Working Principles

The SN74HC245AN is a bidirectional bus transceiver that allows data transfer between two buses with different voltage levels. It operates based on the direction control (DIR) input, which determines the direction of data flow. When DIR is high, data is transferred from A-side to B-side, and when DIR is low, data is transferred from B-side to A-side.

The output enable (OE) input controls the tri-state outputs. When OE is high, the outputs are in high-impedance state, allowing other devices to drive the bus lines. When OE is low, the outputs are active and can drive the bus lines.
