The TC74VCX16245(EL.F) is a 16-Bit Bus Transceiver with 3-State Outputs manufactured by Toshiba Semiconductor and Storage. It's part of the VCX family, known for its low-voltage operation, high-speed performance, and low power consumption. This device is bidirectional, allowing data transmission in either direction, making it ideal for applications like data bus interfacing and level translation. The (EL.F) probably refers to specific packaging and shipping options.

Applications

• Data bus interfacing
• Level translation
• Memory interfacing
• Bidirectional data transfer
• Isolating bus segments

Features

• Low-voltage operation: VCC = 1.2 V to 3.6 V
• High-speed operation: tpd = 3.0 ns (typ.) at VCC = 3.3 V
• Low power consumption: ICC = 4.0 μA (max) at VCC = 3.6 V
• High noise immunity
• Output drive capability: ±24 mA at VCC = 3.0 V
• 16-bit bidirectional transceiver
• 3-State Outputs
• Direction control input
• Package: TSSOP48

Benefits

• Flexible data transfer due to bidirectional operation.
• Low power consumption is crucial for battery-powered applications.
• High-speed performance ensures quick data exchange.
• Wide voltage range allows for use in different system environments.
• Bus isolation capability enhances system robustness.

The TC74VCX16245(EL.F) consists of sixteen channels, each of which can transmit data in either direction. The direction of data flow is controlled by a DIR (direction) input. The outputs can be disabled using the OE (output enable) input. When OE is high, the outputs are in a high-impedance state. This allows multiple devices to share a common bus. The device is packaged in a TSSOP48 (Thin Shrink Small Outline Package) for efficient use of board space. Its combination of speed, low power, and bidirectional capability makes it a versatile choice for many applications.
