Re: question on 74HC245

Hi,

This IC is intended for digital use only. It is a 8 bit bus transceiver with 3 state outputs. That means each output can have a logical "0" state, a logical "1" state or a "high impedance" state. For example, you can use it to buffer a bidirectionnal data bus on a CPU board.

You can not use this component in a analog environment.
