Product details
Overview
74HCT245N,652 from NXP Semiconductors (formerly Philips) is an octal non-inverting 3-state bidirectional bus transceiver with TTL-compatible inputs and CMOS outputs. It provides direction-controlled data flow between two 8-bit buses, features active-low output enable (OE) and direction (DIR) control, and operates at 4.5–5.5 V over −40 °C to +125 °C. It is used in microcontroller system bus expansion, memory interfacing, and legacy parallel I/O bridging.
For engineers reviewing the 74HCT245N,652 datasheet, 74HCT245N,652 pinout, 74HCT245N,652 application, or 74HCT245N,652 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 5 V TTL-level input compatibility, 10 ns typical propagation delay at 5 V/15 pF, 3-state isolation timing (tPZH/tPHZ ≤ 30 ns), and DIP20 package suitability for prototyping and industrial backplane interfaces.
Technical Context
The 74HCT245N,652 implements a dual-bus interface using eight independent bidirectional channels, each controlled by shared DIR and OE signals. Its HCT logic family ensures TTL-level input thresholds (VIH = 2.0 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max at VCC = 4.5–5.5 V) while delivering CMOS-level output drive (±6 mA at VCC = 4.5 V).
It supports true non-inverting data transfer in both directions - A→B when DIR = HIGH, B→A when DIR = LOW - with high-impedance (Z) outputs asserted when OE = HIGH. The device complies with JEDEC standard no. 7A and includes ESD protection exceeding 2000 V HBM and 200 V MM.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Logic Family | HCT - TTL-compatible inputs, CMOS outputs; enables direct interfacing with 5 V LSTTL systems without level shifters. |
| Supply Voltage | 4.5–5.5 V - Matches standard 5 V digital rails; not rated for 3.3 V operation. |
| Propagation Delay | 10 ns typical (An↔Bn, CL = 15 pF, VCC = 5 V) - Enables reliable operation up to ~50 MHz bus toggle rates. |
| Output Drive | ±6 mA (VOH/VOL at VCC = 4.5 V) - Sufficient to drive 10 LSTTL loads or moderate PCB trace capacitance. |
| 3-State Enable/Disable | tPZH/tPHZ ≤ 30 ns (VCC = 4.5 V, Tamb ≤ +85 °C) - Ensures fast bus arbitration and prevents contention during direction switching. |
| Operating Temperature | −40 °C to +125 °C - Qualified for under-hood automotive, industrial control, and extended-range embedded applications. |
| Input Capacitance | 3.5 pF - Low loading on upstream drivers; minimizes signal integrity degradation on high-speed traces. |
Pinout & Package
Package: DIP20 (SOT146-1), plastic dual in-line package, 20 leads, 300 mil width, through-hole mount.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | DIR | Direction control input: HIGH enables A→B data flow; LOW enables B→A. |
| 2–9 | A0–A7 | Bus A side I/O terminals - connect to microcontroller/data bus A; function as inputs or outputs depending on DIR/OE state. |
| 10 | GND | Ground reference (0 V) - mandatory return path for all internal logic and output currents. |
| 11–18 | B0–B7 | Bus B side I/O terminals - connect to peripheral/memory bus B; mirror A-side behavior under DIR control. |
| 19 | OE | Active-low output enable: LOW enables transceiver; HIGH forces all A/B pins into high-impedance (Z) state for bus isolation. |
| 20 | VCC | Positive supply (4.5–5.5 V) - powers internal logic and output stages; requires local 100 nF decoupling. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Octal bidirectional interface | Single-package solution for full 8-bit parallel bus extension between mismatched subsystems (e.g., MCU ↔ legacy peripheral). |
| TTL-compatible input thresholds | VIH ≥ 2.0 V / VIL ≤ 0.8 V at 5 V - eliminates need for external level translators when interfacing with standard 5 V TTL/LS logic. |
| Non-inverting data path | Data polarity preserved in both directions (A→B and B→A), simplifying protocol design and avoiding inversion logic in firmware/hardware. |
| 3-state bus isolation | OE-controlled high-impedance outputs prevent bus contention during multi-master arbitration or power sequencing. |
| JEDEC 7A compliance | Guarantees interoperability with industry-standard 5 V logic families and test equipment interfaces. |
Applications
| Microcontroller Bus Expansion | Legacy Parallel Printer Interface |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Extending limited GPIO or address/data bus width of an 8-bit MCU to drive multiple peripherals. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional buffer that isolates MCU bus from peripheral loads and enables dynamic direction switching via DIR. Use Value: Eliminates need for discrete transceivers or CPLD glue logic; supports real-time bus sharing with <30 ns isolation timing. |
