TXB0106RGYR

Translators, Level Shifters Overview

The TXB0106RGYR is a six-bit bidirectional voltage-level translator from Texas Instruments, housed in a 16-pin VQFN package. It utilizes two independent, configurable power rails: VCCA for the A port and VCCB for the B port. The device supports voltage translation between nodes ranging from 1.2 V to 5.5 V, provided VCCA does not exceed VCCB. Key electrical parameters include a maximum data rate of 100 Mb/s, a propagation delay of 14.2 ns, and output drive currents of 50 mA for both high and low states. It operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Translators, Level Shifters Feature Summary

• Features automatic direction sensing to manage bidirectional data flow without explicit control pins.
• Includes integrated Ioff circuitry to disable outputs during partial power-down, preventing destructive backflow currents.
• Provides robust electrostatic discharge protection rated at +/-15 kV.

Translators, Level Shifters Applications

• Bidirectional level shifting between 1.2 V, 1.5 V, 1.8 V, 2.5 V, 3.3 V, and 5 V logic domains
• Partial power-down applications requiring safe isolation via Ioff functionality
• General-purpose low-voltage translation in embedded systems

Translators, Level Shifters Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'RGYR' corresponds to the VQFN-16 package and tape-and-reel orientation when sourcing. Confirm that the manufacturer's datasheet explicitly lists this part number as active. Ensure the supply chain documentation matches the Texas Instruments manufacturing origin to avoid counterfeit components.

Translators, Level Shifters Selection Notes

Select this component when bidirectional communication is required between disparate voltage domains without complex direction control logic. It is suitable for designs needing moderate speed (up to 100 Mb/s) and robust ESD tolerance. Consider the VQFN-16 footprint constraints and ensure VCCA remains lower than or equal to VCCB during operation.

Translators, Level Shifters Part Context

This device belongs to the TXB0106 family of voltage translators. It shares functional similarities with other Texas Instruments bidirectional translators but is distinguished by its six-channel width and specific auto-direction sensing architecture. It serves as a bridge for legacy and modern low-voltage interfaces.

Translators, Level Shifters Replacement Considerations

The TXB0106PWR is a pin-compatible alternative featuring a TSSOP-16 package instead of VQFN. Verify package dimensions and thermal characteristics before substitution.
