Product details
Overview
74HCT245BQ-Q100 from Nexperia is an automotive-grade octal bidirectional bus transceiver with 3-state outputs, DIR and OE control inputs, TTL-compatible input thresholds (VIH = 2.0 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max at VCC = 4.5–5.5 V), propagation delay of 10 ns typical (VCC = 5.0 V, CL = 15 pF), and AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification (-40 °C to +125 °C). It enables level-shifted data routing between microcontroller buses and peripheral modules in engine control units.
For engineers reviewing the 74HCT245BQ-Q100 datasheet, 74HCT245BQ-Q100 pinout, 74HCT245BQ-Q100 application, or 74HCT245BQ-Q100 equivalent, key selection criteria include bidirectional direction control timing, 3-state enable/disable latency (ten = 16 ns typ, tdis = 16 ns typ), output drive strength (±6 mA), thermal-enhanced DHVQFN20 package with side-wettable flanks, and automotive temperature compliance.
Technical Context
This device implements non-inverting bidirectional data transfer using a single DIR pin to select direction (A→B or B→A) and an active-low OE pin to place all outputs in high-impedance state. Input clamp diodes allow safe interfacing to voltages exceeding VCC when used with current-limiting resistors.
It operates across a 4.5 V to 5.5 V supply range with TTL-level input compatibility, ensuring seamless integration with legacy 5 V logic systems. Static and dynamic parameters-including VIH/VIL thresholds, VOH/VOL levels, propagation delay (tpd), enable/disable times (ten/tdis), and transition time (tt)-are fully specified over the full -40 °C to +125 °C automotive temperature range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - Ensures stable operation in 5 V automotive power domains with ±10 % tolerance. |
| Input Thresholds | VIH = 2.0 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max - Guarantees reliable recognition of standard TTL logic levels. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal bus transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC245APWR | CMOS input thresholds (VIH = 0.7×VCC), 1.65–3.6 V supply range - not automotive qualified. | Targeted at consumer/portable electronics; lacks AEC-Q100 validation and extended temperature support. | Select only for non-automotive designs requiring lower voltage operation or higher noise margin at 3.3 V. |
| 74LVCH245AQ20X | 3.3 V only (2.7–3.6 V), dual-supply I/O capability, same DHVQFN20 package - AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified. | Optimized for mixed-voltage 3.3 V/5 V interfaces; requires level translation if paired with 5 V MCU. | Prefer when system uses 3.3 V logic domains and demands identical footprint and qualification. |
Compared with SN74LVC245APWR and 74LVCH245AQ20X, the 74HCT245BQ-Q100 uniquely delivers TTL-compatible inputs, 4.5–5.5 V operation, and AEC-Q100 Grade 1 compliance in a thermally enhanced DHVQFN20 package-making it the sole choice for direct replacement of legacy 74LS245 in automotive 5 V bus architectures.

FAQ
What is the maximum recommended operating frequency for data transfer through the 74HCT245BQ-Q100?
The device does not specify a maximum clock frequency, but its 10 ns typical propagation delay (VCC = 5.0 V, CL = 15 pF) supports reliable data transfer up to approximately 50 MHz in point-to-point configurations. System-level timing must account for board trace delays, load capacitance, and setup/hold margins-especially in multi-drop bus topologies where cumulative skew may limit effective rate.
Can the 74HCT245BQ-Q100 safely interface a 3.3 V microcontroller with a 5 V peripheral?
No-it is not a level shifter. Its inputs require TTL-compatible thresholds (VIH ≥ 2.0 V), but outputs swing rail-to-rail (0 V to VCC). Driving a 5 V peripheral from a 3.3 V MCU violates VIH minimum; conversely, connecting its 5 V outputs directly to a 3.3 V MCU input risks overvoltage damage. Use dedicated level translators like TXB0108 for cross-voltage domain interfacing.
Is the exposed thermal pad (pin 10) required to be soldered to ground?
No. Per datasheet note: "This is not a ground pin. There is no electrical or mechanical requirement to solder the pad." If soldered, the land must remain floating or be connected to GND-never left as an unconnected copper island, which can cause solder voiding or thermal stress during reflow.
How does the DIR pin behavior differ from separate transmit/receive enable pins in other transceivers?
The DIR pin selects data direction unidirectionally: LOW enables A→B flow, HIGH enables B→A flow. Unlike transceivers with independent TxEN/RxEN controls, it does not support simultaneous bidirectional operation. This simplifies control logic in master-slave bus architectures but requires coordinated OE assertion to avoid bus contention during direction changes.
