74LVX3245 8-Bit Dual Supply Translating Transceiver with 3-STATE Outputs
74LVX3245
8-Bit Dual Supply Translating Transceiver with
3-STATE Outputs
General Description
The LVX3245 is a du al-supp ly, 8-bit tr ansl ating transcei ver
that is designed to interface between a 3V bus and a 5V
bus in a mixed 3V/5V supply environment. The Transmit/
Receive (T/R) input determines the direction of data flow.
Transmit (active-HIGH) enables data from A Ports to B
Ports; R eceive (ac tive-LOW ) enable s data fro m B Ports to
A Ports. The Output Enable input, when HIGH, disables
both A and B Ports by placing them in a high impedance
condition. The A Port interfaces with the 3V bus; the B Port
interfaces with the 5V bus.
The LVX3245 is suitable for mixed voltage applications
such as notebook computers using 3.3V CPU and 5V
peripheral components.
Features

8-Bit Dual Supply Translating Transceiver
The LVX3245 is a dual supply device capable of bidirec-
tional signal translation. This level shifting ability provides
an efficient interface between low voltage CPU local bus
with memo ry and a standar d bus defined by 5V I/O levels.
The device control inputs can be controlled by either the
low vol tage CPU an d core logi c or a bus arbitra tor w ith 5V
I/O levels.
Manufactured on a sub-micron CMOS process, the
LVX3245 is ideal for mixed voltage applications such as
notebook computers using 3.3V CPUs and 5V peripheral
devices.
Power Up Considerations
To insure that the system does not experience unneces-
sary ICC curre n t dr aw, bus cont e nt io n, or os ci l l ati o ns du rin g
power up, the following guidelines should be adhered to
(refer to Table 1):
Power up the control side of t he device first. This is the
VCCA.
OE should ramp with or ahead of VCCA. This will help
guar d against bus cont ention.
The Transmit/Receive control pin (T/R) should ramp with
VCCA, this will ensure that the A Port data pins are con-
figured as inpu ts. Wit h VCCA receiving powe r first, the A
I/O Port should be configured as inputs to help guard
against bus conten tion and oscilla ti on s.
A side data inp uts sh ould be dr iven to a val id logic l eve l.
This will prevent excessive current draw.
The above steps will ensure that no bus contention or oscil-
lations, and therefore no excessive current draw occurs
during the power up cycli ng of these devices. These steps
will help prevent possible damage t o the t ranslator device s
and potential damage to other system components.
