DESCRIPTION
The 74VHCT245A is an advanced high-speed
CMOS OCTAL BUS TRANSCEIVER (3-STATE)
fabricated with sub-micron silicon gate and
double-layer metal wiring C
2
MOS technology.
This IC is intended for two-way asynchronous
communication between data busses; the
TSSOPSOP
Table 1: Order Codes
PACKAGE T & R
SOP 74VHCT245AMTR
TSSOP 74VHCT245ATTR
direction of data transmission is determined by
DIR input. The enable input G
can be used to
disable the device so that the busses are
effectivel y isolated.
All inputs and outputs are equipped with
protection circuits against static disc harge, giving
them 2KV ESD immunity and transient excess
voltage.
All floating bus terminals during High Z State must
be held HIGH or LOW.
