74VHCT245A
Octal Buffer/Line Driver with 3-STATE Outputs
General Description
Features
The VHCT245A is an advanced high speed CMOS octal
bus transceiver fabricated with silicon gate CMOS technol-
ogy. It achieves high speed operation similar to equivalent
Bipolar Schottky TTL while maintaining the CMOS low
power dissipation. The VHCT245A is intended for bidirec-
tional asynchronous communication between data busses.
The direction of data transmission is determined by the
level of the T/R input. The enable input can be used to dis-
able the device so that the busses are effectively isolated.
■ High Speed: tPD 5.4 ns (typ) at VCC 5V
■ Power Down Protection on Inputs and Outputs
■ Low Power Dissipation: ICC
4 A (Max) @ TA 25 C
■ Pin and Function Compatible with 74HCT245
Protection circuits ensure that 0V to 7V can be applied to
the input and output (Note 1) pins without regard to the
supply voltage. These circuits prevent device destruction
due to mismatched supply and input/output voltages. This
device can be used to interface 5V to 3V systems and two
supply systems such as battery back up.
Note 1: Outputs in OFF-State
