74HC245 IC OCTAL BUS TRANSCEIVER UTC DIP-20 74HC245

Product Overview

The SN74HC245 is a high-speed CMOS octal bus transceiver designed for asynchronous two-way communication between data buses. It enables data transmission from bus A to bus B or from bus B to bus A, depending on the logic level at the direction-control (DIR) input. The device also features an output-enable (OE) input that allows for bus isolation by placing the outputs in a high-impedance (3-state) condition.
