Product details
Overview
NTB0102GD,125 from NXP Semiconductors is a 2-bit dual-supply auto-direction-sensing voltage level translator IC enabling bidirectional translation between 1.2 V–3.6 V (VCC(A)) and 1.65 V–5.5 V (VCC(B)) domains. It features two 2-bit I/O ports (A1/A2, B1/B2), active-HIGH OE referenced to VCC(A), and IOFF circuitry for partial power-down protection. It supports real-time interface between mixed-voltage systems such as 1.8 V microcontrollers and 3.3 V peripherals.
For engineers reviewing the NTB0102GD,125 datasheet, NTB0102GD,125 pinout, NTB0102GD,125 application, or NTB0102GD,125 equivalent, key selection criteria include its auto-direction sensing capability, ±1 µA OFF-state leakage at −40 °C to +125 °C, 4.2 ns min propagation delay (A→B at VCC(B)=5.0 V), 7.5 pF B-port input/output capacitance, and XSON8 (SOT996-2) 3×2×0.5 mm package with 8 terminals.
Technical Context
The NTB0102GD,125 implements edge-triggered one-shot circuits on both A and B ports to detect signal transitions and dynamically enable PMOS/NMOS drive transistors-accelerating rising/falling edges without external direction control. Its output impedance varies with VCCO: ~70 Ω at 1.2–1.8 V, ~50 Ω at 1.8–3.3 V, and ~40 Ω at 3.3–5.0 V.
IOFF circuitry actively disables outputs when either VCC(A) or VCC(B) is at GND, preventing backflow current during partial power-down. Input clamping current is rated at ±50 mA, and latch-up performance exceeds 100 mA per JESD78B Class II.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC(A) Range | 1.2 V to 3.6 V - enables direct interface with 1.2 V, 1.5 V, 1.8 V, 2.5 V, and 3.3 V logic domains |
| VCC(B) Range | 1.65 V to 5.5 V - supports translation to 1.8 V, 2.5 V, 3.3 V, and 5.0 V systems |
| Propagation Delay (A→B) | 4.2 ns min at VCC(B)=5.0 V - ensures sub-5 ns latency for high-speed bidirectional data paths |
| OFF-State Leakage (IOZ) | ±10 µA max at −40 °C to +125 °C - guarantees low standby current in powered-down subsystems |
| Data Rate | 100 Mbps max at VCC(A)=3.3 V / VCC(B)=5.0 V - suitable for USB 1.1, SDIO, and fast GPIO bridging |
| ESD Robustness (B port) | HBM >15 kV - protects against electrostatic discharge in industrial and automotive board-level handling |
| Operating Temperature | −40 °C to +125 °C - qualified for under-hood automotive and industrial control applications |
Pinout & Package
NTB0102GD,125 uses the XSON8 plastic extremely thin small outline package (SOT996-2), measuring 3.0 × 2.0 × 0.5 mm with 8 solderable terminals and no leads. Pin 1 indicator is located on the lower left corner below the marking code "t02".
