This 8-bit (octal) noninverting bus transceiver contains two separate supply rails; B port has VCCB, which is set at 3.3V, and A port has VCCA, which is set at 5V. This allows for translation from a 3.3V to a 5V environment, and vice versa.

The SN74LVC4245A device is designed for asynchronous communication between data buses. The device transmits data from the A bus to the B bus or from the B bus to the A bus, depending on the logic 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. The control circuitry (DIR, OE) is powered by VCCA.

The SN74LVC4245A device terminal out allows the designer to switch to a normal all 3.3V or all 5V 20-terminal SN74LVC4245 device without board re-layout. The designer uses the data paths for pins 2–11 and 14–23 of the SN74LVC4245A device to align with the conventional ’245 terminal out.

This device is fully specified for partial-power-down applications using Ioff. The Ioff circuitry disables the outputs, preventing damaging current backflow through the device when it is powered down. The VCC isolation feature is designed so that if either VCCA or VCCB is less than 100mV, both I/O ports enter a high-impedance state by disabling the outputs.
