What this 8-bit buffer does on the bus
It operates from a 1.65V to 3.6V supply, making it compatible with 1.8V, 2.5V, and 3.3V logic rails. Each output can sink or source 24mA, enough to drive typical bus lines or LED indicators without external buffers. The 3-state control lets you isolate the outputs when the bus is shared, preventing contention. The 20-pin TVSOP package (4.40mm body width) saves board area compared to wider SOIC footprints.
Supply rails and temperature — fit for your environment
The 1.65V to 3.6V supply range means this part works on mixed-voltage boards without a separate level translator for the buffer itself. The 24mA output drive at both high and low levels is symmetric, so you don't lose noise margin on one edge. The 125°C maximum junction temperature allows placement near hot components like voltage regulators or processors without derating.
