74AXP8T245PW

The 74AXP8T245 is an 8-bit dual supply translating transceiver with 3-state outputs that enable bidirectional level translation. It features two data input-output ports (pins An and Bn), a direction control input (DIR), an output enable input (OE) and dual supply pins (V_CC(A) and V_CC(B)). Both V_CC(A) and V_CC(B) can be supplied at any voltage between 0.9 V and 5.5 V making the device suitable for translating between any of the low voltage nodes (0.9 V, 1.2 V, 1.5 V, 1.8 V, 2.5 V, 3.3 V and 5.0 V). No power supply sequencing is required and output glitches during power supply transitions are prevented using patented circuitry. As a result glitches will not appear on the outputs for supply transitions during power-up/down between 20 mV/µs and 5.5 V/s.

Pins An, OE and DIR are referenced to V_CC(A) and pins Bn are referenced to V_CC(B). A HIGH on DIR allows transmission from An to Bn and a LOW on DIR allows transmission from Bn to An. The output enable input (OE) can be used to disable the outputs so the buses are effectively isolated.

The devices are fully specified for partial power-down applications using I_OFF. The I_OFF circuitry disables the output, preventing any damaging backflow current through the device when it is powered down. In suspend mode when either V_CC(A) or V_CC(B) are at GND level, both An and Bn are in the high-impedance OFF-state.
