Product details
Overview
SN74LV1T34DBVR from Texas Instruments is a single-channel CMOS buffer logic level shifter with 5-V-tolerant inputs, operating from 1.65 V to 5.5 V supply, supporting bidirectional voltage translation (e.g., 1.8 V ↔ 3.3 V, 3.3 V ↔ 5.0 V), delivering up to 8 mA output drive at 5 V, and characterized to 50 MHz at 3.3 V - used in inter-processor signal bridging between mixed-voltage subsystems.
For engineers reviewing the SN74LV1T34DBVR datasheet, SN74LV1T34DBVR pinout, SN74LV1T34DBVR application, or SN74LV1T34DBVR equivalent, key selection criteria include input threshold compatibility across 1.2–5.0 V logic families, VCC-referenced CMOS output compliance, 5-pin SOT-23 package constraints, and thermal performance under industrial temperature cycling (–40°C to 125°C).
Technical Context
The SN74LV1T34DBVR implements a non-inverting buffer with LVxT-enhanced input thresholds enabling both up-translation (e.g., 1.8 V input → 3.3 V output at VCC = 3.3 V) and down-translation (e.g., 5.0 V input → 3.3 V output at VCC = 3.3 V). Its input VIH/VIL thresholds scale with VCC, and outputs are strictly referenced to VCC, not input voltage.
It features balanced push-pull CMOS outputs capable of ±8 mA drive at 5 V, with propagation delay as low as 2.7 ns (typ.) at 5 V/15 pF, and includes internal clamp diodes on inputs and outputs for ESD robustness (±2000 V HBM). Unused inputs must be terminated to VCC or GND to prevent floating-induced oscillation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 1.65 V to 5.5 V - enables direct interface between 1.8 V, 2.5 V, 3.3 V, and 5 V logic domains without external biasing. |
| Input Voltage Tolerance | Up to 5.5 V on all inputs - supports down-translation from higher-voltage systems (e.g., 5 V MCU to 3.3 V FPGA) without level-shifting resistors. |
| Output Drive | 8 mA at 5 V VCC - sufficient to drive standard CMOS loads and reduce signal reflections on short PCB traces. |
| Propagation Delay | 2.7 ns (typ.) at 5 V/15 pF - ensures timing integrity in high-speed digital interfaces up to 50 MHz. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +125°C - qualified for automotive under-hood, industrial control, and telecom base station environments. |
| ESD Rating | ±2000 V HBM - meets JEDEC JS-001 for robust handling in automated assembly and field deployment. |
| Input Leakage | ±1 μA max - minimizes power impact in battery-powered portable applications with high-impedance signal paths. |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23-5 (DBV) package: 2.90 mm × 2.80 mm body, 5-pin surface-mount, lead-free (Sn), moisture sensitivity level 1 (260°C peak reflow), rated for –40°C to +125°C operation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (NC) | No-connect | Not internally bonded - must remain unconnected; no routing or pull-up/pull-down required. |
| 2 (A) | Input | 5-V-tolerant logic input with reduced VIH/VIL thresholds - accepts 1.2 V to 5.0 V signals depending on VCC setting. |
| 3 (GND) | Ground reference | Primary return path for supply current and signal reference - requires low-inductance connection to system ground plane. |
| 4 (Y) | Output | VCC-referenced CMOS output - swings rail-to-rail (0 V to VCC) with drive strength scaling with VCC (3–8 mA). |
| 5 (VCC) | Positive supply | Single power rail defining output logic levels and input thresholds - bypass with 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor placed <1 mm from pin. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Single-supply level translation | Eliminates need for dual-rail translators or discrete resistor networks - reduces BOM count and layout area in space-constrained designs. |
| VCC-referenced output | Ensures output logic levels match downstream device VCC requirements - avoids misinterpretation in mixed-supply SoC/FPGA interfaces. |
| 5-V-tolerant inputs | Enables direct connection to legacy 5 V peripherals (e.g., UART transceivers, sensors) without external clamping or attenuation. |
| Industrial temperature range | Supports uninterrupted operation in extended ambient conditions - critical for server backplanes, telecom line cards, and motor control modules. |
| Low static current | 10 µA max ICC - preserves battery life in always-on portable electronics such as IoT edge nodes and handheld test equipment. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar logic level translation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC1T45DBVR | Direction-controlled dual-supply translator (A/B ports); requires separate VCCA/VCCB rails; higher ICC (20 µA typ.) | Used where bidirectional data flow (e.g., I²C, SMBus) is needed - not suitable for fixed-direction buffering like SN74LV1T34DBVR. | Select when direction control and true bidirectional translation are required; avoid if only unidirectional level shift is needed. |
| TXS0102DCUR | Auto-direction-sensing dual-channel translator; open-drain outputs; 1.65–3.6 V VCCA/VCCB range; no 5 V tolerance. | Targeted at low-voltage I²C bus extension; lacks 5 V input tolerance and rail-to-rail CMOS drive capability. | Prefer for I²C/SMBus expansion; unsuitable for 5 V peripheral interfacing or high-drive applications requiring 8 mA output. |
Compared with SN74LVC1T45DBVR and TXS0102DCUR, the SN74LV1T34DBVR offers simpler single-supply operation, 5 V input tolerance, and stronger output drive - making it optimal for fixed-direction, mixed-voltage GPIO bridging where simplicity and robustness outweigh bidirectionality needs.

FAQ
What is the maximum input frequency supported by the SN74LV1T34DBVR?
The SN74LV1T34DBVR is characterized up to 50 MHz at 3.3 V VCC with 15 pF load. At 5 V VCC, propagation delay is 2.7 ns (typ.), supporting reliable operation in high-speed digital interfaces such as SPI clock lines and GPIO status signaling - but it is not intended for continuous high-frequency data buses like DDR or PCIe.
Can the SN74LV1T34DBVR translate 5 V inputs down to 1.8 V outputs?
Yes, the SN74LV1T34DBVR supports down-translation from 5 V inputs to 1.8 V outputs when operated at VCC = 1.8 V. Its 5-V-tolerant inputs accept 5 V signals safely, and its output swings rail-to-rail (0 V to 1.8 V), meeting VIH/VIL requirements of 1.8 V CMOS receivers per the Electrical Characteristics table.
Is pin 1 (NC) required to be tied to ground or left floating on the SN74LV1T34DBVR?
Pin 1 on the SN74LV1T34DBVR is a no-connect (NC) terminal with no internal bond wire - it must remain unconnected and should not be routed, grounded, or pulled up. Leaving it unconnected poses no functional or reliability risk, and TI explicitly states it is not internally connected.
Does the SN74LV1T34DBVR require external pull-up or pull-down resistors on its input or output?
No external pull-up or pull-down resistors are required for normal operation of the SN74LV1T34DBVR. Its CMOS input has high impedance and defined VIH/VIL thresholds; however, unused inputs must be terminated to VCC or GND - not left floating - to prevent oscillation and excessive ICC, per TI's design guidance in Section 9.2.
What is the thermal resistance (RθJA) of the SN74LV1T34DBVR in its SOT-23 package?
The SN74LV1T34DBVR in the DBV (SOT-23-5) package has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 278°C/W, as specified in the latest revision (February 2024) of the datasheet. This value assumes standard JEDEC 2-layer board conditions and informs thermal design margin for continuous operation at full output drive across the –40°C to +125°C range.
