Overview
The NLSX4014MUTAG, produced by onsemi, is a 4-bit configurable dual-supply bidirectional level translator. This device is designed to translate logic signals between two different power supply rails, VCC and VL, without the need for a direction control pin. It supports a wide operating range for both high-side (VCC) and low-side (VL) voltages, making it versatile for various applications. The NLSX4014MUTAG features auto-sensing I/O ports, an output enable (EN) input, and high-speed data transfer capabilities up to 100 Mb/s. It is AEC-Q100 qualified and suitable for automotive and other applications requiring unique site and control change requirements.

Q & A
- What is the operating voltage range for the VCC and VL supplies of the NLSX4014MUTAG?
The VCC supply voltage ranges from 1.3 V to 4.5 V, and the VL supply voltage ranges from 0.9 V to (VCC - 0.4) V.
- What is the maximum data rate supported by the NLSX4014MUTAG?
The device supports a maximum data rate of 100 Mb/s for VL > 1.6 V.
- Does the NLSX4014MUTAG require a direction control pin for its I/O ports?
No, the NLSX4014MUTAG features auto-sensing I/O ports that do not require a direction control pin.
- How does the Output Enable (EN) input function on the NLSX4014MUTAG?
The Output Enable (EN) input, when low, disables both I/O ports by putting them in a high impedance state. The EN signal is referenced to the VL supply and has Over-Voltage Tolerant (OVT) protection.
- What is the package type and size of the NLSX4014MUTAG?
The NLSX4014MUTAG comes in a UQFN12 package with dimensions of 1.7x2.0 mm.
- Is the NLSX4014MUTAG suitable for automotive applications?
- What are the power supply guidelines for the NLSX4014MUTAG?
- Can the NLSX4014MUTAG function as a uni-directional translator?
- What are the input driver requirements for the NLSX4014MUTAG?
- What type of output load is recommended for the NLSX4014MUTAG?
