The ACQ/ACTQ245 contains eight non-inverting bidirec-tional buffers with 3-STATE outputs and is intended for bus oriented applications. Current sinking capability is 24 mA at both the A and B ports. The Transmit/Receive (T/R) input determines the direction of data flow through the bidirec-tional 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 ina HIGH Z condition. The ACQ/ACTQ utilizes Fairchild Quiet Series e^ technol-ogy to guarantee quiet output switching and improve dynamic threshold performance. FACT Quiet Series e^ fea-tures GTO e^ output control and undershoot corrector in addition to a split ground bus for superior performance.