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A1, A2 | Data I/O (VCC(A)-referenced) | Bidirectional signals tied to low-voltage domain; tolerate up to 5.5 V inputs regardless of VCC(A) |
| B1, B2 | Data I/O (VCC(B)-referenced) | Bidirectional signals tied to higher-voltage domain; support full 5.5 V tolerance |
| OE | Output Enable (active HIGH) | Referenced to VCC(A); LOW forces all I/Os into high-impedance state; pull-down recommended for power-up safety |
| VCC(A) | Supply A | Power rail for A-side logic and OE input; must be ≤ VCC(B) during operation |
| VCC(B) | Supply B | Power rail for B-side logic; enables translation up to 5.5 V |
| GND | Ground | Common reference for both supply domains; required for IOFF and ESD clamp functionality |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Auto-direction sensing | Eliminates need for external direction-control signals; detects edge transitions to enable appropriate drive path dynamically |
| IOFF partial power-down | Prevents damaging backflow current when either VCC(A) or VCC(B) is off - critical for hot-swap and modular system designs |
| Wide voltage compatibility | Supports 1.2 V ↔ 5.0 V translation across 12 combinations (e.g., 1.8 V ↔ 3.3 V, 2.5 V ↔ 5.0 V) without external components |
| High ESD immunity (B port) | HBM Class 3B >15 kV - reduces need for external TVS diodes in exposed I/O interfaces |
| Low dynamic power | CPD = 5 pF (A port, A→B) and 18 pF (B port, A→B) - minimizes switching power in battery-powered and thermally constrained designs |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-supply translating transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TXS0102DCUR | Lower max VCC(B) = 5.5 V same; but only rated to +85 °C; lacks 15 kV HBM on B port | Suitable for commercial-grade consumer products; not qualified for automotive or extended-temp industrial use | Select TXS0102DCUR only if ambient temperature stays ≤85 °C and ESD exposure is controlled. |
| SN74AVC2T245RSWR | Requires external direction control (DIR pin); no auto-sensing; higher ICC(A)+ICC(B) = 40 µA max vs. 8 µA typical for NTB0102GD,125 | Better for deterministic unidirectional flows (e.g., UART TX/RX separation); adds PCB routing complexity | Choose SN74AVC2T245RSWR when precise direction timing control is needed and space allows DIR trace routing. |
Compared with TXS0102DCUR and SN74AVC2T245RSWR, NTB0102GD,125 uniquely combines auto-direction sensing, −40 °C to +125 °C operation, and 15 kV HBM robustness in a 3×2 mm XSON8 package - making it optimal for space-constrained, thermally demanding, and ESD-prone embedded systems where direction control signals are unavailable or undesirable.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable voltage difference between VCC(A) and VCC(B) for reliable operation of NTB0102GD,125?
VCC(A) must never exceed VCC(B) during normal operation per datasheet Section 9 - this is a hard functional constraint, not a recommendation. The device is designed for VCC(A) ≤ VCC(B), with valid operating pairs including 1.8 V/3.3 V, 2.5 V/5.0 V, and 1.2 V/1.8 V. Violating this condition risks undefined behavior or damage. NTB0102GD,125 tolerates VCC(A) ≥ VCC(B) only during power-up ramping, with no sequencing required.
Does NTB0102GD,125 support true bidirectional communication on the same pin pair without external direction control?
Yes. NTB0102GD,125 implements internal edge-detection one-shot circuits that automatically enable the correct drive path (A→B or B→A) based on signal transitions - eliminating the need for an external DIR pin. This is confirmed in Section 13.2 Architecture and Figure 10, where T1–T4 MOSFETs are gated by rising/falling edge detectors. NTB0102GD,125 maintains defined output levels in static states while allowing external drivers to override them during bus contention.
What is the guaranteed minimum data rate supported by NTB0102GD,125 across its full temperature range?
NTB0102GD,125 guarantees 40 Mbps minimum data rate over −40 °C to +125 °C (Table 12), verified at worst-case VCC(A)=1.5 V and VCC(B)=1.8 V. At 25 °C, it achieves up to 100 Mbps (Table 10). The 40 Mbps floor ensures reliable operation in automotive under-hood environments and industrial enclosures where junction temperatures reach 125 °C - critical for CAN FD auxiliary control links and high-speed sensor streaming.
How does the IOFF circuitry in NTB0102GD,125 protect against backflow current during partial power-down?
When either VCC(A) or VCC(B) drops to GND, NTB0102GD,125's IOFF circuitry actively disables all output drivers and isolates the I/O terminals, preventing reverse current flow through the device. This is measured as IOFF ≤ ±10 µA (Table 9) and is distinct from passive high-impedance states. The feature is validated per JESD78B Class II latch-up immunity (>100 mA), ensuring robustness in modular power architectures where subsystems power up/down independently.
Can NTB0102GD,125 be used in I²C or 1-Wire applications?
No. NTB0102GD,125 is explicitly not recommended for open-drain buses like I²C or 1-Wire (Section 13.6), due to its weak static drive strength (~70 Ω typical output impedance) and requirement for pull-up/pull-down resistors >50 kΩ to avoid contention. For I²C, NXP recommends the NTS0102 - a purpose-built, open-drain compatible translator. Using NTB0102GD,125 on I²C would risk bus lockup or excessive rise times.
