The IC component 74ALVCH16600APA is a 18-bit universal bus transceiver with 3-state outputs. It is designed to support both uni-directional and bi-directional asynchronous communication between two data buses. The device operates with a wide voltage range of 1.65V to 3.6V, making it suitable for both 3.3V and 2.5V systems.
Key Features:
1. Voltage Level Translation: The 74ALVCH16600APA is capable of translating signals between different voltage levels, enabling seamless communication between systems operating at different voltage levels.
2. Bidirectional Functionality: The device supports bidirectional data flow, allowing data to be transmitted and received on the same pins. This makes it suitable for applications where data needs to be transmitted in both directions simultaneously.
3. High-Speed Performance: The IC component has a high-speed operation with a maximum propagation delay of 2.4 ns. This ensures fast and efficient data transfer between the two buses.
4. 3-state Outputs: The 74ALVCH16600APA features 3-state outputs, allowing the device to be disconnected from the data bus when necessary. This feature eliminates bus contention issues and enables multiple devices to share the same bus.
5. ESD Protection: The device offers high ESD protection, guarding against electrostatic discharges that could potentially damage the IC and the surrounding circuitry
