description/ordering information

These octal bus transceivers are designed specifically for low-voltage (3.3-V) VCC operation, but with the

capability to provide a TTL interface to a 5-V system environment.

These devices are designed for asynchronous communication between data buses. They transmit data from

the A bus to the B bus or from the B bus to the A bus, depending on the logic level at the direction-control (DIR)

input. The output-enable (OE) input can be used to disable the devices so the buses are effectively isolated.

To ensure the high-impedance state during power up or power down, OE should be tied to VCC through a pullup

resistor; the minimum value of the resistor is determined by the current-sinking capability of the driver.

Active bus-hold circuitry is provided to hold unused or floating data inputs at a valid logic level. Use of pullup

or pulldown resistors with the bus-hold circuitry is not recommended.

These devices are fully specified for hot-insertion applications using Ioff and power-up 3-state. The Ioff circuitry

disables the outputs, preventing damaging current backflow through the devices when they are powered down.

The power-up 3-state circuitry places the outputs in the high-impedance state during power up and power down,

which prevents driver conflict.
