The SN74AVCH16T245GQLR is an Integrated Circuit (IC) component developed by Texas Instruments. It is specifically designed for signal transmission between different voltage domains in various applications. This IC belongs to the 74AVCH series and is a 16-bit dual-supply translating transceiver.
Key Features:
1. Voltage Translation: The SN74AVCH16T245GQLR facilitates voltage-level translation between two independent supply domains. It supports translation from a low-voltage (1.2 V to 3.6 V) to a high-voltage (1.65 V to 5.5 V) or vice versa, thus enabling seamless communication between different devices with varying voltage requirements.
2. Bidirectional Data Transfer: This IC provides simultaneous bidirectional data transfer functionality. It can act as a buffer, transceiver, or level shifter for serial or parallel data transmission. The 16-bit wide transceiver enables efficient data exchange between different interfaces.
3. Auto Direction Sensing: The SN74AVCH16T245GQLR supports Auto Direction Sensing, which eliminates the need for separate direction control signals. It dynamically detects the direction of data flow and automatically configures its I/O pins accordingly, simplifying the system design and reducing pin count.
4. 3-State Outputs: It offers 3-state outputs, allowing the device to enter a high impedance state to avoid contention with other devices during bus sharing
