Product details
Overview
SN74AXC2T45DTMR from Texas Instruments is a 2-bit noninverting translating transceiver with dual configurable power rails (VCCA and VCCB), supporting voltage translation between 0.65V and 3.6V per port, AEC-Q100 qualified for automotive use, operating from –40°C to +125°C, and delivering up to 380Mbps data rate in 1.8V-to-3.3V translation - used in bidirectional I/O bridging between mixed-voltage SoC peripherals and sensors.
For engineers reviewing the SN74AXC2T45DTMR datasheet, SN74AXC2T45DTMR pinout, SN74AXC2T45DTMR application, or SN74AXC2T45DTMR equivalent, key selection considerations include VCCA/VCCB supply independence, Ioff partial-power-down support, VCC isolation behavior below 100mV, glitch-free power sequencing, and compatibility with AVC-level-shifter systems.
Technical Context
The SN74AXC2T45DTMR implements asynchronous bidirectional data flow controlled by a single DIR input referenced to VCCA, enabling A→B or B→A transmission without clocking. Its dual-rail architecture allows independent operation of A-port (VCCA-referenced) and B-port (VCCB-referenced) I/Os across overlapping 0.65V–3.6V ranges.
It features robust isolation logic: if either VCCA or VCCB falls below 100mV, both ports enter high-impedance state; Ioff circuitry prevents leakage during partial power-down; and ESD protection exceeds ±8000V HBM and ±1000V CDM per JESD22.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Range (VCCA / VCCB) | 0.65V to 3.6V each - enables direct interfacing between sub-1V logic (e.g., advanced MCU I/O) and 3.3V peripherals without external level-shifters. |
| Max Data Rate | 380Mbps (1.8V→3.3V) - supports high-speed serial control links like I²C fast-mode-plus or GPIO-timed sensor readouts. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +125°C - validated for under-hood automotive ECUs and industrial motor drives. |
| VCC Isolation Threshold | <100mV on either rail disables all outputs to high-Z - prevents back-driving powered-down subsystems during brownout or hot-swap events. |
| Ioff Current | <±8µA at 125°C - ensures negligible leakage into unpowered buses during system sleep modes. |
| Propagation Delay (tpd) | Min 0.5ns, max 106ns (A→B, VCCA=0.7V/VCCB=3.3V, –40°C to 125°C) - guarantees deterministic timing for real-time control loops. |
| ESD Rating (HBM) | ±8000V - meets stringent board-level ESD immunity requirements for consumer and automotive end-equipment. |
Pinout & Package
SN74AXC2T45DTMR uses an 8-pin X2SON package (0.8mm × 1.35mm, 0.4mm pitch), optimized for space-constrained automotive and portable applications. Thermal resistance RθJA = 225.9°C/W enables reliable operation in compact PCB layouts without forced airflow.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A1, A2 | Data I/O (Port A) | Bi-directional signals referenced to VCCA; tolerate voltages from 0V to VCCA + 0.2V in active state. |
| B1, B2 | Data I/O (Port B) | Bi-directional signals referenced to VCCB; tolerate voltages from 0V to VCCB + 0.2V in active state. |
| DIR | Direction Control Input | Active-high signal referenced to VCCA; determines data flow direction (A→B when HIGH, B→A when LOW). |
| VCCA | Power Supply (Port A) | Supplies A-port logic and I/O; must be stable within 0.65V–3.6V; powers DIR input. |
| VCCB | Power Supply (Port B) | Supplies B-port logic and I/O; independent of VCCA; enables true dual-voltage domain bridging. |
| GND | Ground Reference | Common return path for both ports; must be low-impedance to minimize ground bounce in high-speed switching. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual-rail voltage translation | Independent VCCA/VCCB supplies (0.65V–3.6V) allow seamless interconnection of heterogeneous voltage domains - e.g., 0.8V FPGA I/O to 3.3V CAN transceiver. |
| VCC isolation | Automatic high-impedance output disable when either VCCA or VCCB drops below 100mV - prevents bus contention during power sequencing or fault conditions. |
