1. General description

The 74AVC2T45 is a dual-bit, dual-supply transceiver that enables bidirectional level translation.

It features two data input-output ports (nA and nB), a direction control input (DIR) and dual-supply

pins (VCC(A) and VCC(B)). Both VCC(A) and VCC(B) can be supplied at any voltage between 0.8 V

and 3.6 V making the device suitable for translating between any of the low voltage nodes

(0.8 V, 1.2 V, 1.5 V, 1.8 V, 2.5 V and 3.3 V). Pins nA and DIR are referenced to VCC(A) and pins nB

are referenced to VCC(B). A HIGH on DIR allows transmission from nA to nB and a LOW on DIR

allows transmission from nB to nA.

The device is fully specified for partial power-down applications using IOFF. The IOFF circuitry

disables the output, preventing any damaging backflow current through the device when it is

powered down. In Suspend mode when either VCC(A) or VCC(B) are at GND level, both A and B are

in the high-impedance OFF-state.
