74x245 Octal Bus Tranceiver - Electronic Traffic Light - Simply Put

Thanks for the clear explanation! Exactly what I wanted to know.

I can tell by your beard you would be able to explain this to me in a brilliant and comprehensive way. Thank you.

I used one of these a couple of days ago. All of my EEPROMs from China were junk, so as a workaround I used an ESP32 that I had and coded it to work like an EEPROM. I used all of the pins for address and data lines, so I used one of these to give me the output enable pin and high impedance outputs. Worked like a charm. Definitely power hungry though. The whole circuit (just the ESP and the 74HC245N) was running around 550mA.. I managed to put together a few dollars and got some proper EEPROM's from Mouser so hopefully they'll work. As a side note: a benefit from making an ESP32 EEPROM is that with some more code I could modify the contents (non-permanently) using either WiFi or Bluetooth.

Thanks Simply Put for making it simple

I liked the explanation.

Great video. Thanks!

Yup, not only in use-cases where microcontrollers are involved; these are especially useful if you're using discrete logic in your project. These come in handy when you want to interface it with the bus.

Amazing explanation, thanks so much

[@parapos]

great explanation, thank you.

Great stuff! Thank you sir!

[@mahmoddsoky6896]

Is there a way to test MAX ICs?

[@mahmoddsoky6896]

I mean with the exact same method? Also how does that big circuit work?
