Fairchild AN-5001 LVX Translating Transceivers Application Note

About this manual

Fairchild Semiconductor's LVX Low Voltage Dual Supply CMOS Translating Transceivers (74LVX3245, 74LVX4245, 74LVXC3245, and 74LVXC4245) are designed to interface between 3 volt and 5 volt logic systems. These true voltage translating devices electrically isolate the A-side from the B-side to ensure clean signal translation.
