Product details
Overview
74ACT11245PWE4 from Texas Instruments is an octal bus transceiver 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), ±24 mA drive strength at 5 V, flow-through pinout architecture, and operates from –40°C to 85°C.
For engineers reviewing the 74ACT11245PWE4 datasheet, 74ACT11245PWE4 pinout, 74ACT11245PWE4 application, or 74ACT11245PWE4 equivalent, this device supports high-speed bus isolation in industrial control backplanes, legacy computing interconnects, and mixed-voltage logic interface designs where low-noise switching and TTL-level compatibility are required.
Technical Context
The 74ACT11245PWE4 implements dual 8-bit bidirectional data paths controlled by a single DIR input and shared OE signal. Its EPIC (Enhanced-Performance Implanted CMOS) 1-μm process enables TTL-compatible input thresholds (VIL = 0.8 V, VIH = 2.0 V) while delivering rail-to-rail 3-state outputs with 1.5 ns propagation delay typical.
Center-aligned VCC and GND pins minimize simultaneous switching noise; the flow-through package layout (A1–A8 on left, B1–B8 on right, DIR/OE centrally located) reduces PCB trace crosstalk. Absolute maximum ratings include 7 V supply tolerance and ±50 mA output clamp current.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - Ensures stable operation across standard 5 V ±10% power rails. |
| Drive Strength | ±24 mA - Supports direct connection to standard TTL loads without external buffering. |
| Propagation Delay | 1.5–10 ns - Enables reliable operation up to ~100 MHz bus clocking in point-to-point configurations. |
| Input Compatibility | TTL voltage levels (VIH = 2.0 V, VIL = 0.8 V) - Interoperates directly with legacy 74LS/74F logic families. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - Qualified for industrial-grade embedded systems and control equipment. |
| 3-State Leakage | ±0.5 μA max - Maintains bus integrity during high-impedance state with minimal DC loading. |
| Power Dissipation | 0.7 W (PW package) - Compatible with standard TSSOP thermal management in dense layouts. |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP-24 (PW) package: 4.4 mm × 5.0 mm body, 0.65 mm pitch, 1.2 mm max height, JEDEC MO-153 compliant. Center VCC (pin 13) and dual GND (pins 5, 6, 19, 20) reduce ground bounce.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A1–A8 | Input/Output port A | Left-side 8-bit bus interface; driven when DIR = H and OE = L for A→B transfer. |
| B1–B8 | Input/Output port B | Right-side 8-bit bus interface; driven when DIR = L and OE = L for B→A transfer. |
| DIR | Direction control | Active-High selects A→B; Active-Low selects B→A - no external logic needed for bus arbitration. |
| OE | Output enable | Active-Low enables transceiver; High forces all A/B pins into high-impedance state for bus isolation. |
| VCC | Power supply | Pin 13 only - center placement minimizes supply inductance and improves PSRR at high frequencies. |
| GND | Ground reference | Pins 5, 6, 19, 20 - distributed grounding reduces return-path impedance and EMI. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Flow-through pinout architecture | Enables straight PCB trace routing between A and B buses, reducing stub length and signal reflections. |
| Center-pin VCC and multiple GND pins | Reduces simultaneous switching noise by >3 dB compared to edge-fed SOIC packages under 50-MHz toggle conditions. |
| EPIC 1-μm CMOS process | Delivers TTL-compatible inputs with <1 μA input leakage and 500 mA latch-up immunity at 125°C. |
| 3-state output isolation | Guarantees <±0.5 μA off-state current, preventing bus contention in multi-driver systems. |
| Wide operating temperature range | –40°C to +85°C qualification ensures reliability in uncontrolled industrial enclosures and outdoor electronics. |

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 ACT family, identical pinout and AC specs; differs only in package marking and tape/reel configuration. | No functional difference - fully interchangeable in PCB layout and firmware control logic. | Select SN74ACT245DBR for SSOP-24 volume procurement where reel size (2000 pcs) aligns with SMT line planning. |
| 74LCX245MTCX | Lower 3.3 V supply operation (2.7–3.6 V); higher 64 mA drive; 5 V tolerant inputs but not outputs. | Requires level-shifting for 5 V bus connections; unsuitable for pure 5 V systems without external circuitry. | Choose 74LCX245MTCX only when migrating to 3.3 V core logic and retaining 5 V peripheral compatibility via input tolerance. |
Compared with SN74ACT245DBR, the 74ACT11245PWE4 offers identical electrical behavior in 5 V systems but with TSSOP packaging optimized for space-constrained layouts; versus 74LCX245MTCX, it provides native 5 V operation without translation overhead but lacks 3.3 V supply efficiency.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by the 74ACT11245PWE4?
The 74ACT11245PWE4 does not operate on a clock; it is an asynchronous transceiver. Its 1.5–10 ns propagation delay enables reliable use in bus systems with data rates up to approximately 100 MHz, assuming proper PCB layout and load capacitance ≤50 pF. Timing is governed by input transition rates (≤10 ns/V) and output loading, not a system clock.
Is the 74ACT11245PWE4 compatible with 3.3 V logic inputs?
No - the 74ACT11245PWE4 requires 4.5–5.5 V supply and has TTL-compatible input thresholds (VIH = 2.0 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max). While 3.3 V logic HIGH may exceed VIH in some cases, it violates recommended operating conditions and risks marginal functionality. Use level shifters or 74LVC245 for guaranteed 3.3 V interoperability.
Does the 74ACT11245PWE4 support hot-swap operation?
The 74ACT11245PWE4 supports controlled hot-swap via its OE pin: asserting OE = HIGH places all A/B pins in high-impedance state before power-up or during insertion. However, it lacks built-in bus-hold or power-on reset circuitry, so external sequencing and current-limiting design are required for full hot-swap compliance.
What is the thermal resistance (θJA) of the 74ACT11245PWE4 in the PW package?
For the TSSOP-24 (PW) package, θJA is 120°C/W under standard JEDEC JESD51-2 conditions (single-layer 1-oz copper, 1 in² pad). This value is derived from the 0.7 W maximum power dissipation rating at TA = 55°C and junction temperature limit of 150°C, consistent with TI's published thermal characterization for PW-packaged ACT devices.
Can the 74ACT11245PWE4 be used for unidirectional data transfer?
Yes - tie DIR to a fixed logic level (e.g., VCC for A→B only or GND for B→A only) and control data flow exclusively via OE. This configures the 74ACT11245PWE4 as an octal 3-state buffer in either direction, simplifying control logic in applications requiring one-way isolation or expansion.
