Product details
Overview
ST2329IQTR from STMicroelectronics is a 2-bit dual-supply bidirectional level translator with auto-direction detection, integrated 10 kΩ pull-ups on both VL and VCC sides, 18 Mbps max data rate (totem pole drive), 5.5 V-tolerant OE pin, and QFN10 (1.8 × 1.4 mm) package. It enables voltage translation between 1.65–3.6 V (VL) and 1.8–5.5 V (VCC) domains in I²C and UART interfaces of mobile and low-voltage embedded systems.
For engineers reviewing the ST2329IQTR datasheet, ST2329IQTR pinout, ST2329IQTR application, or ST2329IQTR equivalent, this device supports high-speed bidirectional translation without direction control, features power-down mode with high-impedance I/Os when either supply is off, and delivers verified DC/AC performance across –40 °C to +85 °C with integrated pull-up resistors eliminating external components.
Technical Context
The ST2329IQTR uses a transmission-gate-based architecture enabling true bidirectional level shifting without direction pins. Its auto-direction sensing relies on internal weak pull-ups and dynamic gate control, allowing seamless signal flow in either direction based on relative voltage transitions at I/OVL and I/OVCC terminals.
It supports two distinct driver types: totem-pole (up to 18 Mbps) and open-drain (up to 6.8 Mbps), with propagation delays as low as 2 ns (tPLH) under optimal VCC/VL combinations. The OE pin operates referenced to VL and tolerates up to 5.5 V, enabling direct interfacing with higher-voltage controllers while maintaining low quiescent current (≤4 µA).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply range VL | 1.65 V to 3.6 V - sets low-side logic threshold; compatible with 1.8 V, 2.5 V, and 3.3 V ASIC/PLD I/Os. |
| Supply range VCC | 1.80 V to 5.5 V - supports interface to 3.3 V, 5 V microcontrollers and peripherals; must exceed VL. |
| Max data rate | 18 Mbps (totem pole) - enables high-speed UART and SPI-level translation; limited by rise/fall time and load capacitance. |
| Integrated pull-up | 10 kΩ on both I/OVL and I/OVCC - eliminates need for external resistors in most I²C and low-speed applications. |
| Quiescent current | Max 4 µA - ensures minimal power draw in battery-powered mobile devices during active translation. |
| ESD rating | ±2 kV HBM - provides robustness against handling-induced electrostatic discharge in assembly and field use. |
| OE pin tolerance | 5.5 V tolerant - allows direct connection to 5 V enable signals without level-shifting circuitry. |
Pinout & Package
ST2329IQTR is housed in a QFN10 package (1.8 mm × 1.4 mm × 0.5 mm, 0.4 mm pitch) with wettable flanks and exposed thermal pad. Pin 1 is marked by a dot; the package is RoHS-compliant and ECOPACK®-certified.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2 (I/OVL1, I/OVL2) | Low-voltage bidirectional I/O | Connects to 1.65–3.6 V domain; auto-senses direction; driven by or drives VL-referenced logic. |
| 3 (OE) | Output enable input | Active-low; referenced to VL; 5.5 V tolerant; places all I/Os in high-impedance when LOW. |
| 4, 5 (NC) | No connect | Not bonded; must be left unconnected; no internal connection or function. |
| 6 (GND) | Ground reference | Common return path for both VL and VCC supplies; connects to PCB ground plane. |
| 7, 8 (I/OVCC2, I/OVCC1) | High-voltage bidirectional I/O | Connects to 1.8–5.5 V domain; complements I/OVL pins; shares same auto-direction logic. |
| 9 (VCC) | High-side supply | Provides power for VCC-side logic and output drivers; must be ≥ VL and ≤ 5.5 V. |
| 10 (VL) | Low-side supply | Sets VL-side logic thresholds and powers internal pull-ups; defines minimum input voltage levels. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Bidirectional auto-direction | Eliminates direction-control pin and associated GPIO overhead; reduces PCB routing complexity and firmware dependencies. |
| Integrated 10 kΩ pull-ups | Reduces BOM count and board area for I²C bus termination; avoids external resistor placement and layout sensitivity. |
| Power-down mode | When OE = LOW or either VL/VCC is off, all I/Os enter high-impedance state - prevents back-powering and leakage in partial-power-down systems. |
| Wide dual-supply flexibility | Supports mixed-voltage system integration (e.g., 1.8 V FPGA ↔ 5 V MCU) without custom biasing or discrete FET translators. |
