asynchronous communication between data buses. The devices transmit data from the A bus to the B bus or from the B bus to the A bus depending upon the 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.

same I/O pin count and functionality of standard small-outline packages in less than half the printed-circuit-board area. The SN54BCT245 is characterized for operation
over the full military temperature range of –55°C IR
to 125°C. The SN74BCT245 is characterized for operation from 0°C to 70°C.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the difference in operating temperature ranges between the SN54BCT245 and SN74BCT245?
The SN54BCT245 operates over a full military range of –55°C to 125°C. The SN74BCT245 is rated for 0°C to 70°C.
How can I temporarily disable the output lines on this transceiver?
You can use the output-enable (OE) input. Setting OE allows the buses to be effectively isolated.
What package options are available for these transceivers?
Options include standard DIPs, Small-Outline packages (DB), Ceramic Chip Carriers (FK), and Flatpacks (W).
Does the DB package offer advantages over other packages?
The SN74BCT245 in the shrink small-outline (DB) package maintains I/O pin count while requiring less than half the PCB area.
