FUNCTIONAL BLOCK DIAGRAM
DESCRIPTION:
This 18-bit transceiver is built using advanced dual metal CMOS technol-
ogy. The ALVCH16863 is a noninverting transceiver designed for asynchro-
nous communication between data buses. The control-function implementa-
tion minimizes external timing requirements.
This high speed device can be used as two independent 9-bit transceivers
or one 18-bit transceiver. It allows data transmission from the A bus to the B bus
or from the B bus to the A bus, depending on the logic level at the output-enable
(OEAB or OEBA) inputs.
The ALVCH16863 has been designed with a 24mA output driver. This
driver is capable of driving a moderate to heavy load while maintaining speed
performance.
The ALVCH16863 has "bus-hold" which retains the inputs' last state
whenever the input bus goes to a high impedance. This prevents floating inputs
and eliminates the need for pull-up/down resistors
APPLICATIONS:
3.3V high speed systems
3.3V and lower voltage computing systems
DRIVE FEATURES:
High Output Drivers: 24mA
Suitable for heavy loads
