SN74ABT125: Next Gen. Product Suggestion

Part Number: SN74ABT125
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: SN74ABT16245A, TXU0204, SN74LVC16T245, SN74AHC541, SN74AHCT541

Tool/software:

Hi TIer

Could you help me find a good next gen. replacement?

We use SN74ABT125 as buffer with UART signal (115200 bps) to make plug in and plug out isolation 

Since this SN74ABT125 is too old, we need a new product, I have 8 UARTs ( 5V supply), so there are 16 signal ports. If there are more channels that might be recommended? 8 ch or 16ch. 

It is better can achieve the level shift function, I need to convert the 5V input into a 3.3V signal to the MCU for reading. 

I found SN74ABT16245A , but it looks like old too and no level shift.

Could you give me some suggestion. Thank you very much. 

  • SN74LVC16T245, but if RXD and TXD of each UART are near each other, routing might be easier with 4× TXU0204.

    Devices with overvoltage-tolerant inputs can translate down, and devices with TTL-compatible inputs can translate from 3.3 V to 5 V, so you could use 1× SN74AHC541 and 1× SN74AHCT541.
