Product details
Overview
74ACT11245DW 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 industrial control and embedded computing systems. It operates from –40°C to 85°C, supports 4.5 V to 5.5 V supply, delivers ±24 mA output drive, and features flow-through pinout for optimized PCB layout.
For engineers reviewing the 74ACT11245DW datasheet, 74ACT11245DW pinout, 74ACT11245DW application, or 74ACT11245DW equivalent, this page provides verified functional role, timing characteristics (tPLH/tPHL ≤ 10 ns), 3-state isolation behavior, and package-specific thermal and layout guidance for SOIC-24 implementation.
Technical Context
The 74ACT11245DW implements dual-directional bus communication via DIR-controlled signal path selection (A→B or B→A) and OE-gated 3-state output enable/disable. Its EPIC (Enhanced-Performance Implanted CMOS) 1-µm process ensures TTL-voltage-compatible inputs and rail-to-rail output swing under load.
Center-pin VCC and GND placement minimizes high-speed switching noise, while flow-through architecture aligns input and output pins on opposite sides of the SOIC-24 package to reduce trace crossovers and signal integrity degradation in dense digital backplanes.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - Ensures compatibility with 5 V logic systems and margin against rail droop in noisy environments. |
| Output Drive | ±24 mA - Sufficient to drive standard TTL loads and multiple CMOS inputs without external buffering. |
| Propagation Delay | tPLH/tPHL ≤ 10 ns - Enables reliable operation in 50 MHz–100 MHz bus clock domains with timing margin. |
| 3-State Leakage | ±0.5 µA max - Guarantees high-impedance isolation between buses during disable, preventing contention or leakage-induced logic errors. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to 85°C - Qualified for industrial-grade deployment in programmable logic controllers and motor drive interfaces. |
| Input Compatibility | TTL-voltage compatible (VIH = 2 V, VIL = 0.8 V) - Directly interfaces with legacy 74LS/74F families without level-shifting circuitry. |
| Power Dissipation | 1.7 W max (DW package at TA = 55°C) - Requires minimal heatsinking in typical board-level airflow conditions. |
Pinout & Package
74ACT11245DW uses a 24-pin SOIC (DW) package with 300-mil width, JEDEC MS-013 compliant outline, and center-aligned power/ground pins (pins 10–11 VCC, pins 12–13 GND) to suppress simultaneous switching noise.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A1–A8 | Input/Output port A | Unidirectional data terminals for A-bus side; driven by internal transceiver when DIR/OE enable A→B path. |
| B1–B8 | Input/Output port B | Unidirectional data terminals for B-bus side; driven when DIR/OE enable B→A path; isolated otherwise. |
| DIR | Direction control | Active-High logic selects B→A data flow; Active-Low selects A→B flow; no internal pull-up/down. |
| OE | Output enable | Active-Low enables 3-state outputs; High forces all A/B pins into high-impedance state for bus isolation. |
| VCC (pins 10,11) | Supply | Dual center VCC pins reduce IR drop and improve decoupling effectiveness across wide SOIC body. |
| GND (pins 12,13) | Reference | Dual center GND pins provide low-inductance return path and minimize ground bounce during switching. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Flow-through architecture | Input and output pins placed on opposite package edges to eliminate layer crossovers and reduce trace length in bus routing. |
| Center-pin VCC/GND | Paired VCC (pins 10–11) and GND (pins 12–13) minimize power delivery loop inductance and suppress simultaneous switching noise. |
| EPIC CMOS process | 1-µm implanted CMOS delivers TTL-compatible input thresholds and 500 mA latch-up immunity at 125°C for robust field operation. |
| 3-state output control | Independent OE input disables both A and B ports simultaneously, enabling clean bus arbitration in multi-master systems. |
| Wide temperature range | –40°C to +85°C qualification supports deployment in industrial enclosures without forced cooling or derating. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal bus transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 74ACT245DW | Same pinout, identical electrical specs, but lacks DIR input - uses separate A→B and B→A enable controls (OE1/OE2). | Requires additional control logic for direction management; less suitable for single-wire DIR-driven systems. | Select 74ACT245DW only if existing design uses discrete direction gating or requires independent A/B output control. |
| SN74LVC245APWR | 3.3 V only (1.65–3.6 V), lower drive (±24 mA), smaller TSSOP-24 package, higher speed (tPD ≈ 5.3 ns). | Not voltage-compatible with 5 V buses; requires level shifters when interfacing with legacy 5 V logic. | Choose SN74LVC245APWR for new 3.3 V designs prioritizing size and speed; avoid for mixed-voltage or retrofit applications. |
Compared with 74ACT11245DW, 74ACT245DW offers identical 5 V performance but demands extra control signals, while SN74LVC245APWR enables compact 3.3 V designs at the cost of 5 V interoperability - making 74ACT11245DW the optimal choice for industrial 5 V bus isolation where DIR simplification and legacy compatibility are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature for the 74ACT11245DW?
The 74ACT11245DW is characterized for operation from –40°C to +85°C ambient temperature. This industrial-grade specification is validated per TI's SCAS031C datasheet and applies to the SOIC (DW) package variant. Thermal derating is not required within this range, and the device maintains full electrical performance including ±24 mA output drive and ≤10 ns propagation delay across the entire span.
Does the 74ACT11245DW support 3.3 V logic levels?
No, the 74ACT11245DW is a 5 V-only device with recommended supply voltage of 4.5 V to 5.5 V. Its inputs are TTL-voltage compatible (VIH = 2.0 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max), but it does not guarantee correct operation below 4.5 V. For 3.3 V systems, TI recommends alternatives like SN74LVC245APWR - the 74ACT11245DW must be used with level-shifting circuitry if interfacing to 3.3 V logic.
How does the DIR pin function in the 74ACT11245DW?
The DIR pin on the 74ACT11245DW is a direction-control input that determines data flow path: when DIR = Low, data passes from A bus to B bus; when DIR = High, data passes from B bus to A bus. This single-pin control eliminates need for separate A→B and B→A enables. DIR has no internal pull-up or pull-down, so external biasing is required in floating scenarios to prevent undefined state.
What is the purpose of the dual VCC and GND pins on the 74ACT11245DW SOIC package?
The 74ACT11245DW SOIC (DW) package features two VCC pins (10 and 11) and two GND pins (12 and 13) positioned centrally to minimize power delivery loop inductance and suppress simultaneous switching noise. This layout reduces ground bounce and improves signal integrity in high-speed bus applications - a key differentiator from older DIP or single-power-pin SOIC logic devices.
Is the 74ACT11245DW RoHS compliant and lead-free?
Yes, the 74ACT11245DW is RoHS compliant and lead-free, with CU NIPDAU terminal finish and Green (RoHS & no Sb/Br) eco plan designation. It meets JEDEC Level-1 moisture sensitivity rating (MSL-1, 260°C peak reflow) and is qualified for standard Pb-free soldering processes. The part marking "ACT11245" appears on the top surface, consistent with TI's production release documentation dated November 2025.
