Toshiba Semiconductor and Storage 74HCT245D Environmental and export classification status description

The Toshiba 74HCT245D is a high-speed CMOS (Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor) octal bus transceiver with 3-state outputs. It is a part of the 74HCT family, which means it is compatible with TTL (Transistor-Transistor Logic) devices. The device can transmit and receive data between different buses and is commonly used in interfacing between 5V circuits and other digital systems. Functions - Data Transmission: Facilitates the flow of data between two buses. - Tri-state Outputs: Outputs can be set to high, low, or high-impedance state to allow multiple devices to share a common output line. - Direction Control: The transceiver supports bidirectional data transmission, controlled by a direction control pin. - Voltage Level Shifting: Can be used for logic level conversion between 3.3V and 5V systems. - Bus Control: Allows enabling/disabling of the bus outputs for ease of operation in bus systems. Applications - Data Communication: Used in both serial and parallel data transmission applications. - Microcontroller Interfacing: Useful for connecting microcontrollers to other buses (like peripheral devices). - Consumer Electronics: Commonly found in electronics where data levels need to be adapted. - Interface Expansion: Acts as an interface in systems with more devices than available GPIOs on microcontrollers. Alternative Parts - 74HC245: Higher speed, also CMOS based but may have slightly different specifications. - 74LS245: TTL based, which is an alternative if you are working in a TTL environment. - 74HCT241: Another octal transceiver with a different logic setup. - 74HCT244: Similar in function but usually has a slightly different use case (buffer instead of transceiver). Embedded Modules - 74HCT245 Module: Custom or ready-made modules can be found in the form of breakout boards, often used in education and prototyping kits. - Microcontroller Development Boards: Some boards might incorporate a 74HCT245D for communication interfaces. - Bus Expander Modules: Usually built for specific applications involving data buses requiring tri-state control.
