Product details
Overview
NVT2006PW,118 from NXP Semiconductors is a 6-bit bidirectional voltage-level translator IC for open-drain and push-pull applications, operating between 1.0 V–3.6 V (Vref(A)) and 1.8 V–5.5 V (Vref(B)), with ≤1.5 ns max propagation delay, 3.5 Ω typical ON-state resistance, and 5 V-tolerant I/Os. It enables seamless level translation in mixed-voltage I²C, SMBus, and GPIO interfaces without direction control.
For engineers reviewing the NVT2006PW,118 datasheet, NVT2006PW,118 pinout, NVT2006PW,118 application, or NVT2006PW,118 equivalent, this device supports high-speed (<33 MHz) bidirectional translation across 1.0 V–5.0 V domains, delivers low-signal-distortion switching via symmetrical Ron, and integrates ESD protection exceeding 3.5 kV HBM - critical for robust inter-processor and peripheral interfacing.
Technical Context
The NVT2006PW,118 uses a passive clamp-based architecture where An/Bn ports are connected through low-Ron MOSFET switches controlled by Vref(A) and Vref(B). When either port is LOW, the internal switch turns ON, establishing a low-impedance path; when HIGH, voltage clamping limits An to Vref(A) and pulls Bn to Vpu(D) via external pull-ups.
Enable logic is referenced to Vref(B), requiring EN ≥ Vref(A)+0.6 V for reliable operation. The device achieves lock-up free behavior due to symmetrical fabrication and provides identical electrical characteristics across all six channels - eliminating skew and ensuring matched timing between A1–A6 and B1–B6 pairs.
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 ≥1 V below Vref(B) for stable clamping |
| Vref(B) Range | 1.8 V to 5.5 V - defines high-voltage domain; powers EN input and regulates B-side pull-up voltage |
| Max Propagation Delay | ≤1.5 ns - ensures sub-ns timing integrity for high-speed I²C and GPIO translation up to 33 MHz |
| ON-State Resistance | 3.5 Ω typical - minimizes voltage drop and signal distortion during bidirectional data flow |
| I/O Voltage Tolerance | 5 V tolerant - allows direct connection to 5 V buses while powered from lower Vref(A) supplies |
| ESD Protection | 3.5 kV HBM, 1000 V CDM - protects downstream 1.0–1.8 V logic from system-level ESD events |
| Operating Temperature | −40 °C to +85 °C - qualified for industrial and automotive under-hood peripheral interfacing |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP16 package (SOT403-1), plastic thin shrink small outline, 16 leads, body width 4.4 mm, 0.65 mm pitch.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 GND | Ground reference | Common 0 V return for both voltage domains; must be low-impedance and decoupled |
| 2 EN | Enable input | Active-HIGH enable referenced to Vref(B); must be pulled HIGH via resistor to Vref(B) for translation |
| 3 VREFA | Low-voltage reference supply | Connects to core logic supply (e.g., 1.2 V/1.8 V CPU I/O); sets clamp threshold for An pins |
| 4 VREFB | High-voltage reference supply | Supplies EN logic and defines Bn output swing; must be ≥ VreFA + 1 V for optimal operation |
| 5–10 A1–A6 | Low-voltage side I/Os | Bidirectional ports tied to Vref(A) domain; each connects internally to corresponding Bn via switch |
| 11–16 B1–B6 | High-voltage side I/Os | Bidirectional ports tied to Vref(B) domain; require external pull-up resistors to Vpu(D) |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No direction pin required | Enables true bidirectional data flow on shared lines (e.g., I²C SDA/SCL) without control logic overhead |
| Flow-through pinout | A1–A6 and B1–B6 arranged in interleaved sequence (A1/B1/A2/B2/...) simplifying PCB trace routing and minimizing crosstalk |
| High-impedance disable state | EN = LOW places all An/Bn pins in Hi-Z, isolating voltage domains during power sequencing or fault conditions |
| Symmetrical channel matching | ≤0.1 ns inter-channel skew and matched Ron ensure deterministic timing across all 6 bit lanes |
| Mixed-mode I/O tolerance | 5 V-tolerant B-side pins operate safely with 3.3 V or 5 V pull-ups while A-side runs from 1.0–1.8 V supplies |
Applications
| I²C Bus Level Translation | Multi-Voltage GPIO Interfacing |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Connecting a 1.8 V microcontroller I²C controller to a 3.3 V sensor node over shared SDA/SCL lines. IC Role / Device Role: Bidirectional voltage translator enabling protocol-compliant communication without direction control or bus contention.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bidirectional voltage translation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| PCA9306DCUR | 2-bit translator; 1.2 V–3.3 V Vref(A), 1.8 V–5.5 V Vref(B); 6.5 Ω typical Ron; no EN pin | Lacks enable control and has fewer channels; suited for compact dual-line I²C extension only | Select PCA9306DCUR when only two bidirectional lines are needed and EN functionality is unnecessary |
| NVT2006BQ,115 | Same 6-bit function and specs; DHVQFN16 package (2.5 × 3.5 mm, 0.85 mm height) vs. TSSOP16 (5.0 × 4.4 mm) | Smaller footprint and better thermal performance; requires different PCB layout and reflow profile | Select NVT2006BQ,115 for space-constrained or thermally demanding designs where QFN assembly is supported |
Compared with PCA9306DCUR and NVT2006BQ,115, the NVT2006PW,118 offers full 6-channel translation in a standard TSSOP package with integrated enable control - making it optimal for industrial GPIO expansion and multi-peripheral I²C systems requiring layout compatibility and power sequencing safety.

FAQ
What voltage ranges does the NVT2006PW,118 support for level translation?
The NVT2006PW,118 supports Vref(A) from 1.0 V to 3.6 V and Vref(B) from 1.8 V to 5.5 V. For reliable operation, Vref(B) must be at least 1 V higher than Vref(A). Valid combinations include 1.2 V ↔ 3.3 V, 1.8 V ↔ 5.0 V, and 2.5 V ↔ 5.0 V - all verified in the official NXP datasheet Rev. 5.1.
Does the NVT2006PW,118 require external pull-up resistors?
Yes, the NVT2006PW,118 requires external pull-up resistors on both A-side and B-side I/Os for open-drain operation. Typical values range from 750 Ω to 1.82 kΩ depending on drive strength and voltage pair - e.g., 1.0 V ↔ 3.3 V uses Rpu(B) = 1.18 kΩ at 3 mA sink current. Pull-ups are mandatory for proper HIGH-level assertion on Bn pins.
Can the NVT2006PW,118 be used with push-pull drivers?
Yes, the NVT2006PW,118 supports push-pull drivers on either side, but unidirectional data flow or 3-state control is required to avoid contention. When both sides use totem-pole outputs, direction control must prevent simultaneous HIGH-to-LOW conflicts - confirmed in Section 7.2 of the NVT2003/06 datasheet.
What is the maximum operating frequency of the NVT2006PW,118?
The NVT2006PW,118 supports up to 33 MHz in open-drain systems with 50 pF load and 197 Ω pull-up. Maximum frequency depends on total node capacitance and pull-up value - rise/fall times are dominated by RPU × CL. For 100 pF loads, practical operation remains stable up to ~15 MHz with optimized layout.
Is the NVT2006PW,118 pin-compatible with other NVT2006 variants?
The NVT2006PW,118 (TSSOP16) shares identical pin functions with NVT2006BQ,115 (DHVQFN16) and NVT2006BS,118 (HVQFN16), but physical pinouts differ due to package geometry. Signal mapping (A1/B1…A6/B6, EN, VREFA, VREFB, GND) is consistent across all three packages per Table 3 in the datasheet.
