74VCX2245WM

The 74VCX2245WM is a high-performance, low-power, small-footprint CMOS device used as a logic buffer, driver, receiver, and transceiver. It is a dual-channel component available in three different channel configurations: one channel bidirectional, one channel half-duplex, and one channel full-duplex. It operates from an input voltage range of 2.7V to 3.3V, with a maximum output current of up to 8mA.

The 74VCX2245BM is designed to drive a variety of digital signal applications with low static power dissipation. The device supports two different logical levels differentiated by their high and low thresholds. Programming the logic threshold level is done by setting the voltage on the logical ‘Vref’ pin. It allows for single voltage operation, regardless of the logic threshold level for use with TTL or other Logic ICs.

The 74VCX2245WM is ideal for applications such as portable device battery management systems, mobile payments, embedded systems, and medical systems where robust designs and minimal power consumption are required. It also features Ultra-Low Power mode, where it can operate down to 200mV, making it a viable solution for Sensor applications.

The device performs two separate logic functions simultaneously: logic buffering and logic scanning. In logic buffering mode, the device acts as a single stage buffer that converts input signals from one voltage level to another. It also provides output current capability for elevated drive. In this mode, the device features input hysteresis to ensure noise immunity and reduced power consumption. In logic scanning mode, the device functions as a multiplexer, providing the ability to switch between logic inputs while keeping all other pins in their original states.

The components operate in a low-voltage mode, and so they are compatible with a wide variety of logic families. It also includes a power down mode to provide low static power dissipation when not used. In addition, the components have a wide range of features such as input hysteresis, programmable logic thresholds, output current capability, and low voltage operation to provide improved overall performance in a wide range of applications.

The 74VCX2245WM is an important component for the development of high-performance and low-power products. Its small footprint, low power consumption, wide input voltage range, and excellent noise immunity make it highly suitable for a number of applications.
