9 Detailed Description

9.1 Overview

The SN74LVCH16T245 is a 16-bit, dual-supply noninverting bidirectional voltage level translation. Pins AX and control pins (DIR and OE) are supported by VCCA and pins BX are supported by VCCB. The A port is able to accept I/O voltages ranging from 1.65 V to 5.5 V, while the B port can accept I/O voltages from 1.65 V to 5.5 V. A high on DIR allows data transmission from A to B and a low on DIR allows data transmission from B to A when OE is set to low. When OE is set to high, both A and B are in the high-impedance state.

This device has Active bus-hold circuitry that holds unused or undriven inputs at a valid logic state. This device is fully specified for partial-power-down applications using off output current (Ioff).

The VCC isolation feature ensures that if either VCC input is at GND, both ports are put in a high-impedance state.

9.3 Feature Description

9.3.1 Fully Configurable Dual-Rail Design Allows Each Port to Operate Over the Full 1.65-V to 5.5-V Power-Supply Range

Both VCCA and VCCB can be supplied at any voltage from 1.65 V to 5.5 V making the device suitable for translating between any of the low voltage nodes (1.8-V, 2.5-V, and 3.3-V).

9.3.2 Support High-Speed Translation

SN74LVCH16T245 can support high data rate application. Data rates can be calculated form the maximum propagation delay. This is also dependant on the output load. For example, for a 3.3-V to 5-V conversion, the maximum frequency is 200 MHz.

9.3.3 Partial-Power-Down Mode Operation

This device is fully specified for partial-power-down applications using off output current (Ioff). Ioff will prevent backflow current by disabling I/O output circuits when device is in partial power-down mode.

9.3.4 VCC Isolation

The VCC isolation feature ensures that if either VCCA or VCCB are at GND, both ports will be in a high-impedance state (IOZ shown in Electrical Characteristics). This prevents false logic levels from being presented to either bus.

9.3.5 Bus Hold on Data Inputs

Active bus-hold circuitry holds unused or undriven inputs at a valid logic state. Use of pullup or pulldown resistors with the bus-hold circuitry is not recommended.

9.4 Device Functional Modes

The SN74LVCH16T245 is a voltage level translator that can operate from 1.65 V to 5.5 V (VCCA) and 1.65 V to 5.5 V (VCCB). The signal translation between 1.65 V and 5.5 V requires direction control and output enable control. When OE is low and DIR is high, data transmission is from A to B. When OE is low and DIR is low, data transmission is from B to A. When OE is high, both output ports will be high-impedance.
