SN74LVC16245A: Request for Unidirectional Alternative to SN74LVC16245ADGG

Tool/software:

Hi team,

One of our customers is using the SN74LVC16245ADGG, a 16-bit bidirectional bus transceiver.

However, they are grounding the DIR pin, effectively using it as a unidirectional buffer.

Is there a more cost-effective alternative for a 16-bit unidirectional buffer that you would recommend?

Best regards,

Kazuki Itoh
