Product Overview
The SN74LVC16T245DGGR is a 16-bit dual-supply bus transceiver with configurable level-shifting and voltage translation from Texas Instruments. It features two independent 8-bit channels with separate direction and output-enable controls, supporting bidirectional translation between any combination of 1.65V to 5.5V voltage nodes. The device provides tri-state outputs, overvoltage-tolerant I/O, and partial-power-down protection (Ioff), making it ideal for mixed-voltage system interfacing.
