Product Overview

SN74HC245 is a Texas Instruments octal bus transceiver in the Signal_Chain category. The device provides 3-state outputs for asynchronous two-way communication between data buses. Direction control is handled by the DIR input: one logic state selects A bus to B bus transmission, and the opposite state selects B bus to A bus transmission. The OE input disables the device so the buses are effectively isolated.

Procurement Notes

When requesting a quote for SN74HC245, buyers should confirm the manufacturer, package or case, required quantity, target date code, compliance documents, packing method, destination country and expected delivery schedule.

If alternatives are acceptable, buyers should share the approved vendor list, required electrical or optical limits, package constraints and qualification requirements. Any alternative part should be reviewed by the buyer's engineering team before production use.

For analog and signal-chain sourcing, supply voltage, bandwidth, accuracy, noise level, package, temperature grade, input/output configuration and qualification requirements should be verified before approval.

FAQ

What function does the SN74HC245 provide?

The SN74HC245 is an octal bus transceiver with 3-state outputs. It supports asynchronous two-way communication between data buses, with DIR selecting the transmission direction and OE disabling the device to isolate the buses.

What supply voltage range is specified for SN74HC245?

The recommended operating supply voltage range for SN74HC245 and SN54HC245 is 2 V to 6 V, with 5 V listed as the nominal supply voltage under recommended operating conditions.

Which package options are listed for this device?

The listed package cases include DB SSOP-20, DW SOIC-20, N PDIP-20, NS SO-20, and PW TSSOP-20. The extracted pin information identifies the device as a 20-pin part.

How are direction and output enable controlled?

The DIR input on pin 1 selects whether data is transmitted from the A bus to the B bus or from the B bus to the A bus. The OE input on pin 19 disables the device so the buses are effectively isolated.
