Product details
Overview
74ACT11245PWG4 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, EPIC CMOS process, and operates from –40°C to 85°C at 4.5–5.5 V supply.
For engineers reviewing the 74ACT11245PWG4 datasheet, 74ACT11245PWG4 pinout, 74ACT11245PWG4 application, or 74ACT11245PWG4 equivalent, key selection criteria include bidirectional bus isolation timing (tPLH/tPHL ≤ 10 ns), 24 mA drive strength, 3-state output leakage (±0.5 µA), input compatibility with TTL logic levels, and TSSOP-24 package suitability for high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The 74ACT11245PWG4 implements dual 8-bit bidirectional data paths controlled by a single DIR input and a shared OE input, enabling either A→B or B→A transmission or full bus isolation. Its flow-through architecture places inputs and outputs on opposite sides of the package to minimize trace crossovers.
Based on Texas Instruments' EPIC (Enhanced-Performance Implanted CMOS) 1-µm process, the device delivers TTL-compatible input thresholds (VIL = 0.8 V, VIH = 2.0 V), rail-to-rail output swing, and robust latch-up immunity (500 mA typical at 125°C), supporting stable operation in noisy industrial environments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - Ensures compatibility with standard 5-V TTL and CMOS systems without level-shifting. |
| Propagation Delay | tPLH/tPHL ≤ 10 ns - Enables reliable operation in high-speed digital backplanes up to ~50 MHz clock domains. |
| Output Drive | ±24 mA - Sufficient to drive 50-pF loads across 10-cm traces while maintaining signal integrity. |
| 3-State Leakage | ±0.5 µA - Guarantees minimal bus contention during isolation, critical for multi-drop bus arbitration. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - Qualified for extended industrial temperature range without derating. |
| Input Compatibility | TTL voltage thresholds (VIH = 2.0 V, VIL = 0.8 V) - Allows direct interfacing with legacy 74LS/74F logic without translators. |
| Power Dissipation | 0.7 W (PW package, TA = 55°C) - Supports continuous operation in compact surface-mount layouts with natural convection cooling. |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP-24 (PW) package: 7.8 mm × 4.4 mm body, 0.65 mm pitch, thin profile (1.2 mm max height), JEDEC MO-153 compliant, with center-aligned VCC and GND pins to suppress switching noise.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A1–A8 | Input/Output port A | 8-bit bidirectional data interface connected to local bus; driven high/low or placed in high-impedance state per DIR/OE. |
| B1–B8 | Input/Output port B | 8-bit bidirectional data interface connected to remote bus; direction relative to A determined by DIR logic level. |
| DIR | Direction control input | Active-HIGH selects A→B transfer; LOW selects B→A transfer - enables flexible bus topology reconfiguration. |
| OE | Output enable input | Active-LOW enables transceiver; HIGH forces all A/B outputs into 3-state - provides hardware-level bus isolation. |
| VCC | Power supply | Two dedicated pins (pins 24 and 19) reduce IR drop and improve PSRR in high-current switching scenarios. |
| GND | Ground reference | Four dedicated pins (pins 5, 6, 7, 8) lower ground impedance and minimize simultaneous switching noise (SSN). |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Flow-through architecture | Inputs on left side (A1–A8, DIR, OE), outputs on right side (B1–B8), and power/ground centered - eliminates layer jumps and reduces PCB routing complexity. |
| Center-pin VCC/GND configuration | Dual VCC (pins 19, 24) and quad GND (pins 5–8) placement minimizes high-frequency ground bounce and improves signal integrity in dense layouts. |
| EPIC CMOS process | 1-µm implanted CMOS technology delivers low static current (ICC ≤ 80 µA), high noise margin, and 500-mA latch-up immunity at 125°C. |
| TTL-voltage compatible inputs | Accepts standard TTL logic levels (0.8 V/2.0 V thresholds) - eliminates need for external level shifters when interfacing with legacy 74LS devices. |
| 3-state output control | Independent OE input disables both A and B ports simultaneously - ensures clean bus release without glitches during hot-swap or power sequencing. |
Applications
| Industrial PLC Backplane Interface | Legacy System Bus Bridge |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal bus transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74ACT245PWR | Same function, pinout, and specs; identical TSSOP-24 package and marking (AT245); manufactured by TI with identical EPIC process. | No functional or layout difference - direct second-source part with same qualification and reliability data. | Select when requiring TI-authorized alternate sourcing without redesign or requalification. |
| 74LCX245MTCX | Lower VCC range (2.0–3.6 V), higher speed (tPD ≈ 5.5 ns), but not TTL-input compatible - requires level translation for 5-V systems. | Suitable only in mixed-voltage 3.3-V domains; incompatible with direct 5-V TTL interfaces without additional circuitry. | Choose only for new 3.3-V designs where power efficiency and speed outweigh compatibility requirements. |
Compared with SN74ACT245PWR, the 74ACT11245PWG4 offers identical performance and drop-in compatibility; versus 74LCX245MTCX, it preserves 5-V TTL interoperability at the cost of slightly higher propagation delay and static current - making it the preferred choice for legacy system upgrades.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency supported by the 74ACT11245PWG4?
The 74ACT11245PWG4 does not specify a maximum clock frequency directly, but its worst-case propagation delay (tPLH/tPHL ≤ 10 ns) and 3-state enable/disable times (tPZH/tPLZ ≤ 13.9 ns) support reliable operation in asynchronous bus systems with effective data rates up to approximately 50 MHz. Actual usable frequency depends on load capacitance, trace length, and system timing margins - design validation is required for synchronous clocked applications.
Is the 74ACT11245PWG4 pin-compatible with the SN74ACT245 series?
Yes, the 74ACT11245PWG4 is functionally and physically pin-compatible with SN74ACT245PWR and other SN74ACT245 variants in TSSOP-24 packages. Both share identical pin assignments, electrical specifications, timing parameters, and device marking (AT245), making them direct second-source replacements without PCB or firmware changes.
Does the 74ACT11245PWG4 support hot-swap or live-insertion applications?
The 74ACT11245PWG4 supports hot-swap applications when used with proper power sequencing: its absolute maximum ratings allow VCC to be applied before or after inputs (VI range: –0.5 V to VCC + 0.5 V), and the OE pin enables deterministic bus isolation. However, it lacks built-in hot-swap protection circuitry (e.g., slew-rate limiting or current limiting), so external current-limiting resistors and staggered connector pin lengths are recommended for robust live-insertion.
What is the meaning of "PWG4" in the 74ACT11245PWG4 part number?
"PW" denotes the TSSOP (Thin Shrink Small-Outline Package) with 24 pins and 0.65 mm pitch; "G4" indicates Green (RoHS-compliant, no bromine/antimony flame retardants) finish with CU NIPDAU lead termination and JEDEC Level-1 moisture sensitivity rating (unlimited floor life at ≤30°C/60% RH). This suffix confirms compliance with environmental standards and specifies packaging and handling requirements.
Can the 74ACT11245PWG4 interface directly with 3.3-V logic devices?
No, the 74ACT11245PWG4 is not designed for direct 3.3-V logic interfacing. Its inputs require TTL-compatible thresholds (VIH = 2.0 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max) and operate only from 4.5–5.5 V supply. Driving 3.3-V inputs risks overvoltage damage, and accepting 3.3-V logic levels may result in marginal noise margins. A level-shifting solution (e.g., TXB0108 or discrete resistor divider) is required for safe 3.3-V/5-V domain bridging.
