Product details
Overview
74FCT245ATPGG8 from Renesas Electronics is a FAST CMOS octal bidirectional transceiver with TTL-compatible inputs/outputs, 5V supply operation, ±1µA max input leakage, -15mA IOH / 64mA IOL drive strength, and industrial temperature range (-40°C to +85°C). It enables asynchronous two-way data bus communication in backplane or board-level interconnect applications.
For engineers reviewing the 74FCT245ATPGG8 datasheet, 74FCT245ATPGG8 pinout, 74FCT245ATPGG8 application, or 74FCT245ATPGG8 equivalent, key selection criteria include direction control (T/R), 3-state output enable (OE), high-drive capability for bus loading, live-insertion support, and TSSOP-20 package compatibility with JEDEC standard 18.
Technical Context
The 74FCT245ATPGG8 implements an octal bidirectional data path controlled by separate Transmit/Receive (T/R) and Output Enable (OE) signals. Data flows A→B when T/R = HIGH and OE = LOW; B→A when T/R = LOW and OE = LOW; both ports enter high-impedance state when OE = HIGH - independent of T/R state.
It uses advanced dual-metal CMOS technology to achieve true TTL voltage compatibility (VOH = 3.3V typ., VOL = 0.3V typ.) while maintaining CMOS power efficiency (ICC ≤ 1mA typ.). The device meets JEDEC Std-18 and supports live insertion via power-off disable 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 | 1.5–4.1 ns (A↔B) - enables high-speed bus bridging up to ~200 MHz system timing |
| Output Drive | -15mA IOH / +64mA IOL - drives heavy capacitive loads and multiple TTL inputs without buffers |
| Input Leakage | ≤ ±1 µA - ensures stable logic levels in low-power standby or high-impedance bus states |
| Operating Temp | -40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial environments including factory automation and telecom infrastructure |
| Package | TSSOP-20 (PGG20) - 0.65mm pitch, surface-mount, footprint-compatible with SOIC-20 but 30% smaller area |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP-20 (PGG20) package: 20-pin thin shrink small outline package with 0.65 mm lead pitch, exposed pad not present, RoHS-compliant matte tin lead finish.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (OE) | Active-Low Output Enable | Disables both A and B ports to high-Z when HIGH; required for bus arbitration and hot-swap isolation |
| 2 (T/R) | Direction Control Input | HIGH = A→B data flow; LOW = B→A data flow; synchronous with OE assertion |
| 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 state |
| 11 (GND) | Ground Reference | Primary signal return; must be low-inductance connection to minimize ground bounce during switching |
| 12–19 (B0–B7) | Side-B Bidirectional I/O | Connects to remote bus; mirrors A-side behavior with opposite directionality |
| 20 (VCC) | Power Supply | +5V supply only; decoupling capacitor (0.1 µF ceramic) required within 5 mm of this pin |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| True TTL-compatible I/O | VOH ≥ 2.4V @ –6mA and VOL ≤ 0.55V @ 48mA ensures interoperability with legacy 5V TTL systems without level shifters |
| Live-insertion support | Outputs disable to high-Z when VCC = 0V - permits safe insertion/removal into powered backplanes or hot-swap carriers |
| Low dynamic power | ICCD ≤ 0.25 mA/MHz - reduces total bus power at 10 MHz toggle rate versus standard LS-TTL equivalents |
| JEDEC Std-18 compliance | Validated against industry-standard AC/DC parametric limits - simplifies qualification for military and industrial programs |
Applications
| Industrial Backplane Interconnect | Legacy System Bus Extension |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Bridging CPU and peripheral buses across multi-slot industrial backplanes with mixed-voltage subsystems. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Octal bidirectional transceiver providing direction-controlled, 3-state-isolated data transfer between isolated bus segments.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Synchronizing asynchronous read/write handshaking between MCU and slower peripherals via direction-controlled data latching. Use Value: Reduces GPIO pin count by 50% versus discrete directional buffers; supports burst-mode transfers with <5 ns 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 | Lower drive (–15mA/32mA), no live-insertion support, wider propagation delay (15 ns max), PDIP-20 only | Limited to non-hot-swap, low-speed legacy designs; lacks TSSOP packaging and industrial temp rating | Select only if cost-sensitive and operating below 5 MHz with no hot-swap requirement |
| 74LVC245APW | 3.3V-only supply (1.65–3.6V), higher speed (2.4 ns typ.), but incompatible with 5V TTL signaling | Requires level translation for 5V systems; unsuitable for direct 74FCT245ATPGG8 replacement without circuit modification | Prefer for new 3.3V designs needing lower power and faster timing; not a drop-in substitute |
Compared with SN74F245N and 74LVC245APW, the 74FCT245ATPGG8 uniquely delivers 5V TTL compatibility, industrial temperature operation, live-insertion capability, and TSSOP-20 packaging in a single device - making it the only choice for upgrading legacy 5V bus systems requiring reliability and space efficiency.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock/data frequency supported by the 74FCT245ATPGG8?
The 74FCT245ATPGG8 does not operate on a clock; it is an asynchronous transceiver. Its usable data rate depends on propagation delay (≤4.1 ns) and system setup/hold timing. In practice, it reliably supports bidirectional data transfers up to 100–150 MHz in well-terminated 5V bus systems, assuming proper PCB layout and load capacitance ≤50 pF per line.
Does the 74FCT245ATPGG8 support hot-swap or live-insertion?
Yes, the 74FCT245ATPGG8 supports live insertion: its outputs enter high-impedance state when VCC = 0V, preventing bus contention during board insertion into a powered backplane. This behavior is verified per MIL-STD-883 Class B and is intrinsic to the device's power-off disable architecture.
What is the function of the T/R and OE pins on the 74FCT245ATPGG8?
On the 74FCT245ATPGG8, OE (pin 1) is active-low and globally disables both A and B ports to high-Z when HIGH. T/R (pin 2) controls direction: HIGH enables A→B data flow, LOW enables B→A flow - but only when OE is LOW. Both signals are CMOS-compatible with TTL voltage thresholds.
Is the 74FCT245ATPGG8 pin-compatible with the 74LS245?
Yes, the 74FCT245ATPGG8 is pin-compatible with the 74LS245 in TSSOP-20 (PGG20) and SOIC-20 packages. Pin numbering, signal names (A0–A7, B0–B7, OE, T/R, VCC, GND), and functional behavior match exactly - enabling direct replacement with improved drive strength, lower power, and better noise immunity.
What package type does the 74FCT245ATPGG8 use, and what does 'PGG8' signify?
The 74FCT245ATPGG8 uses a TSSOP-20 package (Renesas code PGG20). The 'PGG8' suffix indicates Tape-and-Reel packaging (8 = reel), Thin Shrink Small Outline Package (PGG), 20-pin count, and industrial temperature grade - consistent with Renesas' ordering nomenclature in the datasheet's Table 7.
