Product details
Overview
LSF0102GXX from Nexperia is a 2-channel bidirectional multi-voltage level translator supporting open-drain and push-pull interfaces, with up-translation ≤100 MHz and down-translation ≥100 MHz at ≤30 pF load, 5 V-tolerant I/O pins, and no direction pin required - deployed in I²C, SMBus, and GPIO voltage domain bridging between 0.95 V–5.0 V logic domains.
For engineers reviewing the LSF0102GXX datasheet, LSF0102GXX pinout, LSF0102GXX application, or LSF0102GXX equivalent, this page delivers verified pin functions, real-world translation performance across voltage pairs (e.g., 1.8 V ↔ 3.3 V), thermal operation to +125 °C, ESD robustness (HBM >2000 V), and flow-through PCB routing advantages.
Technical Context
The LSF0102GXX implements passive MOSFET-based bidirectional translation without internal level-shifting circuitry, enabling automatic signal direction detection via external pull-up resistors on A/B sides. Its reference voltage pins (refA, refB) independently set translation thresholds per channel.
It operates across five defined voltage pairings - including 0.95 V ↔ 1.8 V, 1.8 V ↔ 3.3 V, and 3.3 V ↔ 5.0 V - with ON-resistance as low as 3 Ω (typ.) at 1.8 V/3.3 V and propagation delays under 0.4 ns (tPLH/tPHL, CL = 15 pF) for high-speed interface bridging.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Channels | 2 independent bidirectional data paths (A1/B1 and A2/B2) |
| Up-translation speed | ≤100 MHz at CL ≤30 pF - supports fast I²C Fast-mode Plus (1 Mbit/s) and PMBus timing |
| Down-translation speed | ≥100 MHz at CL ≤30 pF - enables reliable high-speed signal return from higher-voltage domains |
| Voltage pairing flexibility | Five fixed combinations: e.g., 0.95 V ↔ 1.8 V, 1.8 V ↔ 3.3 V, 3.3 V ↔ 5.0 V - no reconfiguration needed per use case |
| ON-resistance (RON) | 3 Ω (typ.) at VrefA = 2.5 V - minimizes voltage drop and signal distortion in push-pull mode |
| ESD protection | HBM >2000 V, CDM >1000 V - ensures robustness during board handling and system integration |
| Operating temperature | −40 °C to +125 °C - qualified for industrial and telecom infrastructure environments |
Pinout & Package
X2SON8 package: plastic thermal-enhanced extremely thin small outline, 8-terminal, no leads, body size 1.35 × 0.8 × 0.32 mm (SOT1233-2), optimized for high-density PCB layouts and thermal dissipation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GND | Ground reference | Common 0 V return path for all internal circuitry and signal references |
| EN | Enable input (active HIGH) | Assert HIGH to activate translation; LOW places A/B pins in high-impedance state for hot insertion |
| refA | Reference voltage A | Sets lower-voltage domain threshold (e.g., 1.8 V) for channel A-side translation |
| refB | Reference voltage B | Sets higher-voltage domain threshold (e.g., 3.3 V) for channel B-side translation |
| A1, A2 | Data I/O A side | Bidirectional signals tied to refA domain; tolerate up to 5 V regardless of refA setting |
| B1, B2 | Data I/O B side | Bidirectional signals tied to refB domain; tolerate up to 5 V regardless of refB setting |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No direction pin required | Reduces PCB routing complexity and eliminates need for GPIO-controlled control logic |
| Flow-through pinout | Enables straight trace routing across package - minimizes vias and signal skew in dense layouts |
| 5 V-tolerant I/O | Allows direct connection to legacy TTL or 5 V microcontrollers without external clamping |
| Hot-insertion support | EN = LOW forces high-Z state on all I/Os - prevents bus contention during live module replacement |
| Latch-up immunity | Exceeds 100 mA per JESD78 Class II Level A - ensures reliability in noisy industrial environments |
Applications
| I²C Bus Bridging | SMBus Power Management |
|---|---|

Use Value: Guarantees setup/hold timing margins across voltage domains - avoids PHY initialization failures during boot. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bidirectional level translation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TXS0102DSGR | Active-drive architecture with internal charge pump; requires no external pull-ups; higher static current (20 µA vs. 1 µA) | Better suited for ultra-low-power always-on monitoring; less tolerant of floating bus states | Select when external pull-up resistors are undesirable and supply current budget allows ~20× higher quiescent draw |
| PCA9306DCUR | Fixed 1.2 V–3.3 V and 1.8 V–5.0 V pairings only; no refA/refB flexibility; max 40 MHz up/down translation | Limited to two preset voltage combinations; insufficient for mixed-domain 0.95 V ↔ 5.0 V use cases | Choose only if design uses only standard pairs and speed requirements stay below 40 MHz |
Compared with TXS0102DSGR and PCA9306DCUR, the LSF0102GXX offers broader voltage pairing coverage, superior speed (≥100 MHz), and zero-direction-pin simplicity - making it optimal for flexible, high-speed, multi-rail embedded systems where external pull-up control is acceptable.

FAQ
What voltage combinations does the LSF0102GXX support?
The LSF0102GXX supports five discrete voltage pairings: 0.95 V ↔ 1.8 V, 1.2 V ↔ 1.8 V/2.5 V/3.3 V/5.0 V, 1.8 V ↔ 2.5 V/3.3 V/5.0 V, 2.5 V ↔ 3.3 V/5.0 V, and 3.3 V ↔ 5.0 V. Each channel uses independent refA and refB pins to configure its translation thresholds - no internal register programming is required.
Does the LSF0102GXX require external pull-up resistors?
Yes - external pull-up resistors are mandatory on both A-side and B-side data lines to establish valid HIGH logic levels during open-drain operation. The device itself contains no internal pull-ups; typical values range from 2.2 kΩ to 10 kΩ depending on bus capacitance and speed requirements.
How does the EN pin affect signal behavior?
When EN is driven LOW, all A1/A2/B1/B2 pins enter high-impedance (Z) state - effectively disconnecting both sides of the translator. This enables safe hot insertion, bus isolation during reset, or dynamic power gating without signal contention or leakage paths.
Can the LSF0102GXX translate between 5 V and sub-1 V logic domains?
No - the minimum supported refA voltage is 0.95 V, and refB must be ≥ refA. Translation from 5 V down to 0.95 V is supported, but direct 5 V ↔ 0.8 V or lower is outside specification. For sub-1 V domains, verify compatibility with the 0.95 V lower bound and ensure signal integrity at target edge rates.
