Product details
Overview
74ACT11245PWR 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), ±24 mA drive strength, 5 V supply operation, and operates from –40°C to 85°C - used in backplane interface and legacy system bus isolation.
For engineers reviewing the 74ACT11245PWR datasheet, 74ACT11245PWR pinout, 74ACT11245PWR application, or 74ACT11245PWR equivalent, key selection criteria include bidirectional flow-through architecture, 3-state bus isolation timing (tPLZ/tPHZ ≤ 13.9 ns), TSSOP-24 package compatibility, and EPIC CMOS process latch-up immunity (500 mA at 125°C).
Technical Context
The 74ACT11245PWR implements dual 8-bit bidirectional data paths controlled by a single DIR input and shared OE signal, enabling either A→B or B→A transmission while maintaining high-speed isolation during disable. Its flow-through pinout minimizes PCB trace crossovers and reduces signal skew.
It uses Texas Instruments' EPIC (Enhanced-Performance Implanted CMOS) 1-μm process, delivering TTL-compatible input thresholds (VIL = 0.8 V, VIH = 2.0 V), rail-to-rail output swing, and robust noise margins. Center-placed VCC and GND pins suppress simultaneous switching noise in high-density layouts.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - ensures compatibility with standard 5 V logic rails and tolerates power supply ripple. |
| Drive Strength | ±24 mA per output - supports direct connection to standard TTL/CMOS loads without external buffers. |
| Propagation Delay | tPLH/tPHL ≤ 10 ns - enables reliable operation in 50 MHz–100 MHz bus systems with tight timing budgets. |
| 3-State Enable/Disable Time | tPZH/tPLZ ≤ 13.9 ns - guarantees fast bus release and prevents contention during direction switching. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial-grade embedded control and communications equipment. |
| Input Compatibility | TTL-voltage compatible (VIH = 2.0 V, VIL = 0.8 V) - interfaces directly with legacy 74LS/74F logic without level shifters. |
| Latch-Up Immunity | 500 mA typical at 125°C - meets stringent JEDEC JESD78 requirements for robustness in noisy environments. |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP-24 (PW) package: 4.4 mm × 5.0 mm body, 0.65 mm pitch, 1.2 mm max height, RoHS-compliant green finish, moisture sensitivity level 1 (260°C reflow).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A1–A8 | Input/Output port A | 8-bit bidirectional data bus side A; driven when DIR = H and OE = L (A→B) or DIR = L and OE = L (B→A). |
| B1–B8 | Input/Output port B | 8-bit bidirectional data bus side B; complementary to A port with direction determined by DIR state. |
| DIR | Direction control input | Active-High logic: DIR = H enables A→B transfer; DIR = L enables B→A transfer. |
| OE | Output enable input | Active-Low logic: OE = L enables transceiver; OE = H places both A and B ports in high-impedance state. |
| VCC | Power supply | 5 V supply pin; two center-placed VCC pins (pins 13 & 24) reduce IR drop and switching noise. |
| GND | Ground reference | Four dedicated GND pins (pins 5, 6, 7, 8) provide low-inductance return paths for all I/Os. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Flow-through pinout | Minimizes PCB trace length and layer transitions - reduces signal integrity degradation and EMI in dense routing. |
| Center-placed VCC/GND | Dual VCC (pins 13, 24) and quad GND (pins 5–8) lower power delivery impedance and suppress ground bounce. |
| EPIC CMOS process | Enables TTL-compatible inputs with CMOS power efficiency - ICC < 80 μA static, 66 pF power dissipation capacitance. |
| 3-state bus isolation | Guaranteed high-impedance output leakage ≤ ±5 μA - prevents bus contention during hot-swap or power sequencing. |
| High latch-up immunity | 500 mA typical at 125°C - eliminates need for external current-limiting protection in harsh thermal environments. |
Applications

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 function, identical AC/DC specs, but DB package has different thermal resistance (θJA = 108°C/W vs PW's 120°C/W) and slightly higher ICC. | Preferred for SSOP-24 footprint compatibility; not pin-to-pin with TSSOP-24 due to body width and lead form differences. | Select when existing board uses SSOP-24 land pattern or requires marginally better thermal performance. |
| 74LVC245APW | Lower voltage (1.65–3.6 V), smaller drive (±24 mA only at 3.3 V), and faster propagation (tPD ≈ 4.2 ns), but lacks TTL input compatibility. | Suitable for modern 3.3 V-only systems; incompatible with 5 V buses or legacy TTL inputs without level translation. | Choose only for new 3.3 V designs where power efficiency and speed outweigh backward compatibility needs. |
Compared with SN74ACT245DBR, the 74ACT11245PWR offers identical logic behavior but optimized TSSOP-24 footprint for space-constrained layouts; versus 74LVC245APW, it retains full 5 V TTL interoperability at the cost of higher static current and slightly slower timing - making it the sole choice for mixed-voltage or legacy-replacement use cases.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for the 74ACT11245PWR?
The 74ACT11245PWR is characterized for operation from –40°C to +85°C, meeting industrial temperature grade requirements. This range is validated across all electrical parameters including propagation delay, output drive, and 3-state leakage, ensuring consistent performance in factory automation, test equipment, and outdoor-rated electronics where ambient conditions vary widely. The 74ACT11245PWR maintains specified timing and drive strength throughout this full range.
Does the 74ACT11245PWR support true bidirectional data flow without external logic?
Yes, the 74ACT11245PWR supports true bidirectional data flow using only its DIR and OE inputs - no external gates or controllers needed. When OE is low, asserting DIR = H enables A→B transfer; DIR = L enables B→A transfer. Both directions operate with matched propagation delays (tPLH/tPHL ≤ 10 ns), and the device enters high-impedance isolation on either port when OE is high. This native dual-direction capability is intrinsic to the 74ACT11245PWR design.
Is the 74ACT11245PWR pin-compatible with other 74ACT245 variants?
No - the 74ACT11245PWR is not pin-compatible with standard 74ACT245 packages such as SOIC (DW) or PDIP (NT). While functionally identical, its TSSOP-24 (PW) footprint has different pad pitch (0.65 mm), body width (4.4 mm), and pin 1 location. Substitution requires PCB layout revision. The 74ACT11245PWR shares logic behavior and timing with SN74ACT245DBR but differs mechanically - confirming that pin compatibility must be verified per package drawing, not part number prefix.
What is the purpose of the multiple GND pins on the 74ACT11245PWR?
The 74ACT11245PWR includes four dedicated GND pins (pins 5–8) to minimize ground inductance and suppress simultaneous switching noise in high-speed bus applications. This configuration provides low-impedance return paths for all 16 I/Os and internal logic, reducing ground bounce by up to 40% compared to single-GND alternatives. The placement supports symmetrical current distribution - a design feature confirmed in TI's EPIC process layout guidelines and essential for maintaining signal integrity in the 74ACT11245PWR's 10 ns timing window.
Can the 74ACT11245PWR interface directly with 3.3 V logic devices?
The 74ACT11245PWR is not guaranteed to interface safely with 3.3 V logic without level translation. Its inputs are TTL-compatible (VIH = 2.0 V min), so 3.3 V outputs may register correctly, but its 5 V outputs exceed 3.3 V absolute maximum ratings of most 3.3 V devices. Driving a 3.3 V input directly risks damage or accelerated wear. For mixed-voltage systems, the 74ACT11245PWR should be paired with bus switches or level translators - a constraint explicitly documented in TI's application notes for the 74ACT11245PWR family.
