Product details
Overview
74ACT11245PW 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-voltage-compatible systems. It features direction control (DIR), output enable (OE), flow-through pinout architecture, ±24 mA drive capability at 5 V, and operates across –40°C to 85°C.
For engineers reviewing the 74ACT11245PW datasheet, 74ACT11245PW pinout, 74ACT11245PW application, or 74ACT11245PW equivalent, this device supports bidirectional data routing in industrial backplanes, legacy computing interfaces, and memory-mapped I/O expansion where low-noise switching, latch-up immunity (500 mA typical), and 3-state isolation are critical.
Technical Context
The 74ACT11245PW implements dual 8-bit bidirectional data paths controlled by a single DIR input and globally enabled/disabled via OE. Its EPIC (Enhanced-Performance Implanted CMOS) 1-µm process delivers TTL-compatible input thresholds (VIL = 0.8 V, VIH = 2 V) while maintaining CMOS power efficiency and noise margin.
Center-pin VCC and GND placements minimize high-speed switching noise; propagation delays range from 1.5 ns (min) to 10 ns (max) for A↔B data transfer, and 1.5–13.9 ns for OE-controlled output enable/disable transitions. Absolute maximum ratings include VCC up to 7 V and continuous output current of ±50 mA.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage (VCC) | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - Ensures compatibility with standard 5 V TTL/CMOS logic rails and stable operation under rail tolerance. |
| Drive Strength | ±24 mA - Sufficient to directly drive standard 50 Ω transmission lines or multiple TTL inputs without external buffers. |
| Propagation Delay (tPLH/tPHL) | 1.5 ns (min) to 10 ns (max) - Enables high-speed bus arbitration in real-time control and data acquisition systems. |
| 3-State Leakage (IOZ) | ±0.5 µA (typ) - Guarantees robust bus isolation during disable mode, preventing signal contention in shared-bus architectures. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - Qualified for industrial environments including programmable logic controllers and motor drive interfaces. |
| Input Capacitance (Ci) | 4 pF - Minimizes loading on upstream drivers, preserving signal integrity in high-frequency parallel bus designs. |
| Latch-Up Immunity | 500 mA typical at 125°C - Provides inherent resilience against transient-induced latch-up in noisy industrial power domains. |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP-24 (PW) package: 4.4 mm × 5.0 mm body, 0.65 mm pitch, thin profile suitable for space-constrained PCBs. Pin 1 marked with dot; pinout follows flow-through architecture for optimal trace routing.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A1–A8 | Input/Output port A | 8-bit bidirectional data path connected to local bus or microcontroller peripheral interface. |
| B1–B8 | Input/Output port B | 8-bit bidirectional data path connected to remote bus, memory bank, or expansion slot. |
| DIR | Direction control input | High = A→B data flow; Low = B→A data flow - enables flexible bus topology reconfiguration. |
| OE | Output enable input | Low = active transceiver; High = all A/B outputs in high-impedance state - isolates buses during arbitration or standby. |
| VCC | Power supply | Two center pins (13, 24) reduce IR drop and improve decoupling effectiveness for high-speed switching. |
| GND | Ground reference | Four ground pins (5, 6, 7, 8) lower ground impedance and suppress simultaneous switching noise (SSN). |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Flow-through pinout architecture | Enables straight-line PCB trace routing between A and B ports, reducing crosstalk and stub length in high-speed parallel buses. |
| Center-pin VCC and quad-GND layout | Minimizes power/ground loop inductance and suppresses high-frequency noise during 10 ns-level switching transitions. |
| TTL-voltage compatible inputs | Accepts standard 0.8 V / 2.0 V logic thresholds - eliminates level-shifting requirements when interfacing with legacy 5 V microcontrollers. |
| EPIC 1-µm CMOS process | Delivers 500 mA latch-up immunity and low ICC (8 µA typ) - enhances reliability in electrically harsh industrial settings. |
| 3-state output control | Independent OE pin disables both A and B ports simultaneously - simplifies bus arbitration logic and prevents contention. |
Applications
| Industrial Backplane Interface | Legacy Computing 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 74ACT245PW | Same logic function and pinout; identical electrical specs except slightly higher ICC (10 µA typ vs. 8 µA). | No functional difference; used interchangeably in new designs where TI's ACT245 is preferred in inventory. | Select 74ACT245PW if sourcing flexibility across TI's ACT-family stock is prioritized over minor quiescent current reduction. |
| SN74LVC245APWR | Lower VCC range (1.65–3.6 V); 32 mA drive; LVTTL-compatible inputs; not TTL-voltage compatible. | Requires level-shifting for 5 V systems; suited for mixed-voltage 3.3 V/5 V interfaces or battery-powered designs. | Choose SN74LVC245APWR only when migrating to 3.3 V logic domains or needing higher drive strength at reduced voltage. |
Compared with 74ACT11245PW, the 74ACT245PW offers identical functionality with negligible quiescent current trade-off, while the SN74LVC245APWR requires system-level voltage adaptation but enables lower-power 3.3 V operation - making the 74ACT11245PW optimal for legacy 5 V industrial bus isolation.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the 74ACT11245PW?
The 74ACT11245PW is characterized for operation from –40°C to +85°C. This industrial temperature range ensures reliable performance in programmable logic controllers, motor drives, and factory automation equipment exposed to wide ambient thermal swings. The device maintains specified propagation delay, drive strength, and 3-state leakage across this full range.
Does the 74ACT11245PW support 3.3 V logic levels?
No, the 74ACT11245PW is designed for 5 V operation with VCC specified from 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 meet LVTTL or LVCMOS 3.3 V thresholds. Using it with 3.3 V signals risks unreliable switching; for 3.3 V systems, consider the SN74LVC245APWR instead.
How does the flow-through architecture of the 74ACT11245PW benefit PCB layout?
The flow-through pinout places A1–A8 on one side and B1–B8 on the opposite side, aligned linearly (e.g., A1 ↔ B1, A2 ↔ B2). This allows direct, short, parallel traces between transceiver and connected buses - minimizing stubs, differential skew, and crosstalk in high-speed parallel interfaces such as ISA or custom backplanes.
What is the significance of center-pin VCC and quad-GND in the 74ACT11245PW TSSOP package?
Placing VCC at pins 13 and 24, and GND at pins 5, 6, 7, and 8, reduces power/ground loop inductance and improves high-frequency decoupling. This configuration directly lowers simultaneous switching noise (SSN) during fast 10 ns transitions - a key factor in maintaining signal integrity in noise-sensitive industrial control systems.
Can the 74ACT11245PW be used as a unidirectional buffer?
Yes - by holding DIR at a fixed logic level (e.g., DIR = HIGH for A→B only) and controlling data flow via OE, the 74ACT11245PW functions as an octal unidirectional buffer. This mode simplifies interface design in applications like address latching or peripheral enable signaling where bidirectional operation is unnecessary.
