Product details
Overview
TC7QPB9306FK from Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation is a 4-bit dual-supply bus switch enabling bidirectional level translation between 1.65–5.0 V (VCCA) and 2.3–5.5 V (VCCB) domains. It features active-high OE control, 8.0 Ω max ON-resistance at 3.0 V/4.5 V, 5.5 V-tolerant OE input, and VSSOP14 packaging. It is used in mixed-voltage I²C, SMBus, and GPIO interface bridging where voltage domain isolation and low-power switching are required.
For engineers reviewing the TC7QPB9306FK datasheet, TC7QPB9306FK pinout, TC7QPB9306FK application, or TC7QPB9306FK equivalent, key selection criteria include VCCA/VCCB voltage pairing constraints, OE polarity compatibility, ON-resistance impact on signal integrity, level-shift pull-up resistor configuration, and VSSOP14 thermal and layout requirements.
Technical Context
The TC7QPB9306FK implements four independent n-channel MOSFET switches with common active-high Output Enable (OE), allowing simultaneous on/off control of all channels. Its dual-supply architecture supports asymmetric rail operation where VCCA must be ≤ VCCB per datasheet Note 1, enabling translation from lower to higher voltages (e.g., 1.8 V → 3.3 V or 2.5 V → 5.0 V) when external pull-ups are applied to respective rails.
Level-shifting functionality relies on external pull-up resistors tied to VCCA or VCCB - no internal biasing is provided. The device exhibits <1.2 ns propagation delay (tPLH/tPHL) under 3.3 V/5.0 V conditions and maintains <±1.0 µA OFF-state leakage across full operating temperature (−40 °C to +85 °C), ensuring minimal standby power draw in battery-sensitive systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCCA Range | 1.65 V to 5.0 V: Sets low-side logic domain; must be ≤ VCCB for safe operation. |
| VCCB Range | 2.3 V to 5.5 V: Sets high-side logic domain; enables interface with 3.3 V or 5.0 V peripherals. |
| RON (Max) | 8.0 Ω @ VCCA=3.0 V, VCCB=4.5 V: Limits voltage drop and RC delay under 30 mA load; critical for rise/fall time budgets. |
| OE Polarity | Active-High: OE=High enables pass-through; OE=Low isolates A/B ports - matches standard enable logic in many controllers. |
| OE Voltage Tolerance | 5.5 V tolerant: Allows direct connection to 5 V control signals without level shifting, simplifying host interface design. |
| IOFF (Max) | ±1.0 µA @ −40 °C to +85 °C: Ensures negligible leakage current during power-down, preserving battery life in portable systems. |
| Capacitance (CI/O ON) | 14 pF typical: Defines high-frequency bandwidth limit and loading on driving source; impacts signal integrity above ~100 MHz. |

| 8 (GND) | Ground reference | Common return for both supplies; must be low-impedance and star-connected to minimize noise coupling. |
| 9 (A4) | Low-voltage side data input/output | Fourth and final channel; completes 4-bit bus interface capability. |
| 10 (B4) | High-voltage side data input/output | Fourth and final channel; pairs with A4 for full 4-bit bidirectional translation. |
| 11 (VCCA) | Low-voltage supply | Power rail for A-side logic; must be ≤ VCCB and within 1.65–5.0 V range. |
| 12 (VCCB) | High-voltage supply | Power rail for B-side logic; must be ≥ VCCA and within 2.3–5.5 V range. |

| GPIO Voltage Domain Isolation | Low-Power Sensor Hub Interface |
|
Use Scenario: Routing 4 GPIOs from a 3.3 V MCU to control 5.0 V actuators in a smart home hub, requiring isolation during MCU sleep. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Active-high controlled switch enabling/disabling GPIO paths; OE driven by MCU GPIO to gate power to downstream circuitry. Use Value: Reduces system standby current by blocking leakage through unpowered 5 V peripherals; <±1.0 µA IOFF ensures <100 nA total quiescent draw across all four channels. |

