description

This 18-bit universal bus transceiver is designed for 2.3-V to 3.6-V VCC operation.

Data flow in each direction is controlled by output-enable (OEAB and ), latch-enable (LEAB and LEBA), and clock ( and ) inputs. For A-to-B data flow, the device operates in the transparent mode when LEAB is high. When LEAB is low, the A data is latched if is held at a high or low logic level. If LEAB

is low, the A-bus data is stored in the latch/flip-flop on the high-to-low transition of. Output-enable OEAB is active high. When OEAB is high, the B-port outputs are active. When OEAB is low, the B-port outputs are in the high-impedance state.

Data flow for B to A is similar to that of A to B but uses , LEBA, and. The output enables are complementary (OEAB is active high, and is active low).

To ensure the high-impedance state during power up or power down, should be tied to VCC through a pullup resistor and OEAB should be tied to GND through a pulldown resistor; the minimum value of the resistor is determined by the current-sinking/current-sourcing capability of the driver.

Active bus-hold circuitry is provided to hold unused or floating data inputs at a valid logic level.

The SN74ALVCH16500 is available in TI's shrink small-outline (DL) and thin shrink small-outline (DGG) packages, which provide twice the I/O pin count and functionality of standard small-outline packages in the same printed circuit board area.

The SN74ALVCH16500 is characterized for operation from -40°C to 85°C.
