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 logic 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 (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, this device is selected for low-power, space-constrained I/O bridging in mixed-voltage microcontroller interfaces, sensor hubs, and battery-powered IoT edge nodes where supply sequencing robustness and input noise tolerance are critical.
Technical Context
The SN74LXC1T45 implements a fully configurable dual-rail architecture: A-port I/O and DIR control are referenced to VCCA (1.1–5.5 V), while B-port I/O is referenced to VCCB (1.1–5.5 V). Directional data flow (A↔B) is controlled solely by the DIR signal, with no OE pin - enabling simplified two-wire level-shifting without external enable logic.
Its Schmitt-trigger inputs provide hysteresis (ΔVT = 0.2–1.06 V depending on VCCI), rejecting slow edges and noise up to ±100 mV. The Ioff-float feature ensures all I/Os enter high-impedance state when either VCCA or VCCB drops below 100 mV, preventing backfeeding and enabling safe hot-insertion in multi-rail systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Voltage Range (VCCA/VCCB) | 1.1 V to 5.5 V per rail - enables direct interfacing between sub-1.2 V MCUs and 5 V peripherals without external regulators. |
| Max Data Rate | 420 Mbps (3.3 V → 5.0 V) - supports high-speed serial control links like I²C clock stretching or SPI command forwarding. |
| Propagation Delay (tpd) | 1 ns (min) to 15 ns (max) at 3.3 V/3.3 V - ensures timing-critical bidirectional handshaking meets sub-20 ns round-trip latency budgets. |
| Ioff Current | ≤2.5 µA (–40°C to 125°C) - guarantees ultra-low leakage during system sleep modes, preserving battery life in portable devices. |
| ESD Protection | ±4000 V HBM, ±1000 V CDM - meets industrial IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4 requirements without external TVS diodes. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive modules, industrial PLC I/O cards, and outdoor wireless gateways. |
Pinout & Package
X2SON-6 package (1.00 mm × 0.80 mm, 0.35 mm height) - optimized for ultra-dense PCB layouts in wearables and compact sensor nodes.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VCCA | A-port supply rail | Reference for A I/O and DIR control logic; must be stable before signal assertion to avoid metastability. |
| VCCB | B-port supply rail | Reference for B I/O only; independent of VCCA - allows true asymmetric level shifting (e.g., 1.8 V MCU ↔ 5 V display driver). |
| GND | Common ground reference | Shared return path for both rails; no separate ground pins - simplifies layout but requires low-impedance shared GND plane. |
| A | Bidirectional data port A | I/O referenced to VCCA; accepts 1.1–5.5 V signals; integrates dynamic pull-down for floating-bus termination. |
| DIR | Direction control input | Referenced to VCCA; high = A→B, low = B→A; includes static pull-down to prevent floating-state misdirection. |
| B | Bidirectional data port B | I/O referenced to VCCB; accepts 1.1–5.5 V signals; supports same drive strength (32 mA) as A port at 5 V. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Schmitt-trigger inputs | Input hysteresis (ΔVT) ≥0.2 V ensures reliable switching on slow or noisy signals (e.g., mechanical switch debouncing, long traces). |
| VCC isolation (Ioff-float) | Automatic high-Z I/O state when either VCCA or VCCB <100 mV - eliminates need for external isolation switches in multi-rail power sequencing. |
| Integrated pull-down resistors | Dynamic pull-downs on A/B I/Os + static pull-down on DIR reduce external component count by ≥3 passives per channel. |
| Low quiescent current | 3 µA max at 25°C - extends battery runtime in always-on sensor nodes without sacrificing translation performance. |
| Robust supply sequencing | No power-up order dependency between VCCA and VCCB - simplifies PMIC design and avoids latch-up during cold-start. |
Applications
| MCU-to-Peripheral Bridging | Mechanical Switch Debouncing |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Interfacing a 1.8 V ARM Cortex-M0+ microcontroller GPIO to a legacy 5 V UART transceiver or LED driver IC.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bidirectional level translation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TXB0101DGSR | Auto-direction sensing (no DIR pin); higher ICC (10 µA typ); no Schmitt inputs; 1.2–3.6 V only. | Best for simple unidirectional or auto-sensed data paths; unsuitable for noisy environments or >3.6 V domains. | Select SN74LXC1T45 when DIR-controlled deterministic direction, Schmitt noise immunity, or 5 V compatibility is required. |
| SN74AVC1T45DBVR | Lower drive (12 mA), no Ioff-float, narrower VCC range (1.2–3.6 V), no integrated pull-downs on DIR. | Targeted at cost-sensitive consumer apps with tight voltage margins; lacks robustness for industrial hot-swap or wide-VCC designs. | Choose SN74LXC1T45 for extended voltage range, guaranteed Ioff isolation, and reduced external component count. |
Compared with TXB0101DGSR and SN74AVC1T45DBVR, the SN74LXC1T45 delivers wider voltage support (1.1–5.5 V), deterministic DIR control for synchronous protocols, and integrated protection features - making it the preferred choice for ruggedized, multi-domain embedded systems requiring long-term supply continuity.

FAQ
What is the minimum operating voltage for SN74LXC1T45 on either VCCA or VCCB?
The SN74LXC1T45 supports a minimum supply voltage of 1.1 V on both VCCA and VCCB rails, enabling interoperability with next-generation sub-1.2 V microcontrollers and low-power sensors. This specification is validated across the full –40°C to +125°C temperature range per TI SCES934A datasheet Section 6.3.
Does SN74LXC1T45 require external pull-up or pull-down resistors on its DIR pin?
No. The SN74LXC1T45 integrates a static pull-down resistor on the DIR input, allowing the pin to be left floating without risk of undefined direction state. This eliminates the need for an external pull-down resistor, reducing component count and PCB footprint - a key advantage over legacy translators like SN74AVC1T45.
How does the Ioff-float feature function in SN74LXC1T45 during power-down sequences?
When either VCCA or VCCB falls below 100 mV, the SN74LXC1T45 automatically pulls all I/Os (A and B) to GND via internal dynamic resistors, then transitions them to high-impedance. This prevents back-current flow and signal contention during asymmetric power-down - a critical capability verified in TI's application note SBAA354 for hot-plug and partial-power-down systems.
What is the maximum data rate supported by SN74LXC1T45 in 1.8 V to 3.3 V level translation?
In 1.8 V → 3.3 V up-translation mode, the SN74LXC1T45 supports a maximum data rate of 210 Mbps, as specified in Table 6.12 of the TI SCES934A datasheet. This is measured under 50% duty cycle, with 20% pulse thresholds defined relative to VCCO, and applies across the full –40°C to +125°C operating range.
Can SN74LXC1T45 be used in automotive applications requiring AEC-Q100 qualification?
The SN74LXC1T45 is not AEC-Q100 qualified. It is rated for industrial temperature (–40°C to +125°C) and meets JESD 78 Class II latch-up and JESD 22 ESD standards, but lacks automotive-specific stress testing and documentation. For AEC-Q100-compliant alternatives, consult TI's automotive-grade level shifters such as the SN74AXC1T45-Q1.
