The 74VCXH16245 is an advanced performance non-inverting 16-bit transceiver. It is designed for very high-speed very low-power operation in 1.8V 2.5V or 3.3V systems. When operating at 2.5V (or 1.8V) the part is designed to tolerate voltages it may encounter on either inputs or outputs when interfacing to 3.3V busses. It is guaranteed to be over-voltage tolerant to 3.6V. The VCXH16245 is designed with byte control. It can be operated as two separate octals or with the controls tied together as a 16-bit wide function. The Transmit/Receive (T/Rbarn) inputs determine the direction of data flow through the bi-directional transceiver. Transmit (active-HIGH) enables data from A ports to B ports; Receive (active-LOW) enables data from B to A ports. The Output Enable inputs (OEn)bar when HIGH disable both A and B ports by placing them in a HIGH Z condition. The data inputs include active bushold circuitry eliminating the need for external pull-up resistors to hold unused or floating inputs at a valid logic state.
