Product details
Overview
74HCT245PW,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 direction control (DIR) and active-low output enable (OE), enabling high-impedance isolation of A- and B-side buses. Used in microcontroller peripheral interfacing, memory expansion, and level-shifting between 5 V logic domains.
For engineers reviewing the 74HCT245PW,118 datasheet, 74HCT245PW,118 pinout, 74HCT245PW,118 application, or 74HCT245PW,118 equivalent, this device supports precise bus arbitration in industrial control backplanes, legacy ISA-style expansion interfaces, and FPGA-to-microprocessor data path bridging where TTL-level compatibility and low propagation delay are required.
Technical Context
The 74HCT245PW,118 implements a dual-bus architecture with separate A- and B-side 8-bit I/O ports, controlled by DIR to determine data flow direction (A→B or B→A) and OE to place all outputs in high-impedance state. Its TTL-input thresholds (VIH = 2.0 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max at VCC = 5 V) ensure reliable interfacing with standard 5 V TTL outputs without level translation.
Propagation delay is specified at 12 ns (typ) to 33 ns (max) across -40 °C to +125 °C for A↔B paths at VCC = 4.5 V, with enable/disable times ≤ 45 ns (max). Input clamping diodes allow safe interface to voltages exceeding VCC when used with current-limiting resistors.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - Ensures stable operation in standard 5 V systems with ±5% tolerance. |
| Input Thresholds | VIH = 2.0 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max - Guarantees robust recognition of TTL logic levels without external biasing. |
| Propagation Delay | 12 ns (typ), 33 ns (max) at VCC = 4.5 V - Supports 20+ MHz bus clocking in synchronous data transfers. |
| Output Drive | ±6 mA at VCC = 4.5 V - Sufficient to drive 10 LSTTL loads or 15 pF capacitive loads directly. |
| Operating Temperature | -40 °C to +125 °C - Qualified for under-hood automotive modules and industrial PLC I/O stages. |
| ESD Protection | HBM > 2000 V, CDM > 1000 V - Reduces risk of handling damage during PCB assembly and field service. |
| Power Dissipation | 250 mW max (TSSOP20 package) - Enables dense placement in space-constrained control boards without forced cooling. |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP20 package (SOT360-1): 20-pin thin shrink small outline, 4.4 mm body width, 0.65 mm pitch, lead-free and RoHS compliant.
| 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. |
| 2–9 (A0–A7) | Port A bidirectional I/O | Connects to microcontroller or FPGA data bus; shares pins for input/output based on DIR state. |
| 10 (GND) | Ground reference | 0 V return path for all internal logic and output drivers; must be low-impedance for noise immunity. |
| 11–18 (B0–B7) | Port B bidirectional I/O | Interfaces to peripheral devices (e.g., SRAM, EEPROM); electrically isolated from Port A when OE = HIGH. |
| 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 power rail; decoupling capacitor (100 nF) required within 5 mm for stable switching. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| TTL-compatible inputs | VIH/VIL thresholds match legacy 5 V TTL families - eliminates need for external level shifters in mixed-logic systems. |
| 3-state bus isolation | OE-controlled high-impedance outputs prevent bus contention during multi-device access - mandatory for shared data highways. |
| Wide temperature range | Specified from -40 °C to +125 °C - supports deployment in engine control units, motor drives, and outdoor telecom equipment. |
| Clamp diode protection | Integrated input diodes allow safe interface to signals up to VCC + 0.5 V using series resistors - simplifies overvoltage hardening. |
| Low dynamic power | CPD = 30 pF - limits switching current in high-frequency applications, reducing heat generation in TSSOP package. |

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74HCT245PWR | TSSOP20 package, identical electrical specs, TI's version with different thermal derating (300 mW @ 100 °C). | Same functional behavior but requires validation of board-level thermal margin due to higher Ptot at elevated ambient. | Select if sourcing from TI-authorized channels; verify layout cooling matches Nexperia's 250 mW limit at 125 °C. |
| 74HCT245D,118 | SO20 package (SOT163-1), same logic and timing, but larger footprint (7.5 mm width) and lower thermal resistance (500 mW max). | Better suited for prototyping or low-volume industrial boards where manual soldering and thermal mass are advantageous. | Choose for through-hole-compatible reworkability or when board space permits wider SO package and higher power headroom. |

FAQ
Can 74HCT245PW,118 operate at 3.3 V supply?
No. The 74HCT245PW,118 is specified only for 4.5 V to 5.5 V operation per its recommended conditions. At 3.3 V, VIH and VIL thresholds fall outside TTL compatibility, and output drive strength degrades significantly. Use 74LVC245 or 74ALVC245 for 3.3 V systems.
What is the maximum capacitive load the outputs can drive reliably?
The outputs are characterized up to 15 pF load capacitance with guaranteed timing (tpd ≤ 33 ns max at VCC = 4.5 V). Driving >15 pF increases propagation delay nonlinearly and may cause signal integrity issues; add series termination or buffer stages for heavier loads.
Is the GND pin (Pin 10) internally connected to the exposed thermal pad in TSSOP20?
No. The TSSOP20 package (SOT360-1) has no exposed thermal pad. Pin 10 is the sole GND connection. Unlike QFN variants, this package relies on lead-frame conduction; ensure solid copper pour under the entire footprint for thermal and EMI performance.
How does the DIR pin behave during power-up before VCC stabilizes?
DIR has no internal pull-up/down; its state is undefined until VCC reaches ~1.5 V. To prevent bus contention, tie DIR to a known state (e.g., via 10 kΩ resistor to GND or VCC) or synchronize it with reset assertion in the host system firmware.
