PI74AVC164245LAAE - Logic Level Translator from Diodes Incorporated

The PI74AVC164245LAAE is a versatile logic level translator designed by Diodes Incorporated, aimed at facilitating communication between devices operating at different voltage levels. This component is particularly useful in multi-voltage systems where signal integrity and seamless data transfer are paramount.

This 16-bit, dual-supply, bidirectional voltage-level translator is part of the AVC family, which is known for its low-voltage operation and high-speed interface. It is designed to work with two separate supply voltages, V<sub>CCA and V<sub>CCB, which can range from 1.2V to 3.6V. This allows the PI74AVC164245LAAE to translate signals between lower voltage and higher voltage logic levels with ease.

The device features an extensive set of capabilities that make it suitable for a wide array of applications including, but not limited to, mobile devices, computing, networking, and telecommunications. Its bus hold circuitry on the data inputs eliminates the need for external pull-up or pull-down resistors, simplifying PCB design and reducing component count.

The PI74AVC164245LAAE also boasts a high-speed data transfer rate that is compliant with the requirements of modern high-speed interfaces. It ensures minimal propagation delay, which is critical for maintaining the integrity and timing of data signals in high-speed data communication.

Diodes Incorporated has packaged this logic level translator in a space-saving 48-pin LQFP (Low-Profile Quad Flat Package), which is ideal for compact designs where board space is at a premium. The package is RoHS compliant, adhering to environmental standards regarding hazardous substances.

In summary, the PI74AVC164245LAAE from Diodes Incorporated is a high-performance logic level translator that offers a reliable solution for systems requiring voltage level translation. Its dual-supply operation, bidirectional interface, high-speed data transfer capabilities, and compact form factor make it an excellent choice for designers looking to bridge the gap between different logic levels in their digital systems.
