Working Principles

The MM74HCT540N utilizes CMOS technology to perform voltage level translation. It consists of a set of bidirectional buffers that allow data to be transferred between two different voltage domains. The direction of data flow is controlled by the output enable (OE) pin. When OE is high, the outputs are in a high-impedance state, effectively isolating the input and output sides. When OE is low, the data can flow bidirectionally between the input and output sides.
