This octal registered transceiver is designed for 2.7-V to 3.6-V VCC operation.
The SN74LVC544A contains two sets of D-type latches for temporary
storage of data flowing in either direction. Separate latch-enable
(
or
) and output-enable (
or
) inputs are provided for each register to permit
independent control in either direction of data flow.
The A-to-B enable (
)
input must be low to enter data from A or to output data from B. If
is low and
is low, the
A-to-B latches are transparent; a subsequent low-to-high transition
of
places the A
latches in the storage mode. With
and
both low, the
3-state B outputs are active and reflect the inverted data present at
the output of the A latches. Data flow from B to A is similar to A to
B, but requires using the
,
, and
.
To ensure the high-impedance state during power up or power down,
should be tied
to VCC through a pullup resistor; the minimum value of the
resistor is determined by the current-sinking capability of the
driver.
Inputs can be driven from either 3.3-V or 5-V devices. This feature allows the use of these devices as translators in a mixed 3.3-V/5-V system environment.
The SN74LVC544A is characterized for operation from -40°C to 85°C.
A-to-B data flow is shown; B-to-A flow control is the same except that it uses CEBA\, LEBA\, and OEBA\.
