This datasheet introduces the features and characteristics of the 74ABT16245 16-bit bidirectional buffer. The chip has 3-STATE outputs and is intended for bus applications. The chip has 16 non-inverting bidirectional buffers, each byte has a separate control input, which can be shorted together for full 16-bit operation. The T/R inputs determine the direction of data flow through the chip. The OE inputs can put the A and B ports into a high impedance state.
