Product details
Overview
SN74LV1T34DBVRG4 from Texas Instruments is a single-channel CMOS logic-level translator buffer supporting bidirectional voltage translation between 1.2 V and 5.0 V domains, operating across 1.65 V to 5.5 V supply range, delivering up to 8 mA output drive at 5 V, and characterized to 50 MHz at 3.3 V - used in I/O bridging between mixed-voltage microcontrollers and peripherals in portable computing systems.
For engineers reviewing the SN74LV1T34DBVRG4 datasheet, SN74LV1T34DBVRG4 pinout, SN74LV1T34DBVRG4 application, or SN74LV1T34DBVRG4 equivalent, key selection considerations include its 5-pin SOT-23 (DBV) package, 5 V-tolerant inputs, VCC-referenced CMOS outputs, latch-up immunity >250 mA, and −40°C to +125°C industrial temperature rating.
Technical Context
The SN74LV1T34DBVRG4 implements a non-inverting buffer with LVxT-enhanced input thresholds enabling both up-translation (e.g., 1.8 V → 3.3 V at 3.3 V VCC) and down-translation (e.g., 5.0 V → 3.3 V at 3.3 V VCC), with input VIH/VIL levels dynamically scaled to VCC. Its push-pull CMOS output stage provides balanced sourcing/sinking capability and supports 15 pF load propagation delays as low as 4.0 ns at 3.3 V.
It features 5 V-tolerant inputs independent of VCC, internal clamp diodes per JESD17, and static supply current ≤10 μA across all supported VCC values. The device requires no external enable control and operates with standard logic pinouts - pin 2 (A) accepts translated input, pin 4 (Y) delivers VCC-referenced output, and pin 3 (GND)/pin 5 (VCC) define the translation reference.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 1.65 V to 5.5 V - enables use with 1.8 V, 2.5 V, 3.3 V, and 5 V system rails without level-shifter reconfiguration |
| Input Voltage Tolerance | Up to 5.5 V on A pin - allows direct connection to higher-voltage buses without external protection |
| Output Drive | 8 mA at 5 V VCC - sufficient to drive multiple LVC/LV-A inputs or short PCB traces without signal integrity degradation |
| Propagation Delay | 4.0 ns (typ) at 3.3 V, 15 pF - supports reliable 25 MHz digital signaling in timing-critical interfaces |
| Operating Temperature | −40°C to +125°C - qualified for automotive under-hood and industrial control environments |
| ESD Rating | ±2000 V HBM - meets JEDEC JS-001 for robust handling in automated assembly and field service |
| Logic Function | Non-inverting buffer - preserves signal polarity while translating voltage domains, simplifying timing analysis |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23-5 (DBV) package: 2.90 mm × 2.80 mm footprint, 1.3 mm max height, gull-wing leads, RoHS-compliant NiPdAu finish (per SN74LV1T34DBVRG4 marking), moisture sensitivity level 1, peak reflow 260°C.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (NC) | No-connect | Not internally bonded - must remain unconnected; floating or tied pins may cause EMI or leakage |
| 2 (A) | Input | 5 V-tolerant logic input with reduced VIH/VIL thresholds - accepts 1.2 V–5.5 V signals regardless of VCC |
| 3 (GND) | Ground | Reference return path for all internal circuitry and output switching - requires low-inductance connection to system ground plane |
| 4 (Y) | Output | VCC-referenced CMOS output - logic HIGH = VCC − 0.1 V (min), logic LOW = 0.1 V (max) at light load |
| 5 (VCC) | Supply | Defines output voltage domain and input threshold scaling - determines translation direction (up/down) and drive strength |

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; requires DIR pin and separate VCCA/VCCB rails | Supports true bidirectional data flow (e.g., I²C bidirectional lines); SN74LV1T34DBVRG4 is unidirectional only | Select SN74LVC1T45DBVR when protocol-level bidirectionality is required; SN74LV1T34DBVRG4 preferred for fixed-direction GPIO expansion |
| TXB0104RGYR | 4-channel auto-sensing bidirectional translator; 1.2 V–3.6 V VCCA/VCCB range; higher quiescent current (10 µA/channel) | Handles mixed-voltage I²C/SPI buses with automatic direction detection; not suitable for high-speed (>20 MHz) unidirectional clocks | Choose TXB0104RGYR for multi-line bus translation; SN74LV1T34DBVRG4 offers lower propagation delay and better 50 MHz timing margin for clock distribution |
Compared with SN74LVC1T45DBVR and TXB0104RGYR, the SN74LV1T34DBVRG4 delivers superior speed (4 ns vs. ≥6 ns), lower static current (≤10 µA vs. ≥40 µA), and simpler routing (no DIR pin or second supply), making it optimal for cost-sensitive, high-speed unidirectional signal bridging in space-constrained layouts.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of SN74LV1T34DBVRG4 at 3.3 V VCC?
The SN74LV1T34DBVRG4 is characterized to operate reliably up to 50 MHz at 3.3 V VCC with a 15 pF capacitive load, achieving typical propagation delay of 4.0 ns. This performance is validated across the full −40°C to +125°C temperature range and supports high-speed GPIO, clock, and control signal translation in real-time embedded applications. The SN74LV1T34DBVRG4 maintains signal integrity with minimal overshoot due to its controlled 8 mA drive strength.
Can SN74LV1T34DBVRG4 translate 5 V inputs down to 1.8 V outputs?
Yes, the SN74LV1T34DBVRG4 supports down-translation from 5 V inputs to 1.8 V outputs when operated with 1.8 V on VCC. Its 5 V-tolerant input pin (A) accepts 5 V signals safely, and the output (Y) swings rail-to-rail relative to the 1.8 V supply - delivering VOH ≥1.7 V and VOL ≤0.25 V at 3 mA load. This configuration is explicitly validated in TI's datasheet Section 1.1 and enables direct interfacing of legacy 5 V peripherals with modern ultra-low-voltage SoCs.
Is SN74LV1T34DBVRG4 pin-compatible with other LV1T-series devices in SOT-23-5?
Yes, the SN74LV1T34DBVRG4 shares identical pinout (NC, A, GND, Y, VCC) and SOT-23-5 (DBV) package dimensions with all LV1T-series logic gates including SN74LV1T00, SN74LV1T04, and SN74LV1T17. This allows drop-in replacement within the same family for functional changes (e.g., buffer → inverter) without PCB revision, provided the application does not require specific features like Schmitt-trigger inputs or 3-state outputs.
Does SN74LV1T34DBVRG4 require external pull-up or pull-down resistors on unused pins?
Pin 1 (NC) of the SN74LV1T34DBVRG4 must remain unconnected - no pull-up or pull-down is needed or recommended. All other pins have defined functions: A (input), GND, Y (output), and VCC. Unused inputs do not exist in this single-buffer device; however, if A is not driven in-system, it must be terminated to VCC or GND using a 10 kΩ resistor to prevent floating states, oscillation, and excess current draw - as specified in TI's Implications of Slow or Floating CMOS Inputs application report.
What is the thermal resistance (RθJA) of SN74LV1T34DBVRG4 in its SOT-23-5 package?
The SN74LV1T34DBVRG4 in the SOT-23-5 (DBV) package has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 278°C/W, measured under standard JEDEC JESD51-2 conditions with 1-inch² copper pad. This value reflects its ability to dissipate heat in typical PCB layouts and supports continuous operation at full output drive (8 mA) across the full −40°C to +125°C ambient range without derating, provided adequate board copper area is allocated beneath the exposed pad region.
