Product details
Overview
TXS0104EQWBQARQ1 from Texas Instruments is an AEC-Q100 Grade 1 automotive-qualified 4-bit bidirectional voltage-level translator for open-drain and push-pull logic interfaces, supporting 1.65–3.6 V on A port and 2.3–5.5 V on B port with no direction-control signal required, 24 Mbps max push-pull data rate, and integrated 10-kΩ pullups on both ports. It enables I²C and 1-wire level translation between main processor and peripheral modules in ADAS and infotainment systems.
For engineers reviewing the TXS0104EQWBQARQ1 datasheet, TXS0104EQWBQARQ1 pinout, TXS0104EQWBQARQ1 application, or TXS0104EQWBQARQ1 equivalent, key selection considerations include its auto-direction sensing architecture, dual-rail supply independence (no sequencing required), ±8-kV IEC 61000-4-2 ESD protection on B port, and compatibility with mixed open-drain/push-pull channel configurations across four independent channels.
Technical Context
The TXS0104EQWBQARQ1 implements a pass-gate architecture with edge-rate accelerator one-shots per channel to enhance low-to-high transition speed without external components. Its gate-bias circuitry enables automatic bidirectional data flow detection, eliminating need for direction-control logic.
Each channel integrates 10-kΩ pullup resistors to VCCA (A port) and VCCB (B port), supporting direct connection to open-drain buses like I²C. The OE input-referenced to VCCA-places all outputs in high-impedance state when low, and requires a GND pull-down resistor for safe power-up/power-down behavior.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| A-port voltage range | 1.65 V to 3.6 V - supports 1.8-V/2.5-V/3.3-V logic domains; must be ≤ VCCB |
| B-port voltage range | 2.3 V to 5.5 V - interoperates with 3.3-V/5-V peripherals; enables mixed-voltage system bridging |
| Max data rate (push-pull) | 24 Mbps - sufficient for high-speed I²C Fast Mode Plus (1 Mbps) and SPI clocked interfaces |
| Max data rate (open-drain) | 2 Mbps - matches standard I²C Fast Mode (400 kHz) and SMBus timing requirements |
| ESD protection (B port) | ±8-kV contact / ±10-kV air-gap per IEC 61000-4-2 - ensures robustness in automotive module interconnects |
| Operating temperature | –40°C to +125°C ambient - qualified for engine bay, dashboard, and ADAS sensor module environments |
| Supply sequencing | No requirement - VCCA or VCCB may ramp first, simplifying power management design |
Pinout & Package
TXS0104EQWBQARQ1 is packaged in a 14-pin WQFN (BQA) measuring 3 mm × 2.5 mm with wettable flanks, optimized for automated optical inspection and high-density automotive PCB layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A1–A4 | I/O (A port) | 4 bidirectional data lines referenced to VCCA; each includes internal 10-kΩ pullup to VCCA |
| B1–B4 | I/O (B port) | 4 bidirectional data lines referenced to VCCB; each includes internal 10-kΩ pullup to VCCB |
| VCCA | Power supply input | Supplies A-port logic and OE input; defines A-side voltage domain and input thresholds |
| VCCB | Power supply input | Supplies B-port logic; defines B-side voltage domain and output drive strength |
| OE | Digital enable input | Active-low tri-state control referenced to VCCA; must be pulled low via resistor during power transitions |
| GND | Ground reference | Common return path for both supply rails; critical for noise immunity in mixed-signal automotive systems |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Auto-direction sensing | Eliminates external direction-control signals and associated GPIO/firmware overhead in microcontroller-based systems |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bidirectional voltage-level translation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TXS0108E-Q1 | 8-channel version with identical architecture, timing, and qualification; larger 20-pin WQFN package (4 mm × 4 mm) | Required when >4 signal lines need translation; same thermal and ESD specs but higher ICCA+ICCB (35 μA vs. 25 μA) | Select TXS0108E-Q1 only when channel count exceeds four; footprint and layout not compatible with TXS0104EQWBQARQ1 |
| NLSX4014MUTAG | 4-bit auto-direction translator with 1.65–4.5 V A-port and 2.3–5.5 V B-port; no integrated pullups; lower ESD (HBM ±2 kV on B port) | Lacks IEC 61000-4-2 certification; unsuitable for exterior-facing modules or high-noise zones without additional protection | Consider NLSX4014MUTAG only for non-safety-critical interior modules where cost sensitivity outweighs ESD margin and pullup integration |
Compared with TXS0104EQWBQARQ1, TXS0108E-Q1 offers higher channel density at the cost of larger footprint and increased quiescent current, while NLSX4014MUTAG trades integrated pullups and automotive-grade ESD for lower unit cost-making TXS0104EQWBQARQ1 optimal for space-constrained, safety-aware 4-signal bridges in ADAS and infotainment.

FAQ
What is the maximum supported data rate for TXS0104EQWBQARQ1 in push-pull mode?
The TXS0104EQWBQARQ1 supports up to 24 Mbps in push-pull mode when VCCA = 3.3 V and VCCB = 5 V, as specified in Section 5.11 of the datasheet. This performance is achieved using internal edge-rate accelerators and is validated across the full –40°C to +125°C operating range. Lower VCCA/VCCB combinations yield slightly reduced rates (e.g., 22 Mbps at VCCA = 3.3 V, VCCB = 3.3 V).
Does TXS0104EQWBQARQ1 require external pullup resistors for I²C operation?
No, TXS0104EQWBQARQ1 does not require external pullup resistors for I²C operation. It integrates 10-kΩ pullup resistors to VCCA on all A-port pins and to VCCB on all B-port pins, as confirmed in Section 7.3.1 and Figure 7-1 of the datasheet. This eliminates eight discrete resistors in a typical 4-signal I²C interface, reducing BOM cost and PCB area.
How is the OE pin powered and what is its behavior during power-up?
The OE pin of TXS0104EQWBQARQ1 is powered from VCCA and is active-low. To ensure all outputs remain in high-impedance state during power-up or power-down, the OE pin must be tied to GND through an external pull-down resistor. The minimum resistance value depends on the driver's current-sourcing capability, as detailed in Section 3 of the datasheet.
Can TXS0104EQWBQARQ1 translate between 1.8-V and 5-V logic domains?
Yes, TXS0104EQWBQARQ1 can translate between 1.8-V and 5-V logic domains: VCCA may be set to 1.8 V (within 1.65–3.6 V range) and VCCB to 5 V (within 2.3–5.5 V range), provided VCCA ≤ VCCB. This configuration is explicitly supported and characterized in Sections 5.6–5.11 for timing, propagation delay, and voltage thresholds.
What automotive qualification level does TXS0104EQWBQARQ1 meet?
TXS0104EQWBQARQ1 is AEC-Q100 qualified at Grade 1, with device temperature range of –40°C to +125°C ambient, HBM ESD Classification Level 2 (±2500 V), and CDM ESD Classification Level C6 (±1500 V). These results are documented in Section 1 of the datasheet and verified per AEC Q100-002 and AEC Q100-011 standards.
