Product details
Overview
SN74AVC1T45 from Texas Instruments is a single-bit dual-supply bus transceiver enabling bidirectional voltage-level translation between 1.2V, 1.5V, 1.8V, 2.5V, and 3.3V 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 500Mbps max data rate (1.8V→3.3V). It serves in low-voltage interconnects between SoCs and peripherals in space-constrained portable electronics.
For engineers reviewing the SN74AVC1T45 datasheet, SN74AVC1T45 pinout, SN74AVC1T45 application, or SN74AVC1T45 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, NanoFree™ SOT-SC70 package details, DIR-controlled direction logic, VCC isolation behavior, and real-world level-shifting use cases - all grounded in TI's SCES530L production datasheet (Jan 2026 revision).
Technical Context
The SN74AVC1T45 implements a noninverting, dual-rail translation 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.
VCC isolation forces both ports into high-impedance when either VCCA or VCCB = GND; Ioff circuitry disables outputs during partial power-down to prevent backflow current. Propagation delays range from 2.4ns (A→B, VCCA=1.2V/VCCB=3.3V) to 6.9ns (DIR→A, VCCA=1.5V/VCCB=1.2V), with enable/disable times derived from cascaded delay paths per TI's published formulas.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCCA / VCCB Range | 1.2V to 3.6V each - enables universal translation across 1.2/1.5/1.8/2.5/3.3V nodes without external biasing |
| Max Data Rate | 500Mbps (1.8V→3.3V) - supports high-speed interfaces like SDIO, eMMC, or low-latency sensor links |
| I/O Voltage Tolerance | 4.6V - allows safe interfacing with legacy 3.3V or 5V systems without clamping diodes |
| Output Drive | ±12mA at 3.3V - sufficient to drive 50Ω transmission lines or multiple CMOS loads |
| VCC Isolation | Active when either VCCA or VCCB = GND - prevents bus contention during power sequencing |
| Ioff Support | Enables partial-power-down mode - blocks damaging back-current when one rail is unpowered |
| ESD Rating | ±2000V HBM - meets industrial handling requirements without additional protection circuitry |
Pinout & Package
SN74AVC1T45 is packaged in the Texas Instruments NanoFree™ DCK (SOT-SC70, 6-pin) package - die-as-package construction measuring 2.0mm × 2.1mm, optimized for ultra-small PCB footprints in portable devices.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VCCA | A-port supply rail | Power reference for A I/O and DIR input; sets VIH/VIL thresholds for control signals |
| GND | Ground reference | Common return path for both supply domains; required for stable noise margin |
| A | Bidirectional I/O (A side) | Signal terminal referenced to VCCA; functions as input or output depending on DIR state |
| B | Bidirectional I/O (B side) | Signal terminal referenced to VCCB; mirrors A functionality with independent voltage domain |
| DIR | Direction control input | Logic-high enables A→B transmission; logic-low enables B→A; referenced only to VCCA |
| VCCB | B-port supply rail | Power reference for B I/O; independent of VCCA, enabling asymmetric voltage translation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual-rail configurability | Independent 1.2–3.6V operation on VCCA and VCCB enables any-to-any low-voltage translation without redesign |
| VCC isolation | Automatic high-Z on both ports if either VCCA or VCCB is grounded - eliminates need for external power-good sequencing logic |
| NanoFree™ packaging | DCK (SOT-SC70) footprint (2.0×2.1mm) reduces board area by >50% vs. standard SOT-23 while maintaining thermal performance |
| Ioff partial-power-down | Sub-µA leakage (<±0.1µA) when unpowered - preserves system-level power integrity in battery-critical applications |
| 4.6V-tolerant I/Os | Allows direct connection to 3.3V buses even when VCCA/VCCB = 1.2V - removes level-shifter cascading in mixed-voltage systems |
Applications
| Mobile Processor Interfacing | Industrial Sensor Hub |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Connecting a 1.2V application processor I/O bank to a 3.3V UART peripheral in a handheld medical device. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional voltage translator managing signal flow direction via processor-controlled DIR line; propagation delay ≤2.8ns ensures timing compliance at 25MHz UART. Use Value: Eliminates discrete resistor-divider or active translator solutions, reducing BOM count and layout complexity while supporting hot-plug-safe power sequencing. | Use Scenario: Interfacing a 1.8V microcontroller to multiple 2.5V analog sensor ICs in a factory-floor environmental monitor.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage translation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC1T45DBVR | Single-supply (1.65–5.5V), no VCC isolation, lower max speed (420Mbps), SOT-23-6 package (2.9×2.8mm) | Requires shared VCC; unsuitable for asymmetric power sequencing or true partial-power-down | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs VCC isolation need and board space permits larger SOT-23 footprint |
| TXS0101DCKR | Auto-direction sensing (no DIR pin), lower drive (±2mA), 1.65–3.6V VCCA/VCCB, 60Mbps max | Eliminates DIR control logic but lacks high-speed capability and robust ESD (±15kV HBM) | Select for simple push-pull bus interfaces where direction changes infrequently and speed <100Mbps suffices |
Compared with SN74LVC1T45DBVR and TXS0101DCKR, the SN74AVC1T45 uniquely combines dual-rail flexibility, VCC isolation, 500Mbps throughput, and NanoFree™ packaging - making it the only choice for space-constrained, high-reliability, multi-rail embedded systems requiring guaranteed power-sequence independence.

FAQ
What is the minimum operating voltage for SN74AVC1T45 on both VCCA and VCCB rails?
The SN74AVC1T45 supports a minimum supply voltage of 1.2V on both VCCA and VCCB rails, as specified in TI's SCES530L datasheet Section 5.3. This enables reliable operation in deep-sleep modes of modern ultra-low-power processors and sensors, with full functionality including Ioff and VCC isolation maintained down to 1.2V.
Can SN74AVC1T45 translate between 1.2V and 3.3V in both directions, and what is the typical propagation delay?
Yes, SN74AVC1T45 supports bidirectional translation between 1.2V and 3.3V. At VCCA = 1.2V and VCCB = 3.3V, typical A→B propagation delay (tPLH/tPHL) is 2.4ns (Section 5.6), and B→A is 2.7ns. These values are measured under 15pF load and 10MHz conditions, confirming suitability for sub-400MHz digital interfaces.
How does the VCC isolation feature behave if VCCA is powered but VCCB is disconnected?
If VCCB is disconnected (i.e., floating or at GND), the VCC isolation feature forces both A and B ports into high-impedance state - regardless of DIR or input logic levels. This behavior is guaranteed per Section 7.3.1 and prevents bus contention or back-driving during power-up/down sequences, a key reliability advantage over single-supply translators.
Is SN74AVC1T45 compatible with 5V-tolerant systems?
No - SN74AVC1T45 I/Os are rated for 4.6V maximum (Section 5.1), not 5V. While 4.6V tolerance safely covers 3.3V systems with overshoot, direct connection to 5V buses risks damage. For 5V interface, TI recommends SN74AVCH series or discrete protection; SN74AVC1T45 must be used only within its 1.2–3.6V supply and ≤4.6V I/O voltage limits.
What package variant does SN74AVC1T45DCKRE4 correspond to, and what are its dimensions?
SN74AVC1T45DCKRE4 uses the DCK package: a 6-pin SOT-SC70 (NanoFree™) measuring 2.0mm × 2.1mm (Section 11, Package Information). This die-as-package construction eliminates leadframe, reducing thickness and thermal resistance versus standard SOT-23, and is optimized for high-density portable PCB layouts.
