Product details
Overview
74HC245D-Q100 from Nexperia is an AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified octal 3-state bidirectional bus transceiver in SO20 package, featuring CMOS-level inputs, 2.0–6.0 V supply range, propagation delay as low as 7 ns at VCC = 6.0 V, and ±35 mA output drive - used for voltage-level flexible data bus isolation and direction-controlled data routing between microcontrollers and peripheral subsystems in automotive body control modules.
For engineers reviewing the 74HC245D-Q100 datasheet, 74HC245D-Q100 pinout, 74HC245D-Q100 application, or 74HC245D-Q100 equivalent, key selection considerations include its automotive-grade temperature range (−40 °C to +125 °C), 3-state enable timing (ten ≤ 26 ns), input clamp diode support for overvoltage-tolerant interfacing, and compatibility with both HC- and HCT-family logic families.
Technical Context
This device implements a non-inverting 8-bit bidirectional data path controlled by DIR (direction) and active-low OE (output enable). Its dual-bus architecture allows simultaneous A-side and B-side data latching only when OE is LOW and DIR sets transfer direction - enabling full-duplex or half-duplex bus arbitration in CAN/LIN gateway interfaces and ECU memory expansion paths.
Input clamp diodes permit safe interface to signals exceeding VCC (e.g., 12 V sensor lines via current-limiting resistors), while CMOS input thresholds (VIH = 4.2 V min at VCC = 6.0 V) ensure robust noise immunity. The SO20 package (SOT163-1) supports standard reflow profiles and provides mechanical stability for under-hood automotive PCBs.
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 (typ) at VCC = 6.0 V - supports >30 MHz bus clock rates in high-speed diagnostics interfaces |
| Output Drive Strength | ±35 mA - sufficient to drive 50 Ω transmission lines or multiple 74-series inputs without buffering |
| Operating Temperature | −40 °C to +125 °C - qualified per AEC-Q100 Grade 1 for engine bay and powertrain applications |
| Input Clamp Diodes | Integrated - allows use of external current-limiting resistors to safely interface to voltages up to 12 V |
| 3-State Enable Time (ten) | 9 ns (max) at VCC = 6.0 V - ensures fast bus turnaround in time-critical communication protocols |
| Power Dissipation (Ptot) | 500 mW (SO20) - derates linearly above 109 °C, supporting sustained operation in thermally constrained ECUs |
Pinout & Package
74HC245D-Q100 uses the SO20 plastic small outline package (SOT163-1), 20-pin, 7.5 mm body width, with standard gull-wing leads compatible with IPC-A-610 Class 2/3 assembly.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (DIR) | Direction control input | LOW = A→B data flow; HIGH = B→A - enables dynamic bus arbitration in master/slave configurations |
| 2–9 (A0–A7) | Port A data I/O | Bi-directional terminals tied to microcontroller or ASIC data bus; internally isolated when OE = HIGH |
| 10 (GND) | Ground reference | 0 V return path for all internal logic and output drivers; must be low-impedance for signal integrity |
| 11–18 (B0–B7) | Port B data I/O | Bi-directional terminals connected to peripheral bus (e.g., EEPROM, display driver); electrically isolated during 3-state |
| 19 (OE) | Active-low output enable | LOW = outputs enabled; HIGH = all A/B pins enter high-impedance - prevents bus contention during multi-master access |
| 20 (VCC) | Positive supply | Primary power rail; decoupling capacitor (100 nF) required within 5 mm for stable switching performance |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal bus transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 74HCT245D-Q100 | TTL-compatible inputs (VIH = 2.0 V min at VCC = 4.5 V); identical pinout and timing | Better suited for mixed 5 V TTL/CMOS systems where legacy logic drives inputs | Select when interfacing to older 5 V microcontrollers or discrete transistor logic with marginal high-level output swing |
| SN74LVC245AQPWRQ1 | Lower VCC range (1.65–3.6 V); 32 mA drive; different pinout (TSSOP24) | Optimized for 3.3 V-only automotive infotainment subsystems; no 5 V tolerance | Choose only for new 3.3 V designs requiring lower static current (<1 μA) and smaller footprint - not drop-in compatible |
Compared with 74HCT245D-Q100, the HC version offers higher noise immunity in 5 V systems but requires stronger input drive; versus SN74LVC245AQPWRQ1, it supports wider voltage interoperability and maintains pin-for-pin SO20 compatibility for legacy board reuse.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by 74HC245D-Q100 in a data bus application?
The device does not operate on a clock signal - it is asynchronous. Its usable data rate depends on propagation delay (7 ns typ at VCC = 6.0 V) and system setup/hold timing. For clean 8-bit parallel transfers, it reliably supports bus toggle rates up to 30 MHz in well-terminated 50 Ω environments, assuming proper PCB layout and load capacitance ≤15 pF per line.
Can 74HC245D-Q100 interface directly with 12 V automotive sensors?
Yes - its integrated input clamp diodes allow safe interface to voltages exceeding VCC when used with appropriate current-limiting resistors (e.g., 10 kΩ for 12 V → 5 V translation). This eliminates external protection diodes and supports direct connection to switched 12 V sensor outputs like door latch or hood switch signals without level-shifting circuitry.
Is the SO20 package (SOT163-1) lead-free and RoHS compliant?
Yes - 74HC245D-Q100 is manufactured in full compliance with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and REACH Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006. The SO20 package uses matte tin (Sn) lead finish with no lead content >1000 ppm, qualified for standard Pb-free reflow profiles (peak 260 °C, 10 s max).
How does the DIR pin behave during power-up or brown-out conditions?
DIR has no internal pull-up or pull-down; it is floating until externally biased. During power-up, undefined DIR state may cause unpredictable data flow direction. Design best practice mandates a 10 kΩ pull-down resistor to GND on DIR to default A→B mode, ensuring deterministic behavior before firmware initializes - critical for fail-safe boot sequences in ASIL-B systems.
