Product details
Overview
NXB0106PW-Q100 from Nexperia is a 6-bit dual-supply auto-sensing bidirectional voltage-level transceiver with independent A- and B-side supplies (VCC(A): 1.2–3.6 V; VCC(B): 1.65–5.5 V), 3-state output control via active-HIGH OE, and AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification for automotive use. It enables seamless interfacing between 1.2 V/1.5 V/1.8 V/2.5 V/3.3 V and 5.0 V domains without external direction control - e.g., connecting an ADAS camera sensor (1.8 V I/O) to a 3.3 V SoC host processor.
For engineers reviewing the NXB0106PW-Q100 datasheet, NXB0106PW-Q100 pinout, NXB0106PW-Q100 application, or NXB0106PW-Q100 equivalent, key selection criteria include its auto-direction sensing architecture, IOFF-enabled partial power-down capability, ±2 mA minimum input driver requirement, and TSSOP16 package with side-wettable flanks for AOI-compatible solder joint inspection.
Technical Context
The device implements edge-triggered one-shot circuits on both A and B ports to detect data flow direction dynamically - no external DIR signal required. Each channel uses complementary PMOS/NMOS transistor pairs (T1–T4) with short-duration acceleration pulses during transitions, yielding typical output impedances of 70 Ω (1.2–1.8 V), 50 Ω (1.8–3.3 V), or 40 Ω (3.3–5.0 V).
IOFF circuitry ensures safe partial power-down: when either VCC(A) or VCC(B) is at GND, outputs enter high-impedance state and backflow current is blocked. Input clamping diodes support up to 5.5 V inputs on both sides, and the OE pin is referenced solely to VCC(A), enabling robust enable control in mixed-rail systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC(A) Range | 1.2 V to 3.6 V - supports low-voltage logic domains including 1.2 V core rails and 1.8 V I/Os. |
| VCC(B) Range | 1.65 V to 5.5 V - enables translation to legacy 3.3 V and 5.0 V interfaces without level-shifter cascading. |
| Propagation Delay | 0.8–11.9 ns (A↔B) - guarantees sub-12 ns latency across full temp range (−40 °C to +125 °C) and supply combinations. |
| Data Rate | Up to 110 Mbps - sufficient for high-speed serial links like camera pixel data buses and sensor SPI interfaces. |
| ESD Protection | HBM: 2.5 kV (A port), 15 kV (B port); CDM: 1.5 kV - exceeds automotive system-level ESD requirements per ISO 10605. |
| IOFF Leakage | ±2 μA max (−40 °C to +125 °C) - prevents destructive back-current during asymmetric power sequencing in vehicle ECUs. |
| Operating Temp | −40 °C to +125 °C - qualified for under-hood and ADAS module environments per AEC-Q100 Grade 1. |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP16 package (SOT403-1), 4.4 mm body width, side-wettable flanks for automated optical inspection (AOI) of solder joints.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A1–A6 | Bi-directional data I/O (A-side) | Referenced to VCC(A); accept 0–5.5 V inputs; drive A-side loads up to 70 pF. |
| B1–B6 | Bi-directional data I/O (B-side) | Referenced to VCC(B); tolerate 0–5.5 V; support higher voltage domains including 5 V microcontrollers. |
| OE | Output enable (active HIGH) | Controlled by VCC(A); asserts high-impedance state on all A/B pins when LOW; requires pull-down for power-up safety. |
| VCC(A) | A-side supply rail | Must be ≤ VCC(B) during operation; powers internal logic and A-port drivers; supports 1.2–3.6 V. |
| VCC(B) | B-side supply rail | Independent of VCC(A); powers B-port drivers and sensing circuitry; supports 1.65–5.5 V. |
| GND | Common reference ground | Single ground connection shared by both sides; essential for noise margin and ESD path integrity. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Auto-direction sensing | Eliminates need for external DIR control line - reduces PCB routing complexity and firmware overhead in bidirectional buses. |
| IOFF partial power-down | Blocks damaging back-current when one supply is off - enables hot-swap capability and safe power sequencing in multi-rail automotive modules. |
| Dual independent supply rails | Enables simultaneous interface to disparate voltage domains (e.g., 1.8 V camera sensor ↔ 5 V CAN transceiver) without intermediate regulators. |
| Side-wettable flanks (TSSOP16) | Supports automated optical inspection of solder fillets - improves manufacturing yield and field reliability in automotive production lines. |
| AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification | Validated for −40 °C to +125 °C operation - meets functional safety requirements for ASIL-B compliant ADAS and body control units. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bidirectional voltage translation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| NXB0106BQ-Q100 | DHVQFN16 package (2.5 × 3.5 × 0.85 mm); same electrical specs; enhanced thermal performance (11.2 mW/K derating above 106 °C). | Better suited for space-constrained, thermally dense modules (e.g., radar front-end) where TSSOP16 footprint is prohibitive. | Select BQ for high-power-density automotive modules requiring >100 mW continuous dissipation at +125 °C ambient. |
| NXS0106-Q100 | Open-drain architecture; supports I²C, SMBus, 1-Wire; lacks auto-direction sensing; requires external pull-ups. | Designed specifically for open-collector bus protocols - not interchangeable for push-pull applications like SPI or parallel data buses. | Choose NXS0106-Q100 only for I²C sensor networks; avoid for any application requiring push-pull drive strength or auto-direction capability. |
Compared with NXB0106BQ-Q100, the PW variant offers easier AOI inspection and lower assembly cost in mid-volume production; versus NXS0106-Q100, it delivers true bidirectional push-pull translation without protocol dependency - making it the sole fit for high-speed, non-I²C automotive data paths.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable voltage difference between VCC(A) and VCC(B)?
VCC(A) must never exceed VCC(B) during normal operation per datasheet Section 8 - violation risks latch-up or permanent damage. However, during power-up, VCC(A) ≥ VCC(B) is permitted and causes no harm due to built-in sequencing tolerance. The absolute maximum ratings allow both supplies up to +6.5 V independently, but functional operation requires VCC(A) ≤ VCC(B).
Can NXB0106PW-Q100 be used in I²C applications?
No - the NXB0106PW-Q100 is a push-pull transceiver with auto-direction sensing and is unsuitable for open-drain buses like I²C. Its outputs actively drive HIGH, causing bus contention. Nexperia explicitly recommends the NXS0106-Q100 for I²C/SMBus, which features open-drain outputs and integrated weak pull-ups compatible with standard bus protocols.
How does the IOFF circuit prevent back-current during partial power-down?
The IOFF circuit monitors both VCC(A) and VCC(B). If either supply drops to GND, internal switches disconnect all I/O paths and force outputs into high-impedance state. This blocks current flow from the powered side into the unpowered side - verified by ≤±2 μA leakage (−40 °C to +125 °C) and compliance with JESD78B Class II latch-up immunity (>100 mA).
Is a pull-down resistor required on the OE pin?
Yes - a pull-down resistor on OE is mandatory for safe power-up behavior. Without it, OE floats during startup, risking undefined output states that could cause bus contention. The datasheet specifies using a resistor tied to GND; minimum value depends on the driving source's current-sourcing capability but typically ranges from 10 kΩ to 100 kΩ to ensure reliable LOW assertion before VCC(A) stabilizes.
