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 for robust partial-power-down operation in mixed-voltage I/O interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the SN74LVC1T45 datasheet, SN74LVC1T45 pinout, SN74LVC1T45 application, or SN74LVC1T45 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, NanoFree™ SC70-6 package details, DIR-controlled signal directionality, Ioff-enabled power sequencing safety, and real-world level-shifting use cases across industrial and embedded systems.
Technical Context
The SN74LVC1T45 implements a fully asynchronous, noninverting dual-rail architecture where A-port logic levels track VCCA (1.65V–5.5V) and B-port thresholds reference VCCB (1.65V–5.5V), enabling translation among 1.8V, 2.5V, 3.3V, and 5V nodes without external components. DIR input is referenced solely to VCCA, decoupling control logic from B-side supply.
VCC isolation ensures both ports enter high-impedance when either VCCA or VCCB = GND, while Ioff circuitry limits leakage to ±2µA over –40°C to +85°C, supporting safe hot-insertion and multi-rail power-down sequences without backfeed current or bus contention.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCCA / VCCB Range | 1.65V to 5.5V each - enables direct interface between any common logic families (1.8V ↔ 3.3V, 2.5V ↔ 5V, etc.) without level-shifters or resistors |
| Max Data Rate | 420Mbps (3.3V→5V) - supports high-speed serial links like UART, SPI clock lines, and GPIO expansion in compact designs |
| Output Drive | ±24mA at 3.3V - sufficient to drive multiple CMOS loads or moderate capacitive traces without buffering |
| Ioff Leakage | ±2µA max - prevents damaging current flow during partial power-down, critical for battery-backed or hot-swap subsystems |
| Propagation Delay | 0.7ns min / 17.7ns max (A↔B) - deterministic timing for synchronous data handshaking with minimal skew |
| ESD Rating | ±2000V HBM - meets industrial handling requirements without additional protection circuitry |
| ICC Quiescent | 4µA max - enables ultra-low-power operation in always-on sensor or control interfaces |
Pinout & Package
SN74LVC1T45DCKRG4 uses the SC70-6 (DCK) package: 2.0mm × 2.1mm, 0.65mm pitch, 6-pin surface-mount with exposed pad not present. Pin numbering follows TI standard top-view orientation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - VCCA | Power supply for A port and DIR input | Defines A-side logic thresholds and powers direction control; must be stable before signal assertion |
| 2 - GND | Reference ground | Common return path for both ports; requires low-inductance connection to minimize noise coupling |
| 3 - A | Bidirectional I/O (A port) | Signal terminal referenced to VCCA; output level swings 0V to VCCA, input threshold ~VCCA×0.35/0.65 |
| 4 - B | Bidirectional I/O (B port) | Signal terminal referenced to VCCB; output level swings 0V to VCCB, input threshold ~VCCB×0.35/0.65 |
| 5 - DIR | Direction control input | Low = B→A data flow; high = A→B data flow; referenced to VCCA, not VCCB |
| 6 - VCCB | Power supply for B port | Defines B-side logic thresholds; independent of VCCA, enabling true dual-voltage operation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual-rail voltage translation | Independent 1.65V–5.5V supplies on VCCA and VCCB enable seamless interoperability across 1.8V/2.5V/3.3V/5V logic domains |
| VCC isolation | Automatic high-Z on both ports if either VCCA or VCCB = GND - eliminates bus contention during asymmetric power sequencing |
| Ioff partial-power-down support | Sub-2µA leakage per pin when unpowered - allows safe integration into systems with staggered rail activation |
| NanoFree™ packaging | Die-as-package SC70-6 footprint (2.0mm × 2.1mm) - maximizes board density for space-constrained portable and IoT endpoints |
| Glitch-free power sequencing | No required ramp order or rate between VCCA and VCCB - simplifies power management design and eliminates false toggles |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage translation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TXS0101DCKR | Auto-direction sensing (no DIR pin); lower drive (±2mA); higher ICC (10µA) | Suitable for open-drain or push-pull buses with automatic direction detection; not for DIR-controlled synchronous protocols | Select TXS0101DCKR only when direction is inferred from bus activity, not controlled by MCU GPIO |
| SN74AVC1T45DCKR | Faster propagation (≤3.9ns typ); tighter VCC range (1.2V–3.6V); no VCC isolation | Better for high-speed 1.8V/2.5V/3.3V-only systems; unsuitable for 5V interfaces or asymmetric power-down scenarios | Choose SN74AVC1T45DCKR when maximum speed is critical and 5V compatibility or VCC isolation is unnecessary |
Compared with TXS0101DCKR and SN74AVC1T45DCKR, SN74LVC1T45DCKRG4 uniquely balances wide voltage support (1.65V–5.5V), explicit DIR control for deterministic protocol alignment, VCC isolation for fault-tolerant power sequencing, and industry-standard ESD robustness - making it optimal for mixed-voltage embedded control where reliability and flexibility outweigh raw speed.

FAQ
What voltage ranges does the SN74LVC1T45DCKRG4 support on VCCA and VCCB?
The SN74LVC1T45DCKRG4 supports independent 1.65V to 5.5V operation on both VCCA and VCCB rails. This allows translation between any combination of common logic voltages - including 1.8V ↔ 3.3V, 2.5V ↔ 5V, and 1.8V ↔ 5V - without external components. Each supply must remain within its specified range during operation to ensure valid logic thresholds and output swing compliance.
How does the DIR pin control data direction in the SN74LVC1T45DCKRG4?
In the SN74LVC1T45DCKRG4, the DIR pin is referenced to VCCA. When DIR = HIGH (≥VCCA × 0.65), data flows from the A port to the B port; when DIR = LOW (≤VCCA × 0.35), data flows from the B port to the A port. The A and B ports remain active inputs at all times, so proper bus arbitration and timing coordination with the DIR signal is essential to avoid contention in bidirectional configurations.
Does the SN74LVC1T45DCKRG4 support partial power-down, and how is it implemented?
Yes, the SN74LVC1T45DCKRG4 supports partial power-down via its Ioff feature. When either VCCA or VCCB is at 0V, the Ioff circuitry disables all outputs and limits leakage current to ±2µA per pin over –40°C to +85°C. This prevents backflow current into unpowered rails, protecting downstream circuitry and enabling safe hot-swap or staggered power sequencing - a key capability confirmed in the device's Electrical Characteristics table.
What is the maximum data rate achievable with the SN74LVC1T45DCKRG4, and under what conditions?
The SN74LVC1T45DCKRG4 achieves up to 420Mbps when translating from 3.3V to 5V (VCCA = 3.3V, VCCB = 5V), as specified in the Features section and validated in Switching Characteristics Table 5.6. Lower rates apply for other combinations: 210Mbps (to 3.3V), 140Mbps (to 2.5V), and 75Mbps (to 1.8V). These values reflect guaranteed maximums under recommended operating conditions, not typical lab measurements.
Is the SN74LVC1T45DCKRG4 compatible with the SC70-6 (DCK) package footprint used by other TI logic devices?
Yes, the SN74LVC1T45DCKRG4 uses the standardized TI SC70-6 (DCK) package: 2.0mm × 2.1mm body, 0.65mm lead pitch, and identical pinout (VCCA-GND-A-B-DIR-VCCB) as documented in Figure 4-2 and Table 4-1. This enables direct PCB footprint reuse across TI's single-bit translators, simplifying design migration and inventory consolidation without layout changes.
