Product details
Overview
NVT2002GD,125 from NXP Semiconductors is a 2-bit bidirectional voltage level translator IC for open-drain and push-pull applications, supporting VREF(A) from 1.0 V to 3.6 V and VREF(B) from 1.8 V to 5.5 V, with ≤1.5 ns max propagation delay, 3.5 Ω typical ON-state resistance, and operation across –40 °C to +105 °C - used in I²C bus interfacing between 1.8 V microcontrollers and 3.3 V peripherals.
For engineers reviewing the NVT2002GD,125 datasheet, NVT2002GD,125 pinout, NVT2002GD,125 application, or NVT2002GD,125 equivalent, key selection criteria include bidirectional translation without direction control, 5 V-tolerant I/Os, flow-through pinout for PCB routing, ESD robustness (4 kV HBM), and compatibility with mixed-voltage SoC-to-peripheral interconnects in industrial and embedded systems.
Technical Context
The NVT2002GD,125 implements a passive MOSFET-based clamping architecture that enables automatic bidirectional level shifting: when either An or Bn is LOW, the internal switch conducts with low RON, establishing a low-impedance path; when HIGH, the port is pulled via external resistors to its respective supply rail (VPU(D) on B-side, VREF(A) on A-side).
Its EN input is referenced to VREF(B), requiring VREF(B) ≥ VREF(A) + 1 V for reliable enable/disable control; the device enters high-impedance state when EN is LOW, and supports transmission speeds <33 MHz under 50 pF load with 197 Ω pull-up - validated for both open-drain (e.g., I²C) and push-pull configurations.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VREF(A) Range | 1.0 V to 3.6 V - sets low-voltage domain reference; must be at least 1 V below VREF(B) for stable operation |
| VREF(B) Range | 1.8 V to 5.5 V - defines high-voltage domain; powers EN input and determines B-side pull-up voltage |
| Max Propagation Delay | ≤1.5 ns - ensures timing integrity in high-speed digital interfaces like I²C up to 1 MHz with margin |
| RON (Typical) | 3.5 Ω - minimizes signal distortion and voltage drop during bidirectional conduction |
| ESD Protection | 4 kV HBM (JESD22-A114), 1000 V CDM (JESD22-C101) - protects downstream 1.0–1.8 V logic from system-level transients |
| Operating Temp | –40 °C to +105 °C - qualified for industrial and automotive under-hood peripheral interfacing |
| I/O Voltage Tolerance | 5 V tolerant on all pins - allows direct connection to 5 V buses without external protection |
Pinout & Package
XSON8U package: plastic extremely thin small outline, no leads, 8-terminal UTLP-based body measuring 3 × 2 × 0.5 mm (SOT996-2); thermally enhanced for compact high-density layouts; no center thermal pad.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GND | Ground reference | Common 0 V return for both domains; must be low-impedance and decoupled near device |
| VREF(A) | Low-voltage side supply | Bias reference for A-side I/Os; sets maximum output voltage on A1/A2 ports |
| A1, A2 | Low-voltage data I/Os | Bidirectional ports connected to 1.0–3.6 V logic; require external pull-up to VREF(A) in open-drain mode |
| EN | Enable control input | Active-HIGH enable referenced to VREF(B); must be pulled HIGH via resistor to VREF(B) for operation |
| VREF(B) | High-voltage side supply | Bias reference for B-side I/Os and EN input; sets B1/B2 output ceiling and enables translation |
| B1, B2 | High-voltage data I/Os | Bidirectional ports connected to 1.8–5.5 V logic; require external pull-up to VPU(D) (typically VREF(B)) |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No direction pin required | Enables true bidirectional translation in I²C, SMBus, and GPIO expansion without control logic overhead |
| Flow-through pinout | Minimizes PCB trace crossovers and reduces layout complexity in dense MCU-peripheral interconnects |
| 5 V-tolerant I/Os | Allows direct interface to legacy 5 V peripherals without level-shifting buffers or series resistors |
