Product details
Overview
TXS0101DBVT from Texas Instruments is a 1-bit bidirectional voltage-level translator with auto-direction sensing, designed for open-drain and push-pull logic interfaces between 1.65V–3.6V (A port) and 2.3V–5.5V (B port) domains. It supports up to 24Mbps push-pull data rates, integrates 10kΩ internal pullups on both ports, and features VCC isolation and Ioff partial-power-down capability. It enables seamless level shifting in mobile SoC-to-peripheral interconnects.
For engineers reviewing the TXS0101DBVT datasheet, TXS0101DBVT pinout, TXS0101DBVT application, or TXS0101DBVT equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, validated SOT-23-6 pin mapping, confirmed ESD ratings (±8kV HBM on B port), real-world timing behavior (tPHL ≤ 6.8ns at 1.8V/3.3V), and precise alternative selection guidance for voltage translation in space-constrained portable designs.
Technical Context
The TXS0101DBVT implements a pass-gate architecture with edge-rate-accelerating one-shot circuits on both A and B ports to enhance low-to-high transition speed without external direction control. Its dual-rail design enforces VCCA ≤ VCCB during operation but eliminates power-supply sequencing constraints during startup.
Each port includes integrated 10kΩ pullup resistors referenced to its respective supply (VCCA or VCCB), enabling direct interface with open-drain drivers while supporting push-pull CMOS signals. The OE input-referenced to VCCA-places all I/Os in high-impedance state when low, with 200ns enable/disable times independent of VCCB voltage.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCCA Range | 1.65V to 3.6V - defines minimum logic-high threshold and maximum safe A-port supply; must be ≤ VCCB |
| VCCB Range | 2.3V to 5.5V - sets B-port logic compatibility with 2.5V/3.3V/5V systems; enables translation to legacy interfaces |
| Max Data Rate | 24Mbps (push-pull) - achievable with <50Ω driver impedance; enables USB 1.1, I²C fast-mode+, and GPIO bridging |
| ESD Rating (B port) | ±8kV HBM - ensures robustness against handling discharge in smartphone/tablet assembly lines |
| Propagation Delay | tPHL ≤ 6.8ns (A→B, 1.8V/3.3V) - guarantees sub-7ns signal integrity for high-speed peripheral handshaking |
| Ioff Current | ≤ ±2µA per port - maintains isolation during partial power-down, critical for battery-backed subsystems |
| VCC Isolation | Both ports enter Hi-Z if either VCCA or VCCB = GND - prevents backfeeding and latch-up in fault conditions |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23-6 (DBV) package: 2.9mm × 2.8mm footprint, 0.95mm max height, lead pitch 0.95mm - optimized for high-density mobile PCBs with minimal board area impact.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VCCA | A-port supply rail | Reference for A-port logic thresholds and internal 10kΩ pullups; must be ≤ VCCB during operation |
| GND | Common ground reference | Shared return path for both ports; required for ESD current paths and noise immunity |
| A | Bidirectional I/O (A side) | Connects to 1.65V–3.6V domain; internally pulled up to VCCA; no external direction control needed |
| B | Bidirectional I/O (B side) | Connects to 2.3V–5.5V domain; internally pulled up to VCCB; auto-senses signal direction |
| OE | Output-enable input | Active-high control referenced to VCCA; drives all I/Os into Hi-Z when low; requires pull-down for power-up safety |
| VCCB | B-port supply rail | Reference for B-port logic thresholds and internal 10kΩ pullups; supports 5V-tolerant interfacing |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No direction-control signal required | Eliminates PCB routing for DIR pin and firmware overhead; reduces BOM count in multi-channel translators |
| Integrated 10kΩ pullups on both ports | Removes need for four external resistors in open-drain I²C/SMBus applications; saves 0.5mm² board area per channel |
| VCC isolation with Hi-Z on supply loss | Prevents cross-rail leakage when one domain powers down - essential for battery-backed RTC or sensor subsystems |
| Ioff partial-power-down support | Enables system-level power gating without signal contention; maintains <2µA leakage during sleep modes |
| NanoFree™ package | SOT-23-6 footprint with die-scale dimensions - achieves same functionality as larger SC70 or SON packages in minimal area |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage-level translation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TXB0101DBVR | Active-push-pull architecture with separate direction control; higher ICC (12µA typical); no integrated pullups | Better suited for high-speed push-pull-only links requiring precise direction timing; unsuitable for open-drain I²C | Select TXB0101DBVR only when direction control is available and open-drain compatibility is unnecessary |
| SN74AVC1T45DBVR | Direction-controlled, lower VCCA min (1.2V); no VCC isolation; no integrated pullups; 500Mbps max rate | Targets ultra-low-voltage FPGA-to-ASIC bridges; lacks B-port 5V tolerance and ESD robustness for consumer end-equipment | Choose SN74AVC1T45DBVR for sub-1.65V domains or where 500Mbps is mandatory; avoid for 5V-tolerant or ESD-critical use cases |
Compared with TXS0101DBVT, TXB0101DBVR adds direction control overhead but improves push-pull timing consistency, while SN74AVC1T45DBVR enables lower-voltage operation but sacrifices 5V tolerance, integrated pullups, and ±8kV HBM protection-making TXS0101DBVT the optimal choice for cost-sensitive, ESD-prone, open-drain mobile interfaces.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable voltage difference between VCCA and VCCB for reliable operation of the TXS0101DBVT?
The TXS0101DBVT requires VCCA ≤ VCCB at all times during normal operation. While VCCA may temporarily exceed VCCB during power-up without damage, sustained violation causes undefined logic behavior and potential output contention. For example, with VCCB = 3.3V, VCCA must not exceed 3.3V; typical use cases pair 1.8V (VCCA) with 3.3V or 5V (VCCB).
Does the TXS0101DBVT support true bidirectional communication on a single data line without external direction control?
Yes, the TXS0101DBVT uses auto-direction-sensing circuitry that detects signal edges on either port to dynamically enable the pass gate in the correct direction. This eliminates the need for a dedicated DIR pin or firmware coordination, enabling true bidirectional I²C, SMBus, or GPIO sharing on one trace-exactly as implemented in the TXS0101DBVT.
Can the TXS0101DBVT be used with 5V-tolerant microcontrollers while powered from a 1.8V supply on the A side?
Yes-the TXS0101DBVT explicitly supports VCCA = 1.8V and VCCB = 5V. Its B port tolerates up to 5.5V, and the ±8kV HBM rating on the B port ensures robustness against ESD events common in 5V system environments. This configuration is validated in TI's SCES638F datasheet for TXS0101DBVT.
How does the integrated 10kΩ pullup resistor on the B port affect rise time when driving a 20pF bus capacitance?
With VCCB = 3.3V and Cbus = 20pF, the RC time constant is ~200ns-too slow for I²C fast-mode+. However, the TXS0101DBVT's one-shot accelerator circuit overrides this passive limit, achieving trB ≤ 7.6ns (typical) at 3.3V/3.3V per the TXS0101DBVT datasheet, enabling reliable 24Mbps push-pull or 2Mbps open-drain operation.
What happens to the A and B pins when OE is held low on the TXS0101DBVT?
When OE is low, the TXS0101DBVT places both A and B pins in a high-impedance (Hi-Z) state regardless of VCCA or VCCB voltage levels. This is confirmed in Section 7.4 of the TXS0101DBVT datasheet. The Hi-Z state persists until OE is driven high, with a guaranteed 200ns enable time (ten) before signal translation resumes.
