GTL2003PW,118

Translators, Level Shifters Overview

The GTL2003PW,118 is an 8-bit bidirectional low voltage translator from NXP Semiconductors. It provides high-speed voltage translation between 0.8 V and 5.0 V without requiring a direction pin. The device features eight NMOS pass transistors with a common gate and reference transistor, enabling seamless translation between higher and lower voltages. It operates within an ambient temperature range of -40 °C to +85 °C and is housed in a TSSOP20 package.

Translators, Level Shifters Feature Summary

• Bidirectional voltage translation capability between 0.8 V and 5.0 V buses without the need for a direction control pin
• Low ON-state resistance (Ron) between input and output pins to minimize signal loss
• Supports hot insertion and does not require a separate power supply, preventing latch-up
• High ESD protection exceeding 2000 V HBM and 1000 V CDM standards

Translators, Level Shifters Applications

• Bidirectional or unidirectional voltage level translation between any voltage from 0.8 V to 5.0 V
• Translation of low voltage processor I2C-bus ports to normal 3.3 V or 5.0 V I2C-bus signal levels
• GTL/GTL+ translation to LVTTL/TTL signal levels

Translators, Level Shifters Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix matches the required package type, as the GTL2003 family includes both TSSOP20 and DHVQFN20 variants. Confirm that the application environment stays within the specified operating temperature range of -40 °C to +85 °C. Ensure pull-up resistor values are calculated correctly based on the target voltage difference to maintain proper logic levels and current limits.

Translators, Level Shifters Selection Notes

Select this component when interfacing between different voltage domains such as GTL, GTL+, LVTTL, TTL, and 5 V CMOS. It is suitable for applications requiring flow-through pinout for ease of PCB trace routing. Consider its open-drain construction which eliminates the need for directional control signals in bidirectional interfaces.

Translators, Level Shifters Part Context

The GTL2003 belongs to the Gunning Transceiver Logic - Transceiver Voltage Clamps (GTL-TVC) family. This series is designed to provide high-speed voltage translation with minimal propagation delay. The device utilizes symmetrical NMOS pass transistors, ensuring consistent electrical characteristics across all channels.

Translators, Level Shifters Replacement Considerations

Check for other members of the GTL-TVC family, such as the GTL2000 or GTL2002, if different channel counts are required. Verify compatibility with existing board layouts, particularly regarding the TSSOP20 package dimensions and pin configuration.
