Product details
Overview
TXS0102DQER from Texas Instruments is a 2-bit bidirectional voltage-level translator with auto-direction sensing, enabling seamless logic-level translation between 1.65V–3.6V (A port) and 2.3V–5.5V (B port) domains without direction-control signals. It supports up to 24Mbps push-pull and 2Mbps open-drain data rates, integrates 10kΩ on-chip pull-ups per I/O, and features VCC isolation and Ioff partial-power-down capability - deployed in I²C/SMBus, UART, and GPIO interconnects between mixed-voltage microcontrollers and peripherals.
For engineers reviewing the TXS0102DQER datasheet, TXS0102DQER pinout, TXS0102DQER application, or TXS0102DQER equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specifications, package-specific pin functions, real-world interface constraints (e.g., OE timing, edge-rate acceleration behavior), thermal metrics for DQE (X2SON-8), and validated alternatives for voltage translation in space-constrained embedded systems.
Technical Context
The TXS0102DQER employs a pass-gate architecture with integrated one-shot edge-rate accelerators that detect rising edges and temporarily boost drive strength (to ~50–70Ω) for ~30ns, enabling high-speed bidirectional translation without external direction control. Its dual-rail design enforces VCCA ≤ VCCB and uses gate-bias circuitry referenced to the lower-voltage rail to maintain conduction in both directions.
Each channel operates autonomously: A1/A2 are referenced to VCCA and include internal 10kΩ pull-ups to VCCA; B1/B2 are referenced to VCCB with matching 10kΩ pull-ups to VCCB. The OE input (referenced to VCCA) disables all I/Os into high-impedance state with 200ns enable/disable times, and VCC isolation ensures Hi-Z operation if either supply drops to GND.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCCA Range | 1.65V to 3.6V - defines minimum logic-high threshold and power domain for A-port I/Os and OE input |
| VCCB Range | 2.3V to 5.5V - sets B-port logic compatibility and must be ≥ VCCA; enables direct interfacing with 3.3V/5V peripherals |
| Max Data Rate | 24Mbps (push-pull), 2Mbps (open-drain) - determines usable bandwidth for I²C clock stretching, UART baud rates, or GPIO toggling |
| Propagation Delay | 1.3–6.8ns (tPHL/tPLH, depending on VCCA/VCCB and mode) - impacts timing margin in high-speed synchronous interfaces |
| Output Enable Time | 200ns (ten) - minimum delay after OE goes high before valid signal translation resumes |
| ESD Rating (B Port) | ±8kV HBM - supports robust handling in board assembly and field-replaceable module environments |
| Thermal Resistance (RθJA) | 229.6°C/W (DQE package) - informs derating requirements under sustained 14.4µA combined supply current |
Pinout & Package
TXS0102DQER is packaged in an 8-pin X2SON (DQE) measuring 1.4mm × 1mm, optimized for ultra-compact PCB layouts. The package has no exposed pad and requires solder paste stencil optimization for reliable reflow.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A1 | I/O (A-port) | Bidirectional signal referenced to VCCA; includes internal 10kΩ pull-up to VCCA |
| A2 | I/O (A-port) | Second bidirectional A-port channel with identical VCCA-referenced behavior as A1 |
| B1 | I/O (B-port) | Bidirectional signal referenced to VCCB; includes internal 10kΩ pull-up to VCCB |
| B2 | I/O (B-port) | Second bidirectional B-port channel with identical VCCB-referenced behavior as B1 |
| GND | Ground | Common reference for both power domains; must be low-inductance connection to minimize noise coupling |
| OE | Input (active-high) | Enable control referenced to VCCA; pulling low places all I/Os in high-impedance state |
| VCCA | Power (A-port) | Supplies A-side logic and OE input; must be ≤ VCCB and within 1.65V–3.6V range |
| VCCB | Power (B-port) | Supplies B-side logic; sets B-port output voltage levels and must be ≥2.3V and ≤5.5V |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No direction-control signal required | Auto-direction sensing via pass-gate biasing eliminates need for MCU GPIO or timing-critical control lines |
