Product details
Overview
SN74AVCH1T45 from Texas Instruments is a single-bit, dual-supply noninverting bus transceiver enabling bidirectional voltage translation between 1.2V–3.6V rails (e.g., 1.2V ↔ 3.3V). It features configurable level-shifting, 3-state outputs, bus-hold on data I/Os, VCC isolation, and Ioff for partial-power-down operation. Used in low-voltage interconnects between SoC peripherals and memory or sensor interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the SN74AVCH1T45 datasheet, SN74AVCH1T45 pinout, SN74AVCH1T45 application, or SN74AVCH1T45 equivalent, key selection criteria include dual-rail supply flexibility (VCCA/VCCB = 1.2–3.6V), 4.6V I/O tolerance, bus-hold elimination of external resistors, VCC isolation behavior, and verified 500Mbps max data rate in 1.8V→3.3V translation.
Technical Context
The SN74AVCH1T45 implements a fully configurable dual-rail architecture where A-port logic levels track VCCA (1.2V–3.6V) and B-port levels track VCCB (1.2V–3.6V); DIR input is referenced solely to VCCA. Its bus-hold circuitry actively sustains undriven inputs at valid logic states without external biasing.
VCC isolation forces both ports into high-impedance when either VCCA or VCCB is at GND, while Ioff limits power-off leakage to ±5μA per port. Propagation delays range from 0.2ns (3.3V→3.3V) to 8.5ns (1.2V→1.2V), with disable times up to 13.6ns depending on rail combinations.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCCA / VCCB Range | 1.2V to 3.6V each - enables universal translation among 1.2V, 1.5V, 1.8V, 2.5V, and 3.3V domains |
| Max Data Rate | 500Mbps (1.8V→3.3V) - supports high-speed low-voltage interconnects in portable electronics |
| I/O Voltage Tolerance | 4.6V - allows safe interfacing with higher-voltage legacy signals without clamping diodes |
| Bus-Hold Current | ±25μA to ±100μA (VCCA-dependent) - eliminates need for external pullup/pulldown resistors on A/B ports |
| Ioff Leakage | ±5μA max per port at 0V supply - ensures robust partial-power-down mode for system-level power gating |
| ESD Rating (HBM) | ±2000V - meets industrial-grade ESD immunity requirements per JESD22-A114 |
| Propagation Delay | 0.2ns to 8.5ns (rail- and direction-dependent) - enables timing-critical bidirectional data paths in mixed-voltage systems |
Pinout & Package
SN74AVCH1T45DBVR uses the DBV (SOT-23-6) package: 2.90mm × 1.60mm body, 0.95mm height, gull-wing leads. Pin 1 = VCCA, Pin 2 = GND, Pin 3 = A, Pin 4 = VCCB, Pin 5 = DIR, Pin 6 = B.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VCCA (Pin 1) | A-port supply reference | Sets logic thresholds and output drive strength for A-side I/O; accepts 1.2V–3.6V |
| GND (Pin 2) | Common ground reference | Return path for both supply rails; required for stable bus-hold and Ioff operation |
| A (Pin 3) | Bidirectional data I/O (A side) | Connects to 1.2V–3.6V domain; includes integrated bus-hold; 4.6V tolerant |
| VCCB (Pin 4) | B-port supply reference | Sets logic thresholds and output drive strength for B-side I/O; accepts 1.2V–3.6V |
| DIR (Pin 5) | Direction control input | Referenced to VCCA; high = A→B, low = B→A; no internal pullup/pulldown required |
| B (Pin 6) | Bidirectional data I/O (B side) | Connects to independent 1.2V–3.6V domain; includes integrated bus-hold; 4.6V tolerant |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual-rail voltage translation | Independent VCCA/VCCB supplies (1.2V–3.6V) enable any-to-any low-voltage level shifting without external components |
| Integrated bus-hold | Eliminates external pullup/pulldown resistors on A/B ports, reducing BOM count and PCB area in space-constrained designs |
| VCC isolation | Outputs go high-Z if either VCCA or VCCB is at GND - prevents backdrive and latch-up during power sequencing |
| Ioff partial-power-down | Blocks current flow between powered/unpowered rails (≤±5μA leakage), supporting dynamic power management in battery-powered systems |