| Open-drain/totem-pole compatibility | Accepts both driver types - simplifies reuse across legacy (open-drain I²C) and modern (push-pull UART) interface designs. |
Applications
| I²C Bus Translation | UART Interface Bridging |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Interfacing a 1.8 V sensor hub with a 3.3 V application processor over standard I²C bus. IC Role / Device Role: Bidirectional level shifter on SDA/SCL lines, using internal 10 kΩ pull-ups to meet I²C rise-time requirements. Use Value: Eliminates external pull-ups and direction logic; maintains 400 kHz I²C timing integrity with <2 ns propagation delay asymmetry. | Use Scenario: Connecting a 2.5 V Bluetooth module's UART TX/RX to a 5 V industrial controller. IC Role / Device Role: Voltage-domain translator enabling full-duplex UART communication without handshaking or protocol modification. Use Value: Supports 18 Mbps operation with totem-pole drivers; ensures reliable start/stop bit recognition across voltage domains. |
| Mobile Baseband-to-AP Interface | Low-Power Wearable Subsystem |
Use Scenario: Level translation between 1.65 V baseband processor and 3.3 V application processor in smartphone PMIC domain. IC Role / Device Role: Dual-channel translator for control/status signals (e.g., RESET#, IRQ) with simultaneous VL/VCC domain isolation. Use Value: Quiescent current ≤4 µA extends battery life; OE pin enables coordinated power gating during sleep modes. | Use Scenario: Interfacing a 3.0 V environmental sensor array with a 1.8 V ultra-low-power microcontroller in hearable devices. IC Role / Device Role: Low-voltage bidirectional bridge supporting intermittent wake-up bursts and deep-sleep retention. Use Value: Power-down mode prevents current leakage when VCC is disabled; integrated pull-ups avoid parasitic loading in compact layouts. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bidirectional level translation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TXS0102DCUR | 2-bit, 1.65–5.5 V dual-supply; no integrated pull-ups; requires external 10 kΩ resistors on both sides. | Lacks auto-direction - needs external direction control logic for full-duplex protocols like I²C. | Preferred when design already includes pull-ups or requires tighter AC specs (e.g., 60 Mbps max). |
| PCA9306DCUR | 2-bit, 1.2–3.6 V / 1.8–5.5 V; integrated 10 kΩ pull-ups; but only supports open-drain drivers (no totem-pole mode). | Lower max data rate (2 MHz typical); not suitable for high-speed UART or push-pull-driven buses. | Selected for cost-sensitive I²C-only systems where 400 kHz–1 MHz operation suffices. |
Compared with TXS0102DCUR and PCA9306DCUR, ST2329IQTR uniquely combines auto-direction, integrated pull-ups, and dual-driver support (totem-pole + open-drain) in a sub-2 mm² footprint - making it optimal for space-constrained, multi-protocol mobile interfaces requiring zero-GPIO translation.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable voltage difference between VL and VCC?
The datasheet specifies VCC must be greater than VL, with absolute maximum ratings of VL ≤ 4.6 V and VCC ≤ 6.5 V. However, recommended operation requires VCC > VL, and the largest tested combination is VL = 3.6 V and VCC = 5.5 V - a 1.9 V differential. Exceeding this may degrade timing margins or increase leakage.
Can ST2329IQTR translate between 1.2 V and 3.3 V domains?
No. VL minimum is 1.65 V per specification; 1.2 V falls outside the recommended operating conditions and violates the absolute minimum VL rating of –0.3 V to 4.6 V with insufficient headroom for logic thresholds. Use ST6418 or similar 1.1–3.6 V translators for 1.2 V interfaces.
Is the thermal pad of the QFN10 package required to be soldered?
Yes. The exposed thermal pad (Pin 6 is GND; pad is internally connected to GND) must be soldered to a PCB thermal land for electrical stability and thermal dissipation. Omitting this connection risks increased junction temperature, timing skew, and potential ESD susceptibility due to floating ground reference.
Does ST2329IQTR support hot insertion or live swapping between powered domains?
No. While the device enters high-impedance when OE is low or supplies are off, the absolute maximum ratings do not guarantee safe operation during live voltage application. Simultaneous application of VL and VCC is required before enabling OE; staggered power-up may cause latch-up or undefined I/O states per Table 4's VI/O limits.
