Product details
Overview
74AHCT245D,118 from Nexperia is an octal 3-state bus transceiver with TTL-compatible input thresholds, direction control (DIR), and active-low output enable (OE). It operates from 4.5 V to 5.5 V, supports bidirectional data flow between A- and B-buses, features overvoltage-tolerant inputs up to 5.5 V, and is rated for -40 °C to +125 °C operation in SO20 package. It enables voltage-level translation and bus isolation in industrial microcontroller interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the 74AHCT245D,118 datasheet, 74AHCT245D,118 pinout, 74AHCT245D,118 application, or 74AHCT245D,118 equivalent, key selection criteria include TTL-level input compatibility, 3-state output timing (tpd ≤ 7.7 ns at 5 V/15 pF), SO20 thermal derating above 109 °C, and directional bus control logic in mixed-voltage systems.
Technical Context
The 74AHCT245D,118 implements a dual-rail bidirectional bus interface with independent DIR and OE control signals. Its TTL-compatible inputs (VIH = 2.0 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max at VCC = 4.5–5.5 V) ensure reliable interfacing with legacy 5 V logic families, while overvoltage tolerance (up to 5.5 V) allows safe operation when A- or B-side buses float or exceed VCC.
Propagation delay is asymmetrically optimized: tpd from A-to-B or B-to-A is ≤ 7.7 ns (typical 4.5 ns) at VCC = 5 V and CL = 15 pF; enable/disable times (ten/tdis) are ≤ 13.8 ns and ≤ 15.4 ns respectively under same conditions. The device uses standard CMOS output stages with rail-to-rail VOH/VOL and Schmitt-trigger inputs for noise immunity.
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 circuitry. |
| Input Thresholds | VIH = 2.0 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max - matches TTL logic levels for direct connection to 74LS/74F families. |
| Propagation Delay | ≤ 7.7 ns (CL = 15 pF, VCC = 5 V) - enables high-speed bidirectional data transfer in 20–25 MHz bus applications. |
| Output Drive | ±8 mA (VOH/VOL guaranteed at 5 V) - sufficient to drive 10 LSTTL loads or 15 pF PCB traces without buffering. |
| Operating Temperature | -40 °C to +125 °C - qualified for under-hood automotive modules, industrial PLC backplanes, and extended-range embedded controllers. |
| Input Overvoltage Tolerance | Up to 5.5 V regardless of VCC - permits safe hot-plug operation and mixed-supply bus arbitration without external clamping diodes. |
| Power Dissipation | 500 mW max (SO20, Tamb ≤ 109 °C); derates 12.3 mW/K above - defines thermal limits for continuous operation in enclosed enclosures. |
Pinout & Package
74AHCT245D,118 is supplied in SO20 (SOT163-1) plastic small outline package: 20-pin, 7.5 mm body width, 1.27 mm pitch, gull-wing leads. Thermal pad is not present; JEDEC MS-013 compliant footprint.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (DIR) | Direction control input | LOW routes data from A-side to B-side; HIGH routes from B-side to A-side - enables full-duplex bus arbitration in master/slave configurations. |
| 2–9 (A0–A7) | Port A data I/O | Bi-directional terminals tied to local controller or microprocessor data bus - require no external pull-ups when used as outputs in 3-state mode. |
| 10 (GND) | Ground reference | 0 V return path for all internal logic and output drivers - must be low-inductance connected to system ground plane. |
| 11–18 (B0–B7) | Port B data I/O | Bi-directional terminals connected to peripheral bus or memory subsystem - electrically isolated from A-side when OE is HIGH. |
| 19 (OE) | Output enable (active LOW) | Drives all A/B outputs to high-impedance when HIGH - used for bus contention avoidance during multi-master arbitration. |
| 20 (VCC) | Supply voltage | +4.5 V to +5.5 V power rail - requires local 100 nF ceramic decoupling placed within 5 mm of pin 20. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| TTL-compatible inputs | VIH = 2.0 V min / VIL = 0.8 V max at 5 V - eliminates need for external level translators when interfacing with 74LS, 74F, or older microcontrollers. |
| Overvoltage-tolerant I/O | Withstands 5.5 V on any input or output regardless of VCC - enables safe use in hot-swap backplanes and mixed-voltage board designs. |
