FEA TURES
•Octal bidirectional bus interface
•3-State buffer outputs sink 24mA and source 15mA
•Outputs are placed in high impedance state during power-off
conditions
•The -1 version sinks 48mA
DESCRIPTION
The 74ALS245A is an octal transceiver featuring non-inverting
3-State bus compatible outputs in both transmit and receive
directions. The device features an output enable (OE
) input for easy
cascading and transmit/receive (R/T
) input for direction control.
The 74ALS245A-1 is the same as the 74ALS245A except that both
ports sink 48mA within the ±5% V
CC
range.
