Product details
Overview
GTL2010PW,112 from NXP Semiconductors is a 10-bit bidirectional NMOS pass-transistor voltage translator IC enabling seamless level shifting between 1.0 V and 5.0 V buses without direction control. It features 6.5 Ω typical ON-state resistance, sub-5.5 ns propagation delay (tPLH/tPHL), and operates across −40 °C to +85 °C. Used in I²C-bus voltage translation between low-voltage processors (e.g., 1.2 V/1.5 V/1.8 V) and 3.3 V/5.0 V peripherals.
For engineers reviewing the GTL2010PW,112 datasheet, GTL2010PW,112 pinout, GTL2010PW,112 application, or GTL2010PW,112 equivalent, key selection criteria include bidirectional operation without direction pin, 1.0–5.0 V translation range, flow-through TSSOP24 pinout, ESD robustness (>2000 V HBM), and compatibility with GTL/GTL+/LVTTL/TTL/CMOS logic families.
Technical Context
The GTL2010PW,112 implements Gunning Transceiver Logic – Transceiver Voltage Clamp (GTL-TVC) architecture using matched NMOS pass transistors. Its reference transistor (SREF/DREF/GREF) sets the clamping voltage for Sn-side outputs, while Dn-side outputs are pulled to external VCC via external resistors - enabling true bidirectional translation without direction control or power supply.
All ten Sn/Dn channels share identical electrical characteristics, minimizing inter-channel deviation in voltage and propagation delay. The device requires no internal power rail: operation relies solely on external pull-up resistors and reference voltage (VSREF ≤ VDREF −1.5 V), eliminating latch-up risk and supporting hot insertion.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Translation Range | 1.0 V ↔ 1.2 V ↔ 1.5 V ↔ 1.8 V ↔ 2.5 V ↔ 3.3 V ↔ 5.0 V; enables direct interface with GTL, GTL+, LVTTL/TTL, and 5 V CMOS buses |
| ON-State Resistance (Ron) | 6.5 Ω typical at VGREF = 3 V, IO = 30 mA; ensures low voltage drop (<350 mV) under 15 mA clamp current |
| Propagation Delay | 0.5–5.5 ns (tPLH/tPHL); guaranteed over full temperature range for translator-type applications with 1.365–1.635 V reference |
| ESD Protection | 2000 V HBM (JESD22-A114), 200 V MM (JESD22-A115), 1000 V CDM (JESD22-C101); protects downstream low-voltage devices |
| Operating Temperature | −40 °C to +85 °C; qualified for industrial ambient conditions without derating |
| Input Voltage Tolerance | 5 V tolerant on all Sn/Dn pins; allows safe interfacing with higher-voltage buses while driving lower-voltage logic |
| Standby Current | Low quiescent current; no internal power rail required - eliminates static power consumption in idle state |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP24 package (SOT355-1): plastic thin shrink small outline, 24-lead, 4.4 mm body width, 0.65 mm pitch. Exposed pad not present - standard thermal dissipation via PCB copper.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | GND | Ground reference for all internal transistors; must be connected to system 0 V plane |
| 2 | SREF | Source of reference transistor; sets maximum output voltage on Sn ports (e.g., 1.2 V core supply) |
| 3–12 | S1–S10 | Source-side I/O ports; bidirectionally translate to corresponding Dn ports based on GREF/SREF biasing |
| 13–22 | D1–D10 | Drain-side I/O ports; pulled to external VCC via resistors; receive translated signals from Sn side |
| 23 | DREF | Drain of reference transistor; tied to higher-voltage VCC (3.3 V/5.0 V) via ~200 kΩ pull-up |
| 24 | GREF | Gate of reference transistor; tied to DREF; controls conduction threshold of all Sn/Dn channels |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Bidirectional translation without direction pin | Eliminates need for control logic, timing synchronization, or additional GPIOs - simplifies I²C and bus arbitration designs |
| Flow-through pinout (TSSOP24) | Enables straight PCB trace routing between S1–S10 and D1–D10 pairs - reduces crosstalk and layout complexity |
| Matched transistor array | All 10 Sn/Dn channels and reference transistor fabricated identically - ensures <1% inter-channel Ron and delay variation |
| Hot-insertion support | No power supply or internal bias rails required - prevents bus contention or damage during live board insertion |
| 5 V-tolerant Sn/Dn inputs | Allows direct connection to legacy 5 V systems while driving sub-1.8 V logic - avoids external clamping diodes |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bidirectional voltage translation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| NLVT1024DT,118 | 12-bit, 1.2–3.6 V translation only; requires VCC supply; 8 Ω Ron typical | Limited to ≤3.6 V domains; unsuitable for 5 V interfaces or 1.0 V cores | Select when only 1.2–3.3 V translation needed and VCC rail is available |
| TXS0108EPRJR | 8-bit, auto-direction sensing, 1.65–5.5 V range; 10 Ω Ron typical; requires VCC and OE pin | Direction detection adds latency; not suitable for true bidirectional synchronous buses like I²C | Prefer for UART/SPI where direction changes infrequently and VCC is present |
Compared with NLVT1024DT,118 and TXS0108EPRJR, the GTL2010PW,112 uniquely supports 1.0 V–5.0 V translation without any power supply or direction control, making it optimal for I²C and legacy bus bridging where minimal latency and zero-external-control operation are critical.

FAQ
Does GTL2010PW,112 require a power supply to operate?
No, GTL2010PW,112 requires no VCC or power rail. It operates entirely from external pull-up resistors on the Dn side and the reference voltage applied to SREF. This eliminates static power draw and latch-up risk, making GTL2010PW,112 ideal for always-on low-power systems and hot-swap applications.
What is the maximum recommended clamp current per channel for GTL2010PW,112?
The absolute maximum clamp current per channel for GTL2010PW,112 is ±128 mA, but the recommended operating limit is 64 mA. For reliable 350 mV max voltage drop, design for ≤15 mA per channel using pull-up resistors sized per Table 6 in the datasheet - e.g., 341 Ω for 5.0 V VCC and 15 mA target.
Can GTL2010PW,112 translate between 1.0 V and 5.0 V in both directions simultaneously?
Yes, GTL2010PW,112 supports true simultaneous bidirectional translation between 1.0 V and 5.0 V. When SREF is set to 1.0 V and DREF/GREF tied to 5.0 V, Sn ports clamp to 1.0 V while Dn ports are pulled to 5.0 V - enabling concurrent LOW-to-HIGH and HIGH-to-LOW transitions on separate channels within the same device.
Is GTL2010PW,112 compatible with I²C-bus timing requirements?
Yes, GTL2010PW,112 meets I²C-bus timing with tPLH/tPHL of 0.5–5.5 ns and low Cio(on) of 18.6 pF. Its flow-through pinout minimizes trace inductance, and the absence of direction control eliminates arbitration delays - supporting standard-mode (100 kHz) and fast-mode (400 kHz) I²C operation without timing violations.
How does GTL2010PW,112 handle ESD protection for connected low-voltage devices?
GTL2010PW,112 provides integrated ESD protection exceeding 2000 V HBM, 200 V MM, and 1000 V CDM on all Sn/Dn pins. Its NMOS clamp structure shunts transient energy to GND before it reaches sensitive downstream 1.0–1.8 V logic, eliminating need for external TVS diodes in most industrial and consumer applications.
