The LCXZ16245 contains sixteen non-inverting bidirectional buffers with 3-STATE outputs and is intended for bus oriented applications. The device is designed for low voltage (2.7V or 3.3V) VCC applications with capability of interfacing to a 5V signal environment. The device is byte controlled. Each byte has separate control inputs which could be shorted together for full 16-bit operation. The T/R inputs determine the direction of data flow through the device. The OE inputs disable both the A and B ports by placing them in a high impedance state. When VCC is between 0V and 1.5V, the LCXZ16245 is on the high impedance state during power-up or power-down. This places the outputs in the high impedance (Z) state preventing intermittent low impedance loading or glitching in bus oriented applications.
