74VCX164245
Low Voltage 16-Bit Dual Supply Translating Transceiver
with 3-STATE Outputs
General Description
Features
■ Bidirectional interface between busses ranging from
The VCX164245 is a dual supply, 16-bit translating trans-
ceiver that is designed for 2 way asynchronous communi-
cation between busses at different supply voltages by
providing true signal translation. The supply rails consist of
VCCB, which is the higher potential rail operating at 2.3 to
1.65V to 3.6V
■ Supports Live Insertion and Withdrawal (Note 1)
■ Static Drive (IOH/IOL
)
±24 mA @ 3.0V VCC
±18 mA @ 2.3V VCC
±6 mA @ 1.65V VCC
3.6V and VCCA, which is the lower potential rail operating at
1.65 to 2.7V. (VCCA must be less than or equal to VCCB for
proper device operation.) This dual supply design allows
for translation from 1.8V to 2.5V busses to busses at a
higher potential, up to 3.3V.
■ Uses patented noise/EMI reduction circuitry
■ Functionally compatible with 74 series 16245
■ Latchup performance exceeds 300 mA
■ ESD performance:
The Transmit/Receive (T/R) input determines the direction
of data flow. Transmit (active-HIGH) enables data from A
Ports to B Ports; Receive (active-LOW) enables data from
B Ports to A Ports.The Output Enable (OE) input, when
HIGH, disables both A and P Ports by placing them in a
High-Z condition. The A Port interfaces with the lower volt-
age bus (1.8 − 2.5V); The B Port interfaces with the higher
voltage bus (2.7 − 3.3V). Also the VCX164245 is designed

so that the control pins (T/Rn, OEn) are supplied by VCCB
.
Note 1: To ensure the high impedance state during power up or power
down, OE should be tied to V
through a pull up resistor. The minimum

The 74VCX164245 is suitable for mixed voltage applica-
tions such as notebook computers using a 1.8V CPU and
3.3V peripheral components. It is fabricated with an
Advanced CMOS technology to achieve high speed opera-
tion while maintaining low CMOS power dissipation.
value of the resistor is determined by the current sourcing capability of the
driver.
