The ABT245 contains eight non-inverting bidirectional buffers with 3-STATE outputs and is intended for bus-oriented applications. Current sinking capability is 64 mA on both the A and B ports. The Transmit/Receive (T/R#) input determines the direction of data flow through the bidirectional transceiver. Transmit (active HIGH) enables data from A Ports to B Ports; Receive (active LOW) enables data from B Ports to A Ports. The Output Enable input, when HIGH, disables both A and B ports by placing them in a HIGH Z condition.

• Bidirectional non-inverting buffers
• A and B output sink capability of 64 mA, source capability of 32 mA
• Guaranteed output skew
• Guaranteed multiple output switching specifications
• Output switching specified for both 50 pF and 250 pF loads
• Guaranteed simultaneous switching, noise level and dynamic threshold performance
• Guaranteed latchup protection
• High impedance glitch-free bus loading during entire power up and power down cycle
• Non-destructive hot insertion capability
• Disable time is less than enable time to avoid bus contention
