NTS0102GU8,125

Translators, Level Shifters Overview

The NTS0102GU8,125 is a dual-supply translating transceiver with auto direction sensing and open-drain outputs. It provides bidirectional voltage level translation between two independent power domains: VCC(A) ranging from 1.65 V to 3.6 V and VCC(B) ranging from 2.3 V to 5.5 V. The device supports data rates up to 50 Mbps and includes integrated IOFF circuitry for partial power-down applications. It operates within an ambient temperature range of -40 °C to +125 °C and is housed in an XQFN8 package (SOT1309-1).

Translators, Level Shifters Feature Summary

• Auto direction sensing eliminates the need for explicit control signals to manage data flow.
• IOFF circuitry prevents damaging backflow currents during partial power-down states.
• Integrated internal pull-up resistors provide DC current sourcing capability on I/O lines.

Translators, Level Shifters Applications

• I2C/SMBus interfaces
• UART connections
• GPIO expansion

Translators, Level Shifters Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix '125' against manufacturer documentation to confirm tape-and-reel packaging specifications. Ensure the XQFN8 footprint matches the SOT1309-1 outline dimensions. Confirm that the component meets required environmental standards for the target application environment.

Translators, Level Shifters Selection Notes

Select this component when interfacing systems operating at different supply voltages without requiring active direction control. It is suitable for designs needing low quiescent current and protection against backflow during power sequencing. Verify that the external driver impedance remains below 50 ohms to maintain specified dynamic performance limits.

Translators, Level Shifters Part Context

This part belongs to the NTS0102 family of translating transceivers designed for mixed-voltage digital communication. It serves as a bridge between logic blocks powered by distinct voltage rails, enabling interoperability in complex embedded systems where direct connection would cause electrical incompatibility or damage.

Translators, Level Shifters FAQ

How does the device handle power-down conditions?

The device features IOFF circuitry that disables outputs to prevent damaging backflow current when either VCC(A) or VCC(B) is at ground potential.

Is an external enable signal required for operation?

No, the device utilizes auto direction sensing to automatically determine the data flow direction between ports A and B without additional control inputs.
