Buffer

[chiomze]

I would like to buffer a biderectional IO chip, that can automagically detect the direction and choose the correct buffer to use, is there an IC chip that I can use?

How did your bidrectional I/O chip figure it out?

I just noticed I said bidirectional IO chip, but it is a bidirectional I/O card from PXI 6508 from NI to be exact.
I sometimes send input and I sometimes read output all from the same device and this device is not buffered, I was wondering if there is a chip that I can use that can automatically detect if I am using the card as an input or an output and use the appropraite buffer.

Not if the design is correctly bidirectional. That's why they come with enables

Ask NI if they make one.

Buffer it in software.
