The SN74LVC16T245GQLR is an integrated circuit (IC) component designed by Texas Instruments. It belongs to the LVC family of voltage level translators and bus transceivers. This particular IC is a 16-bit dual-supply, low-voltage, configurable voltage level translator with 3-state outputs.
Key features of the SN74LVC16T245GQLR include:
1. Voltage translation: This IC is capable of translating signals between two separate voltage domains. It supports bidirectional voltage translation between 1.2V and 5V, making it suitable for use in various applications.
2. Configurable inputs: It has 16 configurable input/output pins that can be configured as inputs, outputs, or both, depending on the system requirements. This flexibility allows the IC to adapt to different signal direction and voltage level requirements.
3. Automatic direction control: The IC employs a direction-control pin (DIR) that determines the data flow direction. When DIR is high, data is transmitted from An pins to Bn pins, and when DIR is low, data is transmitted in the reverse direction.
4. 3-state outputs: The transceiver features 3-state outputs that can be enabled or disabled using the Output Enable (OE) pin. When disabled, the outputs enter a high-impedance state, isolating them from the connected bus and preventing any interference