Use Scenario: Interfacing modern microcontrollers to Centronics-style parallel printers requiring 8-bit data + handshaking lines. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Level-shifting and bus-driving transceiver for unidirectional (host→printer) or bidirectional (status feedback) data paths. Use Value: Direct 5 V TTL compatibility ensures robust signal integrity across 2 m cables; ±6 mA drive sustains printer ACK timing margins. |
| Industrial Backplane Data Routing | Memory-Mapped I/O Bridge |
Use Scenario: Isolating and routing 8-bit data between hot-swappable modules on a 5 V industrial backplane. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Direction-controlled bus switch enabling module-to-module communication while preventing cross-talk during insertion/removal. Use Value: −40 °C to +125 °C rating ensures reliability in enclosed enclosures; 3-state disable timing prevents glitches during hot-swap transitions. |
Use Scenario: Connecting external SRAM or I/O expanders to a microprocessor's multiplexed address/data bus (AD0–AD7). IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Separating time-multiplexed AD bus into dedicated address and data phases using DIR and OE synchronized to ALE. Use Value: 10 ns propagation delay meets tight 5 V MPU timing budgets; low 3.5 pF input capacitance avoids clock skew on critical control lines. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal bus transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 74HC245N,652 | CMOS-input variant; VIH/VIL referenced to VCC (e.g., VIH ≥ 3.15 V at VCC = 4.5 V); higher noise immunity but incompatible with TTL logic levels. | Requires 5 V CMOS or buffered TTL sources; unsuitable for direct connection to standard LS TTL outputs. | Select only when driving from CMOS or actively level-shifted sources; verify input thresholds match upstream driver VOH/VOL. |
| SN74HCT245N | Functionally identical pinout, timing, and electrical specs; manufactured by Texas Instruments; same JEDEC 7A compliance and −40 °C to +125 °C rating. | No functional difference; validated drop-in replacement per TI datasheet SLFS067K and NXP documentation cross-reference. | Preferred for dual-sourcing; identical layout, BOM, and qualification - no redesign required. |

FAQ
What is the recommended operating voltage range for the 74HCT245N,652?
The 74HCT245N,652 is specified for 4.5 V to 5.5 V operation. Operation outside this range - including at 3.3 V or above 5.5 V - is not guaranteed and may result in incorrect logic levels, increased ICC, or permanent damage. Always use a regulated 5 V supply with local decoupling for reliable 74HCT245N,652 performance.
Can the 74HCT245N,652 be used with 3.3 V logic systems?
No, the 74HCT245N,652 is not 3.3 V compatible. Its TTL-compatible inputs require VIH ≥ 2.0 V, but its minimum VCC is 4.5 V - applying 3.3 V will cause undefined operation and potential latch-up. For 3.3 V systems, use 74LVC245 or similar LVCMOS transceivers instead of the 74HCT245N,652.
What is the maximum capacitive load the 74HCT245N,652 can drive reliably?
The 74HCT245N,652 is characterized with CL = 15 pF for timing specifications (e.g., 10 ns tPLH). While it can drive higher loads, propagation delay increases linearly with capacitance, and output transition times degrade. For >30 pF loads, verify timing margins in-system; always limit trace+load capacitance to ≤50 pF for stable 74HCT245N,652 operation at full speed.
How does the DIR pin affect data flow direction in the 74HCT245N,652?
When DIR = HIGH, data flows from A0–A7 to B0–B7; when DIR = LOW, data flows from B0–B7 to A0–A7. This bidirectional control is synchronous with OE: only when OE = LOW does the selected path conduct. The 74HCT245N,652 does not auto-detect direction - DIR must be driven externally by the system controller.
Is the 74HCT245N,652 RoHS compliant and lead-free?
Yes, the 74HCT245N,652 (SOT146-1 package) is RoHS compliant and lead-free per NXP's product change notification PCN 09001. It meets EU Directive 2011/65/EU and contains ≤0.1 wt% lead, with exemptions applied only where technically necessary per Annex III - fully suitable for modern 74HCT245N,652-based designs.
