Product details
Overview
74HC245BQ-Q100 from Nexperia is an AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified octal 3-state bidirectional bus transceiver in DHVQFN20 package, operating from 2.0 V to 6.0 V supply, featuring direction control (DIR), active-low output enable (OE), and CMOS-level inputs. It enables high-noise-immunity data transfer between two 8-bit buses in automotive body control modules, infotainment interconnects, and ADAS sensor interface subsystems.
For engineers reviewing the 74HC245BQ-Q100 datasheet, 74HC245BQ-Q100 pinout, 74HC245BQ-Q100 application, or 74HC245BQ-Q100 equivalent, key selection criteria include its -40 °C to +125 °C automotive temperature range, 7 ns propagation delay at VCC = 6.0 V, 30 pF power dissipation capacitance, and DHVQFN20 package with side-wettable flanks for AOI-compatible solder joint inspection.
Technical Context
The device implements a non-inverting 8-bit bidirectional data path controlled by DIR and OE signals: DIR selects data flow direction (A→B or B→A), while OE (active LOW) places all outputs in high-impedance state. Input clamp diodes allow safe interfacing to voltages exceeding VCC when used with current-limiting resistors.
Static performance includes VIH = 4.2 V (min) and VIL = 1.8 V (max) at VCC = 6.0 V for 74HC variant, VOH = 5.48 V (min) at IO = −7.8 mA, and VOL = 0.26 V (max) at IO = 7.8 mA. Dynamic behavior is characterized by tpd = 7–15 ns (VCC = 6.0 V), ten = 9–26 ns, and tdis = 12–38 ns across temperature.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 2.0 V to 6.0 V - supports mixed-voltage system interfacing and battery-supplied automotive domains. |
| Propagation Delay | 7 ns (typ) at VCC = 6.0 V - enables reliable 70+ MHz bus operation with 15 pF load. |
| Output Drive | ±7.8 mA (min) - sufficient to drive standard CMOS loads and moderate PCB trace capacitance. |
| Input Clamping | Clamp diodes on all inputs - permits safe overvoltage tolerance up to VCC + 0.5 V with external current limiting. |
| ESD Protection | HBM > 2000 V, CDM > 1000 V - meets automotive robustness requirements per JS-001/JS-002. |
| Operating Temp | -40 °C to +125 °C - qualified for engine bay and powertrain-adjacent locations per AEC-Q100 Grade 1. |
| Power Dissipation Cap | 30 pF - used to calculate dynamic power: PD = CPD × VCC² × fi × N. |
Pinout & Package
DHVQFN20 package (SOT764-1), 2.5 × 4.5 × 0.85 mm body, side-wettable flanks for automated optical inspection of solder joints; thermal-enhanced construction supports sustained operation at full temperature range.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | DIR | Direction control input: HIGH enables B→A data flow; LOW enables A→B. |
| 2–9 | A0–A7 | Port A bidirectional data terminals - connect to microcontroller or ASIC data bus. |
| 10 | GND | Ground reference (0 V); thermal pad underneath is electrically isolated unless connected to GND. |
| 11–18 | B0–B7 | Port B bidirectional data terminals - interface to peripheral bus, memory, or sensor cluster. |
| 19 | OE | Active-low output enable: LOW activates transceiver; HIGH forces all outputs to high-impedance. |
| 20 | VCC | Positive supply rail - decoupling capacitor required within 5 mm for noise immunity. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification | Validated for automotive use from -40 °C to +125 °C ambient, including lifetime reliability testing. |
| DHVQFN20 with side-wettable flanks | Enables 100% automated optical inspection (AOI) of solder joints without X-ray, reducing manufacturing defect escape. |
| CMOS-level input compatibility | VIH/VIL thresholds track VCC (e.g., VIH ≥ 0.7×VCC), ensuring interoperability with diverse logic families. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal bidirectional bus transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 74HCT245BQ-Q100 | TTL-compatible inputs (VIH = 2.0 V min at VCC = 5 V), slightly higher ICC (160 μA max vs. 80 μA for HC) | Better suited for legacy 5 V TTL systems; less suitable for low-VCC (2.0–3.3 V) mixed-signal domains | Select when interfacing with older microcontrollers or logic families requiring TTL input thresholds. |
| SN74LVC245AQPWRQ1 | Lower VCC range (1.65–3.6 V), 3.3 V only; faster tpd (5.4 ns typ at 3.3 V); different pinout (TSSOP20) | Optimized for modern low-voltage automotive MCUs; incompatible pin-for-pin with DHVQFN20 layout | Choose for new designs targeting 3.3 V domains where speed and power efficiency outweigh package migration effort. |
Compared with 74HC245BQ-Q100, the 74HCT245BQ-Q100 offers TTL input compatibility at the cost of higher static current, while SN74LVC245AQPWRQ1 delivers superior speed and lower voltage operation but requires PCB redesign due to differing package and pin assignment.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by 74HC245BQ-Q100?
The 74HC245BQ-Q100 does not operate on a clock; it is a combinatorial bus transceiver. Its usable data rate depends on propagation delay and load. With tpd = 7 ns (typ) at VCC = 6.0 V and CL = 15 pF, it supports reliable bus toggling up to ~70 MHz in point-to-point configurations, assuming proper signal integrity design and termination.
Can 74HC245BQ-Q100 interface 3.3 V and 5 V buses simultaneously?
No - it operates from a single VCC rail (2.0–6.0 V) and provides level translation only via input clamping diodes, which require external current-limiting resistors for overvoltage protection. True bidirectional level shifting between disparate voltage domains requires dedicated level translators like TXB0108, not bus transceivers.
Is the exposed thermal pad on the DHVQFN20 package electrically connected?
No - the thermal pad (terminal 1 index area) is electrically isolated per datasheet note: "This is not a ground pin. There is no electrical or mechanical requirement to solder the pad." If soldered, it must remain floating or be connected to GND; no internal connection exists to any signal or power net.
How does OE being active LOW affect system-level power sequencing?
Because OE is active LOW, the transceiver remains disabled (all outputs high-Z) until OE is actively driven LOW after VCC stabilizes. This prevents bus contention during power-up/down. System design must ensure OE is held HIGH (via pull-up or MCU GPIO) until both VCC and controlling logic are fully operational.
