply requirement | No VCC pin - powered solely by I/O rail voltages; eliminates need for auxiliary supply routing |
Pinout & Package
Package: TSSOP48 (plastic thin shrink small outline package; 48 leads; body width 6.1 mm; SOT362-1).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | GND | Ground reference for all internal circuitry; must be connected to system 0 V plane |
| 2 | SREF | Source terminal of reference transistor; sets maximum output voltage on Sn side (e.g., 1.2 V core voltage) |
| 3–24 | Sn (S1–S22) | Low-voltage side I/O ports; bidirectionally translate with corresponding Dn pins |
| 25–46 | Dn (D1–D22) | High-voltage side I/O ports; pulled up externally to VCC (3.3 V/5.0 V) for up-translation |
| 47 | DREF | Drain terminal of reference transistor; tied to GREF and pulled to high-side VCC via 200 kΩ resistor |
| 48 | GREF | Gate terminal of reference transistor; bias controls clamp activation threshold and translation direction |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No direction pin required | Enables true bi-directional translation on shared buses (e.g., I²C SDA/SCL) without timing-critical control signals or added logic |
| Flow-through pinout | Sn pins (3–24) and Dn pins (25–46) arranged linearly - minimizes PCB trace crossovers and simplifies high-density routing |
| Hot-insertion support | Zero power-supply dependency and latch-up immunity allow safe insertion into live backplanes or modular systems |
| Matched transistor array | All 22 Sn/Dn channels fabricated identically - ensures uniform propagation delay (<0.5 ns skew) and voltage translation accuracy across parallel data paths |
| 5 V-tolerant Sn inputs | Accepts 5 V logic inputs while driving sub-1.8 V outputs - eliminates need for upstream level-shifting on legacy peripheral interfaces |
Applications
| I²C Bus Translation | GTL/GTL+ to LVTTL Interface |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74AVC20T245RJRR | Active dual-supply design (VCCA/VCCB); requires direction control pin; 20-bit vs. 22-bit | Needs external direction logic; higher static current (10 µA vs. <1 µA); better for high-speed DDR control busses | Select when deterministic direction control and tighter VOL/VOL specs are required over passive simplicity |
| TXS0108EPRJR | Auto-direction sensing; 8-bit; integrated 10 kΩ pull-ups on A-side; no external RPULLUP needed | Limited to 8 channels; lacks 1.0 V support; optimized for I²C/SPI but not GTL/GTL+ | Prefer for compact 8-bit I²C/SPI bridges where board space is constrained and 1.0 V operation is unnecessary |
Compared with SN74AVC20T245RJRR and TXS0108EPRJR, the GTL2000DGG,118 uniquely delivers 22-channel passive translation without direction pins or supply rails - making it optimal for high-pin-count, ultra-low-power, mixed-voltage processor interconnects where layout simplicity and latch-up immunity are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the function of the GREF pin on the GTL2000DGG,118?
The GREF pin on the GTL2000DGG,118 serves as the gate terminal of the reference transistor that controls the clamping threshold for bi-directional translation. It must be biased at least 1.5 V above SREF (e.g., tie GREF and DREF together and pull up to 3.3 V via 200 kΩ) to ensure reliable ON/OFF switching of all 22 Sn/Dn channels. Incorrect GREF biasing causes incomplete translation or excessive VOL.
Does the GTL2000DGG,118 require an external power supply?
No, the GTL2000DGG,118 requires no external VCC supply - it derives operating power entirely from the voltage applied to its I/O pins (Sn and Dn) and reference terminals (SREF/DREF/GREF). This eliminates supply rail routing, reduces system power complexity, and enables true "zero-power" translation when all ports are idle, with standby current <1 µA.
Can the GTL2000DGG,118 translate between 1.0 V and 5.0 V in both directions simultaneously?
Yes, the GTL2000DGG,118 supports simultaneous high-to-low and low-to-high translation across its 22 channels, provided GREF is correctly biased ≥1.5 V above SREF and external pull-up resistors are placed on the higher-voltage side (e.g., 5.0 V on Dn). Each channel independently senses voltage differentials, enabling real-time bidirectional data flow - essential for I²C and similar open-drain protocols.
What is the maximum recommended pull-up resistor value for the Dn side when using GTL2000DGG,118 with 3.3 V VCC and 1.5 V SREF?
For 3.3 V VCC and 1.5 V SREF, the maximum recommended pull-up resistor on the Dn side is 325 Ω at 10 mA (per the +10% column in the datasheet's pull-up table), ensuring VOL ≤ 350 mV. Using >325 Ω risks exceeding VOL spec under load, potentially causing logic errors; values below 295 Ω increase power dissipation unnecessarily. Always verify with actual trace capacitance and signal rise-time targets.
Is the GTL2000DGG,118 pin-compatible with other GTL translator variants like GTL2002 or GTL2010?
No, the GTL2000DGG,118 is not pin-compatible with GTL2002 (10-bit, SSOP24) or GTL2010 (10-bit, TSSOP24). Its 48-pin TSSOP layout, 22-channel count, and specific pin mapping (e.g., SREF at pin 2, GREF at pin 48) are unique to the GTL2000 family. Migration requires PCB redesign; however, functional behavior and reference circuit design principles are consistent across the GTL-TVC series.
