Product details
Overview
74AHC245PW,112 from Nexperia is an octal 3-state bus transceiver with bidirectional data flow controlled by DIR and output enable (OE) inputs. It operates from 2.0 V to 5.5 V, supports mixed-voltage translation via overvoltage-tolerant inputs up to 5.5 V, and delivers balanced propagation delays as low as 3.5 ns (VCC = 5 V, CL = 15 pF). It is used in microcontroller I/O expansion, FPGA-to-ASIC data bridging, and level-shifting between 3.3 V and 5 V subsystems.
For engineers reviewing the 74AHC245PW,112 datasheet, 74AHC245PW,112 pinout, 74AHC245PW,112 application, or 74AHC245PW,112 equivalent, key selection criteria include its CMOS-level input compatibility, 20-pin TSSOP package, -40 °C to +125 °C operating range, and verified 8-bit bidirectional bus isolation capability under dynamic load conditions.
Technical Context
The device implements a dual-rail 8-bit transceiver architecture with independent direction (DIR) and output enable (OE) control logic. OE is active-low and forces all outputs into high-impedance state regardless of DIR state, while DIR determines data flow direction between A- and B-buses. All inputs feature Schmitt-trigger action for noise immunity.
It supports voltage translation across supply domains: A-side and B-side I/O tolerate up to 5.5 V independent of VCC, enabling safe interfacing between 3.3 V logic and 5 V peripherals without external level shifters. Propagation delay symmetry (tpd A→B ≈ tpd B→A) ensures deterministic timing in full-duplex or time-multiplexed bus configurations.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.0 V to 5.5 V - Enables direct operation from 3.3 V or 5 V rails without regulators. |
| Propagation Delay (tpd) | 3.5 ns (typ, VCC = 5 V, CL = 15 pF) - Supports >100 MHz bus toggle rates in short-trace applications. |
| Input Voltage Tolerance | Up to 5.5 V - Allows use as level translator between 3.3 V and 5 V systems without external components. |
| Operating Temperature | -40 °C to +125 °C - Qualified for industrial and extended-temperature embedded control environments. |

| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (DIR) | Direction control input | LOW enables data flow A→B; HIGH enables B→A; referenced to VCC. |
| 2–9 (A0–A7) | Port A data I/O | Bidirectional pins on A-side; tolerate 5.5 V regardless of VCC. |

| 11–18 (B7–B0) | Port B data I/O | Bidirectional pins on B-side; identical voltage tolerance and drive specs as A-side. |
| 19 (OE) | Output enable (active LOW) | Drives all A/B outputs to high-impedance when HIGH; overrides DIR state. |
| 20 (VCC) | Supply voltage | Primary power rail (2.0–5.5 V); powers internal logic and output drivers. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Overvoltage-tolerant inputs | Withstand 5.5 V on A/B pins while VCC = 2.0–5.5 V - eliminates need for external clamping diodes in mixed-voltage buses. |
| Schmitt-trigger inputs | Hysteresis >0.3 V typical - rejects noise on slow-rising or noisy control lines (DIR/OE). |
| CMOS-level input thresholds | VIH = 3.85 V (min, VCC = 5.5 V); VIL = 1.65 V (max) - compatible with standard 3.3 V and 5 V logic families. |
| High noise immunity | Typical noise margin >1.2 V at VCC = 5 V - maintains signal integrity in electrically noisy industrial enclosures. |
| Latch-up immunity | Exceeds 100 mA per JESD78 Class II Level A - prevents destructive latch-up during transient overvoltage events. |
Applications
| Microcontroller I/O Expansion | FPGA-to-ASIC Data Bridging |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal bus transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 74AHCT245PW,112 | TTL-compatible inputs (VIH = 2.0 V min); otherwise identical pinout, timing, and packaging. | Required where driving source is legacy 5 V TTL (e.g., 74LS series) with marginal 3.3 V high-level output. | Select when interfacing with older 5 V logic families lacking CMOS-level drive strength. |
| SN74LVC245APWR | Lower VCC range (1.65–3.6 V); LVTTL input thresholds; 3.6 V absolute max on I/O pins. | Restricted to 3.3 V-only systems; cannot translate to 5 V peripherals without external circuitry. | Choose only for pure 3.3 V designs requiring lower static current (<1 μA ICC) and smaller footprint. |
Compared with 74AHCT245PW,112, the 74AHC245PW,112 offers superior noise immunity and wider voltage translation but requires CMOS-level input sources; versus SN74LVC245APWR, it trades lower quiescent power for broader interoperability across 2.0–5.5 V domains.

FAQ
Can 74AHC245PW,112 be used to translate between 1.8 V and 3.3 V logic?
No. The 74AHC245PW,112 has a minimum VCC of 2.0 V and does not guarantee proper operation below that threshold. Its inputs are overvoltage tolerant up to 5.5 V, but internal logic requires ≥2.0 V supply to meet VIH/VIL specifications. For 1.8 V systems, consider the 74LVC245 or dedicated level translators.
What is the maximum capacitive load this device can drive reliably?
The datasheet specifies timing parameters up to 50 pF load capacitance (CL), with tpd ≤ 9.5 ns at VCC = 5 V. Driving >50 pF may increase propagation delay nonlinearly and degrade edge rate; for heavier loads, add series termination or buffer stages. Output current remains within ±8 mA limits up to CL = 50 pF with 1 kΩ RL.
Is the thermal pad on the TSSOP20 package electrically connected?
No. The exposed pad on the SOT360-1 (TSSOP20) package is not electrically connected to any internal node. Per Nexperia's datasheet, it may remain floating or be soldered to GND for thermal improvement, but no electrical connection is required or specified.
How does OE interact with DIR during state transitions?
OE is asynchronous and dominant: when OE is HIGH, all A/B outputs enter high-impedance state immediately, regardless of DIR value or data activity. DIR only affects data flow direction when OE is LOW. This allows clean bus arbitration-OE can be asserted before changing DIR to avoid bus contention.
