DESCRIPTION/ORDERING INFORMATION

This 24-bit noninverting bus transceiver uses two separate configurable power-supply rails. The SN74AVC24T245 is optimized to operate with V_CCA/V_CCB set at 1.4 V to 3.6 V. It is operational with V_CCA/V_CCB as low as 1.2 V. The A port is designed to track V_CCA. V_CCA accepts any supply voltage from 1.2 V to 3.6 V. The
B port is designed to track V_CCB. V_CCB accepts any supply voltage from 1.2 V to 3.6 V. This allows for universal low-voltage bidirectional translation between any of the 1.2-V, 1.5-V, 1.8-V, 2.5-V, and 3.3-V voltage nodes.

The SN74AVC24T245 is designed for asynchronous communication between data buses. The device transmits data from the A bus to the B bus or from the B bus to the A bus, depending on the logic level at the direction-control (DIR) input. The output-enable (OE) input can be used to disable the outputs so the buses are effectively isolated.

The SN74AVC24T245 is designed so that the control pins (1DIR, 2DIR, 3DIR, 4DIR, 5DIR, 6DIR, 1OE, 2OE, 3OE, 4OE, 5OE, and 6OE) are supplied by V_CCA.

This device is fully specified for partial-power-down applications using I_off. The I_off circuitry disables the outputs, preventing damaging current backflow through the device when it is powered down.

The V_CC isolation feature ensures that if either V_CC input is at GND, then both ports are in the high-impedance state.

To ensure the high-impedance state during power up or power down, OE should be tied to V_CCA through a pullup resistor; the minimum value of the resistor is determined by the current-sinking capability of the driver.
