74VHC245PW

Nexperia · Buffer/Driver/Transceiver · TSSOP-20

74VHC245PW from Nexperia, in a TSSOP-20. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet by ds2sf; symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 DIR input Direction control input. When DIR=LOW, data flows from Bn to An; when DIR=HIGH, data flows from An to Bn (with OE=LOW). Schmitt-trigger input; accepts voltages higher than VCC.
2 A0 bidirectional Data input/output, bus A bit 0. Direction is controlled by DIR; outputs 3-state when OE is HIGH.
3 A1 bidirectional Data input/output, bus A bit 1. Direction is controlled by DIR; outputs 3-state when OE is HIGH.
4 A2 bidirectional Data input/output, bus A bit 2. Direction is controlled by DIR; outputs 3-state when OE is HIGH.
5 A3 bidirectional Data input/output, bus A bit 3. Direction is controlled by DIR; outputs 3-state when OE is HIGH.
6 A4 bidirectional Data input/output, bus A bit 4. Direction is controlled by DIR; outputs 3-state when OE is HIGH.
7 A5 bidirectional Data input/output, bus A bit 5. Direction is controlled by DIR; outputs 3-state when OE is HIGH.
8 A6 bidirectional Data input/output, bus A bit 6. Direction is controlled by DIR; outputs 3-state when OE is HIGH.
9 A7 bidirectional Data input/output, bus A bit 7. Direction is controlled by DIR; outputs 3-state when OE is HIGH.
10 GND power_in Ground reference, 0 V.
11 B7 bidirectional Data input/output, bus B bit 7. Direction is controlled by DIR; outputs 3-state when OE is HIGH.
12 B6 bidirectional Data input/output, bus B bit 6. Direction is controlled by DIR; outputs 3-state when OE is HIGH.
13 B5 bidirectional Data input/output, bus B bit 5. Direction is controlled by DIR; outputs 3-state when OE is HIGH.
14 B4 bidirectional Data input/output, bus B bit 4. Direction is controlled by DIR; outputs 3-state when OE is HIGH.
15 B3 bidirectional Data input/output, bus B bit 3. Direction is controlled by DIR; outputs 3-state when OE is HIGH.
16 B2 bidirectional Data input/output, bus B bit 2. Direction is controlled by DIR; outputs 3-state when OE is HIGH.
17 B1 bidirectional Data input/output, bus B bit 1. Direction is controlled by DIR; outputs 3-state when OE is HIGH.
18 B0 bidirectional Data input/output, bus B bit 0. Direction is controlled by DIR; outputs 3-state when OE is HIGH.
19 OE input Output enable input, active LOW. When HIGH, both A and B outputs are placed in high-impedance (3-state) OFF-state, effectively isolating the buses.
20 VCC power_in Supply voltage. Operating range 2.0 V to 5.5 V for 74VHC245; absolute max +7.0 V.
