Product details
Overview
74LCXH245MTC from ON Semiconductor is a low-voltage, 20-pin TSSOP bidirectional transceiver with bushold inputs and 3-STATE outputs, designed for 2.3V–3.6V bus interfacing between mixed-voltage domains. It features ±24 mA output drive at VCC = 3.0V, 7.0 ns max propagation delay at 3.3V, and 5V-tolerant control inputs (OE, T/R). It is used in FPGA-to-ASIC data path isolation and hot-swap I/O buffering.
For engineers reviewing the 74LCXH245MTC datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include bushold-enabled floating-input immunity, bidirectional direction control via T/R, 3-STATE timing (tPZL/tPLZ ≤ 10.5 ns), and JEDEC MO-153 TSSOP package compatibility with high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The 74LCXH245MTC implements an octal non-inverting bidirectional buffer with independent OE (output enable) and T/R (transmit/receive) control logic - enabling dynamic bus direction switching without latch-up risk. Its bushold circuitry actively maintains valid logic levels on A0–A7 and B0–B7 inputs when un-driven, eliminating external pull resistors.
It operates across 2.3V–3.6V VCC with guaranteed DC performance including VIH/VIL thresholds scaled to supply voltage, and AC specifications validated at CL = 50 pF (3.3V/2.7V) and CL = 30 pF (2.5V). ESD robustness exceeds 2000V HBM and 200V MM, supporting industrial board-level handling.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 2.3V–3.6V - supports dual-rail 2.5V/3.3V system interconnect without level shifters |
| Max tPD | 7.0 ns at VCC = 3.3V, CL = 50 pF - enables >100 MHz bus toggle rates in synchronous designs |
| Output Drive | ±24 mA at VCC = 3.0V - drives standard TTL loads and short PCB traces without signal degradation |
| Bushold Current | ±45 µA min at VIN = 0.7V/1.7V (VCC = 2.3V) - sustains stable logic state on unterminated data lines |
| IOH/IOL Thresholds | VOH ≥ VCC − 0.2V @ IOH = −100 µA; VOL ≤ 0.55V @ IOL = 24 mA - ensures noise margin >0.7V in 3.3V systems |
| ESD Rating | Human Body Model > 2000V - meets IEC 61000-4-2 Level 2 for board assembly and field service |
| Quiescent ICC | 10 µA max - reduces standby power in battery-backed or always-on interface modules |
Pinout & Package
74LCXH245MTC is housed in a 20-lead Thin Shrink Small Outline Package (TSSOP), JEDEC MO-153 compliant, 4.4 mm wide, with 0.65 mm lead pitch and exposed pad not present. Pin numbering follows standard counter-clockwise orientation from notch or dot marker.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (OE) | Output Enable Input | Active-low global enable - disables both A and B ports simultaneously into high-impedance state |
| 2–9 (A0–A7) | Side A I/O with Bushold | Bidirectional data port with active bushold - retains last valid logic level when floating or disconnected |
| 10 (GND) | Ground Reference | Primary return path for all internal logic and I/O current; must be low-inductance connection |
| 11–18 (B0–B7) | Side B I/O with Bushold | Second bidirectional port symmetric to A-side; bushold eliminates need for external biasing |
| 19 (T/R) | Transmit/Receive Control | Direction select - LOW routes B→A, HIGH routes A→B; sampled synchronously with OE |
| 20 (VCC) | Power Supply | Single 2.3V–3.6V supply - powers all logic, bushold circuitry, and output drivers |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 5V-tolerant control inputs | OE and T/R accept 0–5.5V signals while VCC = 2.3V–3.6V - simplifies interface to legacy 5V controllers |
| Bushold input circuitry | Eliminates external pull-up/pull-down resistors on all 16 I/O pins - reduces BOM count and PCB area by ≥16 passives |
| Low skew outputs | tOSHL/tOSLH ≤ 1.0 ns - ensures simultaneous edge alignment across all 8 bits for timing-critical parallel buses |
