MSP430 Interface

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: SN74LVC16245A, SN74LVC3G34

I have a custom design ASIC with LVTTL interface. I want to use the MSP 430 to configure & monitor ASIC as well for data . there are several in/out signals to be interface with uC. suggest the proper buffers for :

signals from uC to ASIC (12)

Signals from ASIC to uC (6)

ASIC will operate @+3.3 VCC

Hi Sandhya ,

welcome to e2e !
There are buffers and transceivers which could be used. I would think 16bit transceiver sn74lvc16245A can be considered and I have filtered from the parametric search a few more options for direction controlled transceivers.
Else , you could also consider to use a total of 6 of the standard 3bit sn74lvc3G34 for unidirectional buffering without additional direction control required.

Why do you think you need buffering? Doesn't the MSP run at 3.3 V, too?

Thanks, i had considered sn74lvc16244 initially. but my question is ASIC has a LVTTL so should i consider CMOS to LVTTL interface for uC to ASIC signal flow (controller should drive LVTTL ). ASIC is also operating at 3.3V so level conversion is not required. i have to check only driving capacity

The MSP's CMOS I/Os and LVTTL I/Os are compatible, i.e., they can be connected directly.
