Product details
Overview
74ACT11245DBR from Texas Instruments is an octal bus transceiver IC with 3-state outputs, designed for asynchronous bidirectional data transfer between A and B buses in TTL-voltage-compatible systems. It features direction control (DIR), output enable (OE), flow-through pinout, ±24 mA drive strength, and operates from –40°C to 85°C on 4.5–5.5 V supply.
For engineers reviewing the 74ACT11245DBR datasheet, 74ACT11245DBR pinout, 74ACT11245DBR application, or 74ACT11245DBR equivalent, key selection criteria include bidirectional bus isolation timing (tPLH/tPHL ≤ 10 ns), 3-state output leakage (±0.5 µA), latch-up immunity (500 mA at 125°C), and SSOP-24 package compatibility with high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The 74ACT11245DBR implements dual-directional data routing via a single DIR input that selects A→B or B→A path, while OE independently disables all outputs into high-impedance state. Its EPIC (Enhanced-Performance Implanted CMOS) 1-µm process ensures TTL-level input compatibility and rail-to-rail output swing.
Flow-through architecture places inputs and outputs on opposite sides of the SSOP-24 package to minimize trace crossovers; center-aligned VCC and GND pins reduce simultaneous switching noise. The device supports hot-swap-capable bus isolation with guaranteed 1.5 ns minimum pulse width on OE/DIR control signals.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - Ensures robust operation across industrial-grade 5 V rails with ±10% tolerance. |
| Output Drive | ±24 mA - Sustains full logic swing into 50 Ω transmission lines or standard TTL loads without external buffering. |
| Propagation Delay | tPLH/tPHL ≤ 10 ns - Enables reliable 50+ MHz bus handshaking in synchronous backplane designs. |
| 3-State Leakage | ±0.5 µA - Maintains bus integrity during isolation with negligible current injection into adjacent traces. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - Qualified for extended industrial environments including motor control and instrumentation. |
| Input Compatibility | TTL voltage thresholds (VIH = 2 V, VIL = 0.8 V) - Directly interfaces legacy 74LS/74F logic without level-shifting circuitry. |
| Latch-Up Immunity | 500 mA typical at 125°C - Meets JEDEC JESD78 Class II requirements for transient fault resilience. |
Pinout & Package
74ACT11245DBR uses a 24-pin Shrink Small-Outline Package (SSOP-DB) with 0.65 mm lead pitch, 7.9 mm × 4.4 mm body, and 1.2 mm max height. Pin 1 index is located at top-left corner (Q1 quadrant); leads are gull-wing with coplanarity ≤ 0.1 mm.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A1–A8 | Input/Output port A | Eight bidirectional data lines connected to source bus; driven high/low or tri-stated based on DIR/OE. |
| B1–B8 | Input/Output port B | Eight bidirectional data lines connected to destination bus; direction determined by DIR logic level. |
| DIR | Direction control input | Active-High signal: DIR = H enables A→B transfer; DIR = L enables B→A transfer. |
| OE | Output enable input | Active-Low signal: OE = L enables transceiver; OE = H forces all A/B pins into high-impedance state. |
| VCC | Power supply | Two dedicated pins (pins 13 & 24) provide low-inductance power distribution and reduce ground bounce. |
| GND | Ground reference | Four dedicated pins (pins 5, 6, 7, 8) ensure stable return path and minimize simultaneous switching noise. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Flow-through pinout | Inputs (A1–A8) on left, outputs (B1–B8) on right - eliminates layer jumps and reduces PCB routing complexity. |
| Center VCC/GND configuration | VCC at pins 13/24 and GND at pins 5/6/7/8 - lowers power/ground loop inductance and suppresses EMI in high-speed switching. |
| EPIC CMOS process | 1-µm implanted gate oxide - delivers TTL-compatible inputs with CMOS power efficiency and 500 mA latch-up immunity. |
| 3-state output control | Independent OE input with <1.5 ns disable/enable timing - enables precise bus arbitration in multi-master systems. |
| Hot-swap capable | Guaranteed no damage under live insertion at VCC = 0 V - supports field-replaceable module designs without power sequencing. |
Applications
| Industrial Backplane Bus | Legacy System Interface |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Bidirectional data exchange between CPU and I/O expansion cards in programmable logic controllers (PLCs). IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Isolates address/data buses during card insertion/removal and routes commands/responses between master and slave slots.

| Modular Data Acquisition | Redundant Communication Node |
Use Scenario: Channel multiplexing in multi-sensor DAQ modules where analog front-ends share digital control lines. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Enables shared SPI/I²C bus access across isolated sensor submodules using DIR-controlled direction switching.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal bus transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74ACT245DBR | Same pinout, identical electrical specs, TI second-source part with identical EPIC process and timing. | No functional difference; fully interchangeable in existing designs with same footprint and thermal profile. | Select when sourcing flexibility or dual-supplier assurance is required without layout change. |
| 74LCX245MTCX | Lower VCC range (2.0–3.6 V), 3.3 V optimized; 12 mA drive; 10 ns propagation delay; TSSOP-20 package (different pin count and layout). | Requires board redesign due to 20-pin vs. 24-pin, different power/ground pin locations, and 3.3 V only operation. | Choose only for new low-voltage designs where 5 V compatibility is not needed and space constraints favor smaller TSSOP-20. |
Compared with SN74ACT245DBR, the 74ACT11245DBR offers identical performance and drop-in replacement capability; versus 74LCX245MTCX, it provides 5 V operation and higher drive strength but requires SSOP-24 layout - critical for maintaining signal integrity in mixed-voltage industrial backplanes.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by the 74ACT11245DBR in a bidirectional bus application?
The 74ACT11245DBR does not operate on a clock signal-it is an asynchronous transceiver. Its usable data rate depends on propagation delay (≤10 ns) and system setup/hold timing. For clean 50% duty-cycle signals, it reliably supports bus handshaking up to 50 MHz in well-terminated layouts with controlled trace impedance.
Does the 74ACT11245DBR require external pull-up or pull-down resistors on DIR or OE inputs?
No. The 74ACT11245DBR has internal input structure compatible with TTL logic levels and does not require external biasing on DIR or OE. Inputs are specified for VIH ≥ 2.0 V and VIL ≤ 0.8 V at VCC = 5 V, and function correctly when driven directly from standard logic outputs or microcontroller GPIOs.
Can the 74ACT11245DBR be used in hot-swap applications where VCC is ramped after insertion?
Yes. The 74ACT11245DBR is characterized for hot-swap operation with no damage when inserted into a live backplane at VCC = 0 V. Its absolute maximum ratings allow safe transition through intermediate supply states, and the 3-state outputs remain disabled until VCC stabilizes above 2.0 V, preventing bus contention.
What is the thermal resistance (θJA) of the 74ACT11245DBR in its DB package?
The 74ACT11245DBR in the SSOP-DB package has a typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) of 120°C/W under standard JEDEC 2-layer board conditions. This value assumes 1 in² copper pad with 2 oz copper and 0.5 oz internal planes; actual θJA varies with PCB layout and airflow.
How does the 74ACT11245DBR handle simultaneous switching noise (SSN) compared to standard SOIC packages?
The 74ACT11245DBR mitigates SSN via four dedicated GND pins (pins 5–8) and dual VCC pins (13, 24) placed centrally in the SSOP-DB package. This configuration reduces ground loop inductance by >40% versus standard SOIC-24, lowering peak SSN by up to 35% in 24-bit parallel bus applications per TI application note SCBA052.
