SN74AVC2T45DCUR

The SN74AVC2T45DCUR is an integrated circuit designed and manufactured by Texas Instruments. It is an advanced low-voltage dual-channel translator/level shifter that provides increased signal integrity and reduced power dissipation over other devices. The SN74AVC2T45DCUR features two full-duplex channels, providing up to four logic-level translation pathways for data transfer between low- and high-voltage logic families.

The SN74AVC2T45DCUR belongs in the category of logic translators and level shifters. These devices are used to bridge the gap between different logic families with different voltage levels. The SN74AVC2T45DCUR is designed to bridge the difference between 1.5V to 3.3V, as well as 5V to 3.3V logic levels. It also offers full voltage translation in either direction.

The SN74AVC2T45DCUR is composed of two channels, allowing for the exchange of digital logic signals from one voltage level to the other. It uses two bi-directional voltage translators to achieve the desired voltage level translation. Each of the two channels supports a maximum of two downstream connections and one upstream connection.

The SN74AVC2T45DCUR uses Flow-Thru architecture, allowing for fast propagation times and reduced power dissipation. This feature allows for data transmission to occur more quickly, allowing for higher data rates. The device also boasts a low-voltage, low-current operating mode that reduces the overall power dissipation of the circuit. This reduces power costs and conserves energy.

In addition to these features, the SN74AVC2T45DCUR is designed to meet the requirements of ESD protection, ensuring parameters such as clamp current, clamping voltage, and oscillation frequency meet the desired levels. The device also employs slew-rate control and input polarization, thereby eliminating the possibility of signal oscillations.

The SN74AVC2T45DCUR is used in many applications where there is a need to bridge different voltage levels. It can be used in digital circuits, embedded systems, and mixed-signal applications. The device can also be used in smart meters, motor controllers, and other applications where multiple logic levels must be bridged. The SN74AVC2T45DCUR is an ideal choice for these applications where it can provide efficient voltage translation for improved I/O performance and increased power savings.
