What this translator does and where it fits
The NXP NTS0104PW,118 is a 4-channel bidirectional voltage level translator with auto-direction sensing, rated for 50 Mbps data rates. It bridges two independent voltage domains: the A-side runs from 1.65 V to 3.6 V, the B-side from 2.3 V to 5.5 V. The open-drain and push-pull output stages handle I²C, SPI, UART, and GPIO level shifting without a direction-control pin — the auto-direction sensing circuit determines the data flow on each channel independently. The 14-TSSOP package fits into space-constrained layouts, and the -40°C to 125°C temperature range covers industrial and automotive under-hood environments.
50 Mbps — what the speed rating buys you
At 50 Mbps, this part supports SPI and fast-mode-plus I²C. For a 4-channel translator in a 14-TSSOP, that speed is competitive.
Active production — no obsolescence watch needed
The NTS0104PW,118 carries an Active lifecycle status from NXP, with ROHS3 compliance. There is no end-of-life notice or last-time-buy window to track. For BOM planning, this part is safe for new designs and production runs without a near-term replacement risk.
Mounting and packaging detail
Surface-mount in a 14-TSSOP body (4.40 mm width). The supplier device package is 14-TSSOP. Available in Tape & Reel (TR) for automated pick-and-place or Cut Tape (CT) for prototype builds.
