Part Number: SN74LVC8T245
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: SN74LXC8T245

Dear Team,

I am going to use SN74LVC8T245PWR buffer with the use of Direction pin I am going to change A to B or B to A direction I want both direction for my application. In that I have Two unused ports.For Unused A and B port only Input can be pulldown or both input and output can be given with pulldown,Because in datasheet unused pin input port tie to LOW or High logic is given for Output they didnt mentioned.In the case if iam going to use both direction means what i have to do for unsed pins of A and B ports?.

  • Unused outputs can be left open. But when you change direction, both pins can be inputs, so you have tie both sides to GND. (If the channels are not used, you do not need to insert a resistor.)

    Consider using the newer SN74LXC8T245.
