Product details
Overview
74FCT2245ATQG8 from Renesas Electronics is a FAST CMOS octal bidirectional transceiver with industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C), 5V supply, ±15mA output drive, and true TTL input/output compatibility (VOH = 2.4V min at –15mA, VOL = 0.5V max at 12mA). It enables asynchronous two-way data bus communication in embedded control systems.
For engineers reviewing the 74FCT2245ATQG8 datasheet, 74FCT2245ATQG8 pinout, 74FCT2245ATQG8 application, or 74FCT2245ATQG8 equivalent, key selection criteria include direction control via T/R input, high-impedance tri-state operation via active-low OE, balanced drive with current-limiting resistors, and SOIC/QSOP package compatibility for legacy bus interface designs.
Technical Context
The 74FCT2245ATQG8 implements an asynchronous bidirectional data path between two 8-bit buses using dual-metal CMOS technology. Direction is controlled by the T/R input: logic HIGH enables A→B transmission, logic LOW enables B→A reception. Output enable (OE) is active-low and places both A and B ports in high-Z when asserted.
It features resistor-limited outputs (–15mA IOH, 12mA IOL), low ground bounce, controlled fall times, and meets JEDEC Standard 18. The device is a plug-in replacement for 74FCT245T, with identical pinout and function but improved noise immunity and drive strength.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Supply | 5.0V ±5% - fixed single-rail operation compatible with legacy TTL/CMOS systems |
| Propagation Delay | 1.5–4.6 ns (A↔B) - supports high-speed bus handshaking up to ~200 MHz effective toggle rate |
| Output Drive | –15mA IOH / 12mA IOL - sufficient to drive 50Ω terminated lines or multiple TTL inputs without external buffers |
| Input Levels | VIH = 2.0V min, VIL = 0.8V max - ensures robust logic recognition across voltage margins and noise |
| Leakage Current | ≤1 μA (max) - minimizes standby power and prevents unintended bus loading during high-Z states |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial control, motor drives, and factory automation environments |
Pinout & Package
74FCT2245ATQG8 is packaged in a 20-pin QSOP (Quarter-size Small Outline Package) with 0.65 mm pitch, RoHS-compliant and green-processed.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| OE (Pin 1) | Active-low output enable | Disables both A and B ports into high-impedance state; critical for bus arbitration and multi-master systems |
| T/R (Pin 2) | Transmit/Receive direction control | HIGH = A→B data flow; LOW = B→A data flow; asynchronous, no clock required |
| A0–A7 (Pins 3–4, 7–10) | Side-A bidirectional I/O | Connects to local processor/data bus; driven or sensed depending on T/R state |
| B0–B7 (Pins 12–19) | Side-B bidirectional I/O | Connects to peripheral or expansion bus; electrically isolated from A side except during active transfer |
| VCC (Pin 20) | Power supply | 5V rail with decoupling required near pin; powers internal logic and output drivers |
| GND (Pin 11) | Ground reference | Common return for all I/O and supply currents; must be low-inductance connection to minimize switching noise |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Resistor-limited outputs | Integrated current-limiting resistors reduce ground bounce and eliminate need for external series termination |
| TTL-compatible I/O | Guaranteed VOH ≥2.4V at –15mA and VOL ≤0.5V at 12mA - interoperable with standard 5V TTL logic families |
| Low leakage | ≤1 μA max input/output leakage - preserves bus integrity during high-Z states and reduces static power |
| JEDEC Std 18 compliance | Fully compliant with industry-standard timing, voltage, and drive requirements for 5V bus transceivers |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bidirectional bus transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 74FCT2245CTQG8 | Same function and pinout; C-grade (0°C to +70°C) instead of A-grade (–40°C to +85°C) | Limited to commercial-temperature environments; not suitable for industrial enclosures or outdoor equipment | Select only if ambient operating temperature remains within 0–70°C and cost sensitivity outweighs thermal margin |
| SN74LVC245APWR | 3.3V-only supply (1.65–3.6V), lower drive (±24mA), different voltage thresholds (VIH = 2.0V min at 3.3V) | Requires level-shifting when interfacing with 5V buses; incompatible without translation circuitry | Choose only for new 3.3V-only designs where power efficiency and smaller footprint outweigh legacy 5V compatibility |

FAQ
What is the operating voltage range for the 74FCT2245ATQG8?
The 74FCT2245ATQG8 operates at a nominal VCC of 5.0V ±5%, meaning its valid supply range is 4.75V to 5.25V. It is not rated for 3.3V or mixed-voltage operation. This fixed 5V requirement ensures compatibility with legacy TTL systems and guarantees specified drive strength, timing, and noise margins per JEDEC Standard 18.
Does the 74FCT2245ATQG8 support hot-swap or live-insertion on a powered bus?
The 74FCT2245ATQG8 supports hot-swap operation when OE is held HIGH (disabled) during insertion, placing both A and B ports in high-Z. Its absolute maximum terminal voltage rating (–0.5V to VCC+0.5V) and ≤1μA leakage ensure safe biasing before activation. However, T/R and OE must be controlled by system logic after insertion to avoid bus contention.
How does the 74FCT2245ATQG8 differ from the 74FCT245T series?
The 74FCT2245ATQG8 is a direct plug-in replacement for the 74FCT245T series, sharing identical pinout, function, and timing. Key improvements include enhanced output drive (–15mA/12mA vs. –12mA/12mA), tighter propagation delay (4.6ns max vs. 5.0ns), and integrated current-limiting resistors that reduce ground bounce and eliminate external termination needs.
Can the 74FCT2245ATQG8 interface directly with 3.3V logic devices?
No, the 74FCT2245ATQG8 is a 5V-only device with TTL-compatible input thresholds (VIH = 2.0V min) and 5V output swing. While 3.3V logic outputs may meet its VIH threshold, its 5V outputs exceed the absolute maximum input voltage (typically 3.6V) of most 3.3V devices and will cause damage without level-shifting circuitry such as resistive dividers or dedicated translators.
What package type is used for the 74FCT2245ATQG8 and is it RoHS-compliant?
74FCT2245ATQG8 uses a 20-pin QSOP (Quarter-size Small Outline Package) with 0.65 mm lead pitch. Per the ordering information in the datasheet, the "QG" suffix denotes green (halogen-free, lead-free) processing, and the device complies with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and REACH regulations.
