74LVX161284 Low Voltage IEEE 161284 Translating Transceiver
74LVX161284
Low Voltage IEEE 161284 Translating Transceiver
General Descript ion
The LVX161284 contains eight bidirectional data buffers
and eleven control/status buffers to implement a full
IEEE 1284 compliant interface. The device supports the
IEEE 1284 standard and is intended to be used in an
Extended Capabilities Port mode ( ECP). The pinout allows
for easy connection from the Peripheral (A-side) to the
Host (cable side).
Outputs on the cable side can be configured to be either
open drai n or h igh dri ve (
r
14 mA) a nd are connect ed t o a
separate pow er supply pin (V CC-cable) to allow these out-
puts to be driven by a higher supply voltage than the A-
side. The pull-up and pull-down series termination resis-
tance of these outputs on the cable side is optimized to
drive an ext ern al ca bl e . In add it ion , all inpu ts (exce pt HLH)
and outputs on the cable side contain internal pull-up resis-
tors connected to the VCC-cable supply to provide proper
termination and pull-ups for open drain mode.
Outputs on the Peripheral side are standard low-drive
CMOS outputs designed to interface with 3V logic. The DIR
input controls data flow on the A1–A8/B1–B8 transceiver
pins.
Features
■Supports I EEE 1284 Level 1 and Level 2 signaling
standards for bidirectional parallel communications
between personal computers and printing peripherals
■Translation capability allows outputs on the cable side to
interface with 5V signals
■All inputs have hysteresis to provide noise margin
■B and Y output resistance optimized to drive external
cable
■B and Y outpu ts in high impedan ce mode duri ng power
down
■Inputs and outputs on cable side have internal pull-up
resistors
■Flow-through pin configuration allows easy interface
between the “Peripheral and Host”
■Replaces the function of two (2) 74ACT1284 devices
