Product details
Overview
SN74LXCH1T45 from Texas Instruments is a single-bit, dual-supply noninverting bus transceiver with configurable voltage translation (1.1 V to 5.5 V per port), 3-state outputs, bus-hold inputs, and Schmitt-trigger control logic. It enables bidirectional level shifting between mismatched I/O domains in space-constrained interfaces such as MCU-to-peripheral, FPGA-I/O expansion, or sensor hub interconnects.
For engineers reviewing the SN74LXCH1T45 datasheet, SN74LXCH1T45 pinout, SN74LXCH1T45 application, or SN74LXCH1T45 equivalent, key selection criteria include its dual-rail operating range, bus-hold elimination of external biasing, VCC isolation behavior, 420-Mbps max data rate (3.3 V → 5.0 V), and guaranteed operation from –40°C to +125°C.
Technical Context
The SN74LXCH1T45 implements a fully independent dual-supply architecture: I/O port A and DIR control are referenced to VCCA, while port B is referenced to VCCB - enabling true asynchronous voltage domain bridging. Its bus-hold circuitry actively sustains input states without external resistors, and Schmitt-triggered DIR inputs tolerate slow or noisy control signals.
VCC isolation ensures all I/Os enter high-impedance when either supply drops below 100 mV, and Ioff-float supports partial power-down with floating supplies. The device meets JESD 78 Class II latch-up immunity (>100 mA) and exceeds JESD 22 ESD ratings (±4000-V HBM, ±1000-V CDM).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Range (VCCA/VCCB) | 1.1 V to 5.5 V each - enables direct interfacing between sub-1.2-V logic and 5-V legacy peripherals without external level-shifting components. |
| Max Data Rate | 420 Mbps (3.3 V → 5.0 V) - supports high-speed serial links like SPI clock/data lines or fast GPIO toggling in industrial controllers. |
| Bus-Hold Current | ±100 µA (at 4.5 V) - eliminates need for pull-up/pull-down resistors on data lines, reducing BOM count and PCB area in dense layouts. |
| Propagation Delay | 1 ns min / 15 ns max (VCCA = 3.3 V, VCCB = 5.0 V, –40°C to 125°C) - ensures deterministic timing for real-time control loops and synchronous communication. |
| Quiescent Current | 3 µA max at 25°C - critical for battery-powered IoT nodes where standby current directly impacts multi-year runtime. |
| ESD Protection | ±4000-V HBM, ±1000-V CDM - provides robust handling during automated assembly and field-replaceable module insertion. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive, industrial motor drives, and outdoor telecom equipment. |
Pinout & Package
SN74LXCH1T45 is packaged in SC70-6 (DCK), SON-6 (DRY), and X2SON-6 (DTQ) variants. This entry corresponds to the DCK (SC70) package: 2.00 mm × 1.25 mm, 0.65 mm pitch, surface-mount, lead-free, RoHS-compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VCCA | A-port supply rail | Reference voltage for port A I/O and DIR control input - must be stable within 1.1 V–5.5 V; powers internal bus-hold and level-shift circuitry for A side. |
| VCCB | B-port supply rail | Reference voltage for port B I/O only - independent of VCCA; enables true bidirectional translation across disparate voltage domains. |
| GND | Ground reference | Common return path for both supply rails; must be low-inductance and shared with connected systems to avoid ground bounce-induced glitches. |
| A | Bidirectional data I/O (A-side) | Port A signal line with bus-hold and Schmitt-trigger input; referenced to VCCA; supports 32-mA drive strength at 5 V. |
| DIR | Direction control input | Active-high signal referenced to VCCA; high = A→B transfer, low = B→A transfer; includes integrated static pull-down for floating-input safety. |
| B | Bidirectional data I/O (B-side) | Port B signal line with bus-hold; referenced to VCCB; electrically isolated from A-side logic except through controlled transceiver path. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual-rail voltage translation | Independent 1.1 V–5.5 V operation on VCCA and VCCB enables seamless interface between ultra-low-voltage MCUs (e.g., 1.2 V ARM Cortex-M0+) and 3.3/5 V sensors or displays. |
