74VCX245

Low Voltage Bidirectional Transceiver

with 3.6V Tolerant Inputs and Outputs

General Description

The VCX245 contains eight non-inverting bidirectional buff-

ers with 3-STATE outputs and is intended for bus oriented

applications. The T/R input determines the direction of data

flow. The OE input disables both the A and B ports by plac-

ing them in a high impedance state.

The 74VCX245 is designed for low voltage (1.4V to 3.6V)

The 74VCX245 is fabricated with an advanced CMOS

technology to achieve high-speed operation while main-

taining low CMOS power dissipation.

Features

■ 3.6V tolerant inputs and outputs

■ Power-off high impedance inputs and outputs

■ Supports Live Insertion and Withdrawal (Note 1)

circuitry

■ Latchup performance exceeds 300 mA

■ ESD performance:

■ Leadless DQFN Pb-Free package

Note 1: To ensure the high impedance state during power up and power

value of the resistor is determined by the current sourcing capability of the

driver.

Ordering Code:

Pb-Free package per JEDEC J-STD-020B.

Note 2: Devices also available in Tape and Reel. Specify by appending the suffix letter “X” to the ordering code.

Note 3: DQFN package available in Tape and Reel only,
