The 74VCX162245 is a low voltage CMOS 16 BIT BUS TRANSCEIVER (3-STATE) fabricated with sub-micron silicon gate and five-layer metal wiring C2MOS technology. It is ideal for low power and very high speed 1.8 to 3.6V applications; it can be interfaced to 3.6V signal environment for both inputs and outputs. This IC is intended for two-way asynchronous communication between data buses; the direction of data transmission is determined by DIR input. The two enable inputs nG can be used to disable the device so that the buses are effectively isolated.
