Product details
Overview
TXS0101DCKR 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 features integrated 10kΩ pullups on both ports, VCC isolation, no power-supply sequencing requirement, and supports up to 24Mbps in push-pull mode. It is used in mobile device interconnects such as 1.8V application processors communicating with 3.3V peripherals.
For engineers reviewing the TXS0101DCKR datasheet, TXS0101DCKR pinout, TXS0101DCKR application, or TXS0101DCKR equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, SC70-6 package details, real-world timing behavior under varying VCCA/VCCB conditions, ESD robustness data per JESD22, and validated alternative parts for level-shifting design trade-offs.
Technical Context
The TXS0101DCKR 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 enables true bidirectional translation while maintaining VCCA ≤ VCCB operational constraint.
It integrates 10kΩ pullup resistors to VCCA on A-port I/Os and to VCCB on B-port I/Os-eliminating external components in open-drain systems. The OE input, referenced to VCCA, places all I/Os in high-impedance state when low, with 200ns enable/disable times independent of supply voltage.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCCA Range | 1.65V to 3.6V - sets minimum logic high threshold and powers OE input and A-port internal circuitry |
| VCCB Range | 2.3V to 5.5V - defines B-port output swing and maximum compatible host voltage (e.g., 5V GPIO) |
| Max Data Rate (Push-Pull) | 24Mbps - achievable with VCCA = 3.3V ± 0.3V and VCCB = 5V ± 0.5V, enabling USB 1.1 or I²C Fast-mode Plus signaling |
| Max Data Rate (Open-Drain) | 2Mbps - sustained with 10kΩ internal pullups active, suitable for standard I²C at 400kHz with margin |
| Propagation Delay (B→A, Push-Pull) | 2.5ns typical at VCCA = 3.3V, VCCB = 3.3V - ensures sub-ns timing alignment critical for synchronous bus handshaking |
| ESD (B Port, HBM) | ±8kV - exceeds JEDEC JS-001 Class 3A, supporting direct integration into handheld front-end interfaces |
| IOFF Current | ±2µA max - enables partial power-down operation during system sleep modes without signal leakage |
Pinout & Package
TXS0101DCKR is packaged in SC70-6 (DCK), measuring 2.0mm × 2.1mm with 0.65mm pitch, optimized for space-constrained mobile PCBs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VCCA | A-port supply input | Reference rail for A-port I/Os and OE logic; must be ≤ VCCB; powers internal 10kΩ pullups to A side |
| GND | Ground reference | Common return for both ports; required for proper biasing of pass-gate transistors and ESD protection network |
| A | Bidirectional data I/O (A side) | Connects to 1.65V–3.6V domain; internally pulled up to VCCA; senses direction automatically |
| B | Bidirectional data I/O (B side) | Connects to 2.3V–5.5V domain; internally pulled up to VCCB; responds to A-side transitions without control signals |
| OE | Output enable input | Active-high control referenced to VCCA; drives all I/Os to high-Z when low; requires pull-down for power-up safety |
| VCCB | B-port supply input | Reference rail for B-port I/Os; accepts higher voltages than VCCA; enables translation to 5V logic levels |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No direction-control signal required | Auto-sensing pass-gate architecture eliminates external control lines and timing constraints in bidirectional buses like I²C |
| VCC isolation | Both ports enter high-impedance state if either VCCA or VCCB is at GND - prevents back-powering and ensures safe hot-plug behavior |
| No power-supply sequencing | VCCA or VCCB may ramp first without damage - simplifies PMIC sequencing in multi-rail SoC designs |
| Integrated 10kΩ pullups | Eliminates external resistors on both A and B ports in open-drain applications, reducing BOM count and board area |
| IOFF support | Sub-µA leakage during partial power-down allows retention of signal integrity while core logic sleeps |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bidirectional level-shifting applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TXB0101RGTR | Active-drive push-pull outputs; no internal pullups; requires external direction control or bus arbitration logic | Better suited for high-speed push-pull buses (e.g., SPI) where deterministic direction is known; not ideal for I²C | Select when >24Mbps push-pull performance is needed and direction can be controlled externally |
| PCA9306DCUR | Passive FET-based translator; no internal pullups; requires external 10kΩ–100kΩ pullups on both sides; lower quiescent current (1µA) | Preferred for ultra-low-power I²C applications where static current matters more than board area | Select when minimizing standby current is critical and external resistor placement is acceptable |
Compared with TXS0101DCKR, TXB0101RGTR offers higher speed but adds complexity via direction control, while PCA9306DCUR reduces static power at the cost of two external resistors and reduced noise immunity due to lack of edge acceleration.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable voltage difference between VCCA and VCCB for reliable operation of TXS0101DCKR?
TXS0101DCKR requires VCCA ≤ VCCB at all times during normal operation. The absolute maximum ratings allow VCCA up to 4.6V and VCCB up to 6.5V independently, but functional operation mandates VCCA no greater than VCCB. For example, VCCA = 3.3V and VCCB = 3.3V is valid; VCCA = 3.3V and VCCB = 2.5V violates the specification and may cause undefined behavior or damage.
Does TXS0101DCKR support I²C Fast-mode Plus (1Mbps) in open-drain configuration?
TXS0101DCKR supports up to 2Mbps in open-drain mode per datasheet Section 5.9, which exceeds I²C Fast-mode Plus (1Mbps) requirements. At VCCA = 1.8V and VCCB = 5V, tPLH/tPHL remain within 270ns/102ns respectively, ensuring timing compliance with standard I²C rise-time specifications when loaded with 400pF bus capacitance.
Can TXS0101DCKR be used with VCCA = 1.65V and VCCB = 5.5V simultaneously?
Yes - TXS0101DCKR is fully specified for VCCA = 1.65V to 3.6V and VCCB = 2.3V to 5.5V, with VCCA ≤ VCCB. At these extremes, VOHB remains ≥ 3.7V (VCCB × 0.67) and VOLB ≤ 0.4V at 1mA, satisfying 5V logic thresholds while interfacing with 1.65V-core processors.
How does the internal 10kΩ pullup on the B port affect rise time in open-drain applications?
The internal 10kΩ pullup to VCCB sets the RC-limited rise time baseline. With 15pF total load (per Figure 6-2), trB ≈ 100ns typical - sufficient for 2Mbps. If faster rise is needed, an external lower-value pullup (e.g., 4.7kΩ) can be added in parallel, reducing effective resistance and improving edge rate without violating VOL specs.
Is TXS0101DCKR latch-up immune per JESD78 Class II?
Yes - TXS0101DCKR exceeds 100mA latch-up immunity per JESD78 Class II, verified during qualification testing. This ensures robustness against transient current surges caused by I/O contention or supply glitches in densely packed mobile PCB layouts.
