74HCT245PW 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. LOW = data flows B→A (B ports are inputs, A ports are outputs); HIGH = data flows A→B (A ports are inputs, B ports are outputs). TTL-level input. |
| 2 | A0 | bidirectional | Bidirectional data I/O bit 0 on the A-side bus. Acts as input or 3-state output depending on DIR and OE. |
| 3 | A1 | bidirectional | Bidirectional data I/O bit 1 on the A-side bus. |
| 4 | A2 | bidirectional | Bidirectional data I/O bit 2 on the A-side bus. |
| 5 | A3 | bidirectional | Bidirectional data I/O bit 3 on the A-side bus. |
| 6 | A4 | bidirectional | Bidirectional data I/O bit 4 on the A-side bus. |
| 7 | A5 | bidirectional | Bidirectional data I/O bit 5 on the A-side bus. |
| 8 | A6 | bidirectional | Bidirectional data I/O bit 6 on the A-side bus. |
| 9 | A7 | bidirectional | Bidirectional data I/O bit 7 on the A-side bus. |
| 10 | GND | power_in | Ground reference (0 V). Connect to system ground. |
| 11 | B7 | bidirectional | Bidirectional data I/O bit 7 on the B-side bus. |
| 12 | B6 | bidirectional | Bidirectional data I/O bit 6 on the B-side bus. |
| 13 | B5 | bidirectional | Bidirectional data I/O bit 5 on the B-side bus. |
| 14 | B4 | bidirectional | Bidirectional data I/O bit 4 on the B-side bus. |
| 15 | B3 | bidirectional | Bidirectional data I/O bit 3 on the B-side bus. |
| 16 | B2 | bidirectional | Bidirectional data I/O bit 2 on the B-side bus. |
| 17 | B1 | bidirectional | Bidirectional data I/O bit 1 on the B-side bus. |
| 18 | B0 | bidirectional | Bidirectional data I/O bit 0 on the B-side bus. |
| 19 | OE | input | Output enable, active LOW. LOW enables the transceiver in the direction set by DIR; HIGH places both A and B ports in high-impedance (3-state) OFF condition. |
| 20 | VCC | power_in | Positive supply voltage. Recommended operating range 4.5 V to 5.5 V for 74HCT245 (TTL-input variant); absolute max 7 V. Decouple with a 100 nF ceramic capacitor to GND close to the pin. |

The marking in the etched file is real recessed geometry cut into the solid, not a texture or a decal: 610 faces against 327 in the bare model. It survives export, section views, and rendering in any CAD tool, and it drops straight into KiCad or Fusion with no extra setup.
