1. General description
The NXS0101 is a 1-bit, dual supply translating transceiver with auto direction sensing, that
enables bidirectional voltage level translation. It features one 1-bit input-output port (A and B),
one output enable input (OE) and two supply pins (VCC(A) and VCC(B)). VCC(A) can be supplied at
any voltage between 1.65 V and 3.6 V and VCC(B) can be supplied at any voltage between 2.3 V
and 5.5 V, making the device suitable for translating between any of the voltage nodes (1.8 V,
2.5 V, 3.3 V and 5.0 V). Pins A and OE are referenced to VCC(A) and pin B is referenced to VCC(B).
A LOW level at pin OE causes the output 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.
