Product details
Overview
LSF0108QPWRQ1 from Texas Instruments is an AEC-Q100 qualified automotive 8-channel bidirectional multi-voltage level translator IC. It enables voltage translation between 0.65 V ↔ 1.8/2.5/3.3/5 V (RKS only), 0.95 V ↔ 1.8–5 V, and 1.2–3.3 V ↔ higher rails without direction control, supports up to 100 MHz down-translation at ≤30-pF load, and operates from –40°C to +125°C in TSSOP-20 (PW) or VQFN-20 (RKS) packages.
For engineers reviewing the LSF0108QPWRQ1 datasheet, LSF0108QPWRQ1 pinout, LSF0108QPWRQ1 application, or LSF0108QPWRQ1 equivalent, key selection considerations include its auto-bidirectional operation, channel-specific reference voltage support (Vref_A/Vref_B), EN-controlled high-impedance state, 5-V-tolerant I/Os, and wettable-flank VQFN option for AOI-compatible solder joint inspection.
Technical Context
The LSF0108QPWRQ1 implements passive FET-based switch architecture with no internal level-shifting buffers - translation relies on external pull-up resistors and controlled on-resistance (RON). Its dual-reference design allows independent Vref_A (0.65–5.5 V, RKS only; 0.95–5.5 V, PW) and Vref_B (1.8–5.5 V) supplies per channel group, enabling mixed-rail interfaces like 1.8 V I²C to 3.3 V PMBus.
Operation is governed by real-time voltage comparison: when either A-side or B-side port is driven LOW, the corresponding FET switch turns ON (low RON ≈ 3–15 Ω depending on rail combination), establishing a low-impedance path; when both sides are HIGH, the switch turns OFF and clamps the low-voltage side to Vref_A. EN pin ties directly to Vref_B and requires biasing via 200-kΩ resistor to enable translation or drive LOW for Hi-Z mode.

Pinout & Package
LSF0108QPWRQ1 is available in PW (TSSOP-20) package, 6.5 mm × 6.4 mm, with wettable flanks not supported in this variant. Pin numbering follows standard TSSOP top-view orientation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GND (Pin 1) | Ground reference | Common return path for all internal switches and bias circuitry; must be low-inductance connection |
| Vref_A (Pin 2) | Low-side reference supply | Sets clamping voltage for A-side I/Os; determines minimum logic HIGH threshold on A ports |
| A1–A8 (Pins 3–10) | Low-voltage data I/O | Bidirectional signal terminals tied to Vref_A domain; tolerate 5 V when Vref_A ≤ 3.3 V |
| B1–B8 (Pins 11–18) | High-voltage data I/O | Bidirectional signal terminals tied to Vref_B domain; 5-V tolerant regardless of Vref_B |
| Vref_B (Pin 19) | High-side reference supply | Sets operating point for B-side drivers; must be ≥ Vref_A + 0.6 V for translation |
| EN (Pin 20) | Enable control input | Must be tied directly to Vref_B and pulled up via 200-kΩ resistor; LOW forces all I/Os into Hi-Z |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Auto-bidirectional translation | Eliminates DIR pin requirement - detects direction dynamically via voltage differential, simplifying I²C/SMBus GPIO routing |
| Channel-specific voltage mapping | Each A/B pair independently configurable via Vref_A/Vref_B; enables mixed-interface systems (e.g., 1.8 V sensor + 3.3 V MCU) |
| Hot-insertion support | Hi-Z state on power-up/power-down (via EN control) prevents bus contention during live insertion into backplane or module systems |
| Low signal distortion | RON < 10 Ω (typical) and <1.5 ns propagation delay ensure integrity for 40+ MHz digital signals with minimal rise/fall time degradation |
| Wettable flank option (RKS only) | VQFN-20 package includes side-wettable leads for automated optical inspection (AOI) of solder fillets - not applicable to PW (TSSOP) variant |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bidirectional level translation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LSF0204QPWRQ1 | 4-channel version; identical architecture, same Vref_A/Vref_B ranges and speed specs; smaller TSSOP-14 package | Suitable where fewer channels reduce PCB area and cost; not scalable to 8-signal buses | Select when system requires ≤4 bidirectional lines and space-constrained layout |
| TXS0108EQPWRQ1 | Buffer-based (not switch-based); includes internal charge pump; supports 1.2–3.6 V → 1.65–5.5 V; higher ICC (20 µA vs. 0.05 µA) | Better for weak-drive or high-capacitance buses; less suitable for ultra-low-power always-on nodes | Choose when driving >50-pF loads or when external pull-ups cannot be used |
Compared with LSF0204QPWRQ1, the LSF0108QPWRQ1 provides double the channel count in same footprint family but consumes identical quiescent current; versus TXS0108EQPWRQ1, it delivers lower power and tighter propagation delay control but requires careful external pull-up design and cannot drive high-capacitance buses without signal degradation.

