Double-check the A/B pins and reducing the operating temperature if possible when your **74LVC4245APW should be able to identify the root IC isn't switching properly, it could be factors the issue. process the power supply, verifying control signals, ensuring proper connections, and addressing signal integrity—you can identify and resolve the issue. Applying these steps will help restore normal switching operation and ensure that the IC performs as expected in your system.
