The 74LVX3245 is an octal transceiver with 3-state outputs from Fairchild/ON Semiconductor. This device is designed for asynchronous two-way communication between data buses. It features a direction control input (DIR) which determines the direction of data flow. Enable inputs (OE) can be used to disable the device so that the buses are effectively isolated.

Applications

• Memory interface
• Data bus isolation
• Asynchronous communication between buses with different voltage levels
• Line driving and signal buffering

Features

• Octal transceiver: Allows simultaneous transmission and reception of eight bits of data.
• 3-state outputs: Provide high impedance state when disabled, preventing bus loading.
• Low voltage operation: Operates from 2.0V to 3.6V.
• Low power consumption: Reduces system power requirements.
• High-speed operation: Offers fast propagation delay for improved system performance.
• ESD protection: Enhanced ESD protection on all inputs and outputs.

Benefits

• Facilitates efficient data transfer between buses.
• Reduces signal loading on the bus.
• Enables operation in low-voltage systems.
• Minimizes power consumption in battery-powered devices.
• Improves system speed and performance.
• Enhances device reliability and robustness.

Additional Details

The 74LVX3245 supports TTL input logic levels when operating at 3.3V. It is available in various packages, including DIP, SOIC, and TSSOP. The operating temperature range is typically -40°C to +85°C. This transceiver is ideal for applications where bidirectional data transfer and bus isolation are required.
