Product details
Overview
74LCXR2245SJX from Fairchild Semiconductor is a low-voltage, 8-bit bidirectional transceiver with 5V-tolerant I/O, 26Ω integrated series resistors on all A/B ports, 3.3V/2.5V VCC operation (2.3–3.6V), and 8.0ns max propagation delay at VCC = 3.3V. It enables level-shifting between 2.5V/3.3V buses and legacy 5V systems in memory expansion and peripheral interconnect applications.
For engineers reviewing the 74LCXR2245SJX datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include 5V tolerance without external clamping, built-in 26Ω output impedance for EMI suppression, 3-STATE bidirectional control via OE/T/R, ±12mA drive at 3.0V, and live-insertion support during hot-swap operations.
Technical Context
The 74LCXR2245SJX implements dual-bus bidirectional data flow controlled by separate Transmit/Receive (T/R) and Output Enable (OE) inputs - T/R selects direction (A→B or B→A), while OE forces both ports into high-impedance state. Its advanced CMOS process delivers high-speed switching (tPHL/tPLH ≤ 8.0ns at 3.3V) with ultra-low ICC (≤10µA) in quiescent mode.
All I/O pins feature 5V tolerance across VCC = 2.3–3.6V, enabling safe interfacing to 5V logic without level translators. The integrated 26Ω series resistor per output reduces overshoot/undershoot and improves signal integrity on stubbed or unterminated traces - a design-critical feature for noise-sensitive industrial and telecom backplanes.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 2.3V–3.6V operating supply; supports mixed-voltage system integration with 2.5V/3.3V domains. |
| I/O Voltage Tolerance | 0V–5.5V input/output voltage range independent of VCC; eliminates need for external clamping diodes when interfacing to 5V buses. |
| Propagation Delay | Max 8.0ns (VCC = 3.3V, CL = 50pF); ensures timing compliance in high-speed parallel bus designs up to ~100MHz. |
| Output Drive | ±12mA at VCC = 3.0V; sufficient to drive standard TTL loads and moderate capacitive bus stubs without external buffers. |
| Series Resistance | 26Ω integrated on all A0–A7 and B0–B7 outputs; damps reflections and reduces EMI emissions without discrete resistors. |
| Power-Down Leakage | IOFF ≤ 10µA at VCC = 0V with VI/VO = 5.5V; prevents back-powering and maintains isolation during system sleep states. |
| ESD Rating | Human Body Model > 2000V; meets industrial handling requirements without additional protection circuitry. |
Pinout & Package
74LCXR2245SJX is packaged in a 20-lead Small Outline Package (SOP), EIAJ TYPE II, 5.3mm wide (Package Code M20D), with standard 1.27mm pitch and gull-wing leads. Pin 1 is marked by a notch or dot; device orientation follows JEDEC MO-150 mechanical standards.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (OE) | Output Enable Input | Active-Low global enable: drives both A and B ports into high-impedance when HIGH; requires pull-up to VCC for power-up safety. |
| 2 (T/R) | Transmit/Receive Control | Determines data direction: LOW = B→A, HIGH = A→B; must be stable before OE activation to avoid bus contention. |
| 3–10 (A0–A7) | Side A Bidirectional I/O | 8-bit port with 5V-tolerant inputs/outputs and integrated 26Ω series resistance; connects to local low-voltage bus (e.g., 3.3V CPU address/data). |
| 11 (GND) | Ground Reference | Primary ground return for VCC and I/O; must be low-inductance connection to minimize ground bounce in high-speed switching. |
| 12–19 (B0–B7) | Side B Bidirectional I/O | 8-bit port identical to A-side; interfaces to external 5V subsystems (e.g., legacy peripherals, EEPROMs, or FPGAs) with no level-shifter required. |
| 20 (VCC) | Supply Voltage | 2.3–3.6V core supply; decoupling capacitor (0.1µF ceramic) required within 5mm of pin for AC noise suppression. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 5V-tolerant I/O architecture | Enables direct connection to 5V logic without external voltage translators or clamping diodes, reducing BOM count and PCB area. |
| Integrated 26Ω series termination | Reduces signal ringing and EMI emissions on both A and B ports, eliminating need for 16 discrete 26Ω resistors and associated layout complexity. |
