Product details
Overview
74LCXR2245WM from Fairchild Semiconductor is a low-voltage bidirectional transceiver with 5V-tolerant I/O, 26Ω integrated series resistors on all A/B ports, 8.0ns max propagation delay at 3.3V, ±12mA drive strength at 3.0V, and 3-STATE control via OE and T/R inputs-designed for voltage-level translation between 2.3–3.6V buses and legacy 5V systems in embedded data paths.
For engineers reviewing the 74LCXR2245WM datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include 5V tolerance under 3.3V VCC operation, live-insertion support, output skew ≤1.0ns, power-down high-impedance behavior, and SOIC-20 package compatibility with JEDEC MS-013 footprint.
Technical Context
The 74LCXR2245WM implements eight non-inverting bidirectional buffers with independent direction control (T/R) and global 3-STATE enable (OE), enabling dynamic bus arbitration in mixed-voltage systems. Its advanced CMOS process delivers high-speed switching while maintaining <10µA quiescent ICC at 3.3V.
All I/O pins feature 5V tolerance across 2.3–3.6V VCC operation, with built-in 26Ω series resistors reducing overshoot/undershoot without external components. The device supports hot-plug operation via controlled high-impedance transitions during power-up/down when OE is pulled up.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 2.3V–3.6V operating supply; enables direct interface with 2.5V/3.3V logic rails |
| tPD Max | 8.0ns at VCC = 3.3V, CL = 50pF - ensures sub-10ns timing margin in high-speed data transfer |
| I/O Voltage Tolerance | 0–5.5V input/output range - allows safe connection to 5V peripherals without level shifters |
| Output Drive | ±12mA at VCC = 3.0V - sufficient to drive standard TTL loads and moderate capacitive buses |
| Series Resistance | 26Ω on all A/B port outputs - damps reflections and reduces EMI without discrete resistors |
| ICC Max | 10µA quiescent current - supports ultra-low-power standby modes in battery-sensitive designs |
| ESD Rating | HBM > 2000V - provides robust handling protection during board assembly and field service |
Pinout & Package
74LCXR2245WM is housed in a 20-lead Small Outline Integrated Circuit (SOIC) package per JEDEC MS-013, 0.300" wide, with standard 1.27mm pitch and gull-wing leads. Pin 1 is marked by a notch or dot; pin 10 is VCC, pin 20 is GND.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| OE | Global Output Enable Input | Active-Low control: drives both A and B ports into high-impedance state when HIGH |
| T/R | Direction Control Input | LOW = B→A data flow; HIGH = A→B data flow; determines signal path directionality |
| A0–A7 | Side-A Bidirectional I/O | Connects to low-voltage (2.3–3.6V) bus; 5V-tolerant; includes 26Ω series resistor |
| B0–B7 | Side-B Bidirectional I/O | Connects to 5V or mixed-voltage bus; identical 5V tolerance and damping as A-side |
| VCC | Power Supply | Supplies core logic; must be decoupled locally; supports 2.3–3.6V operation only |
| GND | Ground Reference | Common return for all I/O and internal circuitry; requires low-inductance PCB connection |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 5V-Tolerant I/O | Enables direct interfacing with 5V peripherals while powered from 2.3–3.6V rails-eliminates external level translators |
| Integrated 26Ω Series Resistors | Reduces output ringing and EMI emissions without requiring external termination components on either bus side |
| Live Insertion Support | Guarantees high-impedance state during power sequencing when OE is pulled up-prevents bus contention during hot-swap |
| Low Propagation Skew | ≤1.0ns output-to-output skew ensures simultaneous edge alignment across all 8 channels for synchronous data capture |
| Ultra-Low ICC | 10µA max quiescent supply current enables use in always-on subsystems with strict power budgets |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bidirectional transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC245APWR | No integrated 26Ω resistors; 3.6V max VCC; 5V-tolerant inputs only (not outputs) | Requires external series resistors for EMI control; unsuitable for 5V-driven outputs | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs EMI performance and full 5V I/O tolerance is unnecessary |
| 74AVC245PW | Lower VCC range (1.2–3.6V); no 5V tolerance; higher speed (tPD = 2.8ns @ 1.8V) | Not compatible with 5V buses; requires additional level-shifting circuitry for legacy interfaces | Select for ultra-low-voltage, high-speed applications where 5V interoperability is absent |
Compared with SN74LVC245APWR and 74AVC245PW, the 74LCXR2245WM uniquely combines full 5V I/O tolerance, integrated 26Ω damping, and live-insertion support-making it the only option among the three qualified for mixed-voltage hot-swap bus bridging without external components.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for the 74LCXR2245WM?
The 74LCXR2245WM is rated for free-air operating temperatures from –40°C to +85°C, making it suitable for industrial and extended-temperature embedded applications. This range is validated across all specified VCC (2.3–3.6V) and I/O (0–5.5V) conditions, with AC timing parameters guaranteed within this span.
Does the 74LCXR2245WM require external pull-up resistors on OE or T/R inputs?
Yes-the 74LCXR2245WM requires OE to be tied to VCC through a pull-up resistor during power-up/down to ensure predictable high-impedance behavior; the minimum resistance value depends on the driver's sourcing capability, as specified in the datasheet note. T/R may be driven directly but must not float.
Can the 74LCXR2245WM drive a 50pF load at 3.3V while meeting its 8.0ns tPD specification?
Yes-the 74LCXR2245WM guarantees a maximum propagation delay of 8.0ns at VCC = 3.3V ± 0.3V with CL = 50pF, as confirmed in the AC Electrical Characteristics table. This specification applies to both A→B and B→A directions under standard test conditions.
Is the 74LCXR2245WM pin-compatible with other 20-pin transceivers like the 74LVC245?
No-the 74LCXR2245WM uses a distinct pinout: OE and T/R are dedicated control inputs, whereas 74LVC245 uses OE and DIR. Signal pins A0–A7 and B0–B7 occupy different positions, and the 74LCXR2245WM includes integrated 26Ω resistors not present in LVC variants-requiring PCB layout changes for substitution.
What is the purpose of the 26Ω series resistors on the 74LCXR2245WM outputs?
The 26Ω series resistors on all A and B port outputs of the 74LCXR2245WM damp signal reflections and reduce overshoot/undershoot on transmission lines, lowering radiated EMI without requiring external components-critical for maintaining signal integrity in compact, high-speed digital interconnects.
