SN74ALVC245PW

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The SN74ALVC245PW is an octal bus transceiver manufactured by Texas Instruments, featuring three-state outputs and operating within a supply voltage range of 2.5V to 3.6V. It supports bidirectional data transfer between two buses controlled by a direction input and an output enable input. The device utilizes TSSOP-20 packaging and is designed for high-speed asynchronous communication with low power consumption characteristics typical of the ALVC logic family.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific package variant against the datasheet to ensure compatibility with PCB footprint requirements. Confirm that the supply voltage range aligns with the target system's power rails. Check for any specific ordering suffixes that may indicate temperature range or tape-and-reel specifications distinct from standard tube packaging.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this component when a robust octal transceiver is required for 3.3V systems. Ensure the application demands the propagation delay and drive current capabilities inherent to the ALVC series rather than lower-power alternatives. Verify that the TSSOP-20 package fits the available board space constraints.
