The SN74AVC32T245ZKER is a specific part number for a 32-bit dual-supply level translator and voltage-level shifter IC (Integrated Circuit) manufactured by Texas Instruments. This IC is part of the AVC (Advanced Very-Low-Voltage CMOS) logic family, designed for digital logic applications where voltage level translation between different voltage domains is required.
Key Features:
- 32-Bit Dual-Supply Level Translator: The IC typically includes 32-bit level translation circuits, which allow signals to be shifted between two different voltage domains.
- Dual Supply Voltage Compatibility: It can operate with two different supply voltage levels (VCCA and VCCB), making it suitable for interfacing between components or subsystems operating at different voltage levels.
- Bidirectional Voltage Translation: This IC can shift signals bidirectionally, meaning it can translate voltage levels in both directions (from VCCA to VCCB and vice versa).
- 3-State Outputs: It provides 3-state outputs, allowing you to control whether the outputs are actively driving signals or in a high-impedance state. This feature is useful for bus sharing.
- Wide Voltage Range: The IC can handle a wide voltage range, typically from 0.9V to 3.6V, making it versatile for various voltage levels.
Applications:
The SN74AVC32T245ZKER and similar level translator ICs are used in various digital logic applications, including:
- Voltage Level Translation: They are primarily used for translating voltage levels between different voltage domains, ensuring compatibility between components or subsystems with different voltage requirements.
- Mixed-Voltage Systems: Level translators are essential in mixed-voltage systems where multiple components or subsystems operate at distinct voltage levels.
- Bus Interfacing: They are used for interfacing between buses or signal lines operating at different voltage levels, ensuring that data can be correctly exchanged.
- Signal Bridging: In systems with diverse voltage domains, these ICs bridge the gap between them, allowing data and control signals to flow seamlessly.
- Low-Power Applications: Depending on the specific IC and its operating conditions, they can be suitable for low-power and battery-powered devices.
