This 16-bit bus transceiver and register is designed for 2.3-V to 3.6-V VCC operation.
The SN74ALVCH16646 can be used as two 8-bit transceivers or one 16-bit transceiver. Data on the A or B bus is clocked into the registers on the low-to-high transition of the appropriate clock (CLKAB or CLKBA) input. Figure 1 illustrates the four fundamental bus-management functions that can be performed with the SN74ALVCH16646.
Output-enable (
) and
direction-control (DIR) inputs are provided to control the
transceiver functions. In the transceiver mode, data present at the
high-impedance port may be stored in either register or in both. The
select-control (SAB and SBA) inputs can multiplex stored and
real-time (transparent mode) data. The circuitry used for select
control eliminates the typical decoding glitch that occurs in a
multiplexer during the transition between stored and real-time data.
DIR determines which bus receives data when
is low. In the isolation mode
(
high), A data
may be stored in one register and/or B data may be stored in the
other register.
When an output function is disabled, the input function is still enabled and may be used to store and transmit data. Only one of the two buses, A or B, can be driven at a time.
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.
Active bus-hold circuitry is provided to hold unused or floating data inputs at a valid logic level.
The SN74ALVCH16646 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 SN74ALVCH16646 is characterized for operation from -40°C to 85°C.
