Product details
Overview
NTS0104PW,118 from NXP Semiconductors is a 4-bit dual-supply auto-sensing bidirectional voltage-level translating transceiver in TSSOP14 package, supporting 1.65–3.6 V on side A and 2.3–5.5 V on side B, with 50 Mbps push-pull data rate, IOFF partial power-down, and open-drain compatible architecture for I²C/SMBus interconnects between mixed-voltage systems.
For engineers reviewing the NTS0104PW,118 datasheet, NTS0104PW,118 pinout, NTS0104PW,118 application, or NTS0104PW,118 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, thermal range (−40 °C to +125 °C), ESD robustness (8 kV HBM on B port), real-world timing behavior, and validated alternative options for voltage translation design-in.
Technical Context
The NTS0104PW,118 implements a pass-gate transistor architecture with integrated edge-rate acceleration circuitry-detecting input transitions at ~VCCI/2 and enabling PMOS bypass for <7 ns output rise/fall times. It requires no external direction control signal and operates as a transparent switch between A and B ports.
Its IOFF circuitry actively disables outputs during power-down, blocking backflow current when either VCC(A) or VCC(B) is at GND. Internal 10 kΩ pull-ups per I/O (A to VCC(A), B to VCC(B)) support open-drain bus operation without external resistors.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC(A) Range | 1.65 V to 3.6 V - enables direct interface with 1.8 V or 2.5 V logic domains |
| VCC(B) Range | 2.3 V to 5.5 V - supports connection to 3.3 V or 5.0 V microcontrollers, sensors, or peripherals |
| Max Data Rate | 50 Mbps - sufficient for high-speed I²C Fast Mode Plus (1 Mbps) and UART up to 25 Mbps |
| Operating Temp | −40 °C to +125 °C - qualified for automotive under-hood and industrial control environments |
| ESD Robustness | 8 kV HBM (JESD22-A114E Class 3B) on B port - reduces need for external protection in noisy systems |
| IOFF Leakage | ±1 µA max at 125 °C - ensures safe isolation during hot-swap or partial system shutdown |
| Propagation Delay | ≤7.3 ns (A→B, 1.8 V→5.0 V, −40 °C to +125 °C) - preserves signal integrity in timing-critical links |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP14 (SOT402-1) package: plastic thin shrink small outline, 14-lead, 4.4 mm body width, 0.65 mm pitch, exposed pad not electrically connected.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VCC(A) | Supply for A-side I/O and OE | Reference for A1–A4 and OE inputs; must be ≤ VCC(B) during steady-state operation |
| A1–A4 | Bidirectional data I/O (A side) | Referenced to VCC(A); include internal 10 kΩ pull-up to VCC(A); accept up to 5.5 V |
| GND | Ground reference | Common return path for both supply domains; required for proper IOFF and ESD performance |
| OE | Output enable (active HIGH) | Referenced to VCC(A); LOW forces all I/O into high-impedance state; tdis = 45 ns max at 125 °C |
| B1–B4 | Bidirectional data I/O (B side) | Referenced to VCC(B); include internal 10 kΩ pull-up to VCC(B); tolerate up to 5.5 V |
| VCC(B) | Supply for B-side I/O | Reference for B1–B4; enables translation to 5 V systems while A side runs at 1.8 V |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Auto-direction sensing | Eliminates need for external direction-control logic or GPIO, reducing PCB routing and firmware overhead |
| IOFF partial power-down | Prevents damaging back-current when one supply is off-critical for hot-pluggable modules and battery-backed subsystems |
| Integrated 10 kΩ pull-ups | Removes requirement for four external resistors on each side, saving board space and BOM cost in I²C applications |
| 5.5 V-tolerant inputs | Allows direct connection of 5 V signals to A-side pins even when VCC(A) = 1.8 V, simplifying mixed-voltage debug interfaces |
| Edge-rate acceleration | Reduces tTLH/tTHL to <10 ns across voltage combinations, maintaining signal fidelity without external active drivers |
Applications
| I²C Bus Translation | UART Level Shifting |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage translation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TXS0104E | TI part with identical 4-bit auto-direction function but higher ICC (15 µA typical vs. 1.5 µA for NTS0104PW,118 at 2.5 V/3.3 V) | Same I²C/UART use cases; lacks 8 kV HBM on B port (only 4 kV) | Prefer NTS0104PW,118 where low quiescent current or enhanced ESD is critical |
| PCA9306 | NXP part with 2-channel architecture, no OE pin, and lower max VCC(B) (3.6 V vs. 5.5 V) | Limited to 1.8 V ↔ 3.3 V only; unsuitable for 5 V systems or OE-controlled isolation | Select NTS0104PW,118 when 5 V compatibility, OE control, or 4-channel density is required |
Compared with TXS0104E and PCA9306, the NTS0104PW,118 uniquely combines 5.5 V B-side tolerance, active OE control, ultra-low leakage (<1 µA), and industry-leading 8 kV HBM on B port-making it optimal for robust, high-density mixed-voltage interconnects in automotive and industrial designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable voltage difference between VCC(A) and VCC(B) for reliable operation of the NTS0104PW,118?
The NTS0104PW,118 requires VCC(A) ≤ VCC(B) during normal operation, with VCC(A) ranging from 1.65 V to 3.6 V and VCC(B) from 2.3 V to 5.5 V. The absolute maximum ratings allow both supplies up to +6.5 V, but functional translation is only guaranteed when VCC(A) does not exceed VCC(B). For example, 3.3 V on A and 5.0 V on B is valid; 5.0 V on A and 3.3 V on B is not supported.
Does the NTS0104PW,118 require external pull-up resistors for I²C operation?
No, the NTS0104PW,118 integrates 10 kΩ pull-up resistors on all A-side (to VCC(A)) and B-side (to VCC(B)) I/O pins. These eliminate the need for external pull-ups in standard I²C implementations. However, if faster rise times or stronger drive are needed, external parallel resistors may be added-but this will lower VOL and must be verified against sink-current limits.
How does the IOFF feature of the NTS0104PW,118 protect the system during partial power-down?
The IOFF circuitry in the NTS0104PW,118 actively disables all I/O paths when either VCC(A) or VCC(B) drops to GND, limiting leakage current to ±1 µA max at 125 °C. This prevents damaging back-current flow from a live supply domain into a powered-down subsystem-ensuring safe operation during hot-swap, sleep-mode transitions, or asymmetric power sequencing.
Can the NTS0104PW,118 be used with push-pull drivers, or is it limited to open-drain applications?
The NTS0104PW,118 supports both open-drain and push-pull drivers on either side. Its architecture functions as a passive switch with edge-acceleration, making it suitable for push-pull UART or GPIO translation. However, for high-speed push-pull applications beyond 25 Mbps, layout optimization (short traces, controlled impedance) is essential to avoid one-shot re-triggering due to reflections.
What is the significance of the 8 kV HBM ESD rating on the B port of the NTS0104PW,118?
The 8 kV HBM (JESD22-A114E Class 3B) rating on the B port of the NTS0104PW,118 means it can withstand electrostatic discharges up to 8 kV without damage or functional upset-exceeding standard IEC 61000-4-2 contact discharge requirements. This enables direct connection to connectors, cables, or external peripherals in industrial or automotive settings without additional ESD protection components.
