Working Principles

The SN74LVC245APW works by utilizing a combination of MOSFETs and CMOS circuitry to perform voltage level translation. The direction of data flow is controlled by the DIR pin, which determines whether the data is transmitted from Port A to Port B or vice versa. The OE pin is used to enable or disable the output buffers.

When the DIR pin is set to transmit data from Port A to Port B, the input signals at Port A are level-shifted to the voltage level of Port B and transmitted through the output buffers. Conversely, when the DIR pin is set to transmit data from Port B to Port A, the input signals at Port B are level-shifted to the voltage level of Port A and transmitted through the output buffers.
