These octal bus transceivers are designed for 2.7-V to 3.6-V VCC operation.
The 'LVCH245A devices are designed for asynchronous communication between data buses. These devices 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 device so the buses are effectively isolated.
Inputs can be driven from either 3.3-V or 5-V devices. This feature allows the use of these devices as translators in a mixed 3.3-V/5-V system environment.
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.
The SN54LVCH245A is characterized for operation over the full military temperature range of -55°C to 125°C. The SN74LVCH245A is characterized for operation from -40°C to 85°C.
