Product details
Overview
74HCT245PW,112 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 output enable (OE) controls, 20-pin TSSOP package, and supports high-noise-immunity data transfer between buses in industrial microcontroller systems, memory interfaces, and peripheral expansion modules.
For engineers reviewing the 74HCT245PW,112 datasheet, 74HCT245PW,112 pinout, 74HCT245PW,112 application, or 74HCT245PW,112 equivalent, this device is selected for level-shifting and bus isolation where TTL input thresholds, low propagation delay (<22 ns at 5 V), and guaranteed 3-state output control are required in space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The 74HCT245PW,112 implements a dual-bus interface using complementary MOS logic with TTL-level input thresholds (VIH = 2.0 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max at VCC = 5 V), enabling direct connection to legacy 5 V TTL drivers. Its DIR pin selects data flow direction (A→B or B→A), while active-low OE disables all outputs into high-impedance state-critical for bus arbitration and hot-swap compatibility.
Input clamping diodes allow safe interfacing to voltages exceeding VCC when used with current-limiting resistors. The device operates across -40 °C to +125 °C, meets JEDEC JESD7A and JESD8C standards, and delivers 6 mA output drive capability with VOL ≤ 0.26 V and VOH ≥ 3.98 V under load.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - Ensures compatibility with standard 5 V TTL logic domains and stable operation under rail variation. |
| Propagation Delay | 10 ns typ (VCC = 5 V, CL = 15 pF) - Enables reliable 50 MHz bus handshaking in synchronous peripheral interfaces. |
| Output Drive | ±6 mA - Sufficient to drive 10 LSTTL loads or terminate 50 Ω transmission lines without external buffers. |
| Input Thresholds | VIH = 2.0 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max - Guarantees noise margin >0.4 V in noisy industrial environments. |
| 3-State Leakage | IOZ ≤ ±5.0 μA (VCC = 5.5 V) - Prevents signal corruption during bus contention or power sequencing. |
| Operating Temperature | -40 °C to +125 °C - Validated for under-hood automotive ECUs and industrial PLC backplanes. |
| Power Dissipation | 250 mW max (TSSOP20) - Supports continuous operation in thermally constrained enclosures without forced cooling. |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP20 (SOT360-1) package: 20-lead plastic thin shrink small outline, 4.4 mm body width, 0.65 mm pitch, exposed pad optional for thermal enhancement.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (DIR) | Direction control input | LOW enables A→B data flow; HIGH enables B→A - critical for full-duplex bus arbitration. |
| 2–9 (A0–A7) | Port A data I/O | Bidirectional terminals tied to microcontroller address/data bus; internally buffered with CMOS drivers. |
| 10 (GND) | Ground reference | 0 V return path for all logic and output currents; must be low-inductance connection for signal integrity. |
| 11–18 (B0–B7) | Port B data I/O | Second bus port with identical electrical characteristics to Port A; supports isolated memory or peripheral expansion. |
| 19 (OE) | Active-low output enable | Drives all A/B outputs to high-impedance when HIGH - essential for multi-master bus sharing. |
| 20 (VCC) | Positive supply | 5 V nominal rail; decoupling capacitor (100 nF) required within 5 mm of pin for transient immunity. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| TTL-compatible inputs | VIH/VIL thresholds match legacy 5 V TTL families, eliminating level-shifters in mixed-logic designs. |
| Non-inverting 3-state outputs | Preserves signal polarity during bidirectional transfer and ensures clean bus release without glitches. |
| Input clamp diodes | Enable safe overvoltage tolerance up to VCC + 0.5 V using series resistors - simplifies interface to higher-voltage sensors. |
| Latch-up immunity | Exceeds 100 mA per JESD78 Class II Level B - prevents destructive latch-up during ESD or supply transients. |
| ESD protection | HBM >2000 V, CDM >1000 V - meets IEC 61000-4-2 Level 3 for handling in uncontrolled environments. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal bus transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74HCT245PWR | TI part in TSSOP20; identical VCC range, VIH/VIL, and timing specs; slightly higher ICC (160 μA max vs 80 μA). | Same industrial temperature grade; validated for TI-specific reference designs with C2000 MCUs. | Select when sourcing from TI-authorized channels or requiring TI's long-term product continuity assurance. |
| 74LVC245APW,118 | Nexperia LVC variant: 1.65–3.6 V supply only; lower drive (24 mA), faster tpd (5.3 ns @ 3.3 V); no TTL input compatibility. | Designed for 3.3 V-only systems; unsuitable for 5 V TTL interfacing without external level translation. | Choose only for new 3.3 V designs prioritizing speed and low voltage operation over backward compatibility. |
Compared with SN74HCT245PWR, the 74HCT245PW,112 offers lower quiescent current and identical pinout, while 74LVC245APW,118 trades TTL compatibility for 3.3 V efficiency-making the original optimal for mixed-voltage legacy upgrades.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by the 74HCT245PW,112?
The 74HCT245PW,112 does not operate on a clock; it is an asynchronous transceiver. Its usable data rate depends on propagation delay (10 ns typical at 5 V) and system setup/hold timing. For reliable operation with 15 pF loads, it supports bus toggle rates up to 50 MHz in well-designed layouts with proper termination and decoupling.
Can the 74HCT245PW,112 interface between 3.3 V and 5 V logic domains?
No-it is not a level shifter. Its inputs require TTL-compatible thresholds (VIH ≥ 2.0 V), but its outputs swing rail-to-rail (0 V to VCC). Driving a 3.3 V input with its 5 V outputs risks damage unless current-limiting or clamping is added. Use dedicated level translators like TXB0108 for safe 3.3 V ↔ 5 V interfacing.
Is the exposed thermal pad on the TSSOP20 package electrically connected?
No-the thermal pad on the 74HCT245PW,112 (SOT360-1) is not electrically connected to any internal node. Nexperia documentation states it may remain floating or be soldered to GND for thermal improvement, but no electrical function is assigned to it.
How does the DIR pin behave during power-up or brown-out conditions?
The DIR pin has no internal pull-up or pull-down. During power-up or brown-out, its state is undefined until externally biased. To prevent unintended bus contention, tie DIR to a known state (e.g., via 10 kΩ resistor to GND or VCC) before VCC stabilizes, or control it from a reset-managed GPIO.
