NTS0101GF,132

Translators, Level Shifters Overview

The NTS0101GF,132 is a 1-bit dual supply translating transceiver with auto direction sensing. It features two 1-bit input-output ports (A and B), one output enable input (OE), and two supply pins (VCC(A) and VCC(B)). VCC(A) operates between 1.65 V and 3.6 V, while VCC(B) operates between 2.3 V and 5.5 V. The device supports push-pull data rates up to 50 Mbps. It includes IOFF circuitry for partial power-down applications to prevent backflow current. ESD protection exceeds 2500 V HBM for port A and 8000 V HBM for port B. Latch-up performance exceeds 100 mA per JESD 78B Class II. Operating temperature ranges from -40 °C to +125 °C.

Translators, Level Shifters Feature Summary

• Auto direction sensing enables bidirectional voltage level translation without external control signals.
• IOFF circuitry provides partial power-down mode operation to prevent damaging backflow currents.
• High ESD protection capabilities exceeding 8000 V HBM on the B port.
• Integrated internal pull-up resistors simplify circuit design.

Translators, Level Shifters Applications

• I2C/SMBus interfaces
• UART connections
• GPIO expansion

Translators, Level Shifters Procurement Notes

Verify the ordering suffix GF corresponds to the XSON6 package SOT891 with dimensions 1 x 1 x 0.5 mm. Confirm the temperature range is specified as -40 °C to +125 °C. Ensure the part number matches the exact marking code s1. Check for any specific handling requirements associated with the leadless XSON6 package during assembly.

Translators, Level Shifters Selection Notes

Select this component when interfacing systems with different supply voltages, specifically between the 1.65-3.6 V and 2.3-5.5 V ranges. It is suitable for open-drain drivers like I2C or push-pull drivers. Consider the low quiescent current and high ESD ratings for robust designs. Verify that the required data rate does not exceed 50 Mbps in push-pull mode.

Translators, Level Shifters Part Context

The NTS0101 series includes variants such as NTS0101GW (SC-88), NTS0101GM (XSON6 SOT886), and NTS0101GS (XSON6 SOT1202). These devices share identical electrical characteristics but differ in package type and physical dimensions. The NTS0101GF utilizes the compact SOT891 package, offering a small footprint for space-constrained PCB layouts.

Translators, Level Shifters FAQ

Can VCC(A) be higher than VCC(B) during power-up?

Yes, during power-up VCC(A) can be greater than or equal to VCC(B) without damaging the device. No special power-up sequencing is required.

How does the device handle direction sensing?

The NTS0101 uses an auto direction sensing architecture that detects the signal flow between ports A and B automatically, eliminating the need for an extra direction control input.
