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 domains with ±12mA drive at 3.3V, 4.6V I/O tolerance, and VCC isolation. It serves as a level-shifting interface in mixed-voltage SoC interconnects, FPGA-to-peripheral links, and low-power sensor hubs.
For engineers reviewing the SN74AVC1T45 datasheet, SN74AVC1T45 pinout, SN74AVC1T45 application, or SN74AVC1T45 equivalent, key selection criteria include configurable dual-rail operation (VCCA/VCCB = 1.2V–3.6V), 500Mbps max data rate (1.8V→3.3V), Ioff partial-power-down support, DIR-controlled directionality, and NanoFree™ SOT-5X3 package compatibility.
Technical Context
The SN74AVC1T45 implements asynchronous bidirectional translation via a DIR-controlled noninverting transceiver architecture: high DIR enables A→B transmission; low DIR enables B→A transmission. Both A and B ports feature independent supply rails (VCCA and VCCB), each supporting 1.2V–3.6V, with input circuits referenced to their respective VCC.
VCC isolation ensures both ports enter high-impedance state if either VCCA or VCCB is grounded. Ioff circuitry disables outputs during partial power-down to prevent backflow current, while 4.6V-tolerant I/Os allow safe interfacing with higher-voltage systems without external protection.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Range (VCCA / VCCB) | 1.2V to 3.6V per rail - enables translation across all common low-voltage nodes (1.2V/1.5V/1.8V/2.5V/3.3V) without level-shifters. |
| Max Data Rate | 500Mbps (1.8V→3.3V) - supports high-speed interfaces like SDIO, I²C fast-mode+, and low-latency sensor data links. |
| I/O Voltage Tolerance | ±4.6V - allows safe connection to 5V-tolerant buses or legacy peripherals without clamping diodes. |
| Output Drive Strength | ±12mA at 3.3V - sufficient to drive 50Ω transmission lines or multiple CMOS loads with controlled edge rates. |
| Propagation Delay (tPLH/tPHL) | 2.8ns typical (A→B, VCCA=3.3V, VCCB=3.3V) - ensures sub-3ns timing for real-time control loops and synchronous data capture. |
| ESD Protection | ±2000V HBM, ±1000V CDM - meets industrial-grade robustness requirements for handheld and field-deployable equipment. |
| Ioff Current | ±0.1µA max - guarantees negligible leakage during system sleep states, critical for battery-powered IoT endpoints. |
Pinout & Package
SN74AVC1T45 is packaged in the Texas Instruments NanoFree™ DRL (SOT-5X3, 6-pin) package measuring 1.6mm × 1.6mm - die-as-package construction minimizes parasitic inductance and footprint for space-constrained portable designs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VCCA | Power supply for A port and DIR input | References A-port I/O thresholds and DIR logic levels; must be stable before signal assertion. |
| GND | Common ground reference | Single ground plane required; no separate analog/digital GND - simplifies PCB layout. |
| A | Bidirectional I/O referenced to VCCA | Connects to 1.2V–3.6V source domain; accepts weak pull-up/down to avoid floating states. |
| B | Bidirectional I/O referenced to VCCB | Connects to 1.2V–3.6V sink domain; voltage-tolerant design eliminates need for external clamps. |
| DIR | Direction control input (active-high) | Logic level referenced to VCCA; controls data flow path (A→B when HIGH, B→A when LOW). |
| VCCB | Power supply for B port | Independent of VCCA - enables true dual-rail operation and voltage domain isolation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fully configurable dual-rail supply | VCCA and VCCB independently set from 1.2V to 3.6V - eliminates need for external regulators or LDOs in multi-voltage systems. |
| VCC isolation | Both ports auto-enter high-Z if either VCCA or VCCB = GND - prevents bus contention during power sequencing or fault conditions. |
| Ioff partial-power-down support | Outputs disabled with <±0.1µA leakage when VCCA or VCCB = 0V - essential for zero-power retention in battery-backed subsystems. |
| NanoFree™ packaging | DRL (SOT-5X3) package uses bare die as package - reduces thermal resistance (RθJA = 236.2°C/W) and board area by >40% vs. SOT-23. |
| 4.6V I/O tolerance | Withstands overvoltage on A/B pins up to 4.6V regardless of VCCA/VCCB - enables direct interface with 5V logic without level-shifter ICs. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage translation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TXB0101DGSR | Auto-direction sensing (no DIR pin); lower drive (±4mA); 1.65V–5.5V range | Suitable for I²C/SMBus where direction is data-driven; not for DIR-controlled protocols like SPI | Select when eliminating control logic overhead is prioritized over precise timing control. |
| SN74LVC1T45DBVR | Single-supply (VCC only); 1.65V–5.5V range; no VCC isolation; 3.3V max I/O tolerance | Limited to same-voltage-domain translation; lacks partial-power-down and overvoltage robustness | Choose only for cost-sensitive, single-rail designs where 4.6V tolerance and Ioff are unnecessary. |
Compared with TXB0101DGSR and SN74LVC1T45DBVR, SN74AVC1T45 uniquely delivers DIR-controlled bidirectionality with 4.6V I/O tolerance, VCC isolation, and Ioff - making it the sole option for safety-critical, mixed-rail, or high-reliability level-shifting where deterministic control and fault resilience are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the maximum supported data rate for SN74AVC1T45 in a 1.8V-to-3.3V translation scenario?
The SN74AVC1T45 supports up to 500Mbps when translating signals from 1.8V to 3.3V, as specified in the official Texas Instruments datasheet SCES530L. This performance is validated under recommended operating conditions with matched load capacitance and proper signal integrity layout. The SN74AVC1T45 achieves this using optimized internal driver strength and low-propagation-delay architecture.
Does SN74AVC1T45 require external pull-up resistors on the A or B ports?
No, SN74AVC1T45 does not require external pull-up resistors on A or B ports. Its input circuits include weak internal pulldowns to prevent floating states when external signals are undefined. However, external pull-ups may still be needed for open-drain bus protocols like I²C - but those serve protocol compliance, not SN74AVC1T45 functionality.
Can SN74AVC1T45 operate with VCCA = 1.2V and VCCB = 3.3V simultaneously?
Yes, SN74AVC1T45 is explicitly designed for asymmetric dual-rail operation: VCCA can be 1.2V while VCCB is 3.3V, enabling translation from ultra-low-power sensor domains to higher-voltage processing subsystems. The device maintains full functionality, including 4.6V I/O tolerance on the B port and guaranteed timing specs per the switching characteristics tables.
What happens to the outputs of SN74AVC1T45 if VCCA is powered down while VCCB remains active?
If VCCA is powered down (0V) while VCCB remains active, the VCC isolation feature forces both A and B ports into high-impedance state - preventing back-current flow and bus contention. This behavior is guaranteed per the functional description in Section 7.3.1 of the SN74AVC1T45 datasheet and is independent of DIR state.
Is the SN74AVC1T45 DRL package RoHS-compliant and lead-free?
Yes, the SN74AVC1T45 in the DRL (SOT-5X3) package is RoHS-compliant and lead-free, meeting JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1 (MSL-1) requirements. Texas Instruments confirms Pb-free terminal finish and halogen-free molding compound for this variant, as documented in the official packaging information section of the SN74AVC1T45 product folder.
