74VHC161284 IEEE 1284 Transceiver
74VHC161284
IEEE 1284 Transceiver
General Description
The VHC161284 contain s eight bidirectional data buffers
and eleven control/status buffers to implement a full
IEEE 1284 compliant interface. The device supports the
IEEE 1284 standard and is intended to be used in
Extended Capabiliti es Port mode (E CP). Th e pinout al lows
for easy connection from the Peripheral (A-side) to the
Host (cable side).
Outputs on the cable side can be configured to be either
open drain or high drive (
± 14 mA). The pull-up and pull-
down series termi na tion re si sta nce of th ese o utp uts on the
cable side is optimized to dr ive an external cable. In addition, all inputs (except HLH) and ou tputs on the cab le side
contain internal pull-up resistors connected to the V
CC
sup-
ply to provide proper termination and pull-ups for open
drain mode.
Outputs on the Peripheral side are standard LOW-drive
CMOS outputs. The DIR input controls data flow on the
A
1–A8/B1–B8
transceiver pins.
Features
■ Supports IEEE 1284 Level 1 and Level 2 signaling
standards for bidirectional parallel communications
between personal computers and printing peripherals
■ Replaces the function of two (2) 74ACT1284 devices
■ All inputs have hyst eresis to provide noise margin
■ B and Y output resistance optimized to drive external
cable
■ B and Y outputs in high impedance mode during power
down
■ Inp uts and outputs on cable side have internal pull-up
resistors
■ Flow-through pin configuration allows easy interface
between the Peripheral and Host
