Product details
Overview
74FCT2245ATSOG from Renesas Electronics (formerly IDT) is a fast CMOS octal bidirectional transceiver in SOIC-20 package, operating at 5V with industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C). It features true TTL-compatible I/O (VOH = 3.3V typ., VOL = 0.3V typ.), ±15mA output drive, and 3-state control via OE and T/R pins for asynchronous bus interfacing.
For engineers reviewing the 74FCT2245ATSOG datasheet, 74FCT2245ATSOG pinout, 74FCT2245ATSOG application, or 74FCT2245ATSOG equivalent, key selection criteria include bidirectional data flow direction control, low ground bounce due to built-in current-limiting resistors, high-impedance isolation during disable, and compatibility with legacy FCT245T designs.
Technical Context
The 74FCT2245ATSOG implements asynchronous bidirectional data transfer between two 8-bit buses using dual-control logic: OE (active-low) enables/disables both A and B ports globally, while T/R (active-high transmit) selects direction - A→B when high, B→A when low. Its advanced dual-metal CMOS process ensures CMOS power efficiency with TTL-level interface robustness.
It delivers balanced drive strength (–15mA IOH, 12mA IOL), controlled output fall times, and reduced system switching noise - eliminating need for external series termination resistors. The device meets JEDEC Standard 18 and supports plug-in replacement of 74FCT245T in existing layouts.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Supply | 5.0V ±5% - fixed single-rail operation compatible with legacy 5V TTL/CMOS systems |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial environments without derating |
| IOH / IOL | –15mA / 12mA - sufficient drive for unterminated stubs and moderate fanout without external buffers |
| tPLH / tPHL | 1.5ns min / 4.6ns max - sub-5ns propagation enables high-speed bus bridging up to ~200MHz toggle rate |
| CIN / COUT | 6–10pF / 8–12pF - low capacitive loading minimizes signal integrity impact on source and load buses |
| ICC Quiescent | 1mA max - ultra-low static power ideal for always-on bus isolation in power-sensitive systems |
| VIH / VIL | 2.0V min / 0.8V max - guaranteed recognition of standard TTL logic levels across full temperature range |
Pinout & Package
74FCT2245ATSOG is housed in a 20-pin Small Outline IC (SOIC) package with green RoHS-compliant finish (SOG suffix), measuring 12.8mm × 7.5mm × 2.65mm, standard pitch 1.27mm.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (OE) | Active-low output enable | Disables both A and B ports simultaneously into high-Z state; critical for bus arbitration and multi-driver contention avoidance |
| 2 (T/R) | Transmit/receive direction control | High = A→B data flow; Low = B→A; enables dynamic bus reversal without reconfiguration logic |
| 3–10 (A0–A7) | Side-A bidirectional I/O | Connects to local bus; functions as input or 3-state output depending on T/R and OE states |
| 11 (GND) | Ground reference | Primary return path for all I/O and supply currents; must be low-inductance connection to minimize ground bounce |
| 12–19 (B0–B7) | Side-B bidirectional I/O | Connects to remote bus; mirrors A-side behavior with opposite directionality under T/R control |
| 20 (VCC) | Power supply | 5V supply rail; requires local 0.1μF ceramic decoupling adjacent to pin to suppress switching noise |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Resistor-limited outputs | Integrated current-limiting resistors reduce ground bounce and undershoot, enabling direct connection to unterminated traces |
| TTL-compatible I/O | Guaranteed VOH ≥2.4V at –15mA and VOL ≤0.5V at 12mA ensures interoperability with legacy 5V logic families |

| Plug-in FCT245T replacement | Identical pinout and function allow drop-in upgrade from 74FCT245T with improved noise immunity and drive capability |
| Low leakage | ≤1μA max input/output leakage over temperature ensures reliable high-Z state retention in battery-backed or standby modes |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal bidirectional transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 74FCT2245CTQG | Same core logic and specs, but in QSOP-20 package (4.4mm width vs SOIC-20's 7.5mm); slightly higher thermal resistance | Better suited for space-constrained boards where footprint area is prioritized over thermal margin | Select when board real estate is limited and thermal load remains low; verify trace width and copper pour for heat dissipation |
| SN74F245N | Older bipolar F-series; higher ICC (30mA typ.), slower tPLH/tPHL (10ns max), no integrated current-limiting resistors | Requires external termination and generates more ground bounce; suitable only for legacy redesigns with strict form-factor constraints | Choose only if backward compatibility with obsolete F245 layouts is mandatory; expect higher power and noise penalties |
Compared with 74FCT2245CTQG and SN74F245N, the 74FCT2245ATSOG offers optimal balance of speed, noise control, and industrial reliability in standard SOIC packaging - making it preferred for new designs requiring robust 5V bus interfacing without layout compromise.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by the 74FCT2245ATSOG for reliable data transfer?
The 74FCT2245ATSOG does not operate on a clock - it is an asynchronous transceiver. Its 4.6ns max propagation delay (tPLH/tPHL) supports reliable data toggling up to approximately 200MHz under typical 50pF load conditions. System-level timing depends on bus capacitance, drive strength, and layout; actual usable frequency must be validated per application with worst-case setup/hold margins. The 74FCT2245ATSOG datasheet specifies no clock parameter because it lacks internal timing elements.
Does the 74FCT2245ATSOG support mixed-voltage operation between A and B sides?
No, the 74FCT2245ATSOG operates exclusively at a single 5V supply (VCC = 5.0V ±5%) and does not support mixed-voltage translation. Both A and B ports share the same VCC rail and exhibit TTL-compatible thresholds referenced to that supply. For level-shifting between different voltage domains, a dedicated level translator such as the TXB0108 or 74AVCH series is required instead of the 74FCT2245ATSOG.
Can the 74FCT2245ATSOG be used with 3.3V logic systems?
The 74FCT2245ATSOG is not rated for 3.3V operation: its absolute maximum VCC is 5.5V, minimum is 4.5V, and VIH/VIL thresholds are defined for 5V systems. Driving its inputs with 3.3V logic may result in marginal or non-functional HIGH recognition (VIH min = 2.0V, but margin shrinks at temperature extremes). To interface with 3.3V systems, use a 3.3V-compatible transceiver like the 74LVC245A or add a level-shifter - the 74FCT2245ATSOG itself must be powered at 5V.
What is the purpose of the current-limiting resistors inside the 74FCT2245ATSOG?
The integrated current-limiting resistors in the 74FCT2245ATSOG reduce ground bounce and output undershoot by controlling edge slew rates and limiting peak output current during switching. This design eliminates the need for external series termination resistors on PCB traces, simplifies layout, and improves signal integrity in noisy industrial environments. These resistors are intrinsic to the output driver structure and are not user-configurable - they define the –15mA/12mA drive capability of the 74FCT2245ATSOG.
Is the 74FCT2245ATSOG pin-compatible with the 74FCT245T series?
Yes, the 74FCT2245ATSOG is explicitly documented as a plug-in replacement for the 74FCT245T series, sharing identical pinout, function, and electrical specifications. Both devices use the same SOIC-20 or QSOP-20 packages and support identical OE/T/R control logic. The 74FCT2245ATSOG improves upon the 74FCT245T with enhanced noise immunity and tighter timing, making it a direct drop-in upgrade without PCB changes.
