The 74VHC16245 is an advanced high-speed CMOS 16-BIT BUS TRANSCEIVER (3-STATE) fabricated with sub-micron silicon gate and double-layer metal wiring C2MOS technology. This IC is intended for two-way asynchronous communication between data busses; the direction of data transmission is determined by DIR input. The enable input G can be used to disable the device so that the busses are effectively isolated.
