Product details
Overview
NXS0102GT115 from NXP Semiconductors is a 2-bit dual-supply auto-sensing bidirectional voltage-level translating transceiver with open-drain I/O, supporting 1.65 V–3.6 V on side A and 2.3 V–5.5 V on side B. It enables seamless interfacing between 1.8 V/2.5 V/3.3 V and 5.0 V domains in I²C/SMBus systems without external direction control. Its IOFF circuitry ensures partial power-down protection and backflow current prevention during supply sequencing.
For engineers reviewing the NXS0102GT115 datasheet, NXS0102GT115 pinout, NXS0102GT115 application, or NXS0102GT115 equivalent, key selection criteria include its auto-direction sensing capability, 50 Mbps push-pull data rate, −40 °C to +125 °C operating range, integrated 10 kΩ internal pull-ups per port, and XSON8 (SOT833-1) 1.0 × 1.95 × 0.5 mm package with 8 terminals.
Technical Context
The NXS0102GT115 implements a switch-type architecture using an N-channel pass-gate transistor and output edge-rate accelerator circuitry. Direction detection is fully autonomous-no external DIR signal required-and rising-edge acceleration occurs via PMOS bypass transistors triggered at ~VCCI/2, reducing tTLH to as low as 1.8 ns (B port, 5.0 V).
Its IOFF functionality disables outputs when either VCC(A) or VCC(B) drops to GND, preventing destructive backflow currents. Internal 10 kΩ pull-up resistors on both A and B ports are disabled when OE = LOW, and the device tolerates input voltages up to 5.5 V regardless of supply state.
Key Specifications

|---|---|
| Supply Range A | 1.65 V to 3.6 V - supports 1.8 V and 3.3 V logic domains; must be ≤ VCC(B) |
| Supply Range B | 2.3 V to 5.5 V - compatible with 2.5 V, 3.3 V, and 5.0 V systems |
| Data Rate | 50 Mbps - maximum push-pull throughput under recommended conditions |
| Operating Temp | −40 °C to +125 °C - qualified for automotive and industrial environments |
| ESD Robustness | HBM Class 3B > 8000 V (B port), Class 2 > 2500 V (A port) - reduces system-level ESD hardening needs |
| IOFF Leakage | ±1 μA max (A/B port, VCC = 0 V) - prevents damaging current flow during partial power-down |
| Propagation Delay | A→B: 2.4–7.3 ns (varies with VCC/A/B); B→A: 0.7–5.9 ns - enables high-speed inter-domain signaling |
Pinout & Package
Package: XSON8 (SOT833-1), plastic extremely thin small outline package, no leads, 8 terminals, body dimensions 1.0 mm × 1.95 mm × 0.5 mm.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|

| VCC(B) | High-side supply pin | Enables translation up to 5.5 V; powers B-port logic and pull-ups |
| OE | Active-HIGH output enable | Drives all I/Os into high-impedance OFF-state when LOW; referenced to VCC(A) |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bidirectional voltage translation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TXS0102DCUR | TI part; same 2-bit auto-direction function but rated only to +85 °C; no IOFF; requires external pull-ups | Limited to commercial-temperature applications; lacks partial power-down safety for automotive use | Choose NXS0102GT115 for extended temperature or IOFF-critical designs; TXS0102DCUR where cost and footprint are primary |
| PCA9306DCUR | TI part; 2-bit I²C-only translator; fixed 1.2–3.6 V / 1.8–5.5 V ranges; no OE pin; no IOFF | Not suitable for general-purpose GPIO or UART; lacks enable control and power-down protection | Select NXS0102GT115 when OE control, wider voltage flexibility, or IOFF is required; PCA9306DCUR only for dedicated I²C links |

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable voltage difference between VCC(A) and VCC(B) for reliable operation of the NXS0102GT115?
The NXS0102GT115 requires VCC(A) ≤ VCC(B) during normal operation. While VCC(A) may exceed VCC(B) during power-up without damage, sustained operation with VCC(A) > VCC(B) violates the absolute maximum rating and risks functional failure. The valid operating window is VCC(A) = 1.65–3.6 V and VCC(B) = 2.3–5.5 V, with VCC(B) always ≥ VCC(A). This constraint ensures proper gate-biasing of the internal pass transistor and prevents shoot-through.
Does the NXS0102GT115 support true push-pull driving on both sides, or is it limited to open-drain configurations?
The NXS0102GT115 supports both open-drain and push-pull drivers on either side. Its architecture uses a pass-gate switch and edge-accelerator circuit that functions correctly with either driver type. However, the datasheet specifies 50 Mbps maximum data rate only for push-pull operation; open-drain performance depends on external pull-up strength and load capacitance. For I²C, the internal 10 kΩ pull-ups are sufficient for standard-mode speeds.
How does the IOFF feature of the NXS0102GT115 behave when only VCC(A) is powered and VCC(B) is at 0 V?
When VCC(B) = 0 V and VCC(A) is active, the NXS0102GT115 enters partial power-down mode: the B-side outputs are disabled, and IOFF circuitry limits leakage current to ±1 μA maximum. This prevents backflow current from VCC(A) into the unpowered B-side rail. The A-side I/Os remain functional but cannot drive the B-side lines-ensuring safe operation during asymmetric power sequencing common in modular systems.
Can the NXS0102GT115 be used to translate between 1.2 V and 3.3 V logic domains?
No-the NXS0102GT115 does not support 1.2 V operation. Its minimum VCC(A) is 1.65 V, making it incompatible with 1.2 V I/O standards. Attempting to operate below 1.65 V risks undefined behavior, excessive propagation delay, and potential failure to meet VOL/VOH thresholds. For 1.2 V interfaces, NXP's NXSA102 or alternative families with lower VCC(A) minima must be selected.
What is the purpose of the "one-shot" circuit in the NXS0102GT115, and how does it affect signal integrity?
The one-shot circuit in the NXS0102GT115 detects rising edges at ~VCCI/2 and activates PMOS bypass transistors for ~50 ns to accelerate output transitions. This reduces tTLH by up to 50%, enabling 50 Mbps operation. However, if PCB trace capacitance exceeds ~30 pF or reflections occur within the 50 ns window, re-triggering may cause overshoot or oscillation. Proper layout-short traces, controlled impedance, and minimal stubs-is essential to maintain signal integrity.
