Product details
Overview
GTL2010PW/G,118 from NXP Semiconductors is a 10-bit bidirectional low-voltage translator IC enabling seamless voltage level translation between 1.0 V and 5.0 V buses without direction control. It features 10 matched NMOS pass transistors with common gate (GREF), 6.5 Ω typical ON-state resistance, sub-6 ns propagation delay, and supports I²C-bus interface translation in processor-to-peripheral interconnects.
For engineers reviewing the GTL2010PW/G,118 datasheet, GTL2010PW/G,118 pinout, GTL2010PW/G,118 application, or GTL2010PW/G,118 equivalent, this device delivers verified bidirectional translation for mixed-voltage SoC interfaces-especially where hot insertion, 5 V-tolerant inputs, and ESD-hardened signal routing are required in space-constrained embedded designs.
Technical Context
The GTL2010PW/G,118 implements Gunning Transceiver Logic–Transceiver Voltage Clamp (GTL-TVC) architecture using symmetrical NMOS pass transistors. Its reference transistor (SREF/DREF/GREF) sets clamping voltage, enabling bidirectional translation by dynamically limiting Sn port voltage to SREF while allowing Dn to be pulled to VCC via external resistors.
No internal power supply is required-the device operates passively via external pull-ups and reference biasing. Translation direction is determined solely by relative voltage levels on Sn and Dn ports, eliminating need for control logic or direction pins. All 10 channels exhibit matched Ron and propagation delay across temperature (−40 °C to +85 °C).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Channel count | 10 independent bidirectional translation channels (S1–S10 / D1–D10) |
| ON-state resistance (Ron) | 6.5 Ω typical at VGREF = 4.5 V, IO = 64 mA - ensures minimal voltage drop and signal integrity during active translation |
| Propagation delay | 0.5–5.5 ns (tPLH/tPHL) - enables high-speed operation up to >100 MHz in I²C and GTL+ bus applications |
| Voltage translation range | 1.0 V ↔ 5.0 V bidirectionally - supports direct interface between 1.0/1.2/1.5/1.8/2.5/3.3/5.0 V logic families |
| ESD protection | 2000 V HBM, 200 V MM, 1000 V CDM - protects downstream 1.0–1.8 V processor I/O from system-level ESD events |
| Input tolerance | 5 V tolerant on all Sn/Dn pins - allows safe connection to higher-voltage peripherals without external clamping |
| Operating temperature | −40 °C to +85 °C - qualified for industrial and automotive under-hood control module environments |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP24 package (SOT355-1): plastic thin shrink small outline, 24-pin, 4.4 mm body width, lead pitch 0.65 mm. Exposed pad not present; standard PCB thermal relief sufficient.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GND (Pin 1) | Ground reference | Common return path for all internal transistors; must connect to system ground plane for stable clamp reference |
| SREF (Pin 2) | Reference source terminal | Connects to core voltage (e.g., 1.2 V or 1.8 V CPU rail); sets maximum output voltage on Sn side |
| S1–S10 (Pins 3–12) | Low-voltage side source terminals | Interface directly with 1.0–1.8 V processor I/O; no external pull-ups required on this side |
| D1–D10 (Pins 13–22) | High-voltage side drain terminals | Connect to 3.3 V/5.0 V peripherals; require external pull-up resistors (e.g., 2.2 kΩ) to VCC |
| DREF (Pin 23) | Reference drain terminal | Connected to higher-voltage VCC (3.3–5.5 V) via 200 kΩ pull-up; establishes gate bias for all transistors |
| GREF (Pin 24) | Reference gate terminal | Internally tied to DREF; sets conduction threshold - must be ≥1.5 V above SREF for reliable operation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No direction pin required | Enables true bidirectional signal flow on same pins - eliminates PCB routing complexity and firmware overhead in I²C/SMBus links |
