1. General description

The 74LVC16245A; 74LVCH16245A is a 16-bit transceiver with 3-state outputs. The device can be

used as two 8-bit transceivers or one 16-bit transceiver. The device features two output enables

(1OE and 2OE) each controlling eight outputs, and two send/receive (1DIR and 2DIR) inputs for

direction control. A HIGH on nOE 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.

The 74LVCH16245A bus hold on data inputs eliminates the need for external pull-up resistors to

hold unused inputs.
