3 Description

The SN74LV8T245 is an octal bus transceiver with 3-

state outputs. All eight channels are controlled by the

direction (DIR) pin and output enable (OE) pin. The

output level is referenced to the supply voltage (VCC)

and supports 1.8-V, 2.5-V, 3.3-V, and 5-V CMOS

levels.

The input is designed with a lower threshold circuit to

support up translation for lower voltage CMOS inputs

(for example, 1.2 V input to 1.8 V output or 1.8 V input

to 3.3 V output). Additionally, the 5-V tolerant input

pins enable down translation (for example, 3.3 V to

2.5 V output).
