Product details
Overview
GTL2002DP,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 common reference gate (GREF) and reference transistor (SREF/DREF), delivering 6.5 Ω typical ON-state resistance, sub-5.5 ns propagation delay, and ESD protection exceeding 2000 V HBM. It is deployed in I²C-bus interface translation between 1.8 V processors and 3.3 V/5 V peripherals.
For engineers reviewing the GTL2002DP,118 datasheet, GTL2002DP,118 pinout, GTL2002DP,118 application, or GTL2002DP,118 equivalent, this page provides verified electrical parameters, TSSOP8 package layout guidance, bidirectional clamping behavior, hot-insertion support, and real-world I²C and GTL/GTL+ translation use cases - all confirmed from NXP's Rev. 8 product data sheet.
Technical Context
The GTL2002DP,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). Its operation relies on biasing GREF ≥1.5 V above SREF to enable precise voltage clamping at the S-side output while allowing D-side pull-up to VCC.
Unlike directional translators, it requires no control signal: when either port is LOW, the channel conducts; when Dn is HIGH, Sn is clamped to SREF voltage; when Sn is HIGH, Dn is pulled to VCC via external resistors. All transistors are fabricated identically, ensuring ≤1% mismatch in Ron and propagation delay across channels.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bidirectional voltage translation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TXB0102RUGR | Active translation with integrated charge pump; requires 1.2–3.6 V supply; 3.5 Ω Ron; 15 ns max delay | Supports lower minimum voltage (1.2 V) but adds supply dependency and higher propagation latency | Preferred when ultra-low-voltage operation (<1.2 V) or tighter supply regulation is required |
| SN74AVC2T244RSWR | Direction-controlled dual-bit translator; 3.3 V supply only; 4.5 Ω Ron; 3.2 ns max delay; push-pull outputs | Requires explicit DIR signal; not suitable for open-drain buses like I²C without external pull-ups | Chosen when deterministic unidirectional flow and higher drive strength (>24 mA) are prioritized |
Compared with TXB0102RUGR and SN74AVC2T244RSWR, GTL2002DP,118 offers zero-power passive operation and true bidirectional capability without control logic - making it optimal for I²C, SMBus, and other open-drain protocols where supply simplicity and signal transparency are critical.

FAQ
What is the operating voltage range supported by the GTL2002DP,118?
The GTL2002DP,118 supports bidirectional voltage translation between any pair of voltages from 1.0 V to 5.0 V - including 1.2 V, 1.5 V, 1.8 V, 2.5 V, 3.3 V, and 5 V buses. It does not require an internal power supply; operation depends solely on external pull-up resistors and proper biasing of GREF relative to SREF.
Does the GTL2002DP,118 require a direction control signal?
No, the GTL2002DP,118 operates without any direction pin or control signal. Its NMOS pass-gate architecture enables automatic bidirectional conduction: when either S1 or D1 is LOW, the channel turns ON; when D1 is HIGH, S1 is clamped to the SREF voltage; when S1 is HIGH, D1 is pulled to VCC via external resistor. This eliminates timing-critical direction management.
How is the reference voltage (SREF) configured for the GTL2002DP,118?
SREF must be connected directly to the low-voltage domain's supply rail (e.g., 1.2 V, 1.5 V, or 1.8 V processor core voltage). For reliable operation, GREF must be biased at least 1.5 V above SREF - typically achieved by tying GREF and DREF together and pulling them to the high-voltage side (e.g., 3.3 V) via a 200 kΩ resistor.
Can the GTL2002DP,118 be used in I²C-bus applications?
Yes, the GTL2002DP,118 is explicitly designed for I²C-bus translation. Its open-drain compatible operation, sub-5.5 ns propagation delay, and 2000 V HBM ESD rating make it ideal for bridging 1.0–1.8 V microcontroller I²C ports to 3.3 V or 5 V peripherals while preserving bus timing and noise immunity - as confirmed in NXP's application diagrams and test conditions.
What package type is used for the GTL2002DP,118?
The GTL2002DP,118 uses the TSSOP8 package (SOT505-1): plastic thin shrink small outline with 8 leads, 3.0 mm body width, and 0.65 mm lead pitch. It features a flow-through pinout (GND–SREF–S1–S2–D2–D1–DREF–GREF), optimized for minimal PCB trace length and reduced crosstalk in high-density layouts.