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-voltage domain translator with minimal capacitance (14 pF CI/O ON); preserves signal edge rates for fast ADC sampling triggers. Use Value: VSSOP14 size fits tight PCB real estate; 8.0 Ω RON ensures <25 mV voltage drop at 3 mA sensor output drive, maintaining ADC reference accuracy. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-supply bus switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74AVC4T245RTER | Active-low OE; supports wider VCCA (1.2–3.6 V) and VCCB (1.2–3.6 V); 3.7 Ω RON typical; includes auto-direction sensing. | Requires inverted OE logic; lacks 5 V tolerance on control pins; better suited for 1.8 V ↔ 3.3 V only, not 2.5 V ↔ 5.0 V. | Select when direction detection is needed and VCCB ≤ 3.6 V; avoid if 5 V OE signaling or >3.6 V VCCB is required. |
| TXS0104EPWR | Auto-bidirectional; no OE pin; supports 1.2–3.6 V ↔ 1.65–5.5 V; 12 Ω RON typical; higher IOFF (±10 µA). | Eliminates OE routing but cannot force unidirectional blocking; less suitable for deterministic isolation during MCU reset. | Select for simple glueless translation where direction is always determined by driving side; avoid when guaranteed bus isolation during OE deassertion is mandatory. |
Compared with SN74AVC4T245RTER and TXS0104EPWR, the TC7QPB9306FK offers guaranteed 5.5 V-tolerant OE and explicit active-high control ideal for systems requiring fail-safe isolation and 5 V-compatible enable signaling - making it preferable in industrial and telecom applications with mixed 3.3 V/5.0 V infrastructure.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable voltage difference between VCCA and VCCB for TC7QPB9306FK?
The TC7QPB9306FK requires VCCA ≤ VCCB per datasheet Note 1 in Section 10. While absolute maximum ratings allow both supplies up to 7.0 V, the functional operating constraint mandates that VCCA must not exceed VCCB. For example, 3.3 V on VCCA and 5.0 V on VCCB is valid; 5.0 V on VCCA and 3.3 V on VCCB violates specification and risks malfunction. This constraint ensures proper MOSFET channel operation and prevents reverse current flow.
Can TC7QPB9306FK translate signals from 5.0 V down to 1.8 V?
Yes, the TC7QPB9306FK supports translating down (e.g., 5.0 V → 1.8 V) when VCCB = 5.0 V and VCCA = 1.8 V, provided external pull-up resistors are connected from each Bn pin to VCCB and from each An pin to VCCA. The device itself does not generate level-shifted voltages - it passes signals bidirectionally, relying on external pull-ups to establish logic thresholds on each side. VOHD test data confirms valid low-to-high translation under these conditions.
Is TC7QPB9306FK pin-compatible with TC7QPB9307FK?
No, TC7QPB9306FK and TC7QPB9307FK are not pin-compatible in terms of function despite identical pinouts. Both share the same VSSOP14 package and terminal mapping, but TC7QPB9307FK has active-low OE while TC7QPB9306FK has active-high OE. Swapping them without inverting the OE signal will invert switch behavior - e.g., OE = High would disable TC7QPB9307FK instead of enabling it. PCB layout is identical, but firmware/control logic must be adapted.
What is the recommended pull-up resistor value for TC7QPB9306FK level-shifting circuits?
Toshiba does not specify a single optimal pull-up value for TC7QPB9306FK, as it depends on bus capacitance, speed requirements, and drive strength. Typical values range from 1 kΩ to 10 kΩ. Lower values (e.g., 1–2.2 kΩ) improve rise time but increase static current; higher values (e.g., 4.7–10 kΩ) reduce power but slow edges. For I²C Fast-mode Plus (1 MHz), 2.2 kΩ pull-ups to VCCA and VCCB are commonly used and validated in application notes for similar Toshiba bus switches.
Does TC7QPB9306FK require decoupling capacitors on VCCA and VCCB?
Yes, TC7QPB9306FK requires local decoupling: one 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor placed as close as possible to each supply pin (VCCA and VCCB) relative to GND. This mitigates switching noise and transient current demands during channel turn-on/off. Additional bulk capacitance (e.g., 1–10 µF tantalum or ceramic) may be added near the device if multiple switches share rails or if PCB layout introduces impedance. Failure to decouple can cause supply droop and erratic switching behavior.
