SN74ALVTH16601VR Integrated Circuits (ICs)

The SN74ALVTH16601VR is an advanced FET logic device developed by Texas Instruments which was designed for low voltage, low power 3.3V and 5V applications, and is suitable for applications requiring 1.8V to 3.3V voltage range. It supports various logic functions including logic, universal bus functions & buffer& register functions. This article looks at the application field & working principle of the SN74ALVTH16601VR.

Application Field

The universal bus functions offer the excellent performance and functionality, making the SN74ALVTH16601VR an excellent choice for applications from consumer electronics to automotive and industrial controllers. With low power consumption and logic control functions, it can be used for applications including microprocessors, pocket personal computers, mobile phones, PDAs, medical & consumer electronics and automotive systems.

It is also suitable for user interface applications such as keyboards, switches and other interactive elements that require a reliable level shifting operation between a low voltage (1.8V) and high voltage (3.3V or 3.6V).

The SN74ALVTH16601VR is also suitable for high performance designs due to its low delay time and higher voltage support. It can be used in various applications such as low delay control logic, clock synchronization, analog-digital converters, pulse receivers, video applications and static memory.

Working Principle

The SN74ALVTH16601VR can be used as an asynchronous universal bus transceiver with two separate buses. Each of these buses can be configured as either input, output or bidirectional, with programmable control and logic levels. This allows for flexibility when interfacing with different bus architectures.

The logic inputs can be powered from the VDD and associated I/O pins. The inputs can be driven from either the VDD range (1.8V – 3.6V) or the I/O range (1.5V – 3.6V) which allows it to interface with various levels of logic depending upon the application.

The registers provide 8 bit wide parallel output functions, as well as a selectable register size. It can be programmed to output either 4, 8, or 16 bits wide. The registers can be configured to act as a source or sink, or as a bi-directional port. Data is stored in the selected register when the output enable signal is active.

The SN74ALVTH16601VR also supports configurable slew rate control, to allow for better signal transmission with minimized signal differences between the input and output signals. The universal bus functions also support automatic power management and can be powered down when not in use. This reduces the overall power consumption of the device, saving energy and extending battery life.

The SN74ALVTH16601VR is a versatile and powerful device that can be used in a variety of applications. Its universal bus functions and logic control functions make it suitable for a broad range of applications from consumer electronics to automotive and industrial controllers.
