Product details
Overview
74HCT245DB,118 from Nexperia is an octal 3-state bidirectional bus transceiver with TTL-compatible inputs and non-inverting outputs, operating from 4.5 V to 5.5 V supply. It features independent direction (DIR) and active-low output enable (OE) controls, supports ±6 mA drive strength at VCC = 4.5 V, and delivers propagation delay as low as 10 ns (typical) under 15 pF load. It is used in microcontroller-to-peripheral data bus isolation and level-shifting interfaces in industrial control modules.
For engineers reviewing the 74HCT245DB,118 datasheet, 74HCT245DB,118 pinout, 74HCT245DB,118 application, or 74HCT245DB,118 equivalent, this device serves as a robust, temperature-stable (−40 °C to +125 °C), JEDEC-compliant bus interface for legacy TTL-compatible systems requiring controlled bidirectional data flow and high-impedance bus release.
Technical Context
The 74HCT245DB,118 implements a dual-rail 8-bit transceiver architecture with separate A-side and B-side I/O banks, where DIR selects data flow direction (A→B or B→A) and OE disables all outputs to high-impedance state. Its TTL-level input thresholds (VIH = 2.0 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max at VCC = 5 V) ensure compatibility with standard 5 V logic families.
It uses CMOS silicon with integrated input clamp diodes enabling safe interfacing to voltages exceeding VCC when current-limiting resistors are applied. The device exhibits latch-up immunity >100 mA per JESD78 Class II Level B and ESD robustness (HBM >2000 V, CDM >1000 V).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - Ensures stable operation in standard 5 V TTL/CMOS mixed-signal systems without rail translation. |
| Propagation delay | 10 ns (typ) at VCC = 5 V, CL = 15 pF - Enables reliable 50 MHz bus handshaking in synchronous peripheral interfaces. |
| Output drive | ±6 mA at VOH/VOL - Sufficient to drive 10 LSTTL loads or 20 CMOS inputs while maintaining valid logic levels. |
| Input threshold | VIH = 2.0 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max - Guarantees noise-immune recognition of standard 5 V TTL signals across full temperature range. |
| Operating temperature | −40 °C to +125 °C - Qualified for under-hood industrial and extended-temperature embedded applications. |
| Power dissipation | 160 μA ICC (max) at 125 °C - Supports low-static-power system design in thermally constrained enclosures. |
| ESD rating | HBM >2000 V, CDM >1000 V - Reduces need for external protection in board-level ESD-prone environments. |
Pinout & Package
74HCT245DB,118 is supplied in SOT339-1 (SSOP20) package: plastic shrink small outline package, 20 leads, body width 5.3 mm, 0.65 mm pitch. Pin 1 index located at top-left corner with notch marking.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (DIR) | Direction control input | LOW enables A→B data flow; HIGH enables B→A - critical for half-duplex bus arbitration in shared-memory systems. |
| 2–9 (A0–A7) | A-side bidirectional I/O | Connects to microcontroller or master bus; clamped inputs allow safe overvoltage tolerance with series resistors. |
| 10 (GND) | Ground reference | Primary return path for all internal logic and I/O currents; must be low-inductance connection to minimize ground bounce. |
| 11–18 (B0–B7) | B-side bidirectional I/O | Interfaces to peripheral or slave device; identical electrical characteristics to A-side for symmetrical bus loading. |
| 19 (OE) | Active-low output enable | Drives all outputs to high-Z when HIGH - essential for multi-master bus contention avoidance and power-down sequencing. |
| 20 (VCC) | Positive supply | Must be decoupled with ≥100 nF ceramic capacitor near pin to suppress switching noise during bus transitions. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| TTL-compatible input levels | Enables direct connection to legacy 5 V microcontrollers and peripherals without level shifters. |
| 3-state bidirectional control | Independent DIR and OE pins allow precise timing of bus ownership transfer and idle-state isolation. |
| Clamp diode protected inputs | Permits safe interface to signals up to VCC + 0.5 V using external current-limiting resistors. |
| High noise immunity | Input hysteresis and CMOS design achieve >400 mV noise margin at VCC = 5 V across full temperature range. |
| JEDEC-compliant packaging | SOT339-1 footprint matches industry-standard SSOP20 layout, ensuring drop-in PCB compatibility. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 74HCT245PW,118 | TSSOP20 (SOT360-1) package; 4.4 mm body width; identical electrical specs. | Smaller footprint and lower profile - preferred for space-constrained PCBs with fine-pitch routing. | Select when board area is limited and reflow compatibility with TSSOP is confirmed. |
| SN74HCT245PWR | Texas Instruments part; same logic function, but VIH/VIL thresholds differ slightly (VIH = 2.0 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max at VCC = 4.5 V–5.5 V); higher ICC (200 μA max at 125 °C). | Valid for pin-compatible replacement only if system-level noise margin and power budget accommodate TI's higher leakage. | Use only after validating static current draw and input threshold margins in final design. |
Compared with 74HCT245PW,118, the 74HCT245DB,118 offers identical logic performance in a wider SSOP package better suited for manual inspection and wave soldering; versus SN74HCT245PWR, it provides tighter ICC control and consistent Nexperia qualification for extended-temperature industrial use.

FAQ
Can 74HCT245DB,118 operate at 3.3 V supply?
No. The 74HCT245DB,118 is specified only for 4.5 V to 5.5 V operation. At 3.3 V, input thresholds (VIH = 2.0 V min) become non-compliant with standard 3.3 V logic, and output drive falls outside guaranteed specifications. Use 74LVC245 or 74ALVC245 for 3.3 V systems.
What is the maximum capacitive load the outputs can drive reliably?
The device is characterized up to 50 pF load capacitance per output (per Table 9 test conditions). For reliable timing at full speed, keep total load ≤15 pF per line-including trace, via, and input capacitance of downstream devices-to maintain 10 ns propagation delay and <18 ns transition time.
Is the GND pin (pin 10) internally connected to the exposed pad in SOT339-1?
No. The SOT339-1 package does not include an exposed thermal pad. Pin 10 is the sole GND terminal, and no internal connection exists to any auxiliary thermal structure. PCB layout must provide adequate copper pour connected solely to pin 10.
How does OE assertion affect power consumption during bus idle periods?
When OE is HIGH (disabled), ICC drops to ≤160 μA maximum at 125 °C-less than 0.1% of active-mode current. This enables ultra-low quiescent power in standby states, making the device suitable for battery-backed or energy-sensitive industrial control nodes.
