The SN74LVC8T245-Q1 is an eight bit non-inverting bus transceiver with configurable dual power supply rails that enables bidirectional voltage level translation. The SN74LVC8T245-Q1 is optimized to operate with VCCA and VCCB set at 1.65V to 5.5V. The A port is designed to track VCCA. VCCA accepts any supply voltage from 1.65V to 5.5V. The B port is designed to track VCCB. VCCB accepts any supply voltage from 1.65V to 5.5V. This allows for universal low-voltage bidirectional translation between any of the 1.8V, 2.5V, 3.3V, and 5.5V voltage nodes.
The SN74LVC8T245-Q1 is designed for asynchronous communication between two data buses. The logic levels of the direction-control (DIR) input and the output-enable (OE) input activate either the B-port outputs or the A-port outputs or place both output ports into the high-impedance mode. The device transmits data from the A bus to the B bus when the B-port outputs are activated, and from the B bus to the A bus when the A-port outputs are activated.
The input circuitry on both A and B ports is always active and must have a logic HIGH or LOW level applied to prevent excess ICC and ICCZ.
This device is fully specified for partial-power-down applications using Ioff. The Ioff circuitry disables the outputs, preventing damaging current backflow through the device when it is powered down. The VCC isolation feature is designed so that if either VCC input is at GND, then all outputs are in the high-impedance state. To put the device in the high-impedance state during power up or power down, tie OE to VCC through a pullup resistor; the current-sinking capability of the driver determines the minimum value of the resistor.
The SN74LVC8T245-Q1 is designed so that the control pins (DIR and OE) are supplied by VCCA.

The 14-24-LOGIC-EVM evaluation module (EVM) is designed to support any logic device that is in a 14-pin to 24-pin D, DW, DB, NS, PW, DYY or DGV package,
The generic EVM is designed to support one, two, four and eight channel LVC and AVC direction-controlled translation devices. It also supports the bus hold and automotive -Q1 devices in the same number of channels. The AVC are low voltage translation devices with lower drive strength of 12mA. LVC (...)
