Product details
Overview
SN74LVC1T45 from Texas Instruments is a single-bit dual-supply bus transceiver enabling bidirectional voltage-level translation between 1.65V–5.5V domains, featuring configurable VCCA/VCCB rails, 3-state outputs, ±24mA drive at 3.3V, 4µA max ICC, and VCC isolation. It serves in low-voltage interconnects between mixed-voltage SoCs, FPGAs, and peripherals.
For engineers reviewing the SN74LVC1T45 datasheet, SN74LVC1T45 pinout, SN74LVC1T45 application, or SN74LVC1T45 equivalent, key selection criteria include dual-rail operating range (1.65V–5.5V), direction-control logic referenced to VCCA, Ioff partial-power-down support, 420Mbps max data rate (3.3V→5V), and NanoFree™ SOT-23-6 package compatibility.
Technical Context
The SN74LVC1T45 implements asynchronous bidirectional translation via DIR-controlled output enable: high DIR enables A→B transmission; low DIR enables B→A. Its input circuitry remains active on both ports regardless of DIR state, requiring defined logic levels to avoid excess ICCZ.
VCCA powers the DIR input and A-port interface; VCCB powers the B port. The VCC isolation feature forces both ports into high-impedance when either VCCA or VCCB = GND, and Ioff limits leakage to ±2µA over –40°C to +85°C during power-down.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCCA / VCCB Range | 1.65V to 5.5V each - supports translation across 1.8V/2.5V/3.3V/5V nodes without level-shifters |
| Max Data Rate | 420Mbps (3.3V→5V) - enables high-speed interface bridging in USB, PCIe auxiliary, or MIPI D-PHY control paths |
| Output Drive | ±24mA at 3.3V - sufficient to drive 50Ω transmission lines or multiple CMOS inputs with fast edge rates |
| Ioff Leakage | ±2µA max (–40°C to +85°C) - prevents backflow during partial power-down in battery-backed or hot-swap systems |
| Propagation Delay | 0.5ns–17.7ns (VCCA=5V→1.8V) - deterministic timing for synchronous handshaking in FPGA-to-ASIC links |
| ESD Rating | ±2000V HBM - meets industrial IEC 61000-4-2 system-level robustness requirements |
| Quiescent Current | 4µA max ICC - enables always-on voltage translation in ultra-low-power IoT sensor hubs |
Pinout & Package
SN74LVC1T45DBVRE4 uses the DBV (SOT-23-6) package: 2.9mm × 2.8mm footprint, 6-pin surface-mount, lead-free, RoHS-compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VCCA | Power supply for A port and DIR input | Defines A-port I/O voltage domain and DIR logic threshold; must be stable before signal application |
| GND | Signal and power reference ground | Common return path for both rails; requires low-inductance connection to minimize noise coupling |
| A | Bidirectional I/O port referenced to VCCA | Input threshold and output swing follow VCCA; connects to 1.65V–5.5V source (e.g., FPGA I/O bank) |
| B | Bidirectional I/O port referenced to VCCB | Input threshold and output swing follow VCCB; interfaces with independent voltage domain (e.g., 1.8V sensor) |
| DIR | Direction control input (active-high) | Logic level referenced to VCCA; high = A→B, low = B→A; no internal pullup/pulldown |
| VCCB | Power supply for B port | Defines B-port voltage domain; enables independent rail sequencing and isolation behavior |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual-rail voltage translation | Independent 1.65V–5.5V operation on VCCA and VCCB enables interoperability between legacy 5V logic and modern 1.8V/2.5V subsystems |
| VCC isolation | Automatic high-impedance on both ports if either VCCA or VCCB = GND - eliminates risk of bus contention during power sequencing |
| Ioff partial-power-down | Prevents current backflow when powered down; supports hot-plug and battery-save modes in portable electronics |
| NanoFree™ packaging | Dies-as-packages reduce thermal resistance (RθJA = 215.1°C/W) and board space vs. standard SOT-23 |
| Glitch-free supply sequencing | No power-up/down order required for VCCA/VCCB - simplifies PMIC design and avoids false logic transitions |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage translation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TXS0101DCUR | Auto-direction sensing (no DIR pin); lower drive (±2mA); higher ICC (10µA) | Eliminates DIR control logic but unsuitable for high-speed or high-drive use cases | Select when direction is predictable and speed < 10Mbps; avoid for 420Mbps or ±24mA loads |
| SN74AVC1T45DBVR | Wider VCC range (1.2V–3.6V); lower max data rate (200Mbps); same pinout | Optimized for sub-1.8V mobile interfaces; not rated for 5V domains | Choose only for 1.2V–3.3V-only systems; incompatible with 5V translation requirements |
Compared with TXS0101DCUR and SN74AVC1T45DBVR, SN74LVC1T45DBVRE4 uniquely supports full 1.65V–5.5V dual-rail operation with 420Mbps throughput and ±24mA drive-making it the sole option for mixed-voltage, high-speed, high-drive bridging where DIR control is acceptable.

FAQ
What voltage ranges does the SN74LVC1T45DBVRE4 support on its VCCA and VCCB rails?
The SN74LVC1T45DBVRE4 supports independent 1.65V to 5.5V operation on both VCCA and VCCB. This allows translation between any combination of 1.8V, 2.5V, 3.3V, and 5V logic domains. Operation outside this range violates absolute maximum ratings and may cause permanent damage to the SN74LVC1T45DBVRE4.
How does the DIR pin control data flow direction in the SN74LVC1T45DBVRE4?
In the SN74LVC1T45DBVRE4, a high-level DIR input (referenced to VCCA) enables data transmission from the A port to the B port; a low-level DIR input enables transmission from B to A. The DIR pin has no internal pullup or pulldown, so external biasing is required in floating states to prevent undefined behavior in the SN74LVC1T45DBVRE4.
Does the SN74LVC1T45DBVRE4 support partial power-down, and how is it implemented?
Yes, the SN74LVC1T45DBVRE4 supports partial power-down via its Ioff feature. When either VCCA or VCCB is at 0V, the SN74LVC1T45DBVRE4 automatically places both A and B ports in high-impedance, limiting leakage to ±2µA. This prevents back-current flow in battery-backed or hot-swap systems using the SN74LVC1T45DBVRE4.
What is the maximum data rate achievable with the SN74LVC1T45DBVRE4, and under what conditions?
The SN74LVC1T45DBVRE4 achieves up to 420Mbps when translating from 3.3V to 5V (VCCA = 3.3V, VCCB = 5V). Lower rates apply for other combinations: 210Mbps (to 3.3V), 140Mbps (to 2.5V), and 75Mbps (to 1.8V). These values are measured under specified load and temperature conditions per the SN74LVC1T45DBVRE4 datasheet.
Is the SN74LVC1T45DBVRE4 compatible with the NanoFree™ package, and what are its benefits?
Yes, the SN74LVC1T45DBVRE4 in DBV package uses Texas Instruments' NanoFree™ technology, where the silicon die functions as the package. This reduces footprint (2.9mm × 2.8mm), lowers thermal resistance (RθJA = 215.1°C/W), and improves solder joint reliability compared to conventional SOT-23 packaging - critical for dense layouts using the SN74LVC1T45DBVRE4.