| NanoFree™ packaging | Die-as-package construction reduces footprint (2.90mm × 1.60mm) and thermal resistance (RθJA = 210.5°C/W) for compact, thermally efficient layouts |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bus transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TXS0101DBVR | Auto-direction sensing (no DIR pin); lower max data rate (24Mbps); no VCC isolation | Best for unidirectional or simple push-pull I²C/SPI lines; unsuitable for controlled bidirectional buses requiring explicit direction control | Select SN74AVCH1T45 when explicit DIR control, VCC isolation, or >24Mbps throughput is required |
| SN74LVC1T45DBVR | Single-supply only (VCC = 1.65–5.5V); no dual-rail support; lacks bus-hold and Ioff | Applicable only when both sides share same supply; cannot translate between disparate voltages like 1.2V↔3.3V | Choose SN74AVCH1T45 for true dual-voltage domain bridging with power-aware features |
Compared with TXS0101DBVR and SN74LVC1T45DBVR, SN74AVCH1T45 uniquely combines explicit DIR control, full dual-rail independence (1.2V–3.6V per rail), VCC isolation, and bus-hold-making it the only option for robust, high-speed, mixed-voltage bidirectional data paths in power-managed systems.

FAQ
What voltage ranges does the SN74AVCH1T45 support on its VCCA and VCCB supplies?
The SN74AVCH1T45 supports independent supply voltages from 1.2V to 3.6V on both VCCA and VCCB pins. This enables translation between any combination of common low-voltage rails-including 1.2V, 1.5V, 1.8V, 2.5V, and 3.3V-without external components. Operation outside this range violates absolute maximum ratings and may cause permanent damage to the SN74AVCH1T45.
How does the DIR pin function in the SN74AVCH1T45, and what supply references it?
The DIR pin on the SN74AVCH1T45 controls data direction: logic high enables transmission from A to B, and logic low enables transmission from B to A. Critically, DIR is referenced to VCCA-not VCCB-so its VIH/VIL thresholds scale with the A-port supply. This ensures reliable control even when VCCA and VCCB differ significantly, a key distinction from single-supply translators. The SN74AVCH1T45 requires no external pullup or pulldown on DIR.
Does the SN74AVCH1T45 require external pullup or pulldown resistors on its A and B ports?
No, the SN74AVCH1T45 includes active bus-hold circuitry on both A and B ports, which automatically maintains undriven or floating inputs at valid logic states. TI explicitly advises against using external pullup or pulldown resistors with bus-hold enabled. This feature reduces BOM cost, saves PCB area, and eliminates resistor-induced timing skew-key advantages confirmed in the SN74AVCH1T45 datasheet Section 4.
What happens to the outputs of the SN74AVCH1T45 when one supply rail is powered down?
When either VCCA or VCCB is at GND while the other remains powered, the SN74AVCH1T45 activates VCC isolation: all outputs (A and B) enter high-impedance state. This prevents back-current flow and potential latch-up during asymmetric power sequencing-a critical reliability feature absent in basic level shifters. The bus-hold circuitry on the powered-up side remains active, preserving signal integrity on that rail. This behavior is guaranteed for the SN74AVCH1T45 across its full operating temperature range.
What is the maximum data rate supported by the SN74AVCH1T45, and under what conditions is it achieved?
The SN74AVCH1T45 achieves a maximum data rate of 500Mbps when translating from 1.8V to 3.3V (VCCA = 1.8V, VCCB = 3.3V), as specified in the official datasheet. Lower rates apply for other rail combinations: 320Mbps (<1.8V→3.3V), 280Mbps (→1.5V), and 240Mbps (→1.2V). These values reflect guaranteed AC performance under recommended operating conditions-not theoretical limits-and are validated across –40°C to 85°C ambient temperature for the SN74AVCH1T45.
