SN74LVC245APWR from Texas Instruments, 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. When high, signal propagates from A port to B port. When low, signal propagates from B port to A port. CMOS logic input referenced to VCC (1.65 V to 3.6 V); accepts up to 5.5 V. |
| 2 | A1 | tri_state | Transceiver I/O pin, channel 1 A-side. Bidirectional 3-state I/O; direction set by DIR, enabled by OE (active-low). IOH up to -24 mA / IOL up to 24 mA at VCC = 3 V. |
| 3 | A2 | tri_state | Transceiver I/O pin, channel 2 A-side. Bidirectional 3-state I/O; direction set by DIR, enabled by OE (active-low). |
| 4 | A3 | tri_state | Transceiver I/O pin, channel 3 A-side. Bidirectional 3-state I/O; direction set by DIR, enabled by OE (active-low). |
| 5 | A4 | tri_state | Transceiver I/O pin, channel 4 A-side. Bidirectional 3-state I/O; direction set by DIR, enabled by OE (active-low). |
| 6 | A5 | tri_state | Transceiver I/O pin, channel 5 A-side. Bidirectional 3-state I/O; direction set by DIR, enabled by OE (active-low). |
| 7 | A6 | tri_state | Transceiver I/O pin, channel 6 A-side. Bidirectional 3-state I/O; direction set by DIR, enabled by OE (active-low). |
| 8 | A7 | tri_state | Transceiver I/O pin, channel 7 A-side. Bidirectional 3-state I/O; direction set by DIR, enabled by OE (active-low). |
| 9 | A8 | tri_state | Transceiver I/O pin, channel 8 A-side. Bidirectional 3-state I/O; direction set by DIR, enabled by OE (active-low). |
| 10 | GND | power_in | Ground reference (0 V). Connect to the system ground plane. |
| 11 | B8 | tri_state | Transceiver I/O pin, channel 8 B-side. Bidirectional 3-state I/O; direction set by DIR, enabled by OE (active-low). |
| 12 | B7 | tri_state | Transceiver I/O pin, channel 7 B-side. Bidirectional 3-state I/O; direction set by DIR, enabled by OE (active-low). |
| 13 | B6 | tri_state | Transceiver I/O pin, channel 6 B-side. Bidirectional 3-state I/O; direction set by DIR, enabled by OE (active-low). |
| 14 | B5 | tri_state | Transceiver I/O pin, channel 5 B-side. Bidirectional 3-state I/O; direction set by DIR, enabled by OE (active-low). |
| 15 | B4 | tri_state | Transceiver I/O pin, channel 4 B-side. Bidirectional 3-state I/O; direction set by DIR, enabled by OE (active-low). |
| 16 | B3 | tri_state | Transceiver I/O pin, channel 3 B-side. Bidirectional 3-state I/O; direction set by DIR, enabled by OE (active-low). |
| 17 | B2 | tri_state | Transceiver I/O pin, channel 2 B-side. Bidirectional 3-state I/O; direction set by DIR, enabled by OE (active-low). |
| 18 | B1 | tri_state | Transceiver I/O pin, channel 1 B-side. Bidirectional 3-state I/O; direction set by DIR, enabled by OE (active-low). |
| 19 | OE | input | Output enable, active-low. When low, all outputs are enabled per DIR. When high, all A and B outputs are placed in the high-impedance (3-state) state. Accepts up to 5.5 V. |
| 20 | VCC | power_in | Supply voltage. Operating range 1.65 V to 3.6 V; absolute maximum 6.5 V. Decouple with ceramic bypass capacitor(s) to GND. |

The marking in the etched file is real recessed geometry cut into the solid, not a texture or a decal: 754 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.
