Bus transceiver for bidirectional data paths
The Texas Instruments SN74F2245DBR is an octal bus transceiver designed for bidirectional asynchronous communication between two data buses. It belongs to the 74F logic family, operating at the standard 5 V supply typical of F-series devices.
Active lifecycle, RoHS constraint
For legacy builds or military/industrial contracts that explicitly allow tin-lead finish, it remains a viable, directly orderable line item.
The active lifecycle means it is still in regular production, so the channel should be able to support recurring BOM quantities without the spot-market premium that obsolete parts carry.
