The LVCH245A octal bus transceiver is built using advanced dual metal CMOS technology. The device is designed for asynchronous communication between data buses. Data is transmitted from the A bus to the B bus or from the B bus to the A bus, depending upon the logic level at the directioncontrol (DIR) input. The output-enable (OE) input can be used to disable the device so the buses are effectively isolated. The LVCH245A has been designed with a 24mA output driver. This driver is capable of driving a moderate to heavy load while maintaining speed performance.