FAQ
What is the maximum capacitive load supported by LSF0108QPWRQ1 at 100 MHz translation speed?
The LSF0108QPWRQ1 supports up to 100 MHz down-translation only when the total capacitive load (including trace + receiver input) is ≤30 pF. At 50-pF load, maximum reliable speed drops to 40 MHz for both up- and down-translation. Exceeding these limits increases propagation delay variation and may cause setup/hold violations in high-speed interfaces like SDIO or MDIO. The LSF0108QPWRQ1 datasheet specifies these values under switching characteristics tables 6.7 and 6.8.
Can LSF0108QPWRQ1 translate between 0.65 V and 3.3 V logic levels?
No - the 0.65 V Vref_A capability applies exclusively to the RKS (VQFN-20) package variant of the LSF0108-Q1 family. The LSF0108QPWRQ1 uses the PW (TSSOP-20) package, which supports Vref_A from 0.95 V to 5.5 V only. Therefore, LSF0108QPWRQ1 cannot operate with Vref_A = 0.65 V; minimum valid Vref_A is 0.95 V. This distinction is explicitly stated in revision history and electrical characteristics sections of the TI datasheet SDLS967H.
How should the EN pin be configured for proper operation of LSF0108QPWRQ1?
The EN pin of LSF0108QPWRQ1 must be tied directly to Vref_B and pulled up to Vref_B through a 200-kΩ bias resistor. This ensures the device enters active translation mode when Vref_B is powered. Driving EN LOW places all A/B I/Os in high-impedance state - critical for hot-plug scenarios. EN must never be left floating or driven by logic-level signals incompatible with Vref_B; incorrect EN biasing causes undefined channel behavior or failure to translate. This configuration is mandatory per Section 8.3.2 of the LSF0108QPWRQ1 datasheet.
Does LSF0108QPWRQ1 require external pull-up resistors, and if so, where?
Yes - LSF0108QPWRQ1 requires external pull-up resistors on the B-side (high-voltage side) for all up-translation scenarios, and optionally on the A-side if interfacing with open-drain drivers or receivers with >1 µA leakage. Pull-ups are not needed on the A-side for push-pull-to-push-pull down-translation with low-leakage receivers. Resistor value impacts max speed: 250 Ω enables ~100 MHz with 30-pF load, while 1 kΩ limits to ~40 MHz at 50-pF. These guidelines are detailed in Section 8.4.1 and Figure 8-3 of the LSF0108QPWRQ1 datasheet.
Is LSF0108QPWRQ1 pin-compatible with other members of the LSF-Q1 family?
LSF0108QPWRQ1 shares identical pinout and function mapping with LSF0108RKSQ1 (VQFN-20), including GND, Vref_A, A1–A8, B1–B8, Vref_B, and EN assignments. However, it is not pin-compatible with 4-channel variants (e.g., LSF0204QPWRQ1 uses TSSOP-14) or buffer-based alternatives (e.g., TXS0108EQPWRQ1 has different EN and VCC pin placements). Always verify package mechanical drawings and signal mapping before PCB reuse - the LSF0108QPWRQ1 pin configuration is defined in Figure 5-1 of its datasheet.
