Typical Application Schematic
3 Description
The SN54SLC8T245-SEP device is an 8-bit non-
inverting bus transceiver that resolves voltage level
mismatch between devices operating at the latest
voltage nodes (0.7 V, 0.8 V, and 0.9 V) and devices
operating at industry standard voltage nodes (1.8 V,
2.5 V, and 3.3 V).
The device operates by using two independent power-
supply rails (V
CCA
and V
CCB
) that operate as low as
0.65 V. Data pins A1 through A8 are designed to track
V
CCA
, which accepts any supply voltage from 0.65 V
to 3.6 V. Data pins B1 through B8 are designed to
track V
CCB
, which accepts any supply voltage from
0.65 V to 3.6 V.
The SN54SLC8T245-SEP device is designed for
asynchronous communication between data buses.
The device transmits data from the A bus to the B bus
or from the B bus to the A bus, depending on the logic
level of the direction-control inputs (DIR1 and DIR2).
The output-enable (OE) input is used to disable the
outputs so the buses are effectively isolated.
The SN54SLC8T245-SEP device is designed so the
control pins (DIR and OE) are referenced to V
CCA
.
This device is fully specified for partial-power-down
applications using I
off
. The I
off
circuitry disables
the outputs when the device is powered down.
This inhibits current backflow into the device which
prevents damage to the device.
The V
CC
isolation feature ensures that if either V
CC
input supply is below 100 mV, all level shifter outputs
are disabled and placed into a high-impedance state.
To ensure the high-impedance state of the level shifter
I/Os during power up or power down, OE should be
tied to V
CCA
through a pullup resistor; the minimum
value of the resistor is determined by the current-
sinking capability of the driver.
