74LVX3245
8-Bit Dual Supply Translating Transceiver with
3-STATE Outputs
General Description
The LVX3245 is a dual-supply, 8-bit translating transceiver
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; Receive (active-LOW) enables data from 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
Bidirectional interface between 3V and 5V buses
Inputs compatible with TTL level
3V data flow at A Port and 5V data flow at B Port
Outputs source/sink 24 mA
Guaranteed simultaneous switching noise level and
dynamic threshold performance
Implements proprietary EMI reduction circuitry
Functionally compatible with the 74 series 245

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 memory and a standard bus defined by 5V I/O levels.
The device control inputs can be controlled by either the
low voltage CPU and core logic or a bus arbitrator with 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 CPU's and 5V peripheral
devices.
Power Up Considerations
To insure that the system does not experience unneces-
sary ICC current draw, bus contention, or oscillations during
power up, the following guidelines should be adhered to
(refer to Tab l e 1 ):
Power up the control side of the device first. This is the
VCCA.
OE should ramp with or ahead of VCCA. This will help
guard against bus contention.
The Transmit/Receive control pin (T/R) should ramp with
VCCA, this will ensure that the A Port data pins are con-
figured as inputs. With VCCA receiving power first, the A
I/O Port should be configured as inputs to help guard
against bus contention and oscillations.
A side data inputs should be driven to a valid logic level.
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 cycling of these devices. These steps
will help prevent possible damage to the translator devices
and potential damage to other system components.
