SN74LVC8T245-EP Non-Inverting Bus Transceiver Texas Instruments SN74LVC8T245-EP 8-bit Non-Inverting Bus Transceiver uses two separate configurable power-supply rails. The device is optimized to operate with VCCA and VCCB set at 1.65V to 5.5V. The A port is designed to track VCCA. VCCA accepts any supply voltage from 1.65V to 5.5V. The B port is designed to track VCCB. VCCB accepts any supply voltage from 1.65V to 5.5 V. This allows for universal low-voltage bidirectional translation between any of the 1.8V, 2.5V, 3.3V, and 5.5V voltage nodes. The SN74LVC8T245-EP is designed for asynchronous communication between two data buses. The logic levels of the direction-control (DIR) input and the output-enable (OE) input activate either the B-port outputs or the A-port outputs or place both output ports into the high-impedance mode. The device transmits data from the A bus to the B bus when the B-port outputs are activated, and from the B bus to the A bus when the A-port outputs are activated. The input circuitry on both A and B ports is always active and must have a logic HIGH or LOW level applied to prevent excess ICC and ICCZ.
