Product details
Overview
SN74AVC6T622ZXYR from Texas Instruments is a 6-bit dual-supply voltage-level transceiver designed for AC'97 audio codec interfacing between 1.8 V controllers and 3.3 V codec links. It supports independent A-port (VCCA) and B-port (VCCB) supplies from 1.2 V to 3.6 V, delivers 95 MHz maximum data rate, features three independent direction controls (DIR1, DIR2, DIR(345)), and maintains high-impedance outputs when either supply is off.
For engineers reviewing the SN74AVC6T622ZXYR datasheet, SN74AVC6T622ZXYR pinout, SN74AVC6T622ZXYR application, or SN74AVC6T622ZXYR equivalent, key selection criteria include dual-voltage rail configuration, AC'97 timing compliance, directional control granularity per signal group, I/O leakage under power-off conditions, and ZXY 20-ball UFBGA package compatibility with space-constrained PC audio subsystems.
Technical Context
The SN74AVC6T622ZXYR implements three independent bidirectional data paths: DIR1 controls A1↔B1 (GPIO), DIR2 controls A2↔B2 (SYNC), and DIR(345) controls A3/A4/A5 ↔ B3/B4/B5 (BIT_CLK/RESET/SDATA_Out). Each path operates with input thresholds tracking its respective supply (VCCA for A-port, VCCB for B-port), enabling precise level translation without external biasing.
It complies fully with AC'97 electrical interface specifications-including timing, voltage levels, and signal integrity-while supporting dynamic supply sequencing: when VCCA = 0 V or VCCB = 0 V, all I/Os enter high-impedance state to prevent back-driving and reduce system standby current.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Range | VCCA and VCCB each support 1.2 V to 3.6 V independently - enables mixed-voltage system integration without level-shifting resistors. |
| Max Data Rate | 95 MHz - meets AC'97 synchronous serial timing requirements for SYNC, BIT_CLK, and SDATA signals. |
| Direction Control | Three separate DIR inputs (DIR1, DIR2, DIR(345)) - allows independent bidirectional flow per functional group (GPIO, clock/control, data). |
| Power-Off Isolation | Outputs go Hi-Z if VCCA = 0 V or VCCB = 0 V - prevents current leakage and ensures safe partial-power-down operation. |
| I/O Leakage | ±5 µA max at 0 V supply - guarantees minimal quiescent current during sleep modes in portable audio systems. |
| ESD Protection | 7000-V HBM, 200-V MM, 1500-V CDM - exceeds JEDEC standards for robustness in consumer PC motherboard environments. |
Pinout & Package
The SN74AVC6T622ZXYR uses a 20-ball, 0.5-mm pitch, 3 mm × 2.5 mm UFBGA package (ZXY) with exposed thermal pad. Ball assignments follow JEDEC MO-220 standard; exposed pad must be connected to GND or left electrically open per design requirements.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A1 | GPIO I/O | Bidirectional general-purpose signal controlled by DIR1; referenced to VCCA. |
| A2 | SYNC Input | AC'97 controller SYNC signal; direction controlled by DIR2. |
| A3–A5 | BIT_CLK/RESET/SDATA_Out Inputs | Three control/data lines from controller; collectively direction-controlled by DIR(345). |
| A6 | NC | No-connect ball; must remain unconnected per datasheet. |
| VCCA | Port-A Supply | Powers A-port I/Os and DIR inputs; sets A-port input thresholds. |
| GND | Ground | Two dedicated ground balls (B3, C3); required for noise immunity and return path. |
| DIR1, DIR2, DIR(345) | Direction Controls | Active-high logic inputs referenced to VCCA; determine data flow direction per group. |
| B1–B6 | Secondary Codec Signals | Correspond to SYNC, SDATA_In, RESET, BIT_CLK_In, SDATA_Out, and GPIO outputs to AC'97 codec. |
| VCCB | Port-B Supply | Powers B-port I/Os; sets B-port input thresholds and output drive strength. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Independent dual-supply operation | VCCA and VCCB configurable from 1.2 V to 3.6 V - eliminates need for external voltage translators in mixed-voltage audio subsystems. |
| AC'97 electrical compliance | Fully conforms to AC'97 timing, voltage swing, and signal integrity specs - ensures plug-and-play interoperability with legacy and modern codecs. |