| Integrated 10kΩ pull-ups | Eliminates external resistors for I²C/SMBus open-drain operation; reduces BOM count and layout area |
| VCC isolation | Automatic Hi-Z on both ports if either VCCA or VCCB falls to GND - prevents back-powering and latch-up during power sequencing |
| Edge-rate acceleration | One-shot circuitry reduces rise time by boosting drive strength for ~30ns, sustaining 24Mbps push-pull performance |
| Ioff partial-power-down | Leakage < ±2µA per port when unpowered - enables safe hot-insertion and battery-backed system states |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bidirectional voltage translation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TXS0104DQER | 4-channel version in same DQE package; identical per-channel specs but higher total supply current (ICCA+ICCB = 22.4µA typical) | Required when translating four signals (e.g., I²C + two GPIOs); not drop-in for 2-signal designs due to pinout mismatch | Select TXS0104DQER only when additional channels are needed - avoids redesign but increases quiescent current |
| PCA9306DCUR | 2-channel translator with separate DIR pin; no edge-rate accelerator; max 2Mbps (open-drain only); requires external pull-ups | Suitable for low-speed I²C where timing margin is ample; lacks push-pull support and auto-direction capability | Choose PCA9306DCUR for cost-sensitive, low-bandwidth applications where direction control is acceptable and board space allows external resistors |
Compared with TXS0102DQER, TXS0104DQER offers scalability at the cost of higher static current, while PCA9306DCUR trades performance and integration for lower unit cost and simpler biasing - making TXS0102DQER optimal for space-constrained, high-speed mixed-voltage GPIO and I²C bridging.

FAQ
What is the maximum supported data rate for TXS0102DQER in push-pull mode?
The TXS0102DQER supports up to 24Mbps in push-pull mode when operating with VCCA = 1.8V and VCCB = 5V, as specified in Section 5.9 of the datasheet. This rating assumes proper PCB layout, load capacitance ≤15pF, and driver output impedance <50Ω. At lower VCCA/VCCB combinations (e.g., 3.3V/3.3V), the maximum rate is 23Mbps. TXS0102DQER achieves this via integrated one-shot edge-rate acceleration circuitry.
Does TXS0102DQER require external pull-up resistors for I²C operation?
No, TXS0102DQER includes internal 10kΩ pull-up resistors on both A-port (to VCCA) and B-port (to VCCB) I/Os, eliminating the need for external resistors in standard I²C/SMBus open-drain configurations. These internal pull-ups are automatically disabled when OE is low. TXS0102DQER thus simplifies I²C bus design while maintaining compatibility with standard protocol timing requirements.
Can TXS0102DQER operate with VCCA > VCCB?
No, TXS0102DQER requires VCCA ≤ VCCB per datasheet Section 5.3 and Figure 7-1 architecture. If VCCA exceeds VCCB, the pass-gate biasing fails and translation becomes unreliable or nonfunctional. Valid combinations include 1.8V/3.3V, 2.5V/5V, and 3.3V/5V - but never 3.3V/2.5V. TXS0102DQER enforces this constraint through its internal gate-bias network referenced to the lower supply rail.
What is the function of the OE pin on TXS0102DQER, and how should it be handled during power-up?
The OE (output enable) pin on TXS0102DQER is an active-high input referenced to VCCA that places all I/Os in high-impedance state when driven low. To ensure Hi-Z during power-up, tie OE to GND via a pulldown resistor (e.g., 10kΩ). TXS0102DQER requires 200ns after OE rises to VCCA before valid translation begins - critical for synchronizing with power-rail ramp rates in multi-rail systems.
Is TXS0102DQER compatible with 1.2V logic systems?
No, TXS0102DQER does not support 1.2V logic. Its A-port minimum supply is 1.65V (VCCA), and B-port minimum is 2.3V (VCCB). Attempting to operate below these thresholds violates recommended conditions and risks undefined behavior, increased VOL, or failure to recognize logic-high inputs. For 1.2V interfaces, consider TI's TXS0108E or similar 1.2V-compatible translators - TXS0102DQER is strictly for 1.65V–3.6V / 2.3V–5.5V translation.
