74VCX164245
Low Voltage 16-Bit Dual Supply Translating Transceiver
with 3-STATE Outputs
General Descript ion
The VCX164245 is a dual supply, 16-bit translating trans-
ceiver tha t is designe d for two way asyn chronous co mmu-
nication between busses at different supply voltages by
providing tr ue signal trans la tion . T he sup ply r ails consist of
VCCB, which is t he hi gh er pot ent i al ra i l op era ti ng at 2.3 V to
3.6V and VCCA, which is the lower potential rail operating at
1.65V to 2.7V. (VCCA must be less than or equal to VCCB
for proper device operation.) This dual supply design
all o ws f or tr an s lat i o n f ro m 1. 8 V t o 2. 5 V b us se s t o bu s s es a t
a higher potential, up to 3.3V.
The Transmit/Rec eive (T/R) input deter mines the direct ion
of data flow. Transmit (active-HIGH) enables data from A
Ports to B Ports. Receive (ac tive-LOW) enab les data from
B Ports to A Ports. The Output Enable (OE) input, when
HIGH, disables both A and B Ports by placing them in a
High-Z condition. The A Port interfaces with the lower volt-
age bus (1.8V
2.5V). The B Port interfaces with the
higher voltage bus (2.7V
3.3V). Also the VCX164245 is
designe d so that t he control pins (T/R n, OEn) are s upplied
by VCCB.
The 74VCX164245 is suitable for mixed voltage applica-
tions such as notebook computers using a 1.8V CPU and
3.3V peripheral components. It is fabricated with an
Advanced CMOS technology to achieve high speed opera-
tion while maintaining low CMOS power dissipation.

Translator Power Up Sequence Recommendations
To guard against power up problems, some simple guide-
lines need to be a dhered to. T he VCX16 4245 is designe d
so t hat the control pi ns (T/Rn, OEn) ar e supplied by VCCB.
Therefore the first recommendation is to begin by powering
up the control side of the device, VCCB. The OEn control
pins should be ramped with or ahead of VCCB, this will
guard against bus contentions and oscillations as all A Port
and B Port outputs will be disabled. To ensure the high
impedance state during power up or power down, OEn
shou ld be ti ed to VCCB throug h a pu ll up re sisto r. The mini-
mum value of the resistor is determined by the current
sourcing capability of the driver. Second, the T/Rn control
pins should be placed at logic low (0V) level, this will
ensure th at the B -s ide bus pins a re con figu red as inputs to
help guard against bus contention and oscillations. B-side
Data Inputs should be driven to a valid logic level (0V or
VCCB), this will p revent exce ssive c urrent draw a nd oscilla-
tions. VCCA can then be powered up after VCCB, but should
never exceed the VCCB voltage level. Upon completion of
these steps the device can then be configured for the users
desired operation. Following these steps will help to pre-
vent possible damage to the translator device as well as
other system components.
