Product details
Overview
74HC245DB,118 from Nexperia is an octal 3-state bidirectional bus transceiver with non-inverting outputs, direction control (DIR) and active-low output enable (OE), operating across 2.0 V to 6.0 V supply range, supporting TTL- and CMOS-level input compatibility depending on variant, and rated for -40 °C to +125 °C ambient temperature - used in microcontroller-to-peripheral data bus isolation and level translation in industrial control backplanes.
For engineers reviewing the 74HC245DB,118 datasheet, 74HC245DB,118 pinout, 74HC245DB,118 application, or 74HC245DB,118 equivalent, this device serves as a voltage-scalable, low-power bus interface IC requiring precise direction and tri-state control in mixed-voltage digital systems with strict noise immunity and ESD robustness requirements.
Technical Context
The 74HC245DB,118 implements dual 8-bit bidirectional data paths controlled by DIR and OE inputs: DIR selects A→B (A-side input, B-side output) or B→A (B-side input, A-side output); OE asserts high-impedance state on all outputs when HIGH. Its CMOS architecture ensures rail-to-rail output swing and sub-μA static current at VCC = 6.0 V.
Input clamp diodes allow safe interfacing to voltages exceeding VCC when used with current-limiting resistors; static characteristics include VIH = 3.15 V (min) and VOL = 0.26 V (max) at IO = 6.0 mA and VCC = 4.5 V, while dynamic performance delivers tpd = 7 ns (typ) at VCC = 6.0 V and CL = 15 pF.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.0 V to 6.0 V - supports direct interface with 3.3 V and 5 V logic domains without level shifters. |
| Propagation Delay (tpd) | 7 ns (typ) at VCC = 6.0 V, CL = 15 pF - enables reliable operation in high-speed parallel bus systems up to ~70 MHz. |
| Output Drive Strength | ±6.0 mA (min) at VCC = 4.5 V - sufficient to drive standard 50 pF loads across PCB traces and multiple CMOS inputs. |
| Input Thresholds (VIH/VIL) | VIH = 3.15 V (min), VIL = 1.35 V (max) at VCC = 4.5 V - ensures clean switching margin against noise in industrial environments. |
| ESD Robustness | HBM > 2000 V, CDM > 1000 V - meets IEC 61000-4-2 Level 2 requirements for board-level handling and system integration. |
| Operating Temperature | -40 °C to +125 °C - qualified for under-hood automotive modules, motor drives, and industrial PLC I/O stages. |
| Power Dissipation (Ptot) | 500 mW (SO20 package) - allows sustained operation at full speed without thermal derating below 109 °C ambient. |
Pinout & Package
74HC245DB,118 is supplied in SOT163-1 (SO20) plastic small outline package: 20-pin, 7.5 mm body width, 1.27 mm lead pitch, JEDEC MS-013 compliant, with gull-wing leads and moisture sensitivity level (MSL) 1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (DIR) | Direction Control Input | LOW enables A→B data flow; HIGH enables B→A - determines source/sink side of bidirectional bus interface. |
| 2–9 (A0–A7) | Port A Data Terminals | 8-bit bidirectional I/O pins connected to one bus segment (e.g., microcontroller data bus). |
| 10 (GND) | Ground Reference | Primary 0 V reference for all internal logic and output drivers; must be low-impedance connection. |
| 11–18 (B0–B7) | Port B Data Terminals | 8-bit bidirectional I/O pins connected to second bus segment (e.g., peripheral or memory bus). |
| 19 (OE) | Output Enable (Active LOW) | LOW enables outputs; HIGH forces all A/B pins into high-impedance state - essential for bus arbitration. |
| 20 (VCC) | Supply Voltage Input | Positive supply rail (2.0–6.0 V); decoupling capacitor (100 nF) required within 10 mm of pin. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Wide Supply Range | 2.0 V to 6.0 V operation enables drop-in use across legacy 5 V and modern 3.3 V systems without redesign. |
| Clamp Diode Protection | Integrated input clamp diodes allow safe overvoltage tolerance up to VCC + 0.5 V with external current limiting. |
| High Noise Immunity | Typical noise margin > 1.0 V at VCC = 4.5 V ensures stable operation in electrically noisy factory-floor environments. |
| Low Static Power | ICC ≤ 8.0 μA (typ) at VCC = 6.0 V - reduces quiescent power in always-on industrial monitoring nodes. |
| JEDEC Compliance | Fully compliant with JESD8C (2.7–3.6 V) and JESD7A (2.0–6.0 V) - guarantees interoperability with certified logic families. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal bus transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 74HCT245DB,118 | TTL-compatible inputs (VIH = 2.0 V min), identical pinout and function - requires 4.5–5.5 V supply only. | Better suited for legacy 5 V systems with TTL logic sources; not recommended for 3.3 V-only designs. | Select when interfacing to 74LS or other TTL-family devices where input threshold compatibility is critical. |
| SN74LVC245APWR | Lower VCC range (1.65–3.6 V), higher speed (tpd = 4.2 ns typ), but no input clamp diodes. | Optimized for battery-powered portable electronics; lacks overvoltage protection for mixed-voltage interfaces. | Prefer for ultra-low-voltage, high-speed applications where VCC ≤ 3.3 V and overvoltage risk is absent. |
Compared with 74HCT245DB,118 and SN74LVC245APWR, the 74HC245DB,118 uniquely balances wide voltage scalability (2.0–6.0 V), integrated overvoltage protection, and industrial temperature rating - making it the default choice for ruggedized mixed-supply bus bridging where reliability outweighs marginal speed gains.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by the 74HC245DB,118 in a data bus application?
The 74HC245DB,118 does not operate on a clock signal - it is an asynchronous transceiver. Its usable data rate depends on propagation delay (7 ns typ at VCC = 6.0 V) and system setup/hold timing. For reliable operation with 15 pF load, maximum sustainable bus toggle rate is approximately 70 MHz, assuming clean edges and proper termination.
Can the 74HC245DB,118 safely interface a 5 V bus to a 3.3 V microcontroller without external level shifters?
Yes - when powered at 3.3 V, the 74HC245DB,118 accepts 5 V inputs safely due to its integrated input clamp diodes, provided current-limiting resistors (≥1 kΩ) are used on each A/B line. Outputs swing rail-to-rail (0–3.3 V), matching the MCU's input thresholds.
Is the 74HC245DB,118 pin-compatible with the 74LS245?
No - while both are octal transceivers, the 74LS245 uses different pin assignments (e.g., OE on pin 1, DIR on pin 2) and lacks input clamp diodes. The 74HC245DB,118 follows JEDEC-standard SO20 pinout (OE on pin 19, DIR on pin 1), requiring PCB layout revision for replacement.
Does the 74HC245DB,118 require pull-up or pull-down resistors on DIR or OE pins?
Not inherently - DIR and OE are CMOS inputs with ±0.1 μA leakage. However, OE should be actively driven (not left floating) to prevent unintended bus contention; a 10 kΩ pull-down on OE is common practice to ensure default high-impedance state at power-up.
