74VHCT245A
Octal Buffer/Line Driver with 3-STATE Outputs
supply voltage. These circuits prevent device destruction
General Description
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.
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.
Note 1: Outputs in OFF-State
Features
■ High Speed:
■ Power Down Protection on Inputs and Outputs
■ Low Power Dissipation: CC = 4 µA (Max) @ TA = 25°C
tPD = 5.4 ns (typ) at VCC = 5V
I
Protection circuits ensure that 0V to 7V can be applied to
the input and output (Note 1) pins without regard to the
