description/ordering information

A1 OE A2 B1

The ’AC245 octal bus transceivers are designed

for asynchronous two-way communication

between data buses. The control-function

implementation minimizes external timing

requirements.

When the output-enable (OE) is low, the device

passes noninverted data from the A bus to the B

GND B8

bus or from the B bus to the A bus, depending on the logic level at the direction control (DIR) input.

SN54AC245 FK PACKAGE

A high on OE disables the device so that the buses

(TOP VIEW)

are effectively isolated. To ensure the high-impedance state during power up or power down, OE should be tied to VCC through a pullup resistor; the minimum value of

the resistor is determined by the current-sinking

capability of the driver.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I ensure the SN74AC245 enters a high-impedance state during power up/down?

Connect the OE (output enable) pin to VCC through a pullup resistor to ensure a high-impedance state.

What is the direction control logic for the SN74AC245 octal bus transceiver?

When OE is low, DIR low sends data from bus B to A, and DIR high sends data from bus A to B.

What is the recommended operating voltage range for the SN74AC245?

The device operates from 2V to 6V VCC.

What is the maximum propagation delay of the SN74AC245?

The maximum tpd is 7 ns at 5V.

What package options are available for the SN74AC245?

It is available in DB, DW, N, NS, and PW packages.
