SN74LVC8T245 max speed considerations

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: SN74LVC8T245

I need to convert a 2.5 volt logic signal to 3.3 volts to drive M-LVDS drivers.

I would like to use the SN74LVC8T245DGVR with the VCCA=2.5 and VCCB=3.3.

Some of the signals will be Clocks running at about 65 Mhz 50% duty cycle.

Is this the best device to use or do you have a faster device hopefully in the same package?

Also, how noise / jitter would I expect to see in the clocks signals due timing characteristics of the SN74LVC8T245?

  • Clay,


    Sorry for the delay. 

    This device will work at over 150MHz for 2.5V so you should have no problem with 65MHz. We have not characterized the noise/jitter. Skew will be less than 1ns (depending on loading conditions.)
