74HC245 Octal Bus Transceiver

The 74HC245 Octal Bus Transceiver is a logic IC in the LabWired part catalog. Its catalog type is 74hc245. It connects to the MCU over GPIO. The catalog gives a supply range of 2–6 V. It has 20 pins. A registered peripheral model runs in the engine: the firmware talks to it over the real bus and gets device-accurate responses.

From the catalog: Octal bus transceiver, DIR + one part-wide OE (core/configs/devices/74hc245.yaml), 11 ns. All eight bits switch together; there is no per-bit enable.

How to simulate the 74HC245 Octal Bus Transceiver in LabWired

  1. Open the Playground at app.labwired.com and place an MCU board.
  2. Add the 74HC245 Octal Bus Transceiver (catalog type 74hc245).
  3. Connect VCC and GND to the supply and ground of the board. Use a supply inside the catalog range of 2–6 V.
  4. Connect DIR, OE, A1, A2, A3, A4, A5, A6, A7, A8, B1, B2, B3, B4, B5, B6, B7 and B8 as your circuit needs.
  5. Run the firmware. It drives and reads the pins of the part, and the device model responds on those pins.
