Product details
Overview
LSF0204QPWRQ1 from Texas Instruments is an AEC-Q100 Grade 1 automotive-qualified 4-channel auto-bidirectional voltage level translator supporting 0.95 V ↔ 1.8/2.5/3.3/5.5 V and 1.2 V ↔ 1.8/2.5/3.3/5.5 V translation without direction control, with ≤5 Ω on-state resistance, 100-MHz down-translation capability at 30-pF load, and operation from –40°C to 125°C - deployed in ADAS front camera and infotainment head unit interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the LSF0204QPWRQ1 datasheet, LSF0204QPWRQ1 pinout, LSF0204QPWRQ1 application, or LSF0204QPWRQ1 equivalent, key selection criteria include bidirectional I²C/MDIO/SPI voltage translation across mismatched rails (e.g., 1.2 V ↔ 3.3 V), EN-controlled high-impedance disable state, 5-V-tolerant I/Os, flow-through TSSOP-14 layout compatibility, and automotive-grade ESD robustness (HBM ±2 kV, CDM ±1 kV).
Technical Context
The LSF0204QPWRQ1 implements a passive MOSFET-based switch architecture with dual reference supplies (Vref_A: 0.95–4.5 V; Vref_B: 1.8–5.5 V), enabling automatic bidirectional translation by sensing relative voltage levels at A/B ports - no direction pin required. Its EN input is referenced solely to Vref_A and controls all four channels simultaneously.
Each channel operates as an independent pass transistor with low Ron (3–9 Ω depending on rail combination and current), supporting both open-drain (I²C, SMBus) and push-pull (SPI, UART, GPIO) protocols. Translation speed is load-dependent: up to 100 MHz for down-translation (e.g., 3.3 V → 1.8 V) at ≤30-pF capacitance, and 40–50 MHz for up/down at 50-pF.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Channels | 4 independent bidirectional translation paths |
| Vref_A Range | 0.95 V to 4.5 V - sets low-side logic threshold and enables 1.2 V system interfacing |
| Vref_B Range | 1.8 V to 5.5 V - supports legacy 3.3 V/5 V peripherals and 5-V-tolerant I/Os |
| Max Translation Speed | 100 MHz down (3.3 V → 1.8 V, 30-pF), 50 MHz up/down (50-pF) - defines usable data rate for I²C fast-mode plus or MDIO |
| On-State Resistance | 3 Ω typical (3.3 V → 5 V, 64 mA) - ensures <350 mV pass voltage and preserves signal integrity |
| ESD Rating | HBM ±2000 V, CDM ±1000 V - meets AEC-Q100-002/-001 for automotive PCB handling |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +125°C (Grade 1) - qualified for under-hood and display cluster environments |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP-14 package (5.00 mm × 4.40 mm), flow-through pinout optimized for minimal trace stubs and simplified PCB routing in high-speed interface layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VREF_A (Pin 1) | Low-side reference supply | Sets A-port logic thresholds; must be lowest voltage rail in multi-rail systems |
| A1–A4 (Pins 2–5) | Low-voltage I/O port | Bidirectional data path tied to Vref_A domain; 5-V tolerant |
| NC (Pins 6, 9) | No connection | Not internally bonded - leave unconnected and unstubbed |
| GND (Pin 7) | Power return | Common ground reference for both domains; critical for noise immunity |
| EN (Pin 8) | Enable control input | Active-high, Vref_A-referenced; disables all channels to Hi-Z when low |
| B1–B4 (Pins 10–13) | High-voltage I/O port | Bidirectional data path tied to Vref_B domain; 5-V tolerant |
| VREF_B (Pin 14) | High-side reference supply | Sets B-port logic thresholds; must exceed Vref_A by ≥0.8 V for reliable operation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Auto-bidirectional translation | Eliminates direction-control logic and timing constraints in I²C/MDIO bus arbitration |
| Channel-specific pull-up support | Enables mixed-voltage systems (e.g., [email protected] V, [email protected] V) using discrete Vpu resistors per channel |
| Ioff partial power-down | Places all I/Os in Hi-Z when either Vref_A or Vref_B = 0 V - prevents backfeeding during power sequencing |
| Flow-through pinout | Reduces PCB layer count and trace length asymmetry - critical for maintaining signal integrity at >40 MHz |
