Product details
Overview
74HCT245PW-Q100 from Nexperia is an automotive-grade octal 3-state bidirectional bus transceiver with TTL-compatible inputs, 20-pin TSSOP package, -40 °C to +125 °C operating range, and 4.5 V to 5.5 V supply voltage - used for level-shifting and data bus isolation in engine control units and ADAS domain controllers.
For engineers reviewing the 74HCT245PW-Q100 datasheet, 74HCT245PW-Q100 pinout, 74HCT245PW-Q100 application, or 74HCT245PW-Q100 equivalent, key selection criteria include direction control (DIR) logic, output enable (OE) polarity, propagation delay at 5 V (10 ns typ), 3-state leakage (±5 μA max), and AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification for under-hood deployment.
Technical Context
This device implements non-inverting bidirectional data flow between two 8-bit buses using a single DIR signal to select direction (A→B or B→A) and an active-low OE input to place all outputs in high-impedance state. It features integrated input clamp diodes enabling safe interfacing with voltages exceeding VCC when used with current-limiting resistors.
Designed for automotive environments, it meets AEC-Q100 Grade 1 requirements, supports wide temperature operation (-40 °C to +125 °C), and delivers TTL-level input thresholds (VIH = 2.0 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max at VCC = 5.5 V) while maintaining CMOS-level output drive (VOH ≥ 3.7 V at IO = -6 mA, VOL ≤ 0.4 V at IO = 6 mA).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - ensures compatibility with standard 5 V automotive power rails and tolerance against load-dump transients. |
| Propagation Delay | 10 ns typical (VCC = 5.0 V, CL = 15 pF) - enables reliable 50 MHz bus operation with timing margin for routing skew. |
| Output Drive | ±6 mA - sufficient to drive 50 pF loads across PCB traces without signal integrity degradation. |
| 3-State Leakage | ±5.0 μA max (VCC = 5.5 V) - minimizes standby current in powered-down subsystems. |
| Input Thresholds | VIH = 2.0 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max - guarantees robust recognition of TTL logic levels across full temperature range. |
| ESD Protection | HBM > 2000 V, CDM > 1000 V - exceeds AEC-Q100 requirements for assembly and field reliability. |
| Operating Temperature | -40 °C to +125 °C - qualified for engine bay and transmission control module mounting locations. |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP20 plastic thin shrink small outline package (SOT360-1), 20 leads, body width 4.4 mm, 0.65 mm pitch, exposed pad not electrically connected.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (DIR) | Direction control input | LOW selects A→B data flow; HIGH selects B→A - determines bus master/slave relationship dynamically. |
| 2–9 (A0–A7) | Port A data I/O | 8-bit bidirectional interface tied to microcontroller or ASIC local bus; clamped for overvoltage resilience. |
| 10 (GND) | Ground reference | 0 V return path for all internal logic and I/O; must be low-inductance connection for noise immunity. |
| 11–18 (B0–B7) | Port B data I/O | 8-bit bidirectional interface connected to peripheral bus or sensor cluster; electrically isolated when OE is HIGH. |
| 19 (OE) | Output enable (active LOW) | Drives all A/B outputs to high-impedance when HIGH - enables multi-drop bus arbitration and hot-swap capability. |
| 20 (VCC) | Supply voltage | Primary power rail; decoupling capacitor (100 nF) required within 5 mm for stable switching performance. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification | Validated for continuous operation from -40 °C to +125 °C in automotive powertrain and chassis systems. |
| TTL-compatible input thresholds | Ensures interoperability with legacy 5 V microcontrollers and FPGAs without level-shifter circuitry. |
| Clamp diode protection on all inputs | Allows safe interface to signals up to VCC + 0.5 V using external current-limiting resistors. |
| Low dynamic power dissipation | CPD = 30 pF - limits switching current in high-frequency bus applications, reducing thermal load. |
| Side-wettable flanks (SWF) | Enables automated optical inspection (AOI) of solder joints in TSSOP20 package for production traceability. |
Applications

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 | Lower VCC range (1.65–3.6 V); CMOS inputs only; no AEC-Q100 qualification. | Suitable for 3.3 V consumer electronics; not rated for automotive under-hood use. | Select only for non-automotive designs requiring lower supply voltage and higher speed (7.3 ns tpd at 3.3 V). |
| 74LVX245MTR | Wider VCC (2.0–3.6 V); guaranteed 3.3 V operation; AEC-Q100 Grade 2 (−40 °C to +105 °C) only. | Limited to cabin ambient applications; insufficient for powertrain or ADAS thermal profiles. | Choose when cost sensitivity outweighs extended temperature requirement and 5 V compatibility is unnecessary. |
Compared with SN74LVC245APWR and 74LVX245MTR, the 74HCT245PW-Q100 uniquely combines 5 V TTL compatibility, AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification, and 125 °C operation - making it the sole option for safety-critical engine and braking system interfaces where voltage margin and thermal resilience are non-negotiable.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by the 74HCT245PW-Q100?
The device does not operate on a clock; it is asynchronous. Its 10 ns typical propagation delay at 5 V allows reliable use in DC to ~50 MHz data bus applications, assuming trace lengths and loading meet signal integrity constraints defined by tpd and tt (transition time ≤15 ns).
Can the 74HCT245PW-Q100 interface 3.3 V logic with 5 V logic safely?
No - its inputs are TTL-compatible (VIH ≥ 2.0 V), but outputs swing rail-to-rail (0 V to VCC). Driving a 3.3 V input with 5 V outputs risks damage unless external clamping or level-shifting is added; it is designed for 5 V ↔ 5 V or 5 V → tolerant 3.3 V inputs with series resistance.
Is the exposed pad on the TSSOP20 package electrically connected?
No - the thermal pad in SOT360-1 is not electrically connected per Nexperia's datasheet (Section 5.1). It may remain floating or be connected 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?
DIR has no internal pull-up/down; it is undefined at power-up. System design must ensure DIR is held LOW or HIGH via external bias (e.g., resistor to VCC/GND) before VCC stabilizes to prevent metastability or unintended bus direction during reset.
