Enhanced product 8-bit fixed-direction level translator with 3-state outputs

The SN74LV8T541-EP contains eight buffers with 3-state outputs. The active low output enable pins (OE1 and OE2) control all eight channels, and are configured so that both must be low for the outputs to be active. When the outputs are enabled, the outputs are actively driven low or high. When the outputs are disabled, the outputs are set into the high-impedance state. The output level is referenced to the supply voltage (VCC) and supports 1.8V, 2.5V, 3.3V, and 5V CMOS levels.

The input is designed with a lower threshold circuit to support up translation for lower voltage CMOS inputs (for example, 1.2V input to 1.8V output or 1.8V input to 3.3V output). In addition, the 5V tolerant input pins enable down translation (for example, 3.3V to 2.5V output).
