Product details
Overview
74FCT2245CTSOG8 from Renesas Electronics is a FAST CMOS octal bidirectional transceiver with true TTL input/output compatibility, ±15mA output drive (IOH/IOH), 4.1ns max propagation delay (74FCT2245CT grade), and industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C). It enables asynchronous two-way data transfer between 8-bit buses in memory expansion, bus isolation, and level-shifting applications.
For engineers reviewing the 74FCT2245CTSOG8 datasheet, 74FCT2245CTSOG8 pinout, 74FCT2245CTSOG8 application, or 74FCT2245CTSOG8 equivalent, key selection criteria include direction control via T/R pin, 3-state output enable (OE active-low), SOIC-20 green package compatibility, and guaranteed 2.4V VOH at –15mA load under minimum VCC.
Technical Context
The 74FCT2245CTSOG8 implements dual-metal CMOS logic with resistor-limited outputs to suppress ground bounce and control edge rates-eliminating need for external series termination. Its T/R pin selects unidirectional flow (A→B on high, B→A on low), while OE independently places both A and B ports into high-Z state.
It meets JEDEC Standard 18, supports TTL-level inputs (VIH ≥ 2.0V, VIL ≤ 0.8V), and delivers balanced drive strength: –15mA IOH and +12mA IOL at VOUT = 1.5V. Quiescent ICC is ≤1mA, and dynamic current scales linearly with toggle frequency and number of active outputs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Supply | 5.0V ±5% - fixed single-rail operation; no internal regulation or wide-VCC support |
| Propagation Delay | 4.1ns max (tPLH/tPHL, CL = 50pF) - enables >200MHz bus handshaking in synchronous systems |
| Output Drive | –15mA IOH / +12mA IOL - sufficient to drive 50Ω transmission lines or multiple TTL loads without buffers |
| Input Leakage | ≤±1μA (IIH/IIL) - ensures minimal bus loading during high-Z states and reduces static power in idle systems |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial environments including factory automation and motor control cabinets |
| Capacitance | CIN ≤10pF, COUT ≤12pF - low pin capacitance preserves signal integrity on fast-switching 8-bit parallel buses |
Pinout & Package
74FCT2245CTSOG8 is housed in a 20-pin Small Outline IC (SOIC) green package (SOG), 7.5mm body width, 1.27mm pitch, RoHS-compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (OE) | Active-low output enable | Drives all A and B ports into high-Z when high; critical for bus arbitration and multi-master isolation |
| 2 (T/R) | Direction control input | High = A→B data flow; low = B→A; asynchronous, no clock dependency |
| 3–10 (A0–A7) | Side-A bidirectional I/O | Connects to local bus (e.g., microcontroller data bus); shares pins for input and output based on T/R state |
| 11 (GND) | Ground reference | Primary return path for all I/O and supply currents; requires low-inductance PCB connection |
| 12–19 (B0–B7) | Side-B bidirectional I/O | Connects to remote bus (e.g., peripheral or memory module); electrically isolated from A side except through transceiver core |
| 20 (VCC) | Power supply | +5V supply only; no internal decoupling - external 0.1μF ceramic capacitor required per device |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Resistor-limited outputs | Integrated current-limiting resistors reduce ground bounce and eliminate need for external series termination resistors |
| TTL-compatible I/O | VOH = 2.4V min at –15mA ensures reliable HIGH recognition by legacy TTL devices; VOL = 0.5V max at +12mA guarantees LOW margin |
| Low quiescent current | ICC ≤1mA at static conditions enables use in power-sensitive industrial controllers without thermal derating |
| JEDEC Std 18 compliance | Validated interoperability with industry-standard 5V logic families, simplifying qualification in mixed-vendor systems |
Applications
| Memory Expansion Interface | Industrial Bus Isolation |
|---|---|

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Synchronizing burst-mode data transfers; T/R toggled per packet; OE gated by handshake signals. Use Value: 12mA IOL drives capacitive DUT loads up to 100pF directly; low COUT minimizes skew across all 8 bits. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal bidirectional transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74F245N | Faster tPLH (3.5ns typ), but higher ICC (5mA typ), no integrated output resistors, non-RoHS through-hole only | Requires external termination; unsuitable for new green-design programs or space-constrained SOIC layouts | Select only for legacy repair or where raw speed outweighs power and layout constraints |
| 74LCX245MTCX | 3.3V-only supply, 3.6V-tolerant I/O, lower drive (±24mA), 5.5ns max delay, TSSOP-20 package | Designed for mixed-voltage 3.3V/5V systems; not drop-in for 5V-only designs due to VCC limitation | Choose when interfacing 3.3V FPGAs to 5V peripherals using level translation, not direct replacement |
Compared with SN74F245N and 74LCX245MTCX, the 74FCT2245CTSOG8 uniquely balances 5V TTL compatibility, integrated noise suppression, industrial temp rating, and RoHS-compliant SOIC packaging-making it optimal for new industrial control designs requiring reliability and supply-chain longevity.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency supported by the 74FCT2245CTSOG8?
The 74FCT2245CTSOG8 does not specify a maximum clock frequency because it is an asynchronous transceiver. Its usable data rate depends on propagation delay (4.1ns max) and system setup/hold timing. In practice, it reliably supports bus handshaking up to 200MHz in well-terminated 8-bit parallel interfaces, assuming proper PCB layout and load capacitance ≤50pF.
Does the 74FCT2245CTSOG8 support hot insertion or live bus swapping?
No, the 74FCT2245CTSOG8 is not hot-swap rated. Its absolute maximum ratings specify VTERM = –0.5V to VCC+0.5V on I/O pins, with no built-in bus-hold or power-up/down protection. Applying signals before VCC stabilization may cause latch-up. For hot-swap applications, external protection circuitry or dedicated hot-swap transceivers are required.
Can the 74FCT2245CTSOG8 be used with 3.3V logic systems?
The 74FCT2245CTSOG8 requires a 5.0V ±5% supply and is not 3.3V-compatible. While its inputs accept 3.3V as valid HIGH (VIH min = 2.0V), outputs swing to 3.3V typical VOH only under light load; driving 3.3V CMOS inputs directly risks marginal noise margins. Use level translators like 74LVC245 for mixed-voltage interconnects.
What is the function of the T/R and OE pins on the 74FCT2245CTSOG8?
The T/R (Transmit/Receive) pin controls data direction: high enables A→B flow, low enables B→A flow. The OE (Output Enable) pin is active-low and disables both A and B ports simultaneously by placing them in high-impedance state. These functions operate independently-OE can override T/R to force tristate regardless of direction setting.
Is the 74FCT2245CTSOG8 pin-compatible with the older 74F245?
Yes, the 74FCT2245CTSOG8 is a functional and pin-compatible upgrade to the 74F245 in SOIC-20 packaging. It retains identical pinout, electrical signaling (TTL-compatible), and control logic (OE active-low, T/R direction), while improving ICC (1mA vs 50mA), reducing ground bounce, and adding industrial temperature qualification.
