This 18-bit bus transceiver is designed for 2.3-V to 3.6-V VCC operation.
The SN74ALVCH16863 is an 18-bit noninverting transceiver designed for synchronous communication between data buses. The control function implementation minimizes external timing requirements.
The SN74ALVCH16863 can be used as two 9-bit transceivers or one
18-bit transceiver. They allow data transmission from the A bus to
the B bus or from the B bus to the A bus, depending on the logic
level at the output-enable (
or
) inputs.
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 SN74ALVCH16863 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 SN74ALVCH16863 is characterized for operation from -40°C to 85°C.
