NCA9306GSX

Translators, Level Shifters Overview

The NCA9306GSX is a 2-channel bidirectional multi-voltage level translator manufactured by Nexperia, housed in an XSON8 (SOT1203) package. It supports voltage translation between 0.95 V and 5 V without requiring a direction pin. The device features open-drain I/O ports with low ON-state resistance and supports up to 100 MHz up-translation at ≤ 30 pF capacitive load. It operates within a temperature range of -40 °C to +125 °C.

Translators, Level Shifters Feature Summary

• Bidirectional voltage translation for SDA and SCL lines without direction pins
• Supports mixed-mode signal operation with 5 V tolerant I/O pins
• Low ON-state resistance minimizes propagation delay and signal distortion

Translators, Level Shifters Applications

• GPIO, MDIO, PMBus, SMBus, SDIO, UART, and I²C interfaces in telecom infrastructure
• Industrial automation systems
• Personal computing devices
• Routers and industrial control equipment

Translators, Level Shifters Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix 'GSX' corresponds to the XSON8 package variant as defined in the official datasheet. Confirm that the supply chain documentation matches the manufacturer's current product status and revision history. Ensure design-in compliance with the specified absolute maximum ratings and operating conditions provided in the technical data sheet.

Translators, Level Shifters Selection Notes

Select this component when designing mixed-voltage systems requiring bidirectional translation between 0.95 V and 5 V levels. The absence of a direction pin simplifies system architecture. Verify that the required channel count does not exceed two and that the application environment falls within the specified -40 °C to +125 °C operating temperature range.

Translators, Level Shifters Part Context

This part belongs to the NCA9306 family of 2-bit bidirectional multi-voltage level translators. The 'GS' designation indicates the XSON8 package type, while the 'X' suffix typically denotes reel packaging. Other variants include DP (TSSOP8), DC (VSSOP8), and GX (X2SON8).

Translators, Level Shifters Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements within the same family include NCA9306DPH, NCA9306DC-Q100H, and NCA9306GXX. Verify package compatibility and electrical specifications before substitution.
