Toshiba Logic IC for Real time imaging & AI wokloads Data Transfer

In recent years, the rapid advancement of AI technologies has driven significant expansion in data center and edge AI markets. Therefore, SoC systems increasingly require higher performance with lower power consumption, leading to further reductions in operating voltage.

The 74AVC Series is designed to enable communication between such low‑voltage systems and conventional voltage systems. It is a level shifter capable of bidirectional voltage-level shifting between 0.7V or 0.8V and up to 3.6V.

In addition to the existing 4-bit products, smaller bit configurations (1-bit and 2-bit) and small package variations—such as the leadless XSON6, the leaded SOT-363 (US6), and SOT-765 (US8)—are available, providing even greater flexibility in system design.

Furthermore, the newly launched 1-bit and 2-bit products, as with the existing products, employ a push-pull buffer configuration to achieve high-speed operation, making them suitable for a wide range of applications such as UART, GPIO, and SPI communication interfaces.

The 74AVC Series devices—including the new products—support dual power‑supplies without any power-on/off sequence restrictions. They adopt a clear directional-control method using DIR pins and a high-impedance control method using power-supply pins. The 74AVCH Series additionally includes an internal bus-hold function.
