74ALVC16244APAG Application Field and Working Principle

The 74ALVC16244APAG is a quad bidirectional translative device that receives low voltage TTL (transistor-transistor logic) levels and translates them to 5V logic levels. This device uses advanced Schottky TTL (SSTL) technology to provide higher performance and improved power savings. This device is intended for logic level conversions from 0.8V to 3.3V and from 3.3V to 0.8V in applications requiring data rates of up to >25MHz. The device is ideal for applications needing to convert the signals between 5V and 3.3V where the devices must be compatible.

Logic - Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers

The 74ALVC16244APAG is an example of transceivers, which transmit and receive data. Transceivers can be classified into two groups: unidirectional and bidirectional. A unidirectional transceiver sends data only in one direction and the receiver can only receive it. A bidirectional transceiver is able to send and receive data in both directions.The 74ALVC16244APAG is a bidirectional transceiver device which operates over a wide voltage range. It provides full-duplex operation while allowing the output voltage of one device to be independent of the voltage level of the other. It also provides built-in voltage level compatibility between 5V and 3.3V logic. It includes four pairs of non-inverting bidirectional buffers, with two slightly different versions for each. Each buffer contains two separate circuit stages – the translator, which does the actual level translation, and the power provide, which supplies its own power supply or that of a driver.The translator circuit is used to shift the voltage levels from one voltage level to the other. It consists of a P-channel MOSFET (PMOS) and an N-channel MOSFET (NMOS). When the input voltage is high, the body diode of the NMOS is closed, allowing the voltage to pass through. When the input voltage is low, the body diode of the PMOS is closed, so that the voltage is not allowed to pass. This process is repeated for each of the four input and output channels.The power provide circuit consists of two capacitors connected in series and two resistors connected in parallel to a single power output. This circuit is used when the device is driving or receiving data from a device that has a different voltage. The circuit provides the necessary voltage adjustment to ensure compatibility between the two devices. The 74ALVC16244APAG is able to comply with the requirements of many high-speed and low-power data transfer applications by translating the voltage levels. It is easy to use, with simple construction and no external components required. Its wide voltage range provides flexibility and its high input impedance make it ideal for logic level conversions between 5V and 3.3V.
