The SN74TVC3010 provides 11 parallel NMOS
pass transistors with a common gate. The low
on-state resistance of the switch allows
connections to be made with minimal propagation
delay .
The device can be used as a 10-bit switch with the gates cascaded together to a reference transistor. The
low-voltage side of each pass transistor is limited to a voltage set by the reference transistor. This is done to
protect components with inputs that are sensitive to high-state voltage-level overshoots. (See Application
Information in this data sheet.)
All of the transistors in the TVC array have the same electrical characteristics; therefore, any one of them can
be used as the reference transistor. Since, within the device, the characteristics from transistor-to-transistor are
equal, the maximum output high-state voltage (V
) will be approximately the reference voltage (V
OH
REF
), with
minimum deviation from one output to another. This is a large benefit of the TVC solution over discrete devices.
Because the fabrication of the transistors is symmetrical, either port connection of each bit can be used as the
low-voltage side, and the I/O signals are bidirectional through each FET.
The SN74TVC3010 is characterized for operation from –40°C to 85°C.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
TVC background information
In personal computer (PC) architecture there are industry-accepted bus standards. These standards define,
among other things, the I/O voltage levels at which the bus communicates. Examples include the GTL+ host
bus, the AGP graphics port, and the PCI local bus. In new designs, the system components must communicate
with existing bus infrastructure. Providing an evolutionary upgrade path is important in the design of PC
architecture, but the existing bus standards must be preserved.
To achieve the ever-present needs for smaller, faster, lighter devices that draw less power, yet have faster
performance, most new high-performance digital integrated circuits are being designed and produced with
advanced submicron semiconductor process technologies. These devices have thin gate-oxide or short
channel lengths and very low absolute-maximum voltages that can be tolerated at the inputs/outputs (I/Os)
without causing damage. In many cases, the I/Os of these devices are not tolerant of the high-state
voltage-levels on the pre-existing buses with which they must communicate. Therefore, the need arose for
protection of the I/Os of devices by limiting the I/O voltages.
The T exas Instruments (TI) T ranslation V oltage Clamp (TVC) family was designed for the specific application
of protecting sensitive I/Os (see Figure 2). The information in this data sheet describes the I/O protection
application of the TVC family and should enable the design engineer to successfully implement an I/O protection
circuit utilizing the TI TVC solution.

electrical characteristics
The electrical characteristics of the NMOS transistors used in the TVC devices are illustrated by TI SPICE
simulations. Figure 4 shows the test configuration for the TI SPICE simulations. The results, shown in
Figures 5 and 6, show the current through a pass transistor, versus the voltage at the source for different
reference voltages. The plots of the dc characteristics clearly reveal that the device clamps at the desired
reference voltage for the varying device environments.
Figure 5 shows the V-I characteristics, with low reference voltages and a reference-transistor drain-supply
voltage of 3.3 V. To further investigate the spread of the V -I characteristic curves, V

was increased by raising V
