VHF transceiver 74LVC1T45

radioIC

The 74LVC1T45 is a single bit, dual supply translating transceiver with 3-state outputs suitable for transmitting a single logic bit across different voltage domains. The A input/output pin is designed to track VCCA while the B input/output tracks VCCB. This arrangement allows for universal low-voltage translation between any voltages from 1.65V to 5.5V. The Direction pin (DIR) controls the direction of the transceiver and in a logic voltage related to VCCA. When a high logic level is applied to DIR the A pin becomes an input and the B pin becomes the output. Conversely the roles of A and B are reversed when DIR is asserted low. The 3-state feature occurs when either of the power supply voltages are zero. This is also an Ioff feature and allows for the output to remain in a high impedance state with both power supplies at 0V preventing and damaging backflow currents and providing power down electrical isolation up to 5.5V as not to interfere with any logic activity on pin A or B.
