74VCX162835MTDX

Universal Bus Functions Overview

The 74VCX162835MTDX is a universal bus transceiver manufactured by Fairchild Semiconductor, housed in a 56-pin TSSOP package. It functions as a non-inverting transceiver designed for asynchronous communication between buses operating at different supply voltages. The device supports bidirectional data transfer with true output signals, facilitating signal translation between varying logic levels within low-voltage systems.

Universal Bus Functions Feature Summary

• Provides bidirectional interface capabilities between buses operating at different voltage potentials
• Supports live insertion and withdrawal operations without damaging the device
• Utilizes patented Quiet Series noise and EMI reduction circuitry for signal integrity

Universal Bus Functions Applications

• Asynchronous communication between buses at different supply voltages
• Signal translation from lower potential rails to higher potential rails
• Bidirectional interface connections in low-voltage electronic systems

Universal Bus Functions Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer designation, as ON Semiconductor has acquired Fairchild Semiconductor's logic products. Confirm the specific datasheet revision matches the required electrical characteristics. Ensure the 56-TSSOP package variant aligns with the PCB footprint design. Check for RoHS compliance status if environmental regulations apply to the final assembly.

Universal Bus Functions Selection Notes

Select this component when dual-supply translating transceiver functionality is required for 16-bit wide buses. It is suitable for applications needing translation between 1.65V to 2.7V and 2.3V to 3.6V domains. Consider the 56-TSSOP package constraints for board space. Verify that the static drive current requirements meet the load specifications of the connected bus lines.

Universal Bus Functions Part Context

This part belongs to the VCX family of low-voltage CMOS logic devices. It is functionally related to other translating transceivers like the 74VCX163245, which shares similar dual-supply translation features but may differ in pinout or specific electrical parameters. The series is designed for high-performance, low-power applications requiring robust signal integrity.

Universal Bus Functions Replacement Considerations

The 74VCX163245MTD is a documented similar part number from the same manufacturer family. Verify pin compatibility and specific voltage rail definitions before substitution, as functional equivalence does not guarantee identical physical or electrical performance across all variants.
