STMicroelectronics 74VCX1632245TTR - Low Voltage 16-Bit Dual Supply Translating Transceiver

The 74VCX1632245TTR from STMicroelectronics is a high-performance, low-voltage, 16-bit dual supply translating transceiver with 3-state outputs. This integrated circuit is designed to be used in applications where a voltage level translation is required between different operating voltage domains. It is particularly suitable for interfacing between low-voltage logic devices that operate at 1.2V, 1.5V, 1.8V, 2.5V, or 3.3V and 5V logic levels.

The device features two separate supply rails (VccA and VccB), which allow translation from and to any voltage between 1.2V and 3.6V on the A side and between 1.65V and 5.5V on the B side. The 74VCX1632245TTR is designed with the capability to drive heavily loaded outputs at high speeds, while maintaining low power consumption, which makes it ideal for battery-operated portable devices and other power-sensitive applications.

The transceiver has a direction pin (DIR) that controls the direction of data flow, enabling bidirectional operation. The OE (Output Enable) pin is used to place the outputs in a high-impedance state, which is useful for multiplexing and bus management in complex systems. This feature ensures that the device can be connected to a data bus without affecting the bus activity when it is not in use.

Manufactured with advanced sub-micron silicon gate and five-layer metal wiring C²MOS technology, the 74VCX1632245TTR provides a robust and reliable solution for data transmission and voltage translation. The device is offered in a TSSOP48 package, which is designed for space-saving on printed circuit boards and is well-suited for surface mount technology (SMT).

With its wide operating temperature range and the ability to support live insertion and withdrawal (hot swapping), the 74VCX1632245TTR is versatile for various applications, including telecommunications, computing, consumer electronics, and industrial systems where a reliable and efficient voltage level translation is crucial.

STMicroelectronics' commitment to excellence ensures that the 74VCX1632245TTR meets strict quality and performance standards, providing designers with a dependable component for their high-speed digital interfacing needs.
