8.1 Overview

The SN74LXC8T245 is an 8-bit translating transceiver that uses two individually configurable power-supply rails. The device is operational with both VCCA and VCCB supplies as low as 1.1 V and as high as 5.5 V. Additionally, the device can operate with VCCA = VCCB. The A port is designed to track VCCA, and the B port is designed to track VCCB.

The SN74LXC8T245 device is designed for asynchronous communication between data buses, and transmits data from the A bus to the B bus or from the B bus to the A bus based on the logic level of the direction-control input (DIR). The output-enable input (OE) is used to disable the outputs so the buses are effectively isolated. The control pins of the SN74LXC8T245 (DIR and OE) are referenced to VCCA. For the level shifter I/Os to be in the high-impedance state during power up or power down, the OE pin should be tied to VCCA through a pullup resistor.

This device is fully specified for partial-power-down applications using the Ioff current. The Ioff protection circuitry is designed so that no excessive current is drawn from or sourced into an input, output, or I/O while the device is powered down.

The VCC isolation or VCC disconnect feature is designed so that if either VCC is less than 100 mV or disconnected with the complementary supply within recommended operating conditions, both I/O ports are weakly pulled-down and then set to the high-impedance state by disabling their outputs while the supply current is maintained. The Ioff-float circuitry is designed so that no excessive current is drawn from or sourced into an input, output, or I/O while the supply is floating.

Glitch-free power supply sequencing allows either supply rail to be powered on or off in any order while providing robust power sequencing performance.
