CD74HCT245E datasheet by Texas Instruments

CD74HCT245E Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum frequency of operation for the CD74HCT245E?
  The maximum frequency of operation for the CD74HCT245E is 50 MHz.
• Can I use the CD74HCT245E with a 5V power supply?
  Yes, the CD74HCT245E can operate with a 5V power supply, but it is recommended to use a 3.3V or 2.5V power supply for optimal performance.
• How do I handle the enable pins (1E and 2E) in the CD74HCT245E?
  The enable pins (1E and 2E) are active-low, meaning they need to be pulled low to enable the corresponding bus. When not in use, the enable pins should be pulled high to disable the bus.
• What is the propagation delay of the CD74HCT245E?
  The propagation delay of the CD74HCT245E is typically around 10-15 ns, but this can vary depending on the operating conditions and load capacitance.
• Can I use the CD74HCT245E as a level shifter?
  Yes, the CD74HCT245E can be used as a level shifter, but it is not recommended as it is not designed for this purpose. Instead, use a dedicated level shifter IC for optimal performance.
