TXS0108E-Q1 Npass Bias function

Hello,

What is the purpose of the Npass Bias switch/FET in Figure 11 (pg 16) of the datasheet? The functional block diagram on pg 15 shows that it is connected to a Gate Bias, but if the FET is ON then wouldn't A be directly tied to B, thus no voltage translation is happening?

Thanks,
Dylan Ashley
