74LVC245 Breadboard Friendly 8-bit Logic Level Shifter

Features:

• 74LVC245 Level Shifter
• 5V to 3.3V or 5V to 1.8V Level Shifter
• Useful for connecting 5V MicroControllers such as Arduino to 3.3V or 1.8V circuits
• Seamlessly transfer signals between 5V and 3.3V devices
• Octal bus transceiver; 3-state
• Supply Voltage  VCC: 1.65V to 3.6V
• Inputs Accept Voltages up to 5.5V
• Designed for asynchronous communication between data buses
• Transmits data from the A bus to the B bus or from the B bus to the A bus, depending on the logic level at the direction-control (DIR) input
• The output-enable (OE) input can be used to disable the device so the buses effectively are isolated.
