Product details
Overview
NTS0101GN,132 from NXP Semiconductors is a 1-bit dual-supply auto-direction-sensing voltage-level translating transceiver with open-drain I/O architecture, supporting bidirectional translation between 1.65 V–3.6 V (VCC(A)) and 2.3 V–5.5 V (VCC(B)). It delivers 50 Mbps data rate in push-pull mode, features IOFF partial power-down protection, and operates across −40 °C to +125 °C. It is used in I²C/SMBus bus bridging between mixed-voltage microcontrollers and peripheral ICs.
For engineers reviewing the NTS0101GN,132 datasheet, NTS0101GN,132 pinout, NTS0101GN,132 application, or NTS0101GN,132 equivalent, key selection criteria include verified auto-direction sensing behavior, guaranteed 50 Mbps operation under 1.8 V/3.3 V and 1.8 V/5.0 V translation, IOFF-enabled safe power sequencing, and compatibility with standard I²C pull-up configurations.
Technical Context
The NTS0101GN,132 implements a switch-type voltage translator using an N-channel pass-gate transistor (T3) biased ~1 VTH above the lower supply rail, enabling passive level shifting without direction control signals. Its output edge-rate accelerator employs one-shot circuits that activate on input transitions crossing VCCI/2, temporarily bypassing internal 10 kΩ pull-ups with low-impedance PMOS drivers (50–70 Ω) to accelerate rising edges.
This architecture supports true bidirectional open-drain signaling for I²C and SMBus, where static DC current sourcing is handled by internal 10 kΩ pull-ups (to VCC(A) on A port, VCC(B) on B port), while dynamic edge acceleration ensures compliance with I²C timing budgets even at 50 Mbps. The device enters high-impedance OFF-state when OE is LOW or either supply is at GND.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC(A) Range | 1.65 V to 3.6 V - enables interface with 1.8 V or 2.5 V logic domains (e.g., ARM Cortex-M peripherals) |
| VCC(B) Range | 2.3 V to 5.5 V - supports connection to 3.3 V or 5.0 V buses (e.g., legacy sensors, UART transceivers) |
| Max Data Rate | 50 Mbps - sufficient for high-speed I²C Fast-mode Plus (1 Mbps) and GPIO burst transfers |
| IOFF Leakage | <±1 µA at 0 V supply - prevents backflow current during partial power-down, critical for battery-backed systems |
| ESD Robustness | HBM Class 3B > 8 kV on B port - protects against system-level ESD events on higher-voltage side |
| Operating Temp | −40 °C to +125 °C - qualified for automotive under-hood and industrial motor-control environments |
| Propagation Delay | A↔B: 2.4–7.3 ns (VCC(A)=3.3 V, VCC(B)=5.0 V, −40 °C to +125 °C) - meets tight timing margins in real-time sensor fusion |
Pinout & Package
NTS0101GN,132 is supplied in SOT886 (XSON6) package: plastic extremely thin small outline, no leads, 6 terminals, body size 1.0 × 1.45 × 0.5 mm.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VCC(A) | Low-side supply rail | Reference for A port and OE input; must be ≤ VCC(B); powers internal bias and one-shot logic |
| GND | Common ground reference | Shared return path for both supply domains; required for proper IOFF and ESD clamp operation |
| A | Bidirectional I/O (low-voltage side) | Open-drain port referenced to VCC(A); includes internal 10 kΩ pull-up; accepts up to 5.5 V inputs |
| B | Bidirectional I/O (high-voltage side) | Open-drain port referenced to VCC(B); includes internal 10 kΩ pull-up; withstands 5.5 V absolute max |
| OE | Output enable (active HIGH) | Referenced to VCC(A); LOW forces A/B into high-Z; enables system-level isolation during sleep modes |
| VCC(B) | High-side supply rail | Reference for B port; powers pass-gate bias and output acceleration circuitry; sets VOH level |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Auto-direction sensing | Eliminates need for external direction control lines-reduces PCB routing complexity and firmware overhead in I²C master-slave arbitration |
