This 4-bit noninverting bus transceiver uses two separate configurable power-supply rails. The A port is designed to track VCCA. VCCA accepts any supply voltage from 1.2V to 3.6V. The B port is designed to track VCCB. VCCB accepts any supply voltage from 1.2V to 3.6V. The SN74AVCH4T245 is optimized to operate with VCCA/VCCB set at 1.2V to 3.6V. It is operational with VCCA/VCCB as low as 1.2V. This allows for universal low voltage bidirectional translation between any of the 1.2V, 1.5V, 1.8V, 2.5V, and 3.3V voltage nodes.
The SN74AVCH4T245 is designed for asynchronous communication between two data buses. The logic levels of the direction-control (DIR) input and the output-enable (OE) input activate either the B-port outputs or the A-port outputs or place both output ports into the high-impedance mode. The device transmits data from the A bus to the B bus when the B-port outputs are activated, and from the B bus to the A bus when the A-port outputs are activated. The input circuitry on both A and B ports is always active and must have a logic HIGH or LOW level applied to prevent excess ICC and ICCZ.
The SN74AVCH4T245 device control pins (1DIR, 2DIR, 1OE, and 2OE) are supplied by VCCA.
This device is fully specified for partial-power-down applications using Ioff. The Ioff circuitry disables the outputs, preventing damaging current backflow through the device when it is powered down.
The VCC isolation feature is designed so that if either VCC input is at GND, then both ports are in the high-impedance state. The bus-hold circuitry on the powered-up side always stays active.
Active bus-hold circuitry holds unused or undriven data inputs at a valid logic state. Use of pull-up or pull-down resistors with the bus-hold circuitry is not recommended. The bus-hold circuitry on the powered-up side always stays active.
To put the device in the high-impedance state during power up or power down, tie the OE pin to VCC through a pull-up resistor; the current-sinking capability of the driver determines the minimum value of the resistor.

The 14-24-LOGIC-EVM evaluation module (EVM) is designed to support any logic device that is in a 14-pin to 24-pin D, DW, DB, NS, PW, DYY or DGV package,
14-24-NL-LOGIC-EVM is a flexible evaluation module (EVM) designed to support any logic or translation device that has a 14-pin to 24-pin BQA, BQB, RGY, RSV, RJW or RHL package.
The generic EVM is designed to support one, two, four and eight channel LVC and AVC direction-controlled translation devices. It also supports the bus hold and automotive -Q1 devices in the same number of channels. The AVC are low voltage translation devices with lower drive strength of 12mA. LVC (...)
This reference design uses inductive and Hall-effect sensing technologies to provide a human-machine interface. The inductive sensing devices create eight different touch buttons on a seamless surface while the Hall-effect sensor is used to create a magnetic dial that can rotate and be used as an (...)
