Product details
Overview
TXU0104QWBQARQ1 from Texas Instruments is an AEC-Q100 qualified automotive 4-bit fixed-direction voltage-level translator with Schmitt-trigger inputs and 3-state outputs. It supports dual-rail operation from 1.1 V to 5.5 V per port, delivers up to 200 Mbps (3.3 V → 5.0 V), provides 12 mA drive strength at 5 V, and operates across –40°C to +125°C for engine control and ADAS domain controllers.
For engineers reviewing the TXU0104QWBQARQ1 datasheet, TXU0104QWBQARQ1 pinout, TXU0104QWBQARQ1 application, or TXU0104QWBQARQ1 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specifications, validated pin functions for WBQA package, confirmed automotive-grade reliability data, and real-world I/O level-shifting use cases in UART, SPI, and push-pull GPIO interfaces.
Technical Context
The TXU0104QWBQARQ1 implements a noninverting fixed-direction translation architecture where A-port signals (A1–A4) referenced to VCCA are translated to B-port outputs (B1Y–B4Y) referenced to VCCB - or vice versa - under OE control. Direction is unidirectional per channel but configurable via supply rail assignment, not internal logic.
Its Schmitt-trigger inputs provide hysteresis (ΔVT = 0.2–1.06 V depending on VCCI) to reject slow edges and noise, while integrated static pull-down resistors prevent floating inputs. The VCC isolation (Ioff-float) feature forces all outputs into high-impedance when either VCCA or VCCB drops below 100 mV, enabling safe partial-power-down operation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Range (VCCA/VCCB) | 1.1 V to 5.5 V per rail - enables interoperability between legacy 5 V microcontrollers and modern 1.2 V/1.8 V SoCs without external biasing. |
| Max Data Rate | 200 Mbps (3.3 V → 5.0 V) - supports high-speed UART and SPI clock domains in infotainment and gateway ECUs. |
| Drive Strength | ±12 mA at 5 V - sufficient to directly drive LEDs, optocouplers, or logic inputs without external buffers. |
| Quiescent Current | 3 µA max at 25°C - minimizes standby power in always-on vehicle networks like CAN FD wake-up paths. |
| Input Hysteresis (ΔVT) | 0.2–1.06 V (VCCI-dependent) - rejects >100 ns noise pulses and stabilizes mechanical switch debouncing without RC filters. |
| ESD Rating | ±2500 V HBM, ±1500 V CDM - meets automotive board-level ESD robustness requirements per AEC-Q100-002/-011. |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood and transmission-control module environments. |
Pinout & Package
VQFN-14 (WBQA) package, 3.00 mm × 2.50 mm body, wettable flank design for automated optical inspection (AOI) and solder-joint reliability in automotive reflow profiles.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A1–A4 | Input (A-port) | Referenced to VCCA; accept 1.1–5.5 V logic; include Schmitt-trigger hysteresis and internal pulldown. |
| B1Y–B4Y | Output (B-port) | Referenced to VCCB; 3-state controlled by OE; support ±12 mA drive at 5 V. |
| OE | Output Enable | Active-high; referenced to VCCA or VCCB; enables/disables all B-port outputs simultaneously. |
| VCCA / VCCB | Supply Rails | Independent A- and B-port supplies; enable bidirectional voltage translation without direction control pins. |
| GND | Ground | Common reference for both ports; thermal pad recommended grounded for mechanical integrity. |
| NC (Pins 6, 9) | No Connect | Unbonded die pads; must remain unconnected on PCB to avoid parasitic coupling or latch-up risk. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Schmitt-trigger inputs | Enables reliable signal acquisition from slow-switching sensors or noisy harnesses without external hysteresis circuitry. |
| VCC isolation (Ioff-float) | Prevents backfeeding and bus contention during power sequencing - critical for multi-rail domain controllers. |
| OE referenced to either rail | Allows direct control from A- or B-side MCU without level-shifting the enable signal itself. |
| Wettable flank QFN (WBQA) | Supports AOI-based solder-joint inspection - mandated for ASIL-B/C automotive production lines. |
| Pinout compatibility with TXB family | Enables drop-in replacement in existing designs using TXB0104-Q1, reducing redesign effort and qualification overhead. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage-level translation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TXB0104QWRQ1 | Auto-bidirectional (data direction inferred from bus activity); no Schmitt inputs; lower drive (4 mA). | Requires active bus traffic to maintain direction; unsuitable for static GPIO or slow-switching sensor lines. | Select TXU0104QWBQARQ1 when deterministic unidirectional translation, noise immunity, or higher drive is required. |
| TXU0204QWBQARQ1 | 2-channel reverse-direction capability (A→B + B→A); identical Schmitt inputs, drive, and WBQA package. | Supports mixed-direction protocols like JTAG TCK/TMS (A→B) and TDO (B→A) on same device. | Choose TXU0104QWBQARQ1 for pure unidirectional use cases to reduce cost and simplify layout. |
Compared with TXB0104QWRQ1, TXU0104QWBQARQ1 offers superior noise immunity and higher drive for static control lines; compared with TXU0204QWBQARQ1, it reduces pin count and bill-of-materials cost where only one translation direction is needed.

FAQ
What is the maximum supported data rate for TXU0104QWBQARQ1 in a 3.3 V to 5.0 V translation scenario?
The TXU0104QWBQARQ1 supports up to 200 Mbps when translating from 3.3 V (VCCA) to 5.0 V (VCCB), as specified in the switching characteristics table under "TMAX – Maximum Data Rate" for up-translation conditions. This performance is validated across the full automotive temperature range (–40°C to +125°C) and applies specifically to the TXU0104QWBQARQ1 variant in the WBQA package.
Does TXU0104QWBQARQ1 support level translation in both directions (A-to-B and B-to-A) simultaneously?
No - TXU0104QWBQARQ1 is a fixed-direction translator: data flows either A-to-B or B-to-A depending on how VCCA and VCCB are assigned and how OE is asserted, but not both simultaneously on the same channel. Direction is determined by supply rail assignment, not dynamic bus activity, distinguishing it from auto-bidirectional devices like TXB0104QWRQ1.
How does the Ioff-float feature function in TXU0104QWBQARQ1, and why is it important for automotive systems?
The Ioff-float feature disables all outputs and places them in high-impedance state if either VCCA or VCCB falls below ~100 mV or becomes disconnected. This prevents backfeeding, bus contention, and unintended current paths during power sequencing or fault conditions - essential for ISO 26262-compliant automotive subsystems where supply rail independence is critical.
Can the OE pin of TXU0104QWBQARQ1 be driven from either the A-side or B-side supply voltage?
Yes - the OE pin in TXU0104QWBQARQ1 is designed to be referenced to either VCCA or VCCB, allowing direct control from the same supply domain as the controlling MCU without requiring an additional level shifter. This simplifies interface design in mixed-voltage automotive modules such as domain gateways interfacing 1.2 V cores with 5 V peripherals.
What is the purpose of the Schmitt-trigger inputs in TXU0104QWBQARQ1, and how much hysteresis do they provide?
The Schmitt-trigger inputs in TXU0104QWBQARQ1 provide input hysteresis (ΔVT) ranging from 0.2 V to 1.06 V depending on the applied VCCI supply, enabling reliable detection of slow or noisy signals - such as those from mechanical switches or long harness runs - without external filtering. This eliminates false triggering and improves system robustness in electrically harsh automotive environments.
