Product details
Overview
SN74AXCH1T45 from Texas Instruments is a single-bit dual-supply bus transceiver enabling bidirectional voltage translation between 0.65 V and 3.6 V rails, featuring tri-state outputs, bus-hold inputs, and VCC isolation. It supports up to 500-Mbps data rates (1.8 V → 3.3 V), operates from –40°C to +125°C, and draws ≤16 µA combined supply current at 125°C. It is used in low-power, mixed-voltage I/O bridging for portable electronics and industrial controllers.
For engineers reviewing the SN74AXCH1T45 datasheet, SN74AXCH1T45 pinout, SN74AXCH1T45 application, or SN74AXCH1T45 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, directional control behavior, thermal metrics for SOT-23 packaging, bus-hold current thresholds, and real-world translation timing across 16 VCCA/VCCB combinations - all critical for voltage-domain interface design and PCB layout validation.
Technical Context
The SN74AXCH1T45 implements a fully configurable dual-rail architecture where Port A tracks VCCA (0.65–3.6 V) and Port B tracks VCCB (0.65–3.6 V), with DIR referenced to VCCA to determine signal direction (A→B or B→A). Its glitch-free power sequencing allows independent ramp-up/down of either supply without functional disruption.
Integrated bus-hold circuitry actively sustains unused inputs at valid logic levels-eliminating external resistors-with IBHL/IBHH currents ranging from ±4 µA (0.65 V) to ±145 µA (3.0 V). The VCC isolation feature forces both ports into high-impedance when either VCCA or VCCB drops below 100 mV, and Ioff limits leakage to ±12 µA during partial power-down.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Range (VCCA / VCCB) | 0.65 V to 3.6 V each - enables direct interfacing between sub-1-V logic (e.g., ARM Cortex-M0+ I/O) and 3.3-V peripherals without level-shifter ICs |
| Propagation Delay (A→B) | As low as 4 ns (VCCA = 3.3 V, VCCB = 3.3 V, TA = 85°C) - supports high-speed serial control links like PMBus or I²C clock stretching |
| Bus-Hold Current (IBHL / IBHH) | ±4 µA min at 0.65 V; ±145 µA max at 3.0 V - ensures robust noise immunity on floating data lines in battery-powered systems |
| Quiescent Current (ICCA + ICCB) | 10 µA max at 85°C, 16 µA max at 125°C - enables always-on I/O monitoring in energy-constrained IoT edge nodes |
| VCC Isolation Threshold | 100 mV - guarantees fail-safe high-Z state during brownout or hot-plug events, preventing backdrive damage |
| ESD Rating (HBM) | ±8000 V - meets industrial IEC 61000-4-2 system-level ESD requirements without external protection |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive modules and factory-floor PLC I/O expansion |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23 (DBV) package: 2.90 mm × 1.60 mm body, 0.95 mm height, gull-wing leads, JEDEC MO-178AC compliant. Thermal resistance RθJA = 214.0°C/W; RθJB = 93.6°C/W.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - VCCA | A-port supply rail | Defines logic thresholds and drive strength for Port A; must be stable before enabling DIR or data traffic |
| 2 - GND | Common reference | Shared ground return for both supply domains; requires low-inductance connection to minimize switching noise coupling |
| 3 - A | Bidirectional I/O (A side) | Signal path referenced to VCCA; bus-hold active regardless of DIR state when VCCA is powered |
| 4 - VCCB | B-port supply rail | Independent of VCCA; powers B-side output drivers and input receivers; enables true dual-voltage operation |
| 5 - DIR | Direction control input | Logic level referenced to VCCA; HIGH = A→B, LOW = B→A; no internal pullup/pulldown - must be driven |
| 6 - B | Bidirectional I/O (B side) | Signal path referenced to VCCB; bus-hold active only when VCCB is present, independent of DIR |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Configurable dual-rail operation | Each port independently supports 0.65–3.6 V supplies - eliminates need for discrete level shifters in heterogeneous SoC-to-peripheral interfaces |
| Integrated bus-hold | Active on A and B inputs when respective VCC is present - removes external 10-kΩ pull resistors, reducing BOM count and board space |
| VCC isolation | Both ports auto-enter high-Z if either VCCA or VCCB falls below 100 mV - prevents latch-up and backfeed during power sequencing faults |
| Ioff partial-power-down | Limits I/O leakage to ±12 µA when VCC = 0 V - enables safe insertion/removal in live backplanes and hot-swap PCIe carriers |
| Glitch-free supply sequencing | No power-on reset or initialization required - VCCA and VCCB may be powered in any order without metastability or output glitches |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bus transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LXC1T45DBVR | Lower ICCA+ICCB (5 µA typ at 125°C); identical pinout and bus-hold; supports same 0.65–3.6 V range but optimized for sub-µA IoT endpoints. | Preferred for battery-operated devices requiring <10 µA total quiescent draw; lacks VCC isolation feature. | Select SN74LXC1T45DBVR when ultra-low static power dominates over fault tolerance during supply brownout. |
| TXS0101DCKR | Auto-direction sensing (no DIR pin); 1.65–3.6 V only on both sides; higher propagation delay (min 12 ns); no bus-hold. | Suitable for simple push-pull I²C/SMBus translation where direction is implicit; requires external pullups. | Choose TXS0101DCKR only for cost-sensitive, non-bus-hold applications with fixed 1.8/3.3-V domain pairs and no need for explicit DIR control. |
Compared with SN74LXC1T45DBVR and TXS0101DCKR, the SN74AXCH1T45 uniquely combines VCC isolation, full 0.65–3.6 V flexibility per rail, and guaranteed bus-hold - making it the only option for robust, mixed-voltage, fault-tolerant I/O bridging in automotive and industrial control systems.

FAQ
What is the minimum operating voltage for SN74AXCH1T45 on each supply rail?
The SN74AXCH1T45 supports VCCA and VCCB down to 0.65 V independently. This enables direct interfacing with emerging sub-1-V logic families such as ARM Cortex-M23 cores and ultra-low-power sensor ASICs. Operation below 0.65 V is not characterized and may result in undefined bus-hold behavior or increased propagation delay variation.
Does SN74AXCH1T45 require external pullup or pulldown resistors on its I/O pins?
No. The SN74AXCH1T45 integrates active bus-hold circuitry on both A and B ports, which maintains unused or undriven inputs at valid logic states without external resistors. Using external pull resistors with enabled bus-hold is explicitly discouraged in the datasheet and may cause excessive current draw or logic contention.
How does the DIR pin function in SN74AXCH1T45, and what supply references it?
The DIR pin controls signal direction: HIGH enables A→B translation, LOW enables B→A. Critically, DIR is referenced to VCCA - its logic thresholds scale with VCCA voltage (e.g., VIH ≈ VCCA × 0.7). This ensures reliable direction control even when VCCA is as low as 0.65 V or as high as 3.6 V, independent of VCCB.
What happens to SN74AXCH1T45 outputs when one supply rail collapses?
When either VCCA or VCCB drops below 100 mV, the SN74AXCH1T45 activates VCC isolation: both A and B ports immediately enter high-impedance state, disabling all outputs. This prevents backdrive current flow and protects downstream components during brownout, hot-swap, or partial power-down events.
Can SN74AXCH1T45 operate with only one supply rail powered?
Yes - the SN74AXCH1T45 supports single-supply operation. If only VCCA is powered, Port A functions normally (with bus-hold active), while Port B remains high-Z. If only VCCB is powered, Port B functions with bus-hold, and Port A is high-Z. Ioff limits leakage to ±12 µA in either case, satisfying partial-power-down requirements.