| Ioff partial-power-down | Leakage current ≤ ±8µA at 125°C ensures safe operation when one side is unpowered while the other remains active - critical for battery-backed subsystems. |
| Glitch-free power sequencing | No power-up order dependency between VCCA and VCCB - simplifies system-level power management and eliminates need for sequencing controllers. |
| AEC-Q100 qualification | Qualified to Grade 1 (–40°C to +125°C) with full reliability testing - approved for safety-critical automotive applications including ADAS and body control modules. |

| Automotive Body Control Module | Industrial PLC I/O Expansion |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar translating transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74AVC2T45DTMR | Lower max VCC (3.6V → 3.3V); no AEC-Q100 qualification; higher Ioff (±20µA @125°C); same pinout and function. | Targeted at commercial-grade portable electronics; not suitable for automotive or extended-temperature industrial use. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs automotive qualification and ultra-low leakage requirements. |
| TXS0202DCUR | Auto-direction sensing (no DIR pin); lower max speed (100Mbps); supports 1.2V–3.6V rails; smaller 8-pin VSSOP package. | Best for simple push-pull bus extensions where direction is data-driven (e.g., I²C), not control-driven; lacks DIR-based deterministic timing. | Select for I²C/SMBus applications requiring zero-control-pin operation; avoid where precise DIR-controlled timing or >100Mbps is required. |
Compared with SN74AVC2T45DTMR and TXS0202DCUR, the SN74AXC2T45DTMR uniquely combines AEC-Q100 qualification, sub-1V operation down to 0.65V, <±8µA Ioff at 125°C, and 380Mbps capability - making it the only choice for high-reliability, high-speed, ultra-low-voltage automotive and industrial bridging.

FAQ
What is the minimum supply voltage supported by SN74AXC2T45DTMR on VCCA and VCCB?
The SN74AXC2T45DTMR supports a minimum supply voltage of 0.65V on both VCCA and VCCB rails, enabling direct interfacing with advanced low-power processors and memory interfaces operating below 1V. This specification is guaranteed across the full –40°C to +125°C temperature range and is verified per TI's SCES880D datasheet Section 5.3.
Does SN74AXC2T45DTMR require a specific power-up sequence for VCCA and VCCB?
No - the SN74AXC2T45DTMR features glitch-free power supply sequencing, meaning VCCA and VCCB may be powered on or off in any order without causing bus contention, output glitches, or latch-up. This behavior is enabled by internal isolation circuitry and is confirmed in the device's Feature list and Section 7.3 of the datasheet.
How does the VCC isolation feature behave in SN74AXC2T45DTMR during brownout conditions?
When either VCCA or VCCB drops below 100mV, the SN74AXC2T45DTMR automatically places both A-port and B-port I/Os into a high-impedance state - effectively isolating the powered domain from the browned-out side. This prevents back-driving, current injection, or unintended logic states, and is explicitly defined in Section 1 (Features) and Section 7.3 of the SN74AXC2T45DTMR datasheet.
Is SN74AXC2T45DTMR compatible with legacy AVC-series level shifters?
Yes - the SN74AXC2T45DTMR is explicitly stated as compatible with the AVC family of level shifters (per Section 1, Feature #8 of the datasheet). This includes functional equivalence in voltage translation range, I/O structure, and control logic, allowing drop-in replacement in existing AVC-based designs where enhanced specs (e.g., lower Vmin, AEC-Q100, lower Ioff) are beneficial.
What is the maximum data rate achievable with SN74AXC2T45DTMR in a 1.2V-to-2.5V translation scenario?
In a 1.2V-to-2.5V translation (VCCA = 1.2V, VCCB = 2.5V), the SN74AXC2T45DTMR achieves a maximum propagation delay (tpd) of 7ns (A→B, –40°C to 125°C, per Table 5.9), corresponding to a practical data rate exceeding 140Mbps. At 25°C, tpd improves to 5ns, supporting >200Mbps in well-controlled layouts - consistent with its rated 380Mbps peak in optimal 1.8V→3.3V conditions.