| Live insertion/withdrawal support | High-impedance power-down state (OE = HIGH) prevents bus contention during hot-plug events in modular backplane or card-edge systems. |
| Low dynamic power dissipation | CPD = 25pF at 10MHz enables <1mW typical active power at 3.3V/10MHz, critical for thermally constrained embedded modules. |
| Robust latch-up immunity | Latch-up performance exceeds 500mA per IEC 61000-4-2, ensuring reliability in noisy industrial environments with transient coupling. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bidirectional transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 74LVC245APW,118 | No integrated series resistors; 5V-tolerant I/O only at VCC = 3.3V; tPD = 5.6ns (faster but less EMI robust). | Lacks built-in 26Ω termination; requires external resistors for EMI control in high-speed layouts. | Select when maximum speed is prioritized over EMI reduction and board space is available for discrete termination. |
| SN74AVC245DGVR | Supports 1.2V–3.6V VCC; 5V-tolerant only with external clamping; no integrated series resistors; higher drive (±24mA). | Requires external TVS diodes for 5V bus protection; lacks inherent signal damping capability. | Choose for ultra-low-voltage systems (<1.8V) where 74LCXR2245SJX's 2.3V minimum VCC is insufficient. |
Compared with 74LVC245APW,118 and SN74AVC245DGVR, the 74LCXR2245SJX uniquely combines 5V tolerance, integrated 26Ω termination, and live-insertion support in a single 20-pin SOP - delivering lower EMI, reduced BOM, and simplified layout for industrial and telecom backplane designs.

FAQ
What is the minimum VCC required for reliable operation of the 74LCXR2245SJX?
The 74LCXR2245SJX specifies a minimum operating VCC of 2.3V across the full temperature range (–40°C to +85°C). Below 2.3V, parameters such as VOH, VOL, and tPD are not guaranteed - for example, at VCC = 2.0V, the device may power up but fail to meet 5V-tolerance or timing specs. Always operate the 74LCXR2245SJX within 2.3V–3.6V for full compliance with datasheet specifications.
Can the 74LCXR2245SJX safely interface a 3.3V microcontroller with a 5V EEPROM without external components?
Yes - the 74LCXR2245SJX supports 0V–5.5V input/output voltage levels regardless of VCC (2.3V–3.6V), enabling direct connection between a 3.3V MCU and 5V EEPROM. Its 5V-tolerant I/O eliminates clamping diodes, and the integrated 26Ω series resistors suppress ringing on SDA/SCL or data/address lines. No level translators, pull-ups, or termination resistors are needed for basic I²C or parallel EEPROM interfacing.
How does the 26Ω series resistor in the 74LCXR2245SJX improve signal integrity?
The 26Ω resistor integrated on each A/B port output acts as source termination, matching typical PCB trace impedances (40–70Ω) to reduce reflections at the driver end. This minimizes overshoot/undershoot (measured as ≤0.5V peak deviation in dynamic tests), lowers radiated EMI, and stabilizes eye diagrams in 8-bit parallel buses running up to 100MHz. Unlike discrete resistors, it is precisely matched across all 16 lines and immune to layout parasitics.
What is the recommended power-up sequence for the 74LCXR2245SJX to avoid bus contention?
To prevent contention during power-up, tie OE to VCC via a pull-up resistor (minimum value determined by driver current capability, typically 4.7kΩ–10kΩ) so the device powers up in high-impedance state. Ensure VCC stabilizes before asserting T/R or driving A/B bus signals. Do not float OE or T/R - unused inputs must be held HIGH or LOW per datasheet Note 4, as floating control lines can cause metastability and unintended data flow.
Is the 74LCXR2245SJX pin-compatible with other 20-pin transceivers like the 74LCX245?
No - the 74LCXR2245SJX has a distinct pinout optimized for bidirectional control: OE is on Pin 1, T/R on Pin 2, A0–A7 on Pins 3–10, GND on Pin 11, B0–B7 on Pins 12–19, and VCC on Pin 20. In contrast, the 74LCX245 places OE on Pin 19 and uses separate A/B enable pins. Swapping them causes immediate bus conflicts and potential damage; always verify pin mapping against the 74LCXR2245SJX datasheet Figure 1 before PCB layout.
