Frequently Asked Questions

What is the function of the OE pin?
Output enable: when high, outputs are high-impedance, isolating the bus.
What is the difference between 74HC245 and 74HC244?
245 is bidirectional; 244 is a unidirectional octal buffer.
What voltage does 74HC245 support?
2V to 6V supply.
