General description

The NTB0102 is a 2-bit, dual supply translating transceiver with auto direction sensing,

that enables 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)).

VCC(A) can be supplied with any voltage between 1.2 V and 3.6 V and VCC(B) can be

supplied with any voltage between 1.65 V and 5.5 V. This flexibility makes the device

suitable for translating between any of the low voltage nodes (1.2 V, 1.5 V, 1.8 V, 2.5 V,

3.3 V and 5.0 V).

Pins An and OE are referenced to VCC(A) and pins Bn are referenced to VCC(B). A LOW

level at pin OE causes the outputs to assume a high-impedance OFF-state. This device

is fully specified for partial power-down applications using IOFF. The IOFF circuitry disables

the output, preventing the damaging backflow current through the device when it is

powered down.
