NTS0104GU12,115

Translators, Level Shifters Overview

The NTS0104GU12,115 is a 4-bit dual supply translating transceiver with auto direction sensing. It supports bidirectional voltage level translation between VCC(A) (1.65 V to 3.6 V) and VCC(B) (2.3 V to 5.5 V). The device features an output enable input (OE), IOFF circuitry for partial power-down applications, and inputs accepting voltages up to 5.5 V. It operates within a temperature range of -40 °C to +125 °C and is housed in an XQFN12 package.

Translators, Level Shifters Feature Summary

• Auto direction sensing enables bidirectional data flow without external control signals
• IOFF circuitry disables outputs during partial power-down to prevent damaging backflow current
• 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 manufacturer marking code 's4' on the component body to confirm authenticity. Ensure the ordering suffix matches the required package type and temperature rating. Confirm that the specific revision aligns with your design requirements before finalizing procurement orders.

Translators, Level Shifters Selection Notes

Select this component when interfacing systems operating at different supply voltages, such as 1.8 V, 2.5 V, 3.3 V, or 5.0 V nodes. It is suitable for open-drain drivers like I2C and may be used with push-pull drivers, though alternative models might be preferred for pure push-pull applications.

Translators, Level Shifters Part Context

This part belongs to the NTS0104 family of dual supply translating transceivers manufactured by NXP Semiconductors. It shares functional characteristics with other variants in the series but is distinguished by its specific XQFN12 packaging and extended industrial temperature range capabilities.

Translators, Level Shifters FAQ

How does the device handle partial power-down conditions?

The IOFF circuitry automatically disables the outputs when either VCC(A) or VCC(B) is at ground level, preventing damaging backflow current through the device.

What is the function of the OE pin?

A LOW level at the OE pin causes all outputs to assume a high-impedance OFF-state, effectively disabling the device.
