NTS0104PW,118

Translators, Level Shifters Overview

The NTS0104PW,118 is a dual-supply translating transceiver with auto direction sensing, housed in a 14-TSSOP package. It supports bidirectional voltage level translation between VCCA (1.65 V to 3.6 V) and VCCB (2.3 V to 5.5 V). The device features four channels with a maximum data rate of 50 Mbps. It includes IOFF circuitry for partial power-down applications to prevent backflow current. Operating temperatures range from -40°C to +125°C.

Translators, Level Shifters Feature Summary

• Auto direction sensing eliminates the need for external control signals to manage data flow direction.
• IOFF circuitry enables partial power-down mode by disabling outputs to prevent damaging backflow currents.
• Integrated internal pull-up resistors provide DC current sourcing capability on all I/O ports.

Translators, Level Shifters Applications

• I2C/SMBus interfaces
• UART connections
• GPIO expansion

Translators, Level Shifters Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific ordering suffix matches the required package type and temperature range. Confirm that the component meets AEC-Q100 automotive qualification standards if intended for automotive systems. Ensure supply voltages remain within specified limits during operation.

Translators, Level Shifters Selection Notes

Select this component when interfacing devices operating at different logic levels without requiring active direction control. Consider the integrated pull-ups for simplified designs. Verify that the push-pull driving capability meets system requirements, as open-drain drivers are also supported.

Translators, Level Shifters FAQ

How does the device handle power-down states?

The NTS0104 includes IOFF circuitry that disables the output ports when either VCCA or VCCB is switched off, preventing damaging backflow current through the device.

Is an external signal required to control data direction?

No, the device employs auto direction sensing to automatically determine the direction of data flow between port A and port B without extra input signals.
