74AVC8T245BQ
Overview
The 74AVC8T245BQ is an 8-bit dual-supply translating transceiver designed for asynchronous communication between data buses operating at different voltage levels. It features a wide supply range from 0.8V to 3.6V for both VCC(A) and VCC(B), allowing for flexible bidirectional level shifting between low-voltage logic families.
Why Choose This Part
The device offers excellent ESD protection with HBM exceeding 8000V and CDM exceeding 1000V. Its IOFF circuitry ensures partial power-down mode is supported, which prevents damaging current from flowing through the device when it is powered down. The DHVQFN24 package provides a compact 3.5mm x 5.5mm footprint with an exposed pad for improved thermal and electrical performance.
Applications
Key Specifications
Getting Started
To implement this transceiver, connect the lower voltage rail to VCC(A) or VCC(B) as required, ensuring decoupling capacitors are placed near the supply pins. Direction is controlled by the DIR pin, while the Output Enable (OE) pin allows for 3-state isolation. For prototyping, use a DHVQFN-24 to DIP adapter or an equivalent breakout board since this is a leadless surface-mount component.
