Overview

The SN74AVC1T45DCKR is a single-channel, bidirectional voltage level translator designed for high-speed data communication between components operating at different voltage rails. It supports a wide operating range from 1.2V to 3.6V on both VCCA and VCCB, making it ideal for interfacing low-voltage processors with legacy logic or higher-voltage peripherals.

Why Choose This Part

This translator offers exceptionally high data throughput of 500Mbps and very low static power consumption with a 20uA maximum standby current. The Vcc isolation feature ensures that if either Vcc input is at ground, both ports enter a high-impedance state, protecting sensitive CMOS inputs.

Applications

High-Speed Logic Interfacing
Bridging signals between modern 1.2V or 1.8V SoCs and 3.3V peripherals at data rates up to 500Mbps.
Directional Level Shifting
Managing signal translation for buses where data flow direction is controlled by a dedicated GPIO pin.
Battery Powered Systems
Utilizing the partial-power-down mode (Ioff) to prevent damaging backflow current when one power rail is disabled.

Getting Started

To implement this part, ensure VCCA is tied to the logic level of the control (DIR) pin, as the directionality circuit is referenced to VCCA. For prototyping, this SC-70 package requires a breakout board or a dedicated PCB footprint with 0.1uF decoupling capacitors placed as close as possible to the VCCA and VCCB pins.
