Product details
Overview
74FCT245CTPYG from Renesas Electronics (formerly IDT) is a fast CMOS octal bidirectional transceiver in 20-pin TSSOP package, supporting industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C), 5V supply, ±15mA high-drive outputs, and true TTL-compatible I/O with VOH = 3.3V (typ.) and VOL = 0.3V (typ.). It enables asynchronous two-way data bus communication in embedded control systems.
For engineers reviewing the 74FCT245CTPYG datasheet, 74FCT245CTPYG pinout, 74FCT245CTPYG application, or 74FCT245CTPYG equivalent, key selection criteria include direction control via T/R input, 3-state output enable (OE active low), propagation delay ≤4.1 ns (A↔B), and compatibility with legacy TTL and modern CMOS buses.
Technical Context
The 74FCT245CTPYG implements an octal bidirectional bus interface using advanced dual-metal CMOS technology. Its transmit/receive (T/R) input controls data flow direction: T/R = HIGH enables A→B transfer; T/R = LOW enables B→A transfer. Output Enable (OE) is active-low and places both A and B ports in high-impedance state when asserted.
It meets JEDEC Standard 18 and supports live insertion via power-off disable outputs. Input leakage is ≤1 µA (max), and it delivers –15 mA IOH / 64 mA IOL drive strength under industrial conditions at VCC = 5.0V ±5%.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Supply | 5.0V ±5% - fixed single-rail operation compatible with legacy 5V TTL/CMOS systems |
| Propagation Delay | ≤4.1 ns (tPLH/tPHL, CL = 50 pF) - ensures sub-5 ns timing margin for 100+ MHz bus handshaking |
| Output Drive | –15 mA IOH / 64 mA IOL - drives heavy capacitive loads and multiple TTL inputs without external buffers |
| Input Compatibility | TTL-level VIH ≥2.0 V, VIL ≤0.8 V - interoperable with standard 5V TTL logic families |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial environments including factory automation and motor control |
| Leakage Current | ≤1 µA (IIH/IIL) - minimizes standby power and prevents false triggering on unterminated lines |
| Package | TSSOP-20 (PYG20) - surface-mount, 0.65 mm pitch, footprint-compatible with SOIC-20 but 30% smaller area |
Pinout & Package
74FCT245CTPYG is housed in a 20-pin Thin Shrink Small Outline Package (TSSOP), designated PYG20 per Renesas ordering nomenclature. The package features gull-wing leads, 0.65 mm pitch, and thermal pad-less construction suitable for standard reflow profiles.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | OE (Active Low) | Global 3-state control: HIGH disables both A and B ports into high-Z; essential for bus arbitration |
| 2–9 | A0–A7 | Side-A bidirectional I/O: serve as inputs when receiving (B→A) or outputs when transmitting (A→B) |
| 10 | GND | Power ground reference for all internal logic and I/O stages |
| 11–18 | B0–B7 | Side-B bidirectional I/O: mirror A-side behavior with direction determined by T/R |
| 19 | T/R | Direction control: HIGH = A→B, LOW = B→A - asynchronous, no clock required |
| 20 | VCC | +5V supply rail - powers internal logic and output drivers; decoupling required near pin |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| True TTL-compatible I/O | VOH = 3.3V (typ.), VOL = 0.3V (typ.) at 5V - eliminates level-shifting between 74LS/74F and modern CMOS buses |
| High-current drive capability | 64 mA sink / 15 mA source per output - directly drives up to 10 standard TTL loads or long PCB traces |
| Live-insertion support | Outputs enter high-Z when VCC = 0 - enables hot-swap of daughterboards or field-replaceable modules |
| Low dynamic power consumption | ICCD ≤ 0.25 mA/MHz - reduces system-level heat generation in dense I/O expansion applications |
| MIL-STD-883 compliant variants available | 54FCT245CT derivative qualified to Class B - supports extended reliability requirements without redesign |
Applications

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 | Slower propagation (≤12 ns), lower drive (–15 mA / 64 mA), no live-insertion support | Limited to static 5V systems; not rated for industrial temp range | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs timing and reliability requirements |
| 74LCX245MTCX | 3.3V-only supply (2.7–3.6V), higher speed (≤2.8 ns), lower drive (–24 mA / 24 mA) | Requires level-shifting for 5V bus interfacing; unsuitable for direct TTL replacement | Prefer for new 3.3V designs where power efficiency and speed supersede 5V compatibility |
Compared with SN74F245N and 74LCX245MTCX, the 74FCT245CTPYG uniquely balances 5V TTL compatibility, industrial temperature rating, sub-5 ns timing, and live-insertion capability-making it the only choice for upgrading legacy 5V backplanes without board redesign.

FAQ
What is the operating voltage range for the 74FCT245CTPYG?
The 74FCT245CTPYG operates at a nominal VCC of 5.0V ±5%, specified over the full industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C). It is not rated for 3.3V operation. Absolute maximum VCC is 5.5V; applying voltage beyond this risks permanent damage. All DC and switching specifications-including VOH, VOL, and propagation delay-are guaranteed only within the 4.75V–5.25V window.
Does the 74FCT245CTPYG support live insertion?
Yes, the 74FCT245CTPYG supports live insertion due to its power-off disable outputs feature. When VCC = 0V, all outputs enter a high-impedance state regardless of OE or T/R states, preventing bus contention during hot-swap events. This behavior is verified per MIL-STD-883 Class B test methods and applies to both industrial (74FCT245CTPYG) and military (54FCT245CT) variants.
What is the maximum capacitive load the 74FCT245CTPYG can drive reliably?
The 74FCT245CTPYG is characterized for CL = 50 pF in switching tests, with propagation delay and edge rate specifications guaranteed under that condition. While it can physically drive heavier loads (e.g., >100 pF) due to its 64 mA IOL capability, signal integrity degrades beyond 50 pF-resulting in increased rise/fall times and potential setup/hold violations. For loads exceeding 50 pF, external series termination or buffer staging is recommended.
How does the T/R pin control data direction in the 74FCT245CTPYG?
In the 74FCT245CTPYG, the T/R pin is an asynchronous control input: when T/R = HIGH, data flows from A ports to B ports; when T/R = LOW, data flows from B ports to A ports. This direction change occurs immediately without clock or latency penalty. The OE pin must be LOW for either direction to be active; if OE = HIGH, both sides go high-Z regardless of T/R state.
Is the 74FCT245CTPYG RoHS compliant and lead-free?
Yes, the 74FCT245CTPYG is RoHS compliant and lead-free. Per Renesas' 2016 ordering information update (Document History), all current shipments use green (halogen-free) packaging with lead-free terminations. The "G" suffix in the part number confirms RoHS compliance, and the PYG20 package designation indicates lead-free matte tin plating on gull-wing leads.
