Working Principles

The MC74LCX245MELG is a bidirectional level shifter/transceiver that operates between two voltage domains. It uses a combination of CMOS technology and logic gates to achieve logic level translation. The DIR pin controls the direction of data flow, while the OE pin enables or disables the outputs. When the DIR pin is set to a specific logic level, the corresponding data lines (A1-A8 or B1-B8) become inputs or outputs accordingly. The IC translates the logic levels of the input signals to match the voltage levels of the output signals, allowing seamless communication between different voltage domains.
