Nat Semi MM74HCT245N Octal 3-State Transceiver PDIP20

Manuafctured by National Semiconductor - Part # MM74HCT245N - DIL20 Through Hole Package

74HCT – High speed CMOS TTL-compatible, 74HC technology with compatible logic levels to bipolar TTL parts.

The MM74HCT245N 3-STATE bidirectional buffer utilises advanced silicon-gate CMOS technology and is intended for two-way asynchronous communication between data byses. It has high drive current outputs which enable high speed operation even when driving large bus capacitances. This circuit possesses the low power consumption of CMOS circuitry, yet has speeds comparable to low power Schottky TTL circuits.

This device is TTL input compatible and can drive up to 15 LS-TTL loads, and all inputs are protected from damage due to static discharge by diodes to Vcc and Ground.
