8-bit transceiver for mixed-voltage buses
The 24 mA symmetric output drive at both high and low (24mA, 24mA) is enough to drive short PCB traces and lightly loaded buses directly, saving the cost and board area of external buffers.
Supply voltage and bus compatibility
The 1.65V to 3.6V supply range means this part can sit on a 3.3V backplane and still talk to a 1.8V FPGA bank without a dedicated translator — the transceiver's inputs and outputs track the supply rail. At 3.3V the 24 mA drive gives clean edges on short stubs; at 1.8V the drive current is lower but still adequate for point-to-point links under a few inches. If your bus has more than a handful of loads, budget a derating check at the lower supply corner.
Package and board integration
Housed in a 24-TSSOP package with a 4.40mm body width (0.173"), it fits a standard 0.65mm-pitch TSSOP-24 footprint. The 3-state outputs let you share the bus with other transceivers or a microcontroller without contention; the output-enable control (not detailed here) is typically active-low per the 74LVC convention.
Lifecycle and compliance
It is ROHS3 compliant, meeting the current EU exemption-free standard, so it ships into global markets without restriction. For new designs, there is no LTB risk; the part is available through the standard TI distribution channel and independent supply.
