74LVC8T245PW,118 in Nexperia 74LVC Logic Family
The 74LVC8T245PW,118 is a high-performance 8-bit dual-supply translating transceiver developed by Nexperia. This component facilitates bidirectional level shifting between different voltage domains, supporting logic levels from 1.2 V to 5.5 V. It is specifically designed to bridge the gap between low-voltage microcontrollers or FPGAs and higher-voltage peripherals or legacy buses. By utilizing two independent power supply rails, it ensures reliable communication across mixed-voltage systems while maintaining high-speed signal integrity and 3-state output capabilities for bus-oriented applications.
Variants in This Sub-Family
Variants within this sub-family primarily differ based on packaging options and environmental specifications. While the 74LVC8T245PW utilizes a standard TSSOP24 package, other versions like the BQ suffix offer DQFN packages for space-constrained designs. Some variants include 'Bus Hold' features (LVCH) which eliminate the need for external pull-up resistors on unused inputs, while standard LVC versions offer lower static power consumption for simple logic level translation tasks.
