Product details
Overview
TXB0106RGYR from Texas Instruments is a 6-bit bidirectional voltage-level translator with auto-direction sensing, supporting 1.2V–3.6V on A port and 1.65V–5.5V on B port (VCCA ≤ VCCB), ±15kV HBM ESD protection on B port, 4μA max ICC, and Ioff partial-power-down capability. It enables seamless logic-level interfacing between mixed-voltage subsystems in portable USB-C peripherals.
For engineers reviewing the TXB0106RGYR datasheet, TXB0106RGYR pinout, TXB0106RGYR application, or TXB0106RGYR equivalent, key selection criteria include its VQFN-16 (4.0mm × 3.5mm) package, OE-referenced-to-VCCA control, VCC isolation behavior, channel-to-channel skew as low as 0.3ns at 3.3V, and compatibility with push-pull CMOS-not open-drain-interfaces.
Technical Context
The TXB0106RGYR implements a buffered, edge-rate-accelerated architecture with dual one-shot circuits per I/O channel to enhance transition speed without external direction control. Its auto-sensing operation relies on weak-output drivers that allow external signals to override state during bus reversal.
Each channel features independent A- and B-port referencing: A-port I/Os track VCCA (1.2V–3.6V), B-port I/Os track VCCB (1.65V–5.5V), and OE is strictly referenced to VCCA. The device enters high-impedance state when OE = GND or either VCC rail drops to 0V, satisfying Ioff requirements for hot-plug and partial-power-down systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCCA Range | 1.2V to 3.6V - defines minimum logic threshold and power domain for A-side interface (e.g., 1.8V SoC GPIO) |
| VCCB Range | 1.65V to 5.5V - supports legacy 3.3V/5V peripherals while maintaining VCCA ≤ VCCB constraint |
| Max Data Rate | 100 Mbps at VCCA = 3.3V/VCCB = 3.3V - enables high-speed UART, I²C fast-mode+, and SPI clock domains |
| B-port ESD | ±15kV HBM - provides robust protection for exposed USB-C, audio jack, or display interface connections |
| ICC (max) | 4 μA - ensures negligible quiescent current in always-on system management rails |
| Channel Skew | 0.3 ns (typ) at 3.3V - preserves timing integrity across all 6 data lines in synchronous buses |
| Ioff Support | Yes - prevents backflow current during VCCA/VCCB power sequencing mismatches or shutdown |
Pinout & Package
VQFN-16 package (RGY), 4.00mm × 3.50mm body, 0.5mm pitch, exposed thermal pad (electrically optional, recommended as secondary ground).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A1–A6 | A-port bidirectional I/O | Referenced to VCCA; auto-senses direction; requires ≥±2mA drive strength from external source |
| B1–B6 | B-port bidirectional I/O | Referenced to VCCB; handles higher voltage domains; ±15kV HBM protected |
| OE | Output enable input | Active-high, VCCA-referenced; drives all I/Os into high-Z when low; must be pulled down via resistor during power-up |
| VCCA | A-port supply | Primary power for A-side logic and OE circuitry; must not exceed VCCB |
| VCCB | B-port supply | Primary power for B-side logic; supplies internal level-shifting transistors and B-port ESD clamps |
| GND | Common reference | Single ground plane required; no separate analog/digital GND pins |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Auto-direction sensing | Eliminates need for external direction-control signal or GPIO, reducing PCB routing and firmware overhead in bidirectional buses |
| VCC isolation | Guarantees high-impedance outputs if either VCCA or VCCB falls to 0V-critical for safe hot-swap and power-rail sequencing |
| Edge-rate acceleration | One-shot circuitry reduces rise/fall times (e.g., 0.5ns–3ns typical) to sustain 100 Mbps data rates without signal integrity degradation |
| Ioff partial-power-down | Blocks current flow between powered and unpowered rails, meeting JEDEC JESD78 Class II latch-up immunity (>100mA) |
| Low ICC | 4μA max supply current enables integration into battery-backed real-time clocks or always-on sensor hubs without measurable drain |
Applications
| USB-C Audio Adapter | Smartphone Baseband Interface |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bidirectional level-shifting applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TXS0108EPRMR | Open-drain architecture with stronger pull-ups; no VCC isolation; 8-channel; higher ICC (20μA) | Required for I²C/SMBus open-drain buses; unsuitable for push-pull SPI/UART where TXB0106RGYR excels | Select TXS0108EPRMR only when translating true open-drain signals; TXB0106RGYR is preferred for push-pull CMOS interfaces. |
| SN74AVC4T245RTER | Direction-controlled (DIR pin required); 4-channel; lower ESD (±8kV HBM); no auto-sensing | Requires additional GPIO for DIR control; lacks VCC isolation and B-port ±15kV rating | Choose SN74AVC4T245RTER only when board layout permits DIR routing and ESD requirements are less stringent. |
Compared with TXS0108EPRMR and SN74AVC4T245RTER, TXB0106RGYR uniquely delivers auto-direction sensing, VCC isolation, and ±15kV B-port ESD in a 6-channel VQFN package-making it optimal for space-constrained, hot-pluggable, mixed-voltage push-pull interfaces where direction control overhead or ESD robustness cannot be compromised.

FAQ
What is the maximum supported data rate for TXB0106RGYR at 1.8V A-port and 3.3V B-port operation?
The TXB0106RGYR supports up to 60 Mbps under those conditions, as specified in Section 5.9 of the datasheet. This value is validated across temperature (–40°C to 85°C) and accounts for worst-case propagation delay and channel skew. Performance is maintained without external direction control or timing compensation circuitry.
Does TXB0106RGYR require external pull-up or pull-down resistors on its I/O lines?
No, TXB0106RGYR does not require external pull-up or pull-down resistors for normal operation. Its auto-direction architecture uses internal weak drivers and edge accelerators. If used in open-drain contexts (e.g., I²C), an external pull-up is needed-but TXB0106RGYR itself is not rated for open-drain translation.
Can TXB0106RGYR translate between 1.2V and 5V logic levels?
Yes, TXB0106RGYR supports VCCA = 1.2V and VCCB = 5V, provided VCCA ≤ VCCB is satisfied. Electrical characteristics-including VOHB, VOLB, and timing-are fully specified for this combination in Sections 5.5 and 5.12–5.13, with 20 Mbps max data rate and 8.5ns typical tpd.
Is the exposed thermal pad on the RGY package required to be grounded?
The exposed thermal pad on TXB0106RGYR's VQFN-16 package may be left electrically open or connected to GND as a secondary ground. TI documentation states it is not mandatory but improves thermal performance and ESD dissipation when tied to GND with appropriate solder mask clearance.
How does TXB0106RGYR behave during power-up when VCCA ramps before VCCB?
TXB0106RGYR tolerates VCCA ramping before VCCB without damage. Its internal circuitry places all outputs in high-impedance state until both supplies stabilize above valid thresholds. This eliminates bus contention risk during asymmetric power sequencing common in multi-rail portable designs.
