The SN74ABTE16246 is an 11-bit noninverting transceiver designed for asynchronous two-way communication between buses. This device has open-collector and 3-state outputs. The device allows data transmission 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 device so that the buses are effectively isolated. When OE\ is low, the device is active. The B port has an equivalent 25-series output resistor to reduce ringing. Active bus-hold inputs on the B port hold unused or floating inputs at a valid logic level. The A port provides for the precharging of the outputs via VCCBIAS, which establishes a voltage between 1.3 V and 1.7 V when VCCis not connected. Active bus-hold circuitry holds unused or undriven inputs at a valid logic state. Use of pullup or pulldown resistors with the bus-hold circuitry is not recommended.
