1. General description
The 74LVC245A; 74LVCH245A is an 8-bit transceiver with 3-state outputs. The device features an
output enable (OE) and send/receive (DIR) for direction control. A HIGH on OE causes the outputs
to assume a high-impedance OFF-state. Inputs can be driven from either 3.3 V or 5 V devices. This
feature allows the use of these devices as translators in mixed 3.3 V and 5 V environments.
Schmitt-trigger action at all inputs makes the circuit tolerant of slower input rise and fall times.
This device is fully specified for partial power down applications using IOFF. The IOFF circuitry
disables the output, preventing the potentially damaging backflow current through the device when
it is powered down.