| 5-V-tolerant I/Os | Allows direct connection to 5-V peripherals without external clamping - simplifies BOM in legacy automotive modules |
Applications
| Infotainment Head Unit | ADAS Front Camera |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage translation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TXS0104EQPWRQ1 | Active-drive architecture with integrated 10-kΩ pull-ups; higher static current (20 µA vs. <1 µA); no Vref_B pin - fixed 5-V tolerance | Optimized for I²C-only, low-pin-count designs; lacks per-channel Vpu flexibility of LSF0204QPWRQ1 | Select when board space is constrained and only standard 1.8 V ↔ 3.3 V I²C translation is needed without custom pull-up tuning. |
| SN74AVC4T245QPWRQ1 | Direction-controlled (DIR pin required); higher drive strength (24 mA); supports 1.2 V ↔ 3.6 V but not 5-V-tolerant I/Os | Suitable for push-pull SPI/UART where direction is statically known; incompatible with open-drain buses like I²C without external logic. | Select when deterministic unidirectional high-speed data transfer (e.g., camera parallel interface) is required and direction control is available. |
Compared with TXS0104EQPWRQ1 and SN74AVC4T245QPWRQ1, the LSF0204QPWRQ1 uniquely delivers auto-bidirectional operation without DIR pin, per-channel Vpu configurability, and true 5-V I/O tolerance - making it the only option for mixed-rail, open-drain automotive interfaces requiring zero-gate-count integration.

FAQ
What voltage combinations does the LSF0204QPWRQ1 support for bidirectional translation?
The LSF0204QPWRQ1 supports bidirectional translation between 0.95 V ↔ 1.8/2.5/3.3/5.5 V, 1.2 V ↔ 1.8/2.5/3.3/5.5 V, 1.8 V ↔ 2.5/3.3/5.5 V, 2.5 V ↔ 3.3/5.5 V, and 3.3 V ↔ 5.5 V. These combinations are explicitly verified in the datasheet's Section 1 and Table 6-5. The LSF0204QPWRQ1 achieves this via dual-reference architecture (Vref_A and Vref_B) and requires Vref_B ≥ Vref_A + 0.8 V for reliable operation.
Does the LSF0204QPWRQ1 require external pull-up resistors, and how are they selected?
Yes, the LSF0204QPWRQ1 requires external pull-up resistors on both A and B sides to establish logic HIGH levels. Resistor values depend on Vpu, target current (≤15 mA recommended), and acceptable pass voltage (<350 mV). For example, with Vpu = 3.3 V, Rpu ≈ 197 Ω (nominal) or 217 Ω (+10% tolerance). Table 8-3 in the LSF0204QPWRQ1 datasheet provides exact values for 1.2 V to 5 V rails at 3/10/15 mA currents.
How does the EN pin function, and what supply must drive it?
The EN pin is active-high and referenced exclusively to Vref_A. When EN = HIGH (≥0.7×Vref_A), all four channels conduct bidirectionally; when EN = LOW (≤0.3×Vref_A), all I/Os enter high-impedance state. EN must be driven from the Vref_A domain - connecting it to Vref_B or GND directly violates the input voltage specification and may cause undefined behavior in the LSF0204QPWRQ1.
Can the LSF0204QPWRQ1 translate between 1.0 V and 3.3 V, and is this configuration automotive-qualified?
Yes, the LSF0204QPWRQ1 supports 1.0 V ↔ 3.3 V translation as part of its 0.95 V ↔ 1.8/2.5/3.3/5.5 V range, and this configuration is fully covered under its AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification (–40°C to +125°C). The device's Vref_A minimum of 0.95 V and Vref_B maximum of 5.5 V, combined with its tested 1.2 V ↔ 3.3 V performance, confirm functional validity at 1.0 V - validated in production test conditions per TI's automotive release protocol for the LSF0204QPWRQ1.
What is the maximum capacitive load the LSF0204QPWRQ1 can drive at 100-MHz translation speed?
The LSF0204QPWRQ1 achieves 100-MHz translation speed only with ≤30-pF total capacitive load (including PCB trace, probe, and device pin capacitance), as specified in Sections 6.6 and 6.7 of the datasheet for down-translation (e.g., 3.3 V → 1.8 V). At 50-pF load, maximum speed drops to 40–50 MHz. Exceeding 30 pF degrades edge rates and increases propagation delay beyond guaranteed limits in the LSF0204QPWRQ1 AC specifications.
