Product details
Overview
TXS0101DCKT from Texas Instruments is a 1-bit bidirectional voltage-level translator with auto-direction sensing, designed for open-drain and push-pull logic interfacing between 1.65V–3.6V (A port) and 2.3V–5.5V (B port) domains. It supports up to 24Mbps (push-pull) and 2Mbps (open-drain), features integrated 10kΩ pullups on both ports, and operates without direction-control signals. It enables level translation in mobile SoC-to-peripheral interfaces such as I²C or GPIO expansion in smartphones.
For engineers reviewing the TXS0101DCKT datasheet, TXS0101DCKT pinout, TXS0101DCKT application, or TXS0101DCKT equivalent, this device is selected for low-voltage bidirectional translation where power sequencing flexibility, VCC isolation, and Ioff partial-power-down support are required in space-constrained portable electronics.
Technical Context
The TXS0101DCKT uses a pass-gate architecture with edge-rate-accelerating one-shot circuits to enhance rise/fall times-critical for achieving 24Mbps push-pull data rates. Its dual-rail design allows independent A-port (VCCA) and B-port (VCCB) supply control, with VCCA ≤ VCCB enforced during operation but no sequencing dependency at power-up.
Each I/O includes internal 10kΩ pullup resistors referenced to its respective supply rail (VCCA for A, VCCB for B), eliminating external components in standard open-drain configurations. The OE input-referenced to VCCA-places all I/Os in high-impedance state when low, supporting system-level power management.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCCA Range | 1.65V to 3.6V - sets A-port logic thresholds and defines minimum interface voltage for controllers like 1.8V/2.5V/3.3V SoCs |
| VCCB Range | 2.3V to 5.5V - supports B-port connection to 3.3V/5V peripherals including I²C slaves, sensors, or GPIO expanders |
| Max Data Rate | 24Mbps (push-pull) - enables high-speed bidirectional communication in compact timing-critical links |
| ESD Rating (B Port) | ±8kV HBM - ensures robustness against handling discharge in handheld assembly environments |
| Ioff Current | <±2µA - maintains signal integrity and prevents backfeeding during partial power-down of connected subsystems |
| VCC Isolation | Both ports enter high-Z if either VCCA or VCCB = GND - prevents leakage paths during brown-out or shutdown sequences |
| Package | SC70-6 (DCK), 2.0mm × 2.1mm - delivers ultra-small footprint for dense mobile PCB layouts |
Pinout & Package
TXS0101DCKT is housed in a 6-pin SC70 (DCK) package measuring 2.0mm × 2.1mm, optimized for space-constrained portable applications. Pin functions are validated per TI SCES638F datasheet Section 4.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VCCA | A-port supply input | Reference rail for A-port logic levels; must be ≤ VCCB and within 1.65V–3.6V range |
| GND | Ground reference | Common return path for both ports; required for proper biasing of internal pass gates |
| A | Bidirectional I/O (A side) | Connects to 1.65V–3.6V domain; internally pulled up to VCCA via 10kΩ resistor |
| B | Bidirectional I/O (B side) | Connects to 2.3V–5.5V domain; internally pulled up to VCCB via 10kΩ resistor |
| OE | Output enable input | Active-high control referenced to VCCA; drives all I/Os to high-Z when low |
| VCCB | B-port supply input | Reference rail for B-port logic levels; accepts 2.3V–5.5V and must be ≥ VCCA |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No direction-control signal required | Enables automatic bidirectional data flow detection-eliminates MCU GPIO overhead and routing complexity |
| Integrated 10kΩ pullups on both ports | Removes need for external pullup resistors in open-drain I²C or SMBus implementations |
| VCC isolation with high-Z fallback | Prevents current leakage and bus contention when either supply rail collapses during power sequencing |
| No power-supply sequencing requirement | Allows VCCA or VCCB to ramp first-simplifies PMIC coordination in multi-rail mobile power architectures |
| Ioff support for partial-power-down mode | Blocks off-state current flow between powered and unpowered sections-critical for battery-backed subsystems |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage-level translation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TXS0102DCKT | 2-channel version with identical per-channel specs, same SC70-6 package, and shared OE control | Used when two independent bidirectional signals require translation in same footprint | Select TXS0102DCKT only if dual-channel consolidation reduces total component count and routing congestion |
| TXB0101DCKR | Active-drive architecture (no passive pullups); higher drive strength (±20mA); requires direction control (DIR pin) | Suitable for push-pull-only systems needing faster edges or higher current, but adds GPIO and layout complexity | Choose TXB0101DCKR only when push-pull speed >24Mbps or output current >1mA is required-and DIR signal routing is feasible |
Compared with TXS0101DCKT, TXS0102DCKT offers channel density without changing board layout, while TXB0101DCKR trades auto-direction capability for stronger active drive and higher speed-making it appropriate only when direction control is available and passive pullup limitations are unacceptable.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable voltage difference between VCCA and VCCB for reliable operation of TXS0101DCKT?
TXS0101DCKT requires VCCA ≤ VCCB at all times during normal operation. While VCCA may temporarily exceed VCCB during power-up without damage, sustained violation causes undefined behavior and potential latch-up. Valid operating pairs include 1.8V/3.3V, 2.5V/5.0V, and 3.3V/5.0V-always ensuring VCCA does not surpass VCCB.
Does TXS0101DCKT support true bidirectional communication on a single data line without external direction control?
Yes, TXS0101DCKT implements auto-direction sensing using internal edge-detection one-shot circuits. It automatically routes signal flow from A to B or B to A based on voltage transitions-no external DIR pin or firmware intervention is needed. This makes TXS0101DCKT ideal for I²C, SMBus, and other bidirectional protocols.
Can TXS0101DCKT be used with 5V-tolerant microcontrollers driving the B port?
Yes, TXS0101DCKT supports VCCB up to 5.5V and tolerates input voltages up to VCCB + 0.5V on the B port. When interfacing with 5V-tolerant MCUs, ensure VCCB = 5.0V and that the MCU's output high voltage meets VOHB ≥ 0.67×VCCB (≥3.35V) and low voltage stays ≤0.15V for reliable recognition by TXS0101DCKT.
How does the integrated 10kΩ pullup resistor affect open-drain timing in TXS0101DCKT?
The internal 10kΩ pullup on each port sets baseline rise time-e.g., with 15pF load, tr ≈ 0.35×RC ≈ 53ns. TXS0101DCKT's one-shot accelerator reduces effective rise time significantly, enabling 2Mbps open-drain operation. For faster edges, external lower-value pullups can be added in parallel-but must be sized to avoid exceeding VOL limits under IOL = 1mA.
Is TXS0101DCKT compatible with I²C Fast Mode (400kHz) and Fast Mode Plus (1MHz)?
Yes, TXS0101DCKT supports I²C Fast Mode Plus (1MHz) under typical conditions: VCCA = 1.8V, VCCB = 3.3V, CL ≤ 400pF. Propagation delays (tPHL/tPLH) remain below 100ns, and rise/fall times meet I²C specifications. System-level validation with actual bus capacitance and pullup configuration is recommended per JEDEC JESD78 latch-up and noise margin requirements.
