Product details
Overview
SN74LXC1T45 from Texas Instruments is a single-bit, dual-supply noninverting bidirectional bus transceiver enabling voltage level translation between 1.1 V and 5.5 V domains. It features independent VCCA and VCCB rails, Schmitt-trigger inputs for noise immunity, integrated dynamic pull-downs on I/Os, static pull-downs on DIR control, and VCC isolation with Ioff-float for partial power-down operation. It supports up to 420 Mbps in 3.3 V → 5.0 V translation and operates across –40°C to +125°C.
For engineers reviewing the SN74LXC1T45 datasheet, SN74LXC1T45 pinout, SN74LXC1T45 application, or SN74LXC1T45 equivalent, key selection criteria include configurable dual-rail supply range (1.1–5.5 V), guaranteed glitch-free power sequencing, bidirectional direction control referenced to VCCA, Ioff-float behavior during supply loss, and robust ESD protection (±4000-V HBM).
Technical Context
The SN74LXC1T45 implements a fully decoupled dual-rail architecture: A-port I/O and DIR control are referenced to VCCA, while B-port I/O is referenced to VCCB - enabling true asynchronous level shifting without shared reference constraints. Its internal logic uses Schmitt-trigger input stages on all data and control pins, ensuring reliable operation with slow edges or noisy signals.
Directional data flow is controlled solely by the DIR signal (high = A→B, low = B→A), with no internal latching or clocking. The device incorporates VCC isolation: if either VCCA or VCCB falls below ~100 mV, all I/Os enter high-impedance state after being pulled down - a critical feature for hot-swap and multi-voltage domain power sequencing.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Voltage Range (VCCA/VCCB) | 1.1 V to 5.5 V per rail - enables direct interface between sub-1.2 V logic (e.g., modern MCUs) and legacy 3.3/5 V peripherals. |
| Max Data Rate | 420 Mbps (3.3 V → 5.0 V) - supports high-speed serial control links like I²C fast-mode+, GPIO expansion, and sensor interface backplanes. |
| Propagation Delay (tpd) | 1 ns min / 15 ns typ (VCCA = VCCB = 3.3 V, –40°C to 85°C) - ensures timing-critical bidirectional handshaking meets sub-20 ns budgets. |
| Ioff-float Current | ≤2.5 µA at –40°C to 125°C - guarantees safe high-Z state during power loss, preventing backfeeding or latch-up in powered-down subsystems. |
| ESD Protection | ±4000 V HBM, ±1000 V CDM - exceeds JEDEC JESD22-A114 and A101 requirements for industrial and automotive board-level robustness. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive, industrial motor drives, and outdoor edge computing deployments. |
| Supply Current (ICC) | 3 µA max at 25°C - enables always-on level-shifting in battery-backed systems without measurable quiescent drain. |
Pinout & Package
SN74LXC1T45DCKR is packaged in SC70-6 (DCK) with nominal body size 2.00 mm × 1.25 mm and 0.65 mm pitch. This ultra-compact package supports high-density PCB layouts in space-constrained applications such as wearables and portable instrumentation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VCCA | A-port supply rail | Reference for A I/O and DIR control logic; must be stable within 1.1–5.5 V during operation. |
| VCCB | B-port supply rail | Reference for B I/O only; independent of VCCA - enables true bidirectional voltage translation. |
| GND | Common ground reference | Single ground connection required; no separate analog/digital GND - simplifies layout in mixed-voltage systems. |
| A | Bidirectional data I/O (A side) | Connects to 1.1–5.5 V logic domain referenced to VCCA; includes integrated dynamic pull-down. |
| DIR | Direction control input | Referenced to VCCA; high = A→B, low = B→A; includes static pull-down for floating-input tolerance. |
| B | Bidirectional data I/O (B side) | Connects to 1.1–5.5 V logic domain referenced to VCCB; includes integrated dynamic pull-down. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Schmitt-trigger inputs on all pins | Enables reliable operation with slow-rise/fall signals (e.g., mechanical switches, long traces) without external hysteresis components. |
| Integrated dynamic pull-down resistors on I/Os | Eliminates need for external 10–100 kΩ pull-downs on A/B lines - reduces BOM count and PCB area in GPIO-expansion designs. |
| Static pull-down on DIR input | Permits unconnected DIR pin to default to low (B→A mode) - simplifies firmware initialization and supports hardware-defined default direction. |
| VCC isolation with Ioff-float | When VCCA or VCCB < 100 mV, I/Os first pull down then go high-Z - prevents current leakage and bus contention during brown-out or hot-plug events. |
| Robust power supply sequencing | No power-up order dependency between VCCA and VCCB - eliminates need for complex power-rail supervisors in multi-voltage systems. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bidirectional level translation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TXS0101DCKR | Lower max data rate (60 Mbps), no Schmitt-trigger inputs, higher ICC (10 µA typical), lacks Ioff-float | Not suitable for noisy environments or hot-swap scenarios requiring true high-Z isolation | Choose TXS0101DCKR only when cost is primary constraint and system operates strictly within 1.65–5.5 V with clean signals. |
| SN74AXC1T45DCKR | Higher speed (up to 500 Mbps), lower input threshold (0.18×VCCI), improved noise margin at low VCC, same pinout and thermal profile | Direct upgrade path for next-gen designs requiring >420 Mbps or sub-1.2 V compatibility | SN74AXC1T45DCKR is recommended for new designs targeting future-proof performance and extended low-voltage operation. |

FAQ
What is the minimum operating voltage for SN74LXC1T45DCKR on each supply rail?
The SN74LXC1T45DCKR supports VCCA and VCCB independently from 1.1 V to 5.5 V. Both rails may operate at their minimum 1.1 V simultaneously, and the device remains fully functional with guaranteed timing and logic thresholds - verified per TI's SCES934A datasheet Section 6.3.
Does SN74LXC1T45DCKR require external pull-up or pull-down resistors on its I/O pins?
No. The SN74LXC1T45DCKR integrates dynamic pull-down resistors on both A and B I/O pins, and a static pull-down on the DIR input. These eliminate the need for external resistors in most configurations - confirmed in Section 1 "Features" and Table 5-1 of the official datasheet.
How does SN74LXC1T45DCKR behave when one supply rail is disconnected?
When either VCCA or VCCB drops below ~100 mV, the SN74LXC1T45DCKR activates its Ioff-float feature: all I/Os are first pulled down, then transition to high-impedance. This prevents backfeeding and bus contention - a defined behavior in Section 1 and Section 8.3 of the SN74LXC1T45 datasheet.
What is the maximum data rate supported by SN74LXC1T45DCKR in 1.8 V to 3.3 V translation?
In 1.8 V → 3.3 V up-translation, the SN74LXC1T45DCKR supports up to 210 Mbps (Section 6.12, TMAX table). This is validated across –40°C to 125°C with 50% duty cycle input and defined pulse amplitude thresholds.
Is SN74LXC1T45DCKR compatible with legacy LVC-family level shifters?
Yes. The SN74LXC1T45DCKR is explicitly stated in Section 1 "Features" to be compatible with LVC-family level shifters - sharing pinout, logic behavior, and electrical characteristics that allow drop-in replacement in many existing LVC-based designs, subject to voltage and speed validation.
