NXB0106PWJ

Translators, Level Shifters Overview

The NXB0106PWJ is a 6-bit dual supply translating transceiver with auto direction sensing and 3-state outputs, manufactured by Nexperia USA Inc. It operates within VCC(A) ranges of 1.2 V to 3.6 V and VCC(B) ranges of 1.65 V to 5.5 V. The device supports data rates up to 110 Mb/s at 3.3 V/5.0 V supplies. Propagation delay is typically 7.7 ns. It features IOFF circuitry for partial power-down applications, preventing backflow current. The component is housed in a TSSOP-16 (SOT403-1) package and functions across an ambient temperature range of -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 electrostatic discharge protection capabilities on both A and B ports.

Translators, Level Shifters Applications

• Voltage level-translation between systems operating at different supply voltages
• Partial power-down applications requiring isolation during power loss
• Interfacing devices or systems with mixed logic levels

Translators, Level Shifters Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix 'J' against official Nexperia documentation to confirm tape and reel packaging specifications. Ensure the selected variant matches the required temperature range and package dimensions. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number with authorized distributor catalogs to validate authenticity and compliance with RoHS directives before finalizing procurement orders.

Translators, Level Shifters Selection Notes

Select this component when interfacing circuits requiring bidirectional translation between low voltage nodes such as 1.2 V, 1.8 V, 3.3 V, and 5.0 V. The auto-direction sensing feature simplifies design by removing the need for separate direction control pins. Verify that the application does not require open-drain configurations, as this device utilizes push-pull outputs suitable for general bus translation rather than specific protocols like I2C.

Translators, Level Shifters Part Context
