74VCX164245
Low Voltage 16-Bit Dual Supply Translating Transceiver
with 3-STATE Outputs
General Description
The VCX164245 is a dual supply, 16-bit translating trans-
ceiver that is designed for two way asynchronous commu-
nication between busses at different supply voltages by
providing true signal translation. The supply rails consist of
V
CCB
, which is the higher potential rail operating at 2.3V to
3.6V and V
CCA
, which is the lower potential rail operating at
1.65V to 2.7V. (V
CCA
must be less than or equal to V
CCB
for proper device operation.) This dual supply design
allows for translation from 1.8V to 2.5V busses to busses at
a higher potential, up to 3.3V.
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 (OE) input, when
HIGH, disables both A and B Ports by placing them in a
High-Z condition. The A Port interfaces with the lower volt-
age bus (1.8V
2.5V). The B Port interfaces with the
higher voltage bus (2.7V
3.3V). Also the VCX164245 is
designed so that the control pins (T/R
n
, OE
n
) are supplied
by V
CCB
.
The 74VCX164245 is suitable for mixed voltage applica-
tions such as notebook computers using a 1.8V CPU and
3.3V peripheral components. It is fabricated with an
Advanced CMOS technology to achieve high speed opera-
tion while maintaining low CMOS power dissipation.

Translator Power Up Sequence Recommendations
To guard against power up problems, some simple guide-
lines need to be adhered to. The VCX164245 is designed
so that the control pins (T/R
n
, OE
n
) are supplied by V
CCB
.
Therefore the first recommendation is to begin by powering
up the control side of the device, V
CCB
. The OE
n
control
pins should be ramped with or ahead of V
CCB
, this will
guard against bus contentions and oscillations as all A Port
and B Port outputs will be disabled. To ensure the high
impedance state during power up or power down, OE
n
should be tied to V
CCB
through a pull up resistor. The mini-
mum value of the resistor is determined by the current
sourcing capability of the driver. Second, the T/R
n
control
pins should be placed at logic low (0V) level, this will
ensure that the B-side bus pins are configured as inputs to
help guard against bus contention and oscillations. B-side
Data Inputs should be driven to a valid logic level (0V or
V
CCB
), this will prevent excessive current draw and oscilla-
tions. V
CCA
can then be powered up after V
CCB
, but should
never exceed the V
CCB
voltage level. Upon completion of
these steps the device can then be configured for the users
desired operation. Following these steps will help to pre-
vent possible damage to the translator device as well as
other system components.

Note 4:
The “Absolute Maximum Ratings” are those values beyond which
the safety of the device cannot be guaranteed. The device should not be
operated at these limits. The parametric values defined in the Electrical
Characteristics tables are not guaranteed at the absolute maximum ratings.
The “Recommended Operating Conditions” table will define the conditions
for actual device operation.