| Lock-up free operation | Guarantees stable state transitions under voltage sequencing mismatches common in multi-rail power-up |
| High-impedance disable | EN = LOW places all I/Os in Hi-Z, enabling bus sharing and hot-swap isolation in modular systems |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bidirectional voltage translation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| NVT2002TLH | HXSON8 package with center thermal pad (non-electrical); identical electrical specs and pinout except pad placement | Thermal performance improved in high-power density layouts; requires evaluation if GD footprint has traces under center area | Select TLH for new designs needing better thermal dissipation; GD remains valid where space or cost constraints favor XSON8U |
| PCA9306DCUR | 2-bit translator with separate DIR pin; higher RON (~10 Ω), slower propagation (~2.5 ns), and narrower VREF range (1.2–3.3 V / 1.8–5.5 V) | Requires direction control logic; less suitable for pure open-drain I²C but offers configurable unidirectional modes | Choose PCA9306 only if directional control is already present or if lower cost outweighs performance trade-offs |
Compared with NVT2002GD,125, the NVT2002TLH offers identical functionality with enhanced thermal capability in a mechanically compatible footprint, while the PCA9306DCUR provides direction-controlled translation at lower performance and reduced voltage flexibility - making NVT2002GD,125 optimal for cost-sensitive, high-speed, directionless I²C and GPIO bridging.

FAQ
What is the recommended VREF(B) to VREF(A) voltage differential for reliable operation of the NVT2002GD,125?
The NVT2002GD,125 requires VREF(B) to be at least 1 V higher than VREF(A) for stable translator behavior and proper EN activation. For example, pairing VREF(A) = 1.8 V with VREF(B) = 3.3 V meets this requirement and is commonly used in I²C applications. Operating outside this margin may cause incomplete switching or increased propagation delay in the NVT2002GD,125.
Can the NVT2002GD,125 be used with push-pull drivers, and what design considerations apply?
Yes, the NVT2002GD,125 supports push-pull drivers on both A and B sides, but outputs must be 3-stateable or direction-controlled to prevent contention. Unlike open-drain use, push-pull operation requires external logic to ensure only one side drives HIGH at a time. The NVT2002GD,125 itself does not provide direction arbitration - it relies on system-level control to avoid bus conflicts.
Does the NVT2002GD,125 require external pull-up resistors, and how are their values selected?
Yes, the NVT2002GD,125 requires external pull-up resistors on both A and B sides for open-drain operation. Values depend on driver sink current, bus capacitance, and target speed - e.g., 750 Ω for 1.0 V ↔ 1.8 V at 3 mA drive. Table 6 in the NXP datasheet provides minimum RPU guidance. The NVT2002GD,125's low RON allows stronger pull-ups without excessive voltage drop.
Is the NVT2002GD,125 pin-compatible with other packages in the NVT2002 family, such as the TSSOP8 or HXSON8 variants?
The NVT2002GD,125 (XSON8U) shares identical pin functions and ordering with NVT2002DP (TSSOP8) and NVT2002TLH (HXSON8), but physical pin spacing and package dimensions differ. While signal mapping is consistent, PCB footprints are not interchangeable - the NVT2002GD,125 uses a 0.5 mm pitch 3×2 mm body without thermal pad, unlike the TLH's center pad or DP's gull-wing leads.
What is the maximum capacitive load the NVT2002GD,125 can drive while maintaining <33 MHz operation?
The NVT2002GD,125 supports <33 MHz operation with a total node capacitance of ≤50 pF and 197 Ω pull-up resistors, per datasheet characterization. This includes PCB trace capacitance, device I/O capacitance (~9.3 pF on-state), and probe/jig contributions. Exceeding 50 pF increases RC-limited rise/fall times, reducing usable frequency - so layout optimization is essential for high-speed use of the NVT2002GD,125.
