NXS0104PW-Q100J

Specialty Logic Overview

The NXS0104PW-Q100J is a 4-bit dual supply translating transceiver with auto direction sensing, housed in a TSSOP14 (SOT402-1) 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 open-drain outputs, an active HIGH output enable input (OE), and IOFF circuitry for partial power-down mode operation. Qualified to AEC-Q100 Grade 1 standards, it operates within an ambient temperature range of -40 °C to +125 °C.

Specialty Logic Feature Summary

• Auto direction sensing enables bidirectional data flow without external control signals
• IOFF circuitry prevents damaging backflow current during partial power-down states
• Internal pull-up resistors provide DC current sourcing capability on I/O lines
• AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification ensures suitability for automotive applications

Specialty Logic Applications

• I2C bus interface translation
• 1-wire protocol communication level shifting
• Point-to-point system interfacing between different voltage domains

Specialty Logic Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix 'J' against the manufacturer's official documentation to confirm exact packaging and marking details. Ensure the selected component matches the required temperature grade and package variant specified in the design. Cross-reference the datasheet revision date to validate all electrical characteristics and application notes prior to final procurement.

Specialty Logic Selection Notes

Select this component when interfacing systems requiring bidirectional translation between low-voltage logic (1.65 V–3.6 V) and higher-voltage nodes (up to 5.5 V). The auto-direction feature simplifies design by eliminating manual direction control. Verify that the open-drain output type aligns with the target bus requirements, as push-pull alternatives may be needed for other driver types.

Specialty Logic Part Context

Specialty Logic FAQ

How does the device handle voltage differences during power-up?

During power-up, VCCA can be greater than or equal to VCCB without damaging the device. Special sequencing is not required, but the IOFF circuitry disables outputs if either supply is at ground potential.

What is the function of the OE pin?

The Output Enable (OE) pin controls the state of the I/O ports. Setting OE to LOW places all outputs in a high-impedance OFF-state, while HIGH enables normal translation operation.