| IOFF partial power-down | Disables outputs and blocks backflow current when either VCC(A) or VCC(B) = 0 V-enables hot-swap capability in modular systems |
| Integrated 10 kΩ pull-ups | Provides DC current sourcing on both A and B ports-removes need for external resistors in standard I²C bus termination |
| Edge-rate acceleration | Reduces tTLH to as low as 1.9 ns (A port, 3.3 V→5.0 V) - maintains signal integrity on long traces without external active drivers |
| Wide temperature range | Specified from −40 °C to +125 °C - supports deployment in engine control units, industrial PLCs, and outdoor IoT gateways |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage translation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TXS0101DCUR | Single-bit auto-direction translator with identical 1.65–3.6 V / 2.3–5.5 V supply ranges but uses different edge-acceleration architecture; slightly higher tPHL (up to 8.8 ns @ +125 °C). | Qualified for industrial temp only (−40 °C to +85 °C); lacks HBM Class 3B ESD rating on high-voltage port. | Preferred for cost-sensitive industrial designs where extended temperature and enhanced ESD are not required. |
| PCA9306DCUR | 2-bit I²C translator with manual direction control (DIR pin); no auto-sensing; requires external pull-ups; supports 1.2–3.6 V / 1.8–5.5 V. | Requires firmware-managed DIR control; unsuitable for multi-master I²C arbitration; lacks IOFF protection. | Appropriate only when fixed unidirectional translation is acceptable and system firmware can manage direction state. |
Compared with TXS0101DCUR and PCA9306DCUR, the NTS0101GN,132 uniquely combines auto-direction sensing, IOFF safety, Class 3B ESD on the B port, and full −40 °C to +125 °C qualification-making it the only option for robust, maintenance-free I²C bridging in automotive and harsh-environment applications.

FAQ
What is the maximum supported data rate for NTS0101GN,132 in push-pull mode?
The NTS0101GN,132 supports a maximum data rate of 50 Mbps in push-pull mode across its full operating temperature range (−40 °C to +125 °C) and supply combinations (e.g., VCC(A) = 1.8 V, VCC(B) = 5.0 V). This value is measured under defined test conditions with RL = 1 MΩ and CL = 15 pF, and remains valid regardless of direction (A→B or B→A).
Does NTS0101GN,132 require external pull-up resistors for I²C operation?
No, the NTS0101GN,132 includes internal 10 kΩ pull-up resistors on both A and B ports-referenced to VCC(A) and VCC(B), respectively. These eliminate the need for external pull-ups in standard I²C implementations. However, if faster rise times or stronger drive are required, external resistors may be added in parallel to reduce effective pull-up resistance.
How does the IOFF feature protect the NTS0101GN,132 during partial power-down?
The IOFF circuitry in the NTS0101GN,132 disables all outputs and blocks damaging backflow current when either VCC(A) or VCC(B) is at GND. This occurs automatically-no external control is needed-and ensures safe operation during hot-swap, sleep/wake transitions, or asymmetric power sequencing in complex multi-rail systems.
Can NTS0101GN,132 translate between 1.65 V and 5.0 V rails?
Yes, the NTS0101GN,132 is explicitly rated for VCC(A) = 1.65 V to 3.6 V and VCC(B) = 2.3 V to 5.5 V, making 1.65 V ↔ 5.0 V translation fully supported. Input tolerance up to 5.5 V on the A port and robust ESD protection (HBM > 8 kV on B port) ensure reliability in this configuration.
What is the function of the OE pin on NTS0101GN,132, and how should it be managed?
The OE (output enable) pin on the NTS0101GN,132 is active HIGH and referenced to VCC(A). When OE = LOW, both A and B ports enter high-impedance OFF-state. To ensure safe power-up, OE should be tied to GND via a pull-down resistor; the minimum value depends on the current-sourcing capability of the driving circuit, typically 10 kΩ to 100 kΩ.
