SN74LVC245APWRE4 datasheet by Texas Instruments

SN74LVC245APWRE4 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum operating frequency of the SN74LVC245APWRE4?
  The maximum operating frequency of the SN74LVC245APWRE4 is 100 MHz.
• Can I use the SN74LVC245APWRE4 in a 3.3V system?
  Yes, the SN74LVC245APWRE4 is designed to operate from 1.65V to 3.6V, making it suitable for 3.3V systems.
• How do I handle the output enable (OE) pin?
  The output enable (OE) pin is active-low, meaning it should be connected to GND to enable the outputs. Leaving it unconnected or connecting it to VCC will disable the outputs.
• What is the propagation delay of the SN74LVC245APWRE4?
  The propagation delay of the SN74LVC245APWRE4 is approximately 2.5 ns at 25°C and 3.3V supply voltage.
• Can I use the SN74LVC245APWRE4 in a 5V system?
  While the SN74LVC245APWRE4 can tolerate 5V inputs, it is not recommended to use it in a 5V system as it may not meet the required voltage tolerance. It's recommended to use a level shifter or voltage regulator to ensure compatibility.
