Product details
Overview
74AC245TTR from STMicroelectronics is an advanced high-speed CMOS octal bus transceiver with 3-state non-inverting outputs, used for bidirectional asynchronous data bus communication. It features 4.5ns typical propagation delay at 5V, ±24mA symmetrical output drive, 2V–6V operating voltage, and pin/function compatibility with standard 74-series 244 devices in TSSOP-20 package.
For engineers reviewing the 74AC245TTR datasheet, 74AC245TTR pinout, 74AC245TTR application, or 74AC245TTR equivalent, key selection criteria include direction-controlled bidirectional data flow, 50Ω transmission line driving capability, high noise immunity (28% VCC), and latch-up robustness in industrial bus interface designs.
Technical Context
The device implements a dual-bus architecture with DIR input controlling data flow direction between A- and B-side 8-bit ports, while G enables/disables all outputs into high-impedance state. Its sub-micron C2MOS process ensures low ICC (4µA max) and balanced tPLH/tPHL delays.
Input thresholds are rail-proportional (VIH = 2.1V min at VCC = 3V; VIL = 0.9V max), and outputs guarantee VOL ≤ 0.5V at 24mA sink and VOH ≥ 3.7V at 24mA source under 4.5V supply - enabling reliable interfacing across mixed-voltage systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 2V to 6V - supports mixed-voltage board-level interfacing (e.g., 3.3V logic to 5V peripherals) |
| tPD (Typ.) | 4.5ns at VCC = 5V - enables >100MHz bus toggle rates in synchronous systems |
| IOL / IOH | 24mA min - drives 50Ω transmission lines directly without external buffers |
| VNIH / VNIL | 28% VCC min - rejects >1.4V noise on 5V buses, improving signal integrity |
| ICC (Max) | 4µA at TA = 25°C - suitable for low-power standby modes in battery-backed systems |
| CIN / CI/O | 5pF / 10pF - minimizes capacitive loading on high-speed address/data buses |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP-20 package: 6.5mm × 4.4mm body, 0.65mm pitch, exposed pad not present, JEDEC MO-153 compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | DIR | Direction control: LOW = A→B, HIGH = B→A; determines real-time data path polarity |
| 2–9 | A1–A8 | Port A I/O: bidirectional data terminals tied to local bus or microcontroller data port |
| 11–18 | B1–B8 | Port B I/O: bidirectional data terminals connected to peripheral or memory bus |
| 19 | G | Output enable: LOW = active drive, HIGH = 3-state isolation of both ports |
| 10 | GND | Ground reference for all I/O and internal logic |
| 20 | VCC | Positive supply: powers internal logic and output drivers; decoupling required per 74AC family practice |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Symmetrical output drive | |IOH| = IOL = 24mA min - eliminates skew between rising/falling edges on shared bus lines |
| 50Ω transmission line drive | Guaranteed incident-wave switching on 50Ω traces - reduces need for external termination resistors |
| High noise immunity | VNIH/VNIL = 28% VCC min - suppresses EMI-induced glitches in noisy industrial environments |
| Latch-up immunity | Improved vs. standard 74HC/74LS - withstands transient overvoltage without destructive latch-up |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal bus transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 74LVC245A | Lower VCC range (1.65–3.6V); 3.3V-only optimized; 26mA drive; 3.5ns tPD | Not suitable for 5V systems; requires level translation when interfacing to 5V peripherals | Select when full system operates at 3.3V and lowest possible power is critical |
| SN74ACT245 | Same VCC range (4.5–5.5V only); higher drive (32mA); tighter AC specs; no -55°C rating | Limited to 5V-only designs; lacks wide temperature support for automotive under-hood use | Select for high-speed 5V-only backplanes where 32mA drive improves margin on long traces |
Compared with 74LVC245A and SN74ACT245, the 74AC245TTR uniquely balances 2–6V operation, industrial temperature range (-55°C to +125°C), and proven latch-up immunity - making it optimal for mixed-voltage, mission-critical embedded interfaces.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by 74AC245TTR in bus applications?
The 74AC245TTR does not operate on a clock; it is an asynchronous transceiver. Its 4.5ns typical propagation delay enables reliable data transfer at bus toggle rates exceeding 100MHz, provided setup/hold times of connected devices are met and trace impedance is controlled to 50Ω.
Can 74AC245TTR safely interface 3.3V and 5V logic domains without level shifters?
Yes - its 2V–6V VCC range, rail-proportional input thresholds (VIH = 2.1V min at 3V, 3.15V min at 4.5V), and 5.5V-tolerant inputs allow direct connection between 3.3V and 5V systems when powered at 5V, with no external level translation required.
Is the TSSOP-20 package of 74AC245TTR RoHS-compliant and lead-free?
Yes - STMicroelectronics' 74AC245TTR in TSSOP-20 packaging conforms to RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and is manufactured with lead-free terminations and halogen-free molding compound, verified per ST's official product change notices and material declarations.
How does the DIR and G pin interaction affect bus isolation behavior?
When G = HIGH, both A and B ports enter high-impedance state regardless of DIR value - fully isolating the buses. When G = LOW, DIR selects direction: DIR = LOW enables A→B flow; DIR = HIGH enables B→A flow. This two-level control prevents bus contention during state transitions.