| Power-down high-Z | Outputs enter high-impedance state within 10.5 ns of OE assertion - prevents bus contention during power sequencing |
| Latch-up immunity | Exceeds 500 mA per JEDEC JESD78 - withstands transient overcurrent events in noisy industrial environments |
Applications
| Industrial PLC Backplane Interface | FPGA I/O Expansion Bridge |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bidirectional transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 74LVC245ABQ | No bushold; requires external pull resistors on unused I/O; 1.65V–3.6V VCC range; slightly lower drive (±24 mA at VCC = 3.3V only) | Suitable where board space allows pull resistors and bus lines are always driven; lacks floating-input immunity | Select when bushold is unnecessary and LVC family footprint compatibility is required |
| SN74AVC245DBR | Higher speed (tPD ≤ 3.2 ns at 1.8V); supports 1.2V–3.6V; no bushold; 5V-tolerant I/O (not just controls); different pinout (T/R on pin 11, OE on pin 19) | Better for ultra-low-voltage, high-speed interfaces (e.g., DDR memory training); incompatible pin mapping prevents drop-in replacement | Choose for sub-2V systems or when 5V-tolerant I/O (not just controls) is mandatory; requires PCB redesign |
Compared with 74LCXH245MTC, 74LVC245ABQ lacks bushold and requires external biasing, increasing BOM cost and layout complexity, while SN74AVC245DBR offers superior speed and wider voltage range but demands full pinout validation and layout revision due to non-compatible terminal assignment.

FAQ
What is the operating voltage range for the 74LCXH245MTC?
The 74LCXH245MTC operates across a VCC range of 2.3V to 3.6V, with guaranteed DC and AC performance specified at 2.5V ±0.2V, 2.7V, and 3.3V ±0.3V. This range enables interoperability between 2.5V and 3.3V logic domains without external level translation. The 74LCXH245MTC also supports data retention down to 1.5V, useful during brown-out conditions.
Does the 74LCXH245MTC require external pull-up resistors on its I/O pins?
No, the 74LCXH245MTC integrates bushold circuitry on all 16 I/O pins (A0–A7 and B0–B7), which actively maintains the last valid logic state when inputs are floating or un-driven. This eliminates the need for external pull-up or pull-down resistors, reducing BOM count and PCB area. The 74LCXH245MTC's bushold current specification (±45 µA min at VCC = 2.3V) ensures reliable state retention under typical noise margins.
What is the maximum propagation delay of the 74LCXH245MTC at 3.3V?
The 74LCXH245MTC has a maximum propagation delay (tPHL/tPLH) of 7.0 ns at VCC = 3.3V ±0.3V with CL = 50 pF. This value is measured between input transition (50% point) and output crossing VOH/VOL thresholds under defined load conditions. The 74LCXH245MTC achieves this performance while maintaining CMOS-level quiescent current (≤10 µA), making it suitable for high-speed, low-power bus applications.
Is the 74LCXH245MTC pin-compatible with other LCXH245 variants?
Yes, the 74LCXH245MTC shares identical pinout and function with other LCXH245 package variants (e.g., 74LCXH245WM in SOIC, 74LCXH245MSA in SSOP), as all are defined under the same logic diagram and pin description table in the Fairchild/ON Semiconductor datasheet. The 74LCXH245MTC uses JEDEC MO-153 TSSOP (MTC20), differing only in physical dimensions and thermal characteristics - not electrical pin assignment or behavior.
What are the ESD protection ratings for the 74LCXH245MTC?
The 74LCXH245MTC provides ESD protection rated at >2000V per Human Body Model (HBM) and >200V per Machine Model (MM), as verified in the original Fairchild DS500363 datasheet. These ratings apply to all I/O pins (A0–A7, B0–B7) and control inputs (OE, T/R). The 74LCXH245MTC's robustness supports safe handling during automated assembly and field maintenance without additional protection circuitry.