| Matched transistor characteristics | All 10 channels share identical Ron, delay, and leakage - ensures consistent timing and voltage margins across multi-bit buses like address/data lines |
| Hot-insertion support | Zero power supply requirement and latch-up immunity allow safe live insertion into powered backplanes or modular systems |
| Flow-through pinout | Pins arranged S1/D1…S10/D10 sequentially - simplifies differential-length-controlled trace routing and reduces crosstalk in dense layouts |
| ESD-hardened I/O | Exceeds JESD22-A114 (2000 V HBM) - protects sensitive low-voltage cores during board handling and system integration |
Applications
| Processor-to-Peripheral I²C Translation | Multi-Voltage Backplane Interfacing |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bidirectional voltage translation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| NLVM2010MUTAG | 10-channel, 1.2–5.5 V range; requires external VCC; 8 Ω Ron at 3.3 V | Needs dedicated 1.8–5.5 V supply; less suitable for ultra-low-power always-on I²C segments | Select when system already provides regulated auxiliary supply and higher Ron is acceptable |
| SN74AVC16T245DGGR | 16-bit, direction-controlled, 1.2–3.6 V; active CMOS design; 3.5 Ω Ron | Requires direction pin and dual supplies; superior drive strength but adds control logic overhead | Prefer for high-drive, uni/bidirectional parallel buses where pin count and direction control are available |
Compared with NLVM2010MUTAG and SN74AVC16T245DGGR, the GTL2010PW/G,118 uniquely delivers zero-power passive operation, guaranteed 6.5 Ω Ron at 1.2 V core rails, and flow-through layout compatibility-making it optimal for cost-sensitive, space-constrained, and ultra-low-quiescent-current I²C and GTL+ bridging.

FAQ
Does GTL2010PW/G,118 require an external power supply to operate?
No, GTL2010PW/G,118 is a passive translator with no internal power rail. It operates solely via external pull-up resistors on the Dn side and biasing of GREF/DREF to VCC. This eliminates quiescent current draw and latch-up risk, making GTL2010PW/G,118 ideal for always-on I²C monitoring circuits and hot-pluggable modules where supply sequencing is impractical.
What is the minimum voltage difference required between GREF and SREF for reliable operation of GTL2010PW/G,118?
GTL2010PW/G,118 requires GREF to be at least 1.5 V higher than SREF for optimal translator performance, as specified in Section 7.1 of the datasheet. For example, if SREF is set to 1.2 V (for 1.2 V processor core), GREF must be ≥2.7 V-typically achieved by tying GREF/DREF to a 3.3 V or 5.0 V system rail through a 200 kΩ resistor.
Can GTL2010PW/G,118 translate between 1.0 V and 5.0 V in both directions simultaneously?
Yes, GTL2010PW/G,118 supports true simultaneous bidirectional translation between 1.0 V and 5.0 V domains. When SREF = 1.0 V and DREF/GREF = 5.0 V, Sn ports are clamped to ≤1.0 V while Dn ports swing fully to 5.0 V, enabling concurrent read/write traffic-verified in Figure 4 (bidirectional I²C application) of the GTL2010PW/G,118 datasheet.
How does GTL2010PW/G,118 handle ESD events on its I/O pins?
GTL2010PW/G,118 provides on-die ESD protection exceeding 2000 V HBM (JESD22-A114), 200 V MM (JESD22-A115), and 1000 V CDM (JESD22-C101). Its NMOS clamp structure shunts transient current to GND or VCC rails without triggering latch-up, protecting downstream 1.0–1.8 V logic while maintaining signal integrity-critical for field-serviceable equipment interfaces.
Is GTL2010PW/G,118 pin-compatible with other devices in the GTL20xx family?
GTL2010PW/G,118 shares identical TSSOP24 pinout and functional mapping with GTL2010PW (base variant); however, it is not pin-compatible with GTL2000 (22-bit) or GTL2002 (dual 10-bit) due to differing channel counts and pin assignments. Always verify against the specific ordering option's pin configuration diagram-Figure 2 in the GTL2010PW/G,118 datasheet confirms TSSOP24 layout.
