TOSHIBA 74VHC245FT BE · Buffer/Driver/Transceiver · TSSOP-20

74VHC245FT from TOSHIBA 74VHC245FT BE, 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 = L, data flows B -> A; when DIR = H, data flows A -> B. CMOS input, VIH = VCC x 0.7 min at VCC = 3.0-5.5 V.
2 A1 bidirectional Bus A channel 1 I/O. Acts as input when DIR = H (A -> B) and as output when DIR = L (B -> A). Placed into high-impedance state when /G = H.
3 A2 bidirectional Bus A channel 2 I/O. Acts as input when DIR = H and as output when DIR = L. High-impedance when /G = H.
4 A3 bidirectional Bus A channel 3 I/O. Acts as input when DIR = H and as output when DIR = L. High-impedance when /G = H.
5 A4 bidirectional Bus A channel 4 I/O. Acts as input when DIR = H and as output when DIR = L. High-impedance when /G = H.
6 A5 bidirectional Bus A channel 5 I/O. Acts as input when DIR = H and as output when DIR = L. High-impedance when /G = H.
7 A6 bidirectional Bus A channel 6 I/O. Acts as input when DIR = H and as output when DIR = L. High-impedance when /G = H.
8 A7 bidirectional Bus A channel 7 I/O. Acts as input when DIR = H and as output when DIR = L. High-impedance when /G = H.
9 A8 bidirectional Bus A channel 8 I/O. Acts as input when DIR = H and as output when DIR = L. High-impedance when /G = H.
10 GND power_in Ground reference (0 V). Connect to system ground with a local decoupling capacitor between VCC and GND close to the package.
11 B8 bidirectional Bus B channel 8 I/O. Acts as input when DIR = L (B -> A) and as output when DIR = H (A -> B). High-impedance when /G = H.
12 B7 bidirectional Bus B channel 7 I/O. Acts as input when DIR = L and as output when DIR = H. High-impedance when /G = H.
13 B6 bidirectional Bus B channel 6 I/O. Acts as input when DIR = L and as output when DIR = H. High-impedance when /G = H.
14 B5 bidirectional Bus B channel 5 I/O. Acts as input when DIR = L and as output when DIR = H. High-impedance when /G = H.
15 B4 bidirectional Bus B channel 4 I/O. Acts as input when DIR = L and as output when DIR = H. High-impedance when /G = H.
16 B3 bidirectional Bus B channel 3 I/O. Acts as input when DIR = L and as output when DIR = H. High-impedance when /G = H.
17 B2 bidirectional Bus B channel 2 I/O. Acts as input when DIR = L and as output when DIR = H. High-impedance when /G = H.
18 B1 bidirectional Bus B channel 1 I/O. Acts as input when DIR = L and as output when DIR = H. High-impedance when /G = H.
19 ~G input Active-low output enable. When /G = L the transceiver is enabled and data is passed in the direction set by DIR; when /G = H both A and B busses go to high-impedance (Z).
20 VCC power_in Positive supply voltage. Operating range 2.0 V to 5.5 V (absolute max 7.0 V). Decouple with a 0.1 uF ceramic capacitor close to the package between VCC and GND.
