Product details
Overview
SN74AVC1T45 from Texas Instruments is a single-bit dual-supply bus transceiver enabling bidirectional voltage translation between 1.2V, 1.5V, 1.8V, 2.5V, and 3.3V logic domains. It features independent VCCA (1.2–3.6V) and VCCB (1.2–3.6V) rails, ±12mA drive at 3.3V, 4.6V I/O tolerance, and VCC isolation for robust power sequencing - deployed in low-voltage interconnects between SoCs and peripherals.
For engineers reviewing the SN74AVC1T45 datasheet, SN74AVC1T45 pinout, SN74AVC1T45 application, or SN74AVC1T45 equivalent, key selection criteria include configurable dual-rail operation, Ioff partial-power-down support, DIR-controlled directionality, high-speed translation up to 500Mbps (1.8V→3.3V), and NanoFree™ SOT-23 package compatibility with space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The SN74AVC1T45 implements a noninverting, dual-supply architecture where A-port logic levels track VCCA and B-port levels track VCCB. Direction control (DIR) is referenced solely to VCCA, ensuring deterministic switching regardless of VCCB state.
Its VCC isolation function forces both ports into high-impedance when either VCCA or VCCB = GND, preventing backdrive during power-up/down sequences. The Ioff circuitry disables outputs during partial power-down, blocking damaging current flow between powered and unpowered system domains.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCCA / VCCB Range | 1.2V to 3.6V each - enables universal translation across 1.2V/1.5V/1.8V/2.5V/3.3V nodes without external level-shifters |
| Max Data Rate | 500Mbps (1.8V→3.3V) - supports high-speed interfaces like UART, I²C, SPI, and GPIO expansion in portable electronics |
| I/O Voltage Tolerance | 4.6V - allows safe interfacing with legacy 3.3V or 5V systems without clamping diodes or resistors |
| Output Drive | ±12mA at 3.3V - sufficient to drive 50Ω transmission lines or multiple CMOS loads with controlled edge rates |
| Propagation Delay | 2.8ns (A→B, VCCA=3.3V, VCCB=3.3V) - ensures timing-critical bidirectional data paths meet sub-5ns budget constraints |
| ESD Protection | ±2000V HBM - meets industrial-grade ESD immunity requirements for handheld and enterprise equipment |
| Ioff Current | ±0.1µA max - guarantees negligible leakage during partial power-down, preserving battery life in always-on subsystems |
Pinout & Package
SN74AVC1T45DBVRE4 uses the DBV (SOT-23-6) package: 2.9mm × 2.8mm footprint, 6-pin surface-mount, lead-free and RoHS-compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VCCA | A-port supply rail | Power source for A-port I/O and DIR input - must be stable before asserting DIR or A signals |
| GND | Ground reference | Common return path for both supply rails; requires low-inductance connection to minimize ground bounce |
| A | Bidirectional I/O (A side) | Signal terminal referenced to VCCA; accepts 1.2–3.6V logic; tolerant to 4.6V inputs |
| B | Bidirectional I/O (B side) | Signal terminal referenced to VCCB; accepts 1.2–3.6V logic; tolerant to 4.6V inputs |
| DIR | Direction control input | Logic-level signal referenced to VCCA only - high enables A→B, low enables B→A |
| VCCB | B-port supply rail | Power source for B-port I/O - independent of VCCA, enabling asymmetric voltage translation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual-rail voltage translation | Independent 1.2–3.6V operation on VCCA and VCCB enables interoperability between mixed-voltage SoCs, FPGAs, and sensors |
| VCC isolation | Automatic high-Z on both ports if either VCCA or VCCB = GND - eliminates need for external power-good sequencing logic |
| Ioff partial-power-down | Blocks current backflow when one rail is unpowered - critical for hot-swap and battery-backed subsystems |
| NanoFree™ packaging | Dies-as-package construction reduces parasitic inductance and thermal resistance - improves signal integrity and power efficiency |
| 4.6V I/O tolerance | Allows direct connection to 3.3V or 5V buses without external protection - simplifies BOM and layout |

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC1T45DBVR | Lower max VCC range (1.65–5.5V); no VCC isolation; 32mA drive at 3.3V | Not suitable for asymmetric 1.2V/3.3V translation or partial-power-down systems | Select when higher drive strength is needed and both rails operate ≥1.65V |

FAQ
What is the minimum operating voltage for SN74AVC1T45DBVRE4 on each supply rail?
The SN74AVC1T45DBVRE4 supports VCCA and VCCB down to 1.2V independently. This 1.2V minimum enables direct interfacing with advanced ultra-low-power microcontrollers and memory devices that operate at sub-1.5V logic thresholds, unlike older LVC-family translators limited to 1.65V.
How does the VCC isolation feature work in SN74AVC1T45DBVRE4?
The VCC isolation feature in SN74AVC1T45DBVRE4 forces both A and B ports into high-impedance when either VCCA or VCCB is at GND. This prevents back-driving between powered and unpowered domains during power-up/down sequences - a critical safeguard in systems with staggered rail sequencing.
Can SN74AVC1T45DBVRE4 translate between 1.2V and 3.3V in both directions?
Yes, SN74AVC1T45DBVRE4 supports bidirectional translation between 1.2V and 3.3V. When VCCA = 1.2V and VCCB = 3.3V, it translates B→A at 240Mbps; when VCCA = 3.3V and VCCB = 1.2V, it translates A→B at the same rate - confirmed in Section 5.10 of the official datasheet.
What is the role of the DIR pin in SN74AVC1T45DBVRE4, and how is it powered?
The DIR pin in SN74AVC1T45DBVRE4 controls data direction: high enables A→B, low enables B→A. Critically, DIR is powered exclusively by VCCA - not VCCB - ensuring reliable direction control even when VCCB is unpowered or unstable during system boot.
Does SN74AVC1T45DBVRE4 support partial-power-down mode, and how is it implemented?
Yes, SN74AVC1T45DBVRE4 supports partial-power-down via its Ioff circuitry. When either VCCA or VCCB is at 0V, the Ioff feature disables all I/O outputs, limiting leakage current to ±0.1µA - protecting downstream components and preserving battery charge in always-on subsystems.
