Product details
Overview
74AC11245DWR from Texas Instruments is an octal bus transceiver with 3-state outputs, designed for asynchronous two-way data communication between A and B buses in TTL/CMOS systems. It features direction control (DIR), output enable (OE), ±24 mA drive capability at 5 V, 4.8 ns typical propagation delay (VCC = 5 V), and operates across –40°C to 85°C.
For engineers reviewing the 74AC11245DWR datasheet, 74AC11245DWR pinout, 74AC11245DWR application, or 74AC11245DWR equivalent, key selection criteria include bidirectional flow-through architecture, 24-pin SOIC (DW) package compatibility, 3-state isolation timing (tPZH/tPLZ ≤ 11.4 ns), and EPIC process-based latch-up immunity (500 mA at 125°C).
Technical Context
The 74AC11245DWR implements dual 8-bit noninverting bus transceivers with independent DIR and OE controls, enabling configurable data flow from A-to-B or B-to-A. Its flow-through pinout (A1–A8 on left, B1–B8 on right, DIR/OE centrally located) minimizes PCB trace crossovers and reduces signal skew.
It uses Texas Instruments' EPIC (Enhanced-Performance Implanted CMOS) 1-μm process, delivering rail-to-rail output swing, low ground bounce (center-pin VCC/GND), and robust ESD tolerance. Absolute maximum ratings include VCC up to 7 V and input/output voltage range of –0.5 V to VCC + 0.5 V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage (VCC) | 3 V to 5.5 V - supports mixed-voltage system interfacing with 3.3 V or 5 V logic domains. |
| Propagation Delay (tPLH/tPHL) | 4.8 ns max at VCC = 5 V - enables high-speed bus handshaking in real-time control and memory expansion. |
| Output Drive (IOL/IOH) | ±24 mA at VCC = 4.5–5.5 V - drives standard TTL loads or multiple CMOS inputs without external buffers. |
| 3-State Enable Time (tPZH/tPLZ) | 10.2 ns / 9.5 ns max at VCC = 5 V - ensures fast bus release for time-critical arbitration protocols. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial-grade embedded systems including motor control and instrumentation. |
| Input Thresholds (VIH/VIL) | VIH = 3.15 V, VIL = 1.35 V at VCC = 4.5 V - provides noise margin >0.8 V for reliable operation in noisy environments. |
| Power Dissipation Capacitance | 64 pF (enabled), 16 pF (disabled) - reduces dynamic power consumption during idle bus cycles. |
Pinout & Package
74AC11245DWR is housed in a 24-pin SOIC (DW) package per JEDEC MS-013, with 300-mil width, gull-wing leads, and RoHS-compliant NiPdAu finish. Pin 1 quadrant is Q1 per tape-and-reel specification.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A1–A8 | Input/Output port A | 8-bit bidirectional data interface connected to local bus or microcontroller peripheral bus. |
| B1–B8 | Input/Output port B | 8-bit bidirectional data interface connected to memory, peripheral, or backplane bus. |
| DIR | Direction control input | High = A→B transfer; Low = B→A transfer - enables software-configurable data path routing. |
| OE | Output enable input | Low = outputs active; High = all A/B pins enter high-impedance state - isolates buses during contention or power-down. |
| VCC | Power supply | Two center pins (13, 24) reduce simultaneous switching noise and improve PDN stability. |
| GND | Ground reference | Four dedicated GND pins (5, 6, 7, 8) lower ground impedance and suppress return-path noise. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Flow-through architecture | A1–A8 and B1–B8 arranged on opposite sides to eliminate layer jumps and minimize trace length mismatch. |
| Center-pin VCC/GND | Dual VCC (pins 13, 24) and quad GND (pins 5–8) reduce simultaneous switching output (SSO) noise by >30% vs. corner-fed packages. |
| EPIC CMOS process | 1-μm implanted technology delivers 500 mA latch-up immunity at 125°C - suitable for harsh industrial environments. |
| 3-state output isolation | OE-controlled high-Z state prevents bus contention during multi-master arbitration or hot-swap events. |
| Wide supply range | Operates from 3 V to 5.5 V - allows direct interfacing with both 3.3 V FPGAs and legacy 5 V microcontrollers. |
Applications
| Industrial PLC Backplane Interface | Microcontroller Memory Expansion |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal bus transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC245A | Lower VCC range (1.65–3.6 V); 3.3 V only; 3.5 ns tPD; 24 mA drive; same 24-pin SOIC footprint. | Not suitable for 5 V systems; requires level translation when interfacing with 5 V peripherals. | Select when targeting 3.3 V-only designs with tighter timing budgets and lower power. |
| 74ACT125 | Quad noninverting buffer (4-channel); no direction control; 5 V only; 3.5 ns tPD; 24 mA drive. | Lacks bidirectional capability; requires external DIR logic and additional ICs for full bus transceiver function. | Choose only for unidirectional buffering where DIR/OE integration is unnecessary. |
Compared with SN74LVC245A and 74ACT125, the 74AC11245DWR uniquely combines 3–5.5 V operation, integrated DIR/OE control, and flow-through layout in a single 24-pin SOIC - eliminating external logic, reducing BOM count, and simplifying thermal management in mixed-voltage industrial interfaces.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage rating for the 74AC11245DWR?
The 74AC11245DWR has an absolute maximum supply voltage (VCC) rating of 7 V. However, its recommended operating range is 3 V to 5.5 V. Operation above 5.5 V may cause excessive current draw or reliability degradation, even if within absolute limits. Always maintain VCC within 3–5.5 V for functional compliance and long-term reliability in the 74AC11245DWR.
Does the 74AC11245DWR support 3.3 V logic levels when powered at 3.3 V?
Yes, the 74AC11245DWR is fully specified down to 3 V supply and supports 3.3 V logic operation. At VCC = 3.3 V, VIH is 2.31 V min and VIL is 0.99 V max, providing adequate noise margin for 3.3 V CMOS systems. The 74AC11245DWR maintains ±12 mA output drive and sub-7 ns propagation delay under these conditions.
How many ground pins does the 74AC11245DWR have, and why are they important?
The 74AC11245DWR has four dedicated ground pins (pins 5, 6, 7, and 8) in its 24-pin SOIC (DW) package. This quad-GND configuration lowers ground impedance, reduces simultaneous switching noise, and improves signal integrity in high-speed bus applications - a key design feature confirmed in the TI datasheet SCAS010B for the 74AC11245DWR.
Can the 74AC11245DWR be used in place of the 74AC245?
No - the 74AC11245DWR is not a drop-in replacement for the 74AC245. While both are octal transceivers, the 74AC11245DWR uses a flow-through pinout (A1–A8 on left, B1–B8 on right) and has separate DIR/OE inputs, whereas the 74AC245 uses a folded pinout and shared OE/DIR functionality. PCB layout and control logic must be redesigned to use the 74AC11245DWR.
What is the moisture sensitivity level (MSL) rating for the 74AC11245DWR?
The 74AC11245DWR carries a JEDEC MSL Level-1 rating with peak reflow temperature of 260°C, meaning it is not moisture-sensitive and can be stored indefinitely at ambient conditions without baking prior to reflow soldering. This MSL-1 classification applies to all active DW-package variants of the 74AC11245DWR per TI's official packaging documentation.
