Product details
Overview
TXS0206-29YFPRB from Texas Instruments is a voltage-translation transceiver with integrated 2.9-V/200-mA LDO regulator, ESD protection (±8-kV contact), and EMI filtering-designed specifically for MMC/SD/Memory Stick™ card interfacing between 1.1–3.6-V hosts and 2.9-V memory cards. It features auto-direction sensing, 4-ns max propagation delay (1.8 V ↔ 2.9 V), and 200-mV dropout at full load.
For engineers reviewing the TXS0206-29YFPRB datasheet, TXS0206-29YFPRB pinout, TXS0206-29YFPRB application, or TXS0206-29YFPRB equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, terminal functions, real-world use cases in mobile storage interfaces, and validated alternative options for SDIO host design.
Technical Context
The TXS0206-29YFPRB implements a semi-buffered, auto-direction-sensing architecture for all six SDIO data/command lines (DAT0–DAT3, CMD, CLK), eliminating external direction control. Its edge-rate acceleration circuitry reduces rise/fall times using one-shot triggered PMOS/NMOS drivers (50–70 Ω active impedance) for up to 60-MHz push-pull clock operation.
VCCA powers the A-side (host) I/Os across 1.1–3.6 V; the internal LDO regulates VBATT (3.05–5.5 V) to a stable 2.9-V B-side supply (VCCB O/P), delivering 200 mA while maintaining ≤250-mV dropout. ESD protection meets IEC 61000-4-2 (±8-kV contact) on B-port pins and JESD22-A114-B (2-kV HBM) on A-port pins.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCCA Range | 1.1 V to 3.6 V - supports low-voltage microprocessors (e.g., 1.2 V, 1.8 V, 3.3 V cores) without level-shifting ICs. |
| VCCB Output | 2.9 V ±3% - precisely matches SD/SDIO/MMC card VDD requirements per JEDEC spec; enables direct B-side power delivery. |
| LDO Dropout | 200 mV at 200 mA - allows operation from 3.05 V input, enabling use with single-cell Li-ion (3.0–4.2 V) or regulated 3.3-V rails. |
| ESD Protection | ±8-kV contact discharge (IEC 61000-4-2) on B-port - satisfies mandatory card-edge ESD robustness for handheld/mobile SD slots. |
| Max Data Rate | 60 Mbps (push-pull) - supports high-speed SD mode (up to 25 MHz clock × 2 for DDR); exceeds SD 2.0 default speed timing. |
| Propagation Delay | 4 ns max (1.8 V ↔ 2.9 V) - ensures timing margin for 50-MHz SD clock domains with sub-ns skew control. |
| Package | 20-bump WCSP (YFP), 1.96 mm × 1.56 mm, 0.4-mm pitch - enables ultra-compact placement adjacent to SD card connectors in space-constrained PCBs. |

| Portable Media Player Storage | Set-Top Box eMMC Adapter |
|
Use Scenario: Adding removable SD card support to a battery-powered PMP using a 3.3-V SoC, where board space and quiescent current are critical. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-quiescent LDO + auto-direction translator; powers card from 3.3-V rail and translates bidirectional SDIO traffic with <6.5-μA ICCA/ICCB.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage-translation-with-LDO applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TXS0206-25YFPR | Fixed 2.5-V LDO output instead of 2.9 V; identical pinout, timing, and ESD specs. | Targets 2.5-V SD cards or legacy MMC devices-not compliant with JEDEC SD 3.0+ 2.9-V VDD requirement. | Select only if interfacing pre-2006 SD cards or custom 2.5-V memory modules; verify card VDD tolerance before substitution. |
| SN74AVC4T245RGYR | Quad dual-supply translator only-no LDO, no ESD beyond JESD22, no EMI filtering, no auto-direction. | Requires external 2.9-V regulator, discrete ESD protection, and direction-control logic-increasing BOM and layout complexity. | Use only in non-SD applications (e.g., general-purpose 1.2/1.8/2.5/3.3-V bus bridging) where cost-per-channel is prioritized over integration. |
Compared with TXS0206-25YFPR and SN74AVC4T245RGYR, the TXS0206-29YFPRB uniquely integrates SD-compliant 2.9-V regulation, ±8-kV ESD, and auto-direction sensing in a single 1.96-mm footprint-reducing total solution size by 65% and eliminating 7 external components required by alternatives.

FAQ
What is the maximum supported clock frequency for TXS0206-29YFPRB in push-pull mode?
The TXS0206-29YFPRB supports up to 60 MHz on the CLKB output in push-pull mode across all VCCA operating ranges (1.2 V to 3.3 V), as specified in the Timing Requirements table. This enables full-speed SD mode operation (25 MHz base clock × 2 for DDR) and exceeds SD 2.0 timing margins. The device achieves this via edge-rate acceleration circuitry that reduces effective output impedance during signal transitions.
Does TXS0206-29YFPRB require external pullup resistors on SDIO lines?
No, TXS0206-29YFPRB integrates smart pullup resistors on all A- and B-port SDIO lines (DAT0–DAT3, CMD, WP/CD). These dynamically switch between 4 kΩ (driving high), 40 kΩ (driving low), and 70 kΩ (Hi-Z state), eliminating the need for external resistors and optimizing VOL, static current, and noise immunity without compromising data integrity.
Can TXS0206-29YFPRB power both the B-port I/Os and an external SD card simultaneously?
Yes, the TXS0206-29YFPRB's VCCB O/P pin delivers up to 200 mA at 2.9 V, sufficient to power all six B-port I/O buffers and supply the VDD pin of standard SD/SDHC/SDXC cards (typical card peak current ≤150 mA). The LDO maintains ≤250-mV dropout even at full load, ensuring stable operation from a 3.05-V minimum input.
How does the EN pin affect LDO operation in TXS0206-29YFPRB?
When EN is pulled low, the TXS0206-29YFPRB places all A- and B-port outputs in Hi-Z state and disables the internal LDO-shutting down VCCB O/P output and reducing total quiescent current to ≤1 μA. This enables true hardware power gating for system-level sleep modes, unlike partial-disable schemes that leave regulators active.
Is TXS0206-29YFPRB compatible with Memory Stick™ and SDIO 2.0 standards?
Yes, TXS0206-29YFPRB is explicitly designed for MMC, SD, and Memory Stick™ interfaces per its datasheet description and timing specifications. It meets SDIO 2.0 electrical requirements-including 60-Mbps data rate, 2.9-V VDD compliance, ±8-kV IEC 61000-4-2 ESD on card-facing pins, and auto-direction sensing for DAT/CMD lines-making it fully interoperable with certified SDIO 2.0 peripherals.
