Product details

Auto-direction sensing saves a GPIO

Auto-direction sensing eliminates the DIR pin. Each of the 4 channels independently detects which side is driving. Best for half-duplex buses where one side drives at a time.

50 Mbps — what it buys you

50 Mbps data rate. Supports SPI, I2C Fast-mode Plus, and UART links. For sub-50 Mbps mixed-voltage links, it is a clean drop-in.

Active production, no LTB on the horizon

Standard lead times through distribution apply.

Frequently asked questions

Is the NTS0104GU12,115 compatible with 1.8 V to 3.3 V voltage translation?

Yes — VCCA accepts 1.65 V to 3.6 V, and VCCB accepts 2.3 V to 5.5 V. Set VCCA to 1.8 V and VCCB to 3.3 V for a valid 1.8 V-to-3.3 V translation. Ensure VCCB is at least 0.7 V above VCCA.

What is the maximum data rate of the NTS0104GU12,115?

50 Mbps. That supports SPI up to ~25 MHz, I2C Fast-mode Plus, and standard UART speeds with margin.

Does the NTS0104GU12,115 support push-pull outputs?

Yes — the output type is configurable as open drain or push-pull. Use push-pull for SPI or UART; use open drain for I2C with external pull-ups.

What voltage range does the NTS0104GU12 support?

VCCA: 1.65 V to 3.6 V. VCCB: 2.3 V to 5.5 V. This covers 1.8 V, 2.5 V, 3.3 V, and 5 V logic families.

What is the difference between bidirectional and unidirectional level shifters?

A bidirectional level shifter like the NTS0104GU12,115 can pass data in both directions on the same channel without a direction pin — ideal for I2C or half-duplex buses. A unidirectional shifter has fixed direction per channel (e.g., one side always input, the other always output), which is simpler for signals like SPI MOSI/MISO that never reverse.
