74LVX4245
8-Bit Dual Supply Translating Transceiver
with 3-STATE Outputs
General Description
The LVX4245 is a dual-supply, 8-bit translating transceiver
that is designed to interface between a 5V bus and a 3V
bus in a mixed 3V/5V supply environment. The Transmit/
Receive (T/R) input determines the direction of data flow.
Transmit (active-HIGH) enables data from A Ports to B
Ports; Receive (active-LOW) enables data from B Ports to
A Ports. The Output Enable input, when HIGH, disables
both A and B Ports by placing them in a high impedance
condition. The A Port interfaces with the 5V bus; the B Port
interfaces with the 3V bus.
The LVX4245 is suitable for mixed voltage applications
such as laptop computers using 3.3V CPU’s and 5V LCD
displays.

8-Bit Dual Supply Translating Transceiver
The LVX4245 is a dual supply device capable of bidirec-
tional signal translation. This level shifting ability provides
an efficient interface between low voltage CPU local bus
with memory and a standard bus defined by 5V I/O levels.
The device control inputs can be controlled by either the
low voltage CPU and core logic or a bus arbitrator with 5V
I/O levels.
Manufactured on a sub-micron CMOS process, the
LVX4245 is ideal for mixed voltage applications such as
notebook computers using 3.3V CPU’s and 5V peripheral
devices.
Power Up Considerations
To insure the system does not experience unnecessary I
CC
current draw, bus contention, or oscillations during power
up, the following guidelines should be adhered to (refer to
Table 1):
• Power up the control side of the device first. This is the
V
CCA
.
• OE should ramp with or ahead of V
CCA
. This will help
guard against bus contention.
• The Transmit/Receive control pin (T/R) should ramp with
or ahead of V
CCA
, this will ensure that the A Port data
pins are configured as inputs. With V
CCA
receiving
power first, the A I/O Port should be configured as inputs
to help guard against bus contention and oscillations.
• A side data inputs should be driven to a valid logic level.
This will prevent excessive current draw.
The above steps will ensure that no bus contention or oscil-
lations, and therefore no excessive current draw occurs
during the power up cycling of these devices. These steps
will help prevent possible damage to the translator devices
and potential damage to other system components.
