The 74LVC8T245-Q100; 74LVCH8T245-Q100 are 8-bit dual supply translating transceivers with 3-state outputs that enable bidirectional level translation. They feature two data input-output ports (pins An and Bn), a direction control input (DIR), an output enable input (OE) and dual supply pins (VCC(A)and VCC(B)). Both VCC(A)and VCC(B)can be supplied at any voltage between 1.2 V and 5.5 V. This flexibility makes the device suitable for translating between any of the low voltage nodes (1.2 V, 1.5 V, 1.8 V, 2.5 V, 3.3 V and 5.0 V). Pins An,OEand DIR are referenced to VCC(A)and pins Bn are referenced to VCC(B). A HIGH on DIR allows transmission from An to Bn and a LOW on DIR allows transmission from Bn to An. The output enable input (OE) can be used to disable the outputs so the buses are effectively isolated.
