Product details
Overview
ST1G3236DTR from STMicroelectronics is a 1-bit dual-supply bus transceiver level translator with integrated 26Ω A-side series resistors, designed for bidirectional voltage-level translation between 1.2V/1.8V/2.5V and 3.3V buses in mixed-voltage systems. It supports VCCA = 1.2–3.6V and VCCB = 1.2V to VCCA, delivers 4.0ns max propagation delay at 85°C, and draws ≤5μA quiescent current per supply.
For engineers reviewing the ST1G3236DTR datasheet, ST1G3236DTR pinout, ST1G3236DTR application, or ST1G3236DTR equivalent, key selection criteria include dual-rail operation range, direction-controlled asynchronous data flow, A-side output impedance matching, ESD-hardened I/O (2kV HBM), and DFN6L (1.2×1mm) footprint compatibility with space-constrained embedded interfaces.
Technical Context
The ST1G3236DTR implements a CMOS-based bidirectional level-shifting architecture where DIR pin state determines signal direction (A→B or B→A), and VCCA/VCCB supplies operate independently within defined voltage constraints (VCCB ≤ VCCA). Its internal logic includes input/output protection diodes and power-down isolation on all pins.
It features balanced tPLH/tPHL propagation delays (≤4.0ns), 26Ω series resistor on A1 output only, and rail-to-rail input thresholds referenced to respective supplies (VIHA = 0.65×VCCA, VIHB = 0.65×VCCB). The device meets JESD78 Class II latch-up immunity (>100mA) and JESD22-A114-A ESD rating (2000V HBM).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Propagation Delay (tPD) | Max 4.0ns at TA = 85°C - enables ≥250MHz data rate in short-trace point-to-point links |
| VCCA Operating Range | 1.2V to 3.6V - supports interface to 1.2V, 1.8V, 2.5V, or 3.3V logic domains as high-side supply |
| VCCB Operating Range | 1.2V to VCCA - ensures safe operation only when VCCB ≤ VCCA, preventing reverse current flow |
| A-side Output Resistor | 26Ω series termination - reduces ringing and EMI on A1 output without external components |
| Quiescent Current (ICCA/ICCB) | ≤5μA at TA = 85°C - minimizes standby power in battery-backed or always-on system partitions |
| ESD Immunity (HBM) | 2000V - protects against handling-induced discharge without requiring external TVS devices |
| Latch-up Immunity | >100mA per JESD78 Class II - ensures robustness during voltage transient events on I/O lines |
Pinout & Package
ST1G3236DTR is housed in a 6-pin DFN package (1.2mm × 1.0mm, 0.4mm pitch) with wettable flanks and ECOPACK® lead-free finish. The package supports reflow soldering per JEDEC J-STD-020 and provides thermal performance suitable for low-power portable applications.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 VCCA | High-side supply rail | Power source for A-side I/O buffers and internal logic; sets VOHA/VOLA thresholds |
| 2 GND | Digital ground reference | Common return path for both supply domains; must be low-inductance connection |
| 3 A1 | Bidirectional A-side data terminal | Connects to higher-voltage bus; includes 26Ω series resistor and ESD protection |
| 4 B1 | Bidirectional B-side data terminal | Connects to lower-voltage bus (VCCB); no series resistor; full rail-swing capability |
| 5 DIR | Direction control input | Logic level referenced to VCCB; 'H' enables B→A transfer, 'L' enables A→B transfer |
| 6 VCCB | Low-side supply rail | Power source for B-side I/O and DIR input; must not exceed VCCA |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Asymmetric output termination | 26Ω series resistor on A1 only - matches typical PCB trace impedance on high-voltage side while preserving drive strength on B1 |
| Power-down I/O protection | Inputs and outputs remain high-impedance and clamped during VCCA/VCCB power loss - prevents back-driving of powered rails |
| Supply-rail-referenced thresholds | VIHA = 0.65×VCCA, VIHB = 0.65×VCCB - ensures reliable switching across full operating voltage ranges without external biasing |
| Matched propagation delays | tPLH ≅ tPHL - maintains data eye symmetry in high-speed bidirectional protocols like I²C or SMBus extensions |
| Low dynamic power | CPD = 29pF - limits switching current to ~0.9mA at 10MHz with 3.3V supply, reducing noise coupling |
Applications

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 | No built-in series resistor; requires external 26Ω on A-side if needed; supports VCCA up to 5.5V | Better suited for 5V-tolerant systems; lacks native A-side termination for clean 3.3V edge control | Select when wider VCCA range or 5V compatibility is required, and external termination is acceptable |
| SN74AVC1T45DBVR | Higher ICC (10μA typ); no integrated series resistor; supports DIR-independent auto-direction sensing | Enables simpler wiring in unidirectional or auto-sensing configurations but increases layout complexity for fixed-direction use | Select when automatic direction detection is preferred over DIR pin control, and lower quiescent current is not critical |
Compared with TXS0101DCKR and SN74AVC1T45DBVR, ST1G3236DTR uniquely combines guaranteed 26Ω A-side termination, ≤5μA quiescent current, and strict VCCB ≤ VCCA constraint-making it optimal for compact, low-power, fixed-direction 1.2V–3.3V translation where signal integrity and standby efficiency are prioritized.

FAQ
Can ST1G3236DTR translate between 3.3V and 5V buses?
No. ST1G3236DTR is rated for VCCA up to 3.6V and VCCB up to VCCA; applying 5V to either supply exceeds absolute maximum ratings and risks permanent damage. For 5V translation, consider TXS0101 or similar 5V-tolerant translators.
Is the 26Ω series resistor present on both A1 and B1 pins?
No. The 26Ω series resistor is integrated only on the A1 output terminal. B1 has no internal series resistance and provides full drive strength directly to the VCCB domain, allowing flexible external termination if needed.
What happens to A1 and B1 when VCCA or VCCB is unpowered?
Both A1 and B1 enter high-impedance state with active ESD clamping diodes engaged, preventing back-current flow into unpowered supplies. This power-down protection is specified in the datasheet and verified per JESD78 latch-up testing.
Does DIR need to be driven from the VCCB domain?
Yes. The DIR input threshold is referenced to VCCB (VIHB = 0.65×VCCB), so it must be driven by a signal sourced from the VCCB domain or a compatible voltage level; driving from VCCA may cause undefined logic states or increased leakage.