| Per-group directional control | Three DIR inputs isolate control of GPIO, SYNC, and multi-signal (BIT_CLK/RESET/SDATA) paths - enables flexible routing and protocol-aware power gating. |
| Zero-current power-off mode | All outputs enter high-impedance state when either VCCA or VCCB is 0 V - prevents back-powering and simplifies system-level power sequencing. |
| Low dynamic power consumption | Typical power dissipation capacitance: CpdA = 2.9 pF (A→B), CpdB = 5.9 pF (B→A) at 3.3 V - reduces switching noise in sensitive analog audio sections. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage-level transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74AVC8T245RHLR | 8-bit, single-direction-control, no DIR(345) grouping - requires external logic for per-signal direction management. | Best suited for generic parallel bus translation, not AC'97-specific grouped control. | Select only if application requires uniform direction control across all 8 bits and does not rely on AC'97 timing or signal grouping. |
| TXS0108EPRJR | Auto-direction sensing, no DIR pins - relies on data flow detection rather than explicit GPIO control. | Suitable for I²C/SPI but lacks AC'97 timing validation and deterministic latency for synchronous audio clocks. | Choose only for non-timing-critical digital interfaces; avoid for AC'97 due to unverified skew and jitter performance. |
Compared with SN74AVC8T245RHLR and TXS0108EPRJR, the SN74AVC6T622ZXYR provides AC'97-specific signal grouping, guaranteed 95 MHz timing compliance, and explicit DIR control per functional block-making it the only option validated for production audio codec bridging in PC-class systems.

FAQ
What is the primary function of the SN74AVC6T622ZXYR in an AC'97 audio system?
The SN74AVC6T622ZXYR serves as a bidirectional voltage-level transceiver that bridges 1.8 V AC'97 controllers with 3.3 V AC'97 codecs. It translates logic levels while preserving AC'97 timing specifications across six signal lines - including SYNC, BIT_CLK, RESET, SDATA_Out, SDATA_In, and GPIO - using three independent direction controls. This ensures full protocol compliance without external components.
Can the SN74AVC6T622ZXYR operate with mismatched supply voltages such as VCCA = 1.8 V and VCCB = 3.3 V?
Yes, the SN74AVC6T622ZXYR is explicitly designed for mismatched dual-supply operation. VCCA can be set to 1.8 V to match the controller's I/O voltage, while VCCB is set to 3.3 V for the codec side. Input thresholds track their respective supplies, and output drive strength scales with VCCB - enabling robust signal integrity across the voltage boundary without level-shifting circuitry.
How does the SN74AVC6T622ZXYR handle power sequencing when one supply is ramped before the other?
When either VCCA or VCCB drops to 0 V, all corresponding I/Os automatically enter high-impedance state. This prevents back-driving, latch-up, or excessive leakage current during asymmetric power-up/down sequences. The SN74AVC6T622ZXYR thus supports flexible system-level power management - for example, powering down the audio codec (VCCB = 0 V) while keeping the controller active (VCCA = 1.8 V) for wake-on-audio events.
Is the exposed thermal pad on the SN74AVC6T622ZXYR package required to be connected to ground?
No - the exposed center pad on the SN74AVC6T622ZXYR's ZXY package may be connected to GND for improved thermal and mechanical performance, or left electrically open per the datasheet. TI specifies that grounding is optional and not mandatory for functional operation, though recommended for thermal dissipation in sustained high-speed operation.
Does the SN74AVC6T622ZXYR support hot-plug or live-insertion scenarios in AC'97 systems?
The SN74AVC6T622ZXYR supports hot-plug operation through its Ioff protection feature: when powered off (VCCA = 0 V or VCCB = 0 V), I/O leakage remains ≤ ±5 µA, preventing signal contention on live buses. Combined with high-impedance outputs and ESD robustness (7000-V HBM), it safely isolates the controller or codec side during insertion/removal - making it suitable for field-replaceable audio modules.