| Integrated bus-hold | Eliminates external bias resistors on A/B data lines - reduces component count, layout complexity, and risk of floating inputs in unpowered or hot-plug scenarios. |
| VCC isolation & Ioff-float | Automatic high-Z I/O state when either VCCA or VCCB < 100 mV; allows safe partial power-down of subsystems without signal contention or back-powering. |
| Schmitt-trigger DIR input | Provides noise immunity and clean edge detection on direction control - essential for reliable operation with slow-switching microcontroller GPIO or mechanical switch debouncing. |
| Robust power sequencing | No glitch generation during asymmetric VCCA/VCCB ramp-up/down - removes need for complex power-supply supervisors or sequencing ICs in multi-rail systems. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bidirectional voltage translation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74AVCH1T45DBVR | Same pinout, identical function, but uses AVCH process - lower propagation delay (typ. 1.8 ns vs 3.5 ns at 3.3 V), higher drive (36 mA), and tighter VCC min (0.8 V). | Preferred for high-speed SPI or MIPI I3C interfaces requiring < 2 ns skew; not qualified for 125°C operation. | Select SN74AVCH1T45DBVR when speed and sub-1-V compatibility outweigh extended temperature needs. |
| TXS0101DCKR | Auto-direction sensing (no DIR pin), lower drive (8 mA), no bus-hold, supports 1.2–3.6 V only - lacks VCC isolation and Ioff-float. | Suitable for simple push-pull I²C/SMBus where direction is implicit; unsuitable for controlled bidirectional data buses or partial-power-down systems. | Choose TXS0101DCKR only for cost-sensitive, low-speed, auto-direction applications with matched supply ranges. |
Compared with SN74AVCH1T45DBVR and TXS0101DCKR, the SN74LXCH1T45 uniquely balances wide voltage range (1.1–5.5 V), full thermal qualification (–40°C to 125°C), VCC isolation, and bus-hold - making it the only option for ruggedized, mixed-voltage, and thermally demanding embedded designs.

FAQ
What is the minimum supply voltage required for reliable operation of the SN74LXCH1T45?
The SN74LXCH1T45 supports VCCA and VCCB down to 1.1 V - verified across the full –40°C to +125°C temperature range. Below 1.1 V, bus-hold functionality degrades and propagation delay increases significantly; operation at 1.0 V is not characterized or guaranteed. Always maintain supply voltages ≥1.1 V for compliant behavior per the SCES939 datasheet.
Does the SN74LXCH1T45 require external pull-up or pull-down resistors on its A and B ports?
No. The SN74LXCH1T45 integrates bus-hold circuitry on both A and B data I/Os, which actively maintains the last-valid logic state without external biasing. This eliminates the need for pull-up or pull-down resistors in most applications - reducing BOM cost, PCB area, and potential signal integrity issues caused by resistor parasitics.
How does the SN74LXCH1T45 behave when one supply rail is powered off?
When either VCCA or VCCB falls below 100 mV, all I/Os (A, B) automatically enter a high-impedance state - a feature called VCC isolation. Additionally, the Ioff-float specification ensures that leakage current remains ≤2.5 µA even if the inactive supply floats, preventing back-powering of disconnected subsystems and enabling safe partial power-down operation.
Can the SN74LXCH1T45 translate signals between 1.2 V and 5 V domains reliably?
Yes. The SN74LXCH1T45 is explicitly characterized for 1.2 V ↔ 5.0 V translation, supporting up to 420 Mbps in the 3.3 V → 5.0 V direction and 200 Mbps in the 1.2 V → 5.0 V direction. Its dual-rail architecture, bus-hold, and Schmitt-trigger DIR input ensure robust signal integrity across this full range without external components.
Is the SN74LXCH1T45 compatible with standard SC70-6 PCB footprints?
Yes. The SN74LXCH1T45 in DCK (SC70-6) package uses the industry-standard SC70 footprint: 2.00 mm × 1.25 mm body, 0.65 mm lead pitch, and gull-wing leads. It is mechanically and solder-reflow compatible with other SC70-6 devices, including TI's SN74LVC1T45 and SN74AVC1T45, enabling drop-in replacement in existing layouts.
