Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TXB0106, SN74AHC541
Hi Experts,
I'm working through a new design and am looking to replace the auto bi-directional level translator device used in the previous design (TXB0106) with a comparable direction controlled device. I have come across the SN74LVC8T245 device which looks like it may be a good option, but would like your input before settling upon it. Only 6 channels are needed, so 2 of them on the 8-bit SN74LVC8T245 device would not be used and left unconnected.
In the design, side B will be a 5V level input to the device coming from a quadrature encoder. Side A will be a 3.3V level output going to a C2000 MCU purposed for its quadrature encoder peripheral (eQEP).
Please let me know your thoughts on this and if you have any suggestions. I can provide schematic images for clarity as well if needed.
Thanks,
Kevin