| Schmitt-trigger inputs | Hysteresis ≥ 0.3 V typical - rejects noise on slow-rising or long-trace control lines (DIR/OE), preventing metastability in noisy industrial environments. |
| Low dynamic power | CPD = 15 pF - reduces switching current consumption in high-frequency bus toggling (e.g., 10 MHz address/data bursts). |
| Extended temperature range | Specified from -40 °C to +125 °C - supports deployment in engine control units, motor drives, and outdoor telecom equipment without derating. |
Applications
| Industrial PLC Backplane Interface | Microcontroller Peripheral Expansion |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Isolating CPU data bus from modular I/O cards in a programmable logic controller rack with shared backplane wiring. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional bus transceiver managing data flow between ARM Cortex-M7 host and isolated CAN/RS-485 slave modules via DIR-controlled A↔B paths. Use Value: Prevents bus contention during card insertion/removal; 3-state outputs allow multiple transceivers to share one backplane segment without hardware arbitration logic. | Use Scenario: Expanding GPIO count of an STM32F407 MCU by connecting parallel LCD controller and SD card interface to separate 8-bit data ports. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Direction-controlled data bridge enabling simultaneous read/write operations: DIR = LOW for LCD write, DIR = HIGH for SD read, OE synchronized to peripheral chip selects. Use Value: Eliminates need for discrete MOSFET switches or CPLD glue logic; propagation delay <8 ns ensures timing compliance with 20 MHz LCD pixel clocks and 25 MHz SD data rates. |
| Legacy System Voltage Translation | Test Equipment Bus Arbitration |
Use Scenario: Interfacing a modern 3.3 V FPGA I/O bank to legacy 5 V TTL test instrumentation (e.g., logic analyzers, pattern generators) without level-shifter ICs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Level-translating transceiver operating at VCC = 5 V, accepting 3.3 V logic on A-side (overvoltage tolerant) and driving 5 V outputs on B-side. Use Value: Enables direct connection to 5 V test gear using only passive decoupling; VIH/VIL thresholds guarantee noise-immune recognition of FPGA output swings. | Use Scenario: Managing shared JTAG/SWD debug bus among multiple SoCs on a production test fixture where only one device may drive the bus at a time. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: 3-state bus isolator controlled by test sequencer - OE asserts per-device to prevent signal collisions during boundary-scan chain configuration. Use Value: Reduces fixture complexity by replacing mechanical relays or analog switches; fast disable time (<15.5 ns) ensures glitch-free bus handoff between DUTs. |

FAQ
What is the maximum clock/data rate supported by 74AHCT245D,118?
The 74AHCT245D,118 does not operate on a clock; it is asynchronous. Its usable data rate depends on propagation delay and bus loading. With tpd ≤ 7.7 ns (VCC = 5 V, CL = 15 pF), it supports reliable bidirectional transfers up to ~25 MHz in well-terminated 8-bit buses. For sustained 50% duty-cycle toggling, limit frequency to ≤ 20 MHz to maintain setup/hold margins.
Can 74AHCT245D,118 interface between 3.3 V and 5 V buses?
Yes - its inputs tolerate up to 5.5 V regardless of VCC, allowing 3.3 V devices to drive the A-side while VCC = 5 V powers B-side outputs. However, outputs swing rail-to-rail: A-side outputs will be 0–5 V, so receiving 3.3 V logic must be overvoltage-tolerant or buffered. Direct 3.3 V receiver connection is safe only if the receiver accepts 5 V inputs.
Is the SO20 package lead-free and RoHS-compliant?
Yes - the 74AHCT245D,118 in SO20 (SOT163-1) package is manufactured per Nexperia's standard RoHS-compliant process, with lead-free matte tin terminations and halogen-free molding compound. It meets EU Directive 2011/65/EU and is rated for SnPb reflow profiles (JEDEC J-STD-020D) and lead-free soldering (260 °C peak).
How does DIR and OE interact during bus switching?
OE is prioritized: when OE = HIGH, all outputs go high-impedance regardless of DIR state. When OE = LOW, DIR determines direction - DIR = LOW enables A→B flow; DIR = HIGH enables B→A flow. This allows safe bus handoff: assert OE first to tri-state, change DIR, then de-assert OE to engage new direction - eliminating bus glitches.
