Please let me know about two points below of SN74AVC4T245.
 
Is DIR pin necessary or unnecessary Pull-up resister?
 If necessary, is pullu-up resister value 5kΩ, no problem?
 
Which recommend of unused channel?
 ・A⇒GND,B⇒Open
 ・or A⇒GND,B⇒GND 

Best regards,
Satoshi
  • Hello Satoshi,

    1) no pull up resistor is required on DIR, but it is OK to use. 5K is safe and will be safe.

    2) if a channel is unused, it is safer to have A and B connected to GND in case the DIR bit get changed. Then the input will always be tied to ground, regardless of the value of DIR
