74FST3257DTR2G

74FST3257DTR2G is an octal bidirectional buffer/transceiver in the 74FST logic family. It provides two 8‑bit buses (A and B) that can transfer data in either direction under control of a direction input (DIR) and a 3‑state output enable (OE). When OE is asserted, data flows in the chosen direction; when OE is deasserted, all outputs go high impedance for bus sharing. The device is designed for high‑speed, TTL‑compatible operation at about 5 V (Fast Schottky TTL family). Typical uses include buffering/isolating wide data or address buses between a microprocessor and peripherals, level‑shifting between subsystems, or separating bus domains on a backplane. The DTR2G suffix designates a specific RoHS‑compliant packaging variant; pinout depends on package. For exact electrical specs, timing, and pin configuration, consult the manufacturer datasheet (Nexperia/Former Philips).

I don’t have the exact datasheet memorized. Please check the official datasheet for 74FST3257DTR2G for precise features. Typical characteristics of 74FST family include:
- 4.5–5.5 V supply (5V CMOS)
- High-speed CMOS (FST) performance
- TTL/CMOS-compatible input thresholds
- ESD protection (per device class)
- Standard packaging options (including DTR/tape-and-reel variants)
- Generally low power consumption
For exact propagation delays, drive capabilities, input/output configurations, and pinout, refer to the datasheet.

Pin count: 20 pins.
Function: SN74FST3257DTR2G is an octal (8-bit) bidirectional bus transceiver with 3-state outputs. It provides A0–A7 to B0–B7 data paths, with a DIR control to select direction (A↔B) and an OE (output enable) to tri-state the outputs.

Manufacturer: Texas Instruments (TI).
Company type: American multinational technology company that designs and manufactures semiconductors and integrated circuits, including analog and embedded processing products.

74FST3257DTR2G is an octal bus transceiver/buffer with 3-state outputs and direction control. Typical applications:
