Figure 3 shows the SN74LVC1T45 being used in a bidirectional logic level-shifting application. Since the
SN74LVC1T45 does not have an output-enable (OE) pin, the system designer should take precautions to avoid
bus contention between SYSTEM-1 and SYSTEM-2 when changing directions.

SYSTEM-1 data to SYSTEM-2
SYSTEM-2 is getting ready to send data to SYSTEM-1. I/O-1 and I/O-2 are disabled. The
bus-line state depends on pullup or pulldown.(1)

Enable Times
Calculate the enable times for the SN74LVC1T45 using the following formulas:
•
•
•
•
tPZH (DIR to A) = tPLZ (DIR to B) + tPLH (B to A)
tPZL (DIR to A) = tPHZ (DIR to B) + tPHL (B to A)
tPZH (DIR to B) = tPLZ (DIR to A) + tPLH (A to B)
tPZL (DIR to B) = tPHZ (DIR to A) + tPHL (A to B)
In a bidirectional application, these enable times provide the maximum delay from the time the DIR bit is
switched until an output is expected. For example, if the SN74LVC1T45 initially is transmitting from A to B, then
the DIR bit is switched; the B port of the device must be disabled before presenting it with an input. After the B
port has been disabled, an input signal applied to it appears on the corresponding A port after the specified
propagation delay.
