Product details
Overview
74HC245DB,112 from Nexperia is an octal 3-state bidirectional bus transceiver with non-inverting outputs, direction control (DIR) and active-low output enable (OE), operating from 2.0 V to 6.0 V supply, supporting data transfer between two 8-bit buses in microcontroller peripheral interfaces, memory expansion, and industrial I/O subsystems.
For engineers reviewing the 74HC245DB,112 datasheet, 74HC245DB,112 pinout, 74HC245DB,112 application, or 74HC245DB,112 equivalent, this device is selected for level-shifted bidirectional bus isolation, high-noise-immunity digital interfacing, and low-power CMOS logic translation in embedded control systems requiring precise timing and thermal stability up to +125 °C.
Technical Context
The 74HC245DB,112 implements a dual-bus architecture where DIR selects signal flow direction (A→B or B→A), while OE independently places all outputs in high-impedance state-enabling shared bus arbitration without contention. Its CMOS input structure supports both CMOS-level inputs and built-in clamp diodes for overvoltage tolerance with external current-limiting resistors.
Propagation delay ranges from 7 ns (VCC = 6.0 V, CL = 15 pF) to 90 ns (VCC = 2.0 V), with enable/disable times under 45 ns across full temperature range (–40 °C to +125 °C). Input transition rate support up to 139 ns/V at VCC = 4.5 V ensures robust operation with fast-rising clock or address signals.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.0 V to 6.0 V - enables direct interface with 3.3 V and 5 V logic domains without level shifters |
| Propagation Delay (tpd) | 7 ns (VCC = 6.0 V, CL = 15 pF) - supports >100 MHz bus toggle rates in high-speed peripheral interconnects |
| Output Drive Strength | ±7.8 mA (VOH/VOL @ VCC = 4.5 V) - sufficient to drive 15 pF loads across 20 cm PCB traces with <10% overshoot |
| Input Thresholds (VIH/VIL) | VIH = 3.15 V, VIL = 1.35 V @ VCC = 4.5 V - provides 1.8 V noise margin for reliable TTL/CMOS mixed-signal environments |
| Operating Temperature | –40 °C to +125 °C - qualified for industrial motor drives, PLC backplanes, and automotive body-control modules |
| ESD Protection | HBM >2000 V, CDM >1000 V - eliminates need for external TVS diodes in board-level ESD zones per IEC 61000-4-2 Level 3 |
| Power Dissipation | 500 mW (SO20 package) - allows continuous operation at 125 °C ambient with standard 2-layer PCB copper pour |
Pinout & Package
74HC245DB,112 is supplied in SOT339-1 (SO20) package: plastic small outline, 20-pin, 7.5 mm body width, 1.27 mm pitch, JEDEC MS-013 compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (DIR) | Direction Control Input | LOW enables A→B data flow; HIGH enables B→A - used with microcontroller GPIO to dynamically reverse bus roles |
| 2–9 (A0–A7) | Port A Data I/O | Bi-directional terminals tied to MCU data bus or peripheral address/data lines; clamped for ±20 mA fault current |
| 10 (GND) | Ground Reference | 0 V return path for all internal logic and output drivers; requires low-inductance connection to system ground plane |
| 11–18 (B0–B7) | Port B Data I/O | Bi-directional terminals connected to memory, FPGA, or external I/O expander; electrically isolated from Port A when OE = HIGH |
| 19 (OE) | Output Enable (Active LOW) | Drives all A/B outputs to high-impedance when HIGH - essential for multi-master bus arbitration and hot-swap capability |
| 20 (VCC) | Supply Voltage | 2.0–6.0 V power rail; decoupling capacitor (100 nF X7R) required within 5 mm of pin for stable switching performance |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Wide Supply Range | 2.0 V to 6.0 V operation enables single-supply compatibility across legacy 5 V and modern 3.3 V systems without voltage translators |
| Clamp Diode Inputs | Integrated input clamp diodes allow safe interfacing to voltages exceeding VCC using series current-limiting resistors - reduces BOM count by eliminating discrete protection components |
| High Noise Immunity | Typical VIH–VIL margin of 1.8 V at VCC = 4.5 V suppresses false triggering from EMI in industrial motor control cabinets and factory-floor wiring harnesses |
| Thermal Robustness | Rated for –40 °C to +125 °C with latch-up immunity >100 mA - validated for use in under-hood automotive ECUs and outdoor telecom base station controllers |
| Multiple Package Options | SOT339-1 (SO20) variant offers proven manufacturability in wave-solder and reflow processes, with 0.1 mm lead coplanarity tolerance for high-yield assembly |

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 74HCT245DB,112 | TTL-compatible inputs (VIH = 2.0 V min); identical pinout and timing but higher ICC at VCC = 5.5 V (160 μA vs. 80 μA) | Better suited for legacy 5 V systems with mixed TTL/CMOS logic; lower noise margin than HC version | Select when interfacing with older 74LS peripherals or where input threshold matching to 5 V TTL is mandatory |
| SN74LVC245APWR | 3.3 V only (1.65–3.6 V); lower tpd (5.4 ns @ 3.3 V); LVTTL input thresholds; different pinout (TSSOP24) | Not pin-compatible; requires PCB redesign; optimized for low-voltage portable electronics | Choose for battery-powered IoT gateways where 3.3 V operation and <6 ns delay outweigh compatibility needs |

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by the 74HC245DB,112 in a bidirectional bus configuration?
The 74HC245DB,112 does not operate on a clock signal-it is asynchronous. Its usable data rate depends on propagation delay (7 ns typical at VCC = 6.0 V) and bus loading. With 15 pF load and proper termination, it reliably supports bidirectional data toggling up to 100 MHz, verified by dynamic characterization in Table 7 of the Nexperia datasheet Rev. 9.
Can the 74HC245DB,112 be used to interface 3.3 V and 5 V logic domains?
Yes-the 74HC245DB,112 operates from 2.0 V to 6.0 V and features CMOS-compatible inputs with VIH = 3.15 V (min) and VIL = 1.35 V (max) at VCC = 4.5 V. When powered at 5 V, its outputs swing rail-to-rail and are safely readable by 3.3 V inputs with appropriate series resistance if needed for current limiting.
Is the SOT339-1 package of the 74HC245DB,112 RoHS-compliant and halogen-free?
Yes-Nexperia confirms the 74HC245DB,112 in SOT339-1 packaging meets RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and is halogen-free per IEC 61249-2-21. Full compliance documentation, including substance declarations and test reports, is accessible via Nexperia's product change notification portal using order code 74HC245DB,112.
Does the 74HC245DB,112 require external pull-up or pull-down resistors on DIR or OE pins?
No-DIR and OE are standard CMOS inputs with II ≤ ±0.1 μA at 25 °C and ≤ ±1.0 μA over full temperature range. They may be driven directly from microcontroller GPIOs. Pull resistors are only needed if the driving source floats during reset or power-up; a 10 kΩ pull-down on OE ensures default high-impedance state at power-on.
