Octal bus transceiver for mixed-voltage backplanes
The NXP 74LV245DB,118 is an octal (8-bit) bus transceiver with non-inverting logic and 3-state outputs, designed for bidirectional data flow between two buses. Its 1V to 5.5V supply range makes it a practical choice for level-shifting between low-voltage cores (1.8V, 2.5V) and legacy 3.3V or 5V peripherals. Each of the eight channels can sink or source 16 mA, enough to drive a short backplane trace or a handful of CMOS loads.
Wide supply and extended temperature
The supply range from 1V to 5.5V covers the common logic rails in mixed-voltage designs.
Active lifecycle and compliance
It is ROHS3 compliant, which clears the restriction-of-hazardous-substances requirement for EU-market equipment and most global OEM specs.
