Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's current Package Option Addendum to confirm the exact physical package type, lead finish, and moisture sensitivity level. Ensure the selected variant matches the required operating temperature range and packaging format for the intended assembly process.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this component when designing circuits requiring low-voltage logic compatibility between 1.65 V and 3.6 V domains. The ALVC series offers faster switching speeds compared to standard LVC devices while maintaining lower power consumption than AC/HCT families. Verify that the load capacitance requirements align with the specified electrical characteristics for the target operating voltage.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers FAQ

How does the Output Enable (OE) pin control the state of the outputs?

Each output is disabled when its associated OE input is high. To ensure a high-impedance state during power-up or power-down, OE should be tied to VCC through a pullup resistor.

What is the latch-up performance specification for this device?

The latch-up performance exceeds 250 mA per JESD 17 standards.
