NXS0102GTX

Translators, Level Shifters Overview

The NXS0102GTX is a dual-supply translating transceiver with auto direction sensing, designed for bidirectional voltage level translation. It features two 2-bit input-output ports (An and Bn), one output enable input (OE), and two supply pins (VCC(A) and VCC(B)). The device operates within a VCC(A) range of 1.65 V to 3.6 V and a VCC(B) range of 2.3 V to 5.5 V. It supports push-pull data rates up to 24 Mbps and includes IOFF circuitry for partial power-down applications. The component is housed in an XSON8 package (SOT833-1) and is specified for operation from -40 °C to +125 °C.

Translators, Level Shifters Feature Summary

• Auto direction sensing enables bidirectional voltage level translation without requiring explicit direction control signals.
• IOFF circuitry provides partial power-down mode operation by disabling outputs to prevent damaging backflow current when powered down.
• Inputs accept voltages up to 5.5 V, allowing compatibility with various logic families across different supply domains.

Translators, Level Shifters Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix 'GTX' corresponds to the XSON8 package (SOT833-1) as defined in the manufacturer's documentation. Confirm that the required temperature range (-40 °C to +125 °C) aligns with the standard specifications for this part number. Ensure design requirements match the open-drain nature and auto-direction sensing capabilities detailed in the official datasheet before finalizing procurement.

Translators, Level Shifters Selection Notes

Select the NXS0102GTX for designs requiring bidirectional translation between low-voltage (1.65 V–3.6 V) and higher-voltage (2.3 V–5.5 V) domains. This component is suitable for I2C or 1-wire interfaces using open-drain drivers. Consider the XSON8 package size if space constraints are critical. Verify that the application does not require push-pull outputs on both sides simultaneously, as other variants may be more appropriate for such scenarios.

Translators, Level Shifters Part Context

The NXS0102 series comprises dual-supply translating transceivers available in multiple packages, including VSSOP8, XSON8, and WLCSP8. The NXS0102GTX specifically denotes the XSON8 variant. These devices are engineered for point-to-point applications interfacing systems operating at different supply voltages. The series shares core functional characteristics, differing primarily in physical footprint and thermal properties.

Translators, Level Shifters Replacement Considerations

NXS0102DC (VSSOP8 package) and NXS0102UN (WLCSP8 package) are confirmed substitutes within the same family. These alternatives share identical electrical specifications and functionality but differ in package dimensions and pinout orientation. Verify PCB layout compatibility before substitution.
