The 74HCT646DB,118 is an IC (integrated circuit) component that belongs to the 74HCT series. It is specifically designed for bidirectional level shifting and voltage translation applications. This component offers several key features that make it useful in various digital systems.
One of the most important features of the 74HCT646DB,118 is its bidirectional capability. It allows voltage translation in both directions, making it ideal for interfacing between different logic families or between devices with different voltage levels. This dual-direction functionality simplifies the design process and eliminates the need for additional components.
Another notable feature of this IC component is its wide voltage range support. It is compatible with both TTL (Transistor-Transistor Logic) and CMOS (Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor) voltage levels, providing flexibility in system integration. The 74HCT646DB,118 can work with input voltages ranging from 2 to 6 volts, making it compatible with a wide array of devices.
Furthermore, the 74HCT646DB,118 offers a high-speed operation with a maximum propagation delay of just 15 nanoseconds. This ensures quick and efficient voltage translation, enabling smooth data transfer between different logic levels.
Moreover, this IC component provides eight bidirectional buffers with separate input and output ports. Each buffer has its own control signal, which simplifies the control and direction management of data flow
