March 1996
74LVX4245
8-Bit Dual Supply Translating Transceiver
with TRI-STATEÉOutputs
General Description
The LVX4245 is a dual-supply, 8-bit translating transceiver
that is designed to interface between a 5V bus and a 3V bus
in a mixed 3V/5V supply environment. The Transmit/Re-
ceive (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 Z condition. The A
port interfaces with the 5V bus; the B port interfaces with
the 3V bus.
The LVX4245 is suitable for mixed voltage applications such
as laptop computers using 3.3V CPU’s and 5V LCD dis-
plays.

8-Bit Dual Supply Translating Transceiver
The LVX4245 is a dual supply device capable of bidirection-
al 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
LVX4245 is ideal for mixed voltage applications such as
notebook computers using 3.3V CPU’s and 5V peripheral
devices.
TL/F/115403

Applications: Mixed Mode Dual Supply Interface Solution
LVX4245 is designed to solve 3V/5V interfacing issues
when CMOS devices cannot tolerate I/O levels above their
applied VCC. If an I/O pin of 3V ICs is driven by 5V ICs, the
P-Channel transistor in 3V ICs will conduct causing current
flow from I/O bus to the 3V power supply. The resulting high
current flow can cause destruction of 3V ICs through latch-
up effects. To prevent this problem, a current limiting resis-
tor is used typically under direct connection of 3V ICs and
5V ICs, but it causes speed degradation.
In a better solution, the LVX4245 configures two different
output levels to handle the dual supply interface issues. The
‘‘A’’ port is a dedicated 5V port to interface 5V ICs. The ‘‘B’’
port is a dedicated port to interface 3V ICs.
Figure 1
shows
how LVX4245 fits into a system with 3V subsystem and 5V
subsystem.
This device is also configured as an 8-bit 245 transceiver,
giving the designer TRI-STATE capabilities and the ability to
select either bidirectional or unidirectional modes. Since the
center 20 pins are also pin compatible to 74 series 245, as
shown in
Figure 2
, the designer could use this device in
either a 3V system or a 5V system without any further work
to re-layout the board.
