Product details
Overview
74AHC245D-Q100 from Nexperia is an automotive-grade octal bus transceiver with 3-state outputs, direction control (DIR), and active-low output enable (OE). It operates across 2.0 V to 5.5 V supply, supports bidirectional data flow between A- and B-buses, features overvoltage-tolerant inputs up to 5.5 V, and is qualified to AEC-Q100 Grade 1 (−40 °C to +125 °C) for engine control and body electronics applications.
For engineers reviewing the 74AHC245D-Q100 datasheet, 74AHC245D-Q100 pinout, 74AHC245D-Q100 application, or 74AHC245D-Q100 equivalent, key selection criteria include its CMOS-level input compatibility, 8-bit bidirectional translation capability, SO20 package with side-wettable flanks, propagation delay down to 3.5 ns at 5 V, and automotive qualification status - all critical for mixed-voltage CAN gateway interfaces, ADAS sensor hubs, and infotainment domain controllers.
Technical Context
This device implements a dual-rail 8-bit bidirectional bus interface with independent DIR and OE control logic. Its Schmitt-trigger inputs enhance noise immunity in noisy automotive environments, while overvoltage tolerance enables safe interfacing between 3.3 V microcontrollers and 5 V legacy peripherals without level-shifting circuitry.
The SO20 (SOT163-1) package provides mechanical robustness and AOI-compatible side-wettable flanks for automated optical inspection in high-reliability automotive PCB assembly. The device's balanced tPLH/tPHL propagation delays ensure deterministic timing in synchronous data transfers between ECUs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.0 V to 5.5 V - Enables interoperability across 3.3 V and 5 V automotive subsystems without external regulators. |
| Operating Temperature | −40 °C to +125 °C - Qualified per AEC-Q100 Grade 1 for under-hood and powertrain applications. |
| Propagation Delay (tpd) | 3.5 ns (typ) at VCC = 5.0 V, CL = 15 pF - Supports high-speed data handshaking in real-time control loops. |
| Input Voltage Tolerance | Up to 5.5 V regardless of VCC - Allows direct connection to higher-voltage buses without clamping diodes. |
| Output Drive Strength | ±8 mA at VCC = 4.5 V - Sufficient to drive 15 pF loads across 10 cm traces in ECU backplanes. |
| ESD Protection | HBM > 2000 V, CDM > 1000 V - Meets stringent automotive ESD immunity requirements per ISO 10605. |
| Power Dissipation | 500 mW max (SO20) - Supports continuous operation in sealed enclosures with limited airflow. |
Pinout & Package
74AHC245D-Q100 uses the SO20 plastic small outline package (SOT163-1), 20-pin, 7.5 mm body width, with side-wettable flanks for automated optical inspection of solder joints.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (DIR) | Direction control input | LOW enables A→B data flow; HIGH enables B→A - determines bus traffic direction in real time. |
| 2–9 (A0–A7) | Port A data I/O | 8-bit bidirectional data channel connected to MCU or ASIC side of interface. |
| 10 (GND) | Ground reference | 0 V return path for all internal logic and I/O - must be low-inductance connection in automotive layouts. |
| 11–18 (B0–B7) | Port B data I/O | 8-bit bidirectional data channel connected to peripheral or legacy subsystem side. |
| 19 (OE) | Output enable (active LOW) | Drives all outputs to high-impedance when HIGH - essential for bus arbitration and hot-swap isolation. |
| 20 (VCC) | Supply voltage | Primary power rail - decoupling capacitor (100 nF) required within 5 mm per JEDEC standards. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification | Validated for −40 °C to +125 °C operation with full parametric testing - eliminates need for additional qualification in Tier 1 designs. |

| CMOS input thresholds | VIH = 3.85 V (min) at VCC = 5.5 V; VIL = 1.65 V (max) - ensures reliable logic recognition across voltage tolerances in 5 V domains. |
| Side-wettable flanks (SWF) | Exposed copper on package sides - enables automated X-ray and AOI verification of solder joint integrity in SMT reflow processes. |
Applications
| Engine Control Unit Interface | ADAS Camera Hub |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal bus transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 74AHCT245D-Q100 | TTL-compatible inputs (VIH = 2.0 V min); identical pinout and package | Better suited for interfacing with legacy 5 V TTL logic; slightly higher ICC at 5 V | Select when connecting to older microcontrollers or discrete TTL gates requiring lower VIH thresholds. |
| SN74LVC245AQPWRQ1 | Lower VCC range (1.65–3.6 V); LVTTL input thresholds; TSSOP20 package | Optimized for 3.3 V-only systems; not rated for 5 V operation or overvoltage tolerance | Choose only for pure 3.3 V domains where cost and footprint are prioritized over mixed-voltage flexibility. |
Compared with 74AHCT245D-Q100, the 74AHC245D-Q100 offers superior noise margin in 5 V systems due to CMOS thresholds, while SN74LVC245AQPWRQ1 trades overvoltage tolerance for lower static power - making the 74AHC245D-Q100 the optimal choice for heterogeneous automotive voltage domains requiring robustness and interoperability.

FAQ
Is the 74AHC245D-Q100 pin-compatible with standard 74-series transceivers?
Yes - it uses the industry-standard SO20 pinout defined in SOT163-1, matching 74LS245, 74HC245, and 74HCT245 footprints. Pin 1 (DIR), pins 2–9 (A0–A7), pin 10 (GND), pins 11–18 (B0–B7), pin 19 (OE), and pin 20 (VCC) align identically, enabling drop-in replacement in existing layouts without redesign.
What is the maximum capacitive load this device can drive reliably?
The 74AHC245D-Q100 is characterized up to 50 pF load capacitance per output, with tpd = 7.5 ns (max) and tdis = 12.5 ns (max) at VCC = 5.0 V. Driving >50 pF requires external series termination or reduced slew rate control via PCB trace impedance matching to maintain signal integrity.
Does the GND pin (pin 10) require a dedicated thermal pad connection?
No - pin 10 is the functional ground reference only. The SO20 package has no exposed thermal pad. Thermal dissipation relies on copper pour under the leads and standard PCB thermal vias; no special grounding or soldering of auxiliary pads is needed or specified.
Can OE and DIR be tied together for unidirectional operation?
Yes - tying OE and DIR to the same control signal configures the device as a unidirectional buffer (A→B only when both are LOW). However, this forfeits independent enable/disable control and disables B→A functionality; use only when direction is fixed and bus arbitration is unnecessary.
