The SNx4LS245 is commonly used to drive ribbon cables or back plane busses. It allows isolation from the bus when necessary, and increases drive strength on the bus.
Figure 5 shows the SNx4LS245 wired up as a permanently enabled data bus transceiver for both a master and slave device communicating over a ribbon cable or back plane.
This device uses Schottky transistor logic technology. Take care to avoid bus contention because it can drive currents that would exceed maximum limits. The high drive creates fast edges into light loads, so routing and load conditions must be considered to prevent ringing.
It is common to see significant losses in ribbon cables and back planes. Figure 6 shows a simplified simulation of a ribbon cable from a 5-V, 10-MHz low-drive strength source. It shows the difference between an input signal from a weak driver like an MCU or FPGA compared to a strong driver like the SN74LS245 when measured at the distant end of the cable. By adding a high-current drive transceiver before the cable, the signal strength can be significantly improved, and subsequently the cable can be longer.
