SN74LVC16T245DGVR – TEXAS INSTRUMENTS

The SN74LVC16T245DGVR is a low-voltage CMOS 8-bit bidirectional transceiver with 3-state outputs, packaged in a space-saving 20-pin TSSOP (Thin Shrink Small Outline Package). Operating from a 1.65V to 5.5V VCC range, it features independent enable pins (DIR and OE) for precise control over data flow direction and output state. This allows for flexible data bus management, acting as a transparent bidirectional path when enabled, or a high-impedance buffer when disabled. Each transceiver comprises eight independent channels, each capable of handling data rates exceeding 100Mbps. The device’s low-power consumption, attributed to its low-voltage CMOS technology (LVC), makes it ideal for battery-powered applications and high-density designs. Its ability to operate over a wide voltage range ensures compatibility with various system architectures. Typical applications include interfacing between microcontrollers and peripherals, memory expansion, and data bus buffering in low-power, high-speed systems where bidirectional data transfer and precise control are crucial. The use of the 3-state outputs further facilitates bus sharing and simplifies system integration. The device’s robust ESD protection enhances reliability in demanding environments.
