Product details
Overview
GTL2002D/DG,118 from NXP Semiconductors is a 2-bit bidirectional low-voltage translator IC enabling seamless voltage level translation between 1.0 V and 5.0 V buses without direction control. It uses matched NMOS pass transistors with a reference transistor (SREF/DREF/GREF) to clamp output voltages, supports hot insertion, requires no power supply, and delivers 6.5 Ω typical ON-state resistance at 4.5 V gate drive for I²C-bus and GTL/GTL+ interface applications.
For engineers reviewing the GTL2002D/DG,118 datasheet, GTL2002D/DG,118 pinout, GTL2002D/DG,118 application, or GTL2002D/DG,118 equivalent, this device offers verified bidirectional translation across 1.0–5.0 V domains, flow-through SO8 pinout, ESD robustness (>2000 V HBM), and compatibility with LVTTL/TTL, GTL+, and open-drain processor I/O interfaces.
Technical Context
The GTL2002D/DG,118 implements Gunning Transceiver Logic – Transceiver Voltage Clamp (GTL-TVC) architecture using two identical NMOS pass transistors (S1/D1 and S2/D2) plus a reference transistor (SREF/DREF/GREF). Translation direction is determined dynamically by relative voltage levels on Sn and Dn ports, eliminating need for external direction signals.
Its operation relies on gate biasing: GREF must be ≥1.5 V above SREF for optimal clamping; SREF connects to low-voltage core supply (e.g., 1.2 V or 1.8 V CPU I/O), while DREF ties to higher-voltage bus (e.g., 3.3 V or 5 V I²C). Propagation delay is ≤5.5 ns (tPLH/tPHL), and ON-resistance varies from 3.5 Ω (VGREF = 4.5 V) to 105 Ω (VGREF = 1.5 V).
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bidirectional voltage translation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TXS0102DCUR | Active push-pull driver architecture; requires VCCA/VCCB supplies; 3.5 ns max tPD; 10 µA ICC | Supports higher drive strength (20 mA) but adds supply dependency and higher static current | Preferred when driving capacitive loads >50 pF or requiring guaranteed 3.3 V logic levels on both sides |
| PCA9306DCUR | Pass-transistor design like GTL2002; dual-channel; requires VREF1/VREF2; 60 ns max tPD; 1.5 µA ICC | Slower propagation delay limits use to ≤400 kHz I²C; optimized for ultra-low-power wearables | Chosen for battery-powered systems where standby current <2 µA outweighs speed requirements |
Compared with TXS0102DCUR and PCA9306DCUR, GTL2002D/DG,118 uniquely combines zero-supply operation, sub-6 ns delay, and 2000 V HBM ESD in SO8 - making it optimal for industrial I²C bridges where reliability and simplicity are prioritized over active drive capability.

FAQ
Does GTL2002D/DG,118 require a power supply to operate?
No, GTL2002D/DG,118 operates without any VCC connection. It functions passively using only external pull-up resistors on the Dn side and a reference voltage applied to SREF. This eliminates power rail dependencies and simplifies system-level power sequencing - a key advantage over active translators like TXS0102.
What is the maximum recommended clamp current per channel for GTL2002D/DG,118?
The absolute maximum clamp current per channel for GTL2002D/DG,118 is ±128 mA, but the recommended operating limit is 64 mA. For reliable 350 mV VOL performance, design for ≤15 mA per channel using pull-up resistors sized per Table 6 in the datasheet - e.g., 310 Ω for 5 V DREF with 15 mA target.
Can GTL2002D/DG,118 translate between 1.0 V and 5.0 V in both directions simultaneously?
Yes, GTL2002D/DG,118 supports true simultaneous bidirectional translation between 1.0 V and 5.0 V domains. When S1 is driven LOW by a 1.0 V processor, D1 is pulled LOW via the ON-state transistor; when D1 is driven HIGH by a 5 V peripheral, S1 is clamped to the SREF voltage (e.g., 1.2 V), enabling full protocol compliance for open-drain buses like I²C.
Is GTL2002D/DG,118 pin-compatible with other packages in the GTL2002 family?
No - GTL2002D/DG,118 uses the SO8 (SOT96-1) package with fixed pin 1=GND, pin 2=SREF, pin 3=S1, etc. The VSSOP8 variant (GTL2002DC) has different pin mapping (e.g., pin 1=SREF, pin 4=GND), and XQFN8 uses a completely distinct terminal layout. Board designs must match the exact package variant ordered.
What ESD protection level does GTL2002D/DG,118 provide, and is it sufficient for industrial handling?
GTL2002D/DG,118 exceeds 2000 V HBM (JESD22-A114) and 1000 V CDM (JESD22-C101), meeting IEC 61000-4-2 Level 2 for system-level ESD immunity. This qualifies it for industrial assembly lines and field-replaceable module handling without additional transient suppression - confirmed by NXP's qualification testing across −40 °C to +85 °C.
