The NLA9306 is a dual bidirectional I2C−bus and SMBus
voltage−level translator with an enable (EN) input, and is
operational from 1.0 V to 3.6 V (V
(V
bias(ref)(2)
).
) and 1.8 V to 5.5 V
ref(1)
The NLA9306 allows bidirectional voltage translations
between 1.0 V and 5 V without the use of a direction pin. The
low ON−state resistance (R
) of the switch allows
on
connections to be made with minimal propagation delay.
When EN is HIGH, the translator switch is on, and the SCL1
and SDA1 I/O are connected to the SCL2 and SDA2 I/O,
respectively, allowing bidirectional data flow between
ports. When EN is LOW, the translator switch is off, and a
high−impedance state exists between ports.
The NLA9306 is not a bus buffer that provides both level
translation and physical capacitance isolation to either side
of the bus when both sides are connected. The NLA9306
only isolates both sides when the device is disabled and
provides voltage level translation when active.
The NLA9306 can be used to run two buses, one at
400 kHz operating frequency and the other at 100 kHz
operating frequency. If the two buses are operating at
different frequencies, the 100 kHz bus must be isolated
when the 400 kHz operation of the other bus is required. If
the master is running at 400 kHz, the maximum system
operating frequency may be less than 400 kHz because of
the delays added by the translator.
As with the standard I
2
C−bus system, pull−up resistors are
required to provide the logic HIGH levels on the translator’s
bus. The NLA9306 has a standard open−collector
configuration of the I
2
C−bus. The size of these pull−up
resistors depends on the system, but each side of the
translator must have a pull−up resistor. The device is
designed to work with Standard−mode, Fast−mode and Fast
mode Plus I
2
C−bus devices in addition to SMBus devices.
The maximum frequency is dependent on the RC time
constant, but generally supports > 2 MHz.
When the SDA1 or SDA2 port is LOW, the clamp is in the
ON−state and a low resistance connection exists between the
SDA1 and SDA2 ports. Assuming the higher voltage is on
the SDA2 port, when the SDA2 port is HIGH, the voltage on
the SDA1 port is limited to the voltage set by VREF1. When
the SDA1 port is HIGH, the SDA2 port is pulled to the drain
pull−up supply voltage (V
) by the pull−up resistors.
pu(D)
This functionality allows a seamless translation between
higher and lower voltages selected by the user without the
need for directional control. The SCL1/SCL2 channel also
functions as the SDA1/SDA2 channel.
All channels have the same electrical characteristics and
there is minimal deviation from one output to another in
voltage or propagation delay. This is a benefit over discrete
transistor voltage translation solutions, since the fabrication
of the switch is symmetrical. The translator provides
excellent ESD protection to lower voltage devices, and at the
same time protects less ESD−resistant devices.

All input pulses are supplied by generators having the following characteristics: PRR ≤ 10 MHz; Z
The outputs are measured one at a time, with one transition per measurement.
For the bidirectional clamping configuration (higher
voltage to lower voltage or lower voltage to higher voltage),
the EN input must be connected to VREF2 and both pins
pulled to HIGH side V
through a pull−up resistor
pu(D)
(typically 200 kW). This allows VREF2 to regulate the EN
input. A filter capacitor on VREF2 is recommended. The

I
C−bus master output can be totem−pole or open−drain
(pull−up resistors may be required) and the I

output can be totem−pole or open−drain (pull−up resistors
are required to pull the SCL2 and SDA2 outputs to V
pu(D)).
However, if either output is totem−pole, data must be

unidirectional or the outputs must be 3−stateable and be
controlled by some direction−control mechanism to prevent
HIGH−to−LOW contentions in either direction. If both
outputs are open−drain, no direction control is needed.
The reference supply voltage (V
) is connected to the
ref(1)
processor core power supply voltage. When VREF2 is

Sizing Pull−up Resistor
The pull−up resistor value needs to limit the current
through the pass transistor when it is in the ON state to about
15 mA. This ensures a pass voltage of 260 mV to 350 mV.
If the current through the pass transistor is higher than
15 mA, the pass voltage also is higher in the ON state. To set
the current through each pass transistor at 15 mA, the
pull−up resistor value is calculated as:

voltages and currents at 15 mA, 10 mA, and 3 mA. The
resistor values shown in the +10% column or a larger value
should be used to ensure that the pass voltage of the
transistor would be 350 mV or less. The external driver must
be able to sink the total current from the resistors on both
sides of the NLA9306 device at 0.175 V, although the
15 mA only applies to current flowing through the

Maximum Frequency Calculation
The maximum frequency is totally dependent upon the
specifics of the application and the device can operate >
33 MHz. Basically, the NLA9306 behaves like a wire with
the additional characteristics of transistor device physics
and should be capable of performing at higher frequencies
if used correctly.
Here are some guidelines to follow that will help
maximize the performance of the device:
• Keep trace length to a minimum by placing the
NLA9306 close to the processor.
• The trace length should be less than half the time of
flight to reduce ringing and reflections.
• The faster the edge of the signal, the higher the chance
for ringing.
• The higher the drive strength (up to 15 mA), the higher
the frequency the device can use.
In a 3.3 V to 1.8 V direction level shift, if the 3.3 V side
= 0.35 V; assumes output driver VOL = 0.175 V at stated current.

Pullup Resistor Value (W)

Nominal+10% (Note 12)
resistor is needed on the 3.3 V side. The capacitance and line
length of concern is on the 1.8 V side since it is driven
through the ON resistance of the NLA9306. If the line length
on the 1.8 V side is long enough there can be a reflection at
the chip/terminating end of the wire when the transition time
is shorter than the time of flight of the wire because the
NLA9306 looks like a high−impedance compared to the
wire. If the wire is not too long and the lumped capacitance
is not excessive the signal will only be slightly degraded by
the series resistance added by passing through the
NLA9306. If the lumped capacitance is large the rise time
will deteriorate, the fall time is much less affected and if the
rise time is slowed down too much the duty cycle of the clock
will be degraded and at some point the clock will no longer
be useful. So the principle design consideration is to
minimize the wire length and the capacitance on the 1.8 V
side for the clock path. A pull−up resistor on the 1.8 V side
can also be used to trade a slower fall time for a faster rise
time and can also reduce the overshoot in some cases.
