Product details
Overview
74LCXZ245SJ from Fairchild Semiconductor is a low-voltage bidirectional transceiver with 5V-tolerant inputs and outputs, designed for bus-oriented applications between 2.5V/3.3V logic domains and 5V signal environments. It features 8 non-inverting channels, 3-STATE outputs, direction control via T/R input, output enable via OE, and operates at VCC = 2.3–3.6V with 7.0 ns max propagation delay (3.3V).
For engineers reviewing the 74LCXZ245SJ datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include 5V tolerance on all I/Os, power-down high-impedance behavior below 1.5V VCC, ±24 mA drive strength at 3.0V, ESD robustness (2000V HBM), and compatibility with live insertion in hot-swap systems.
Technical Context
The 74LCXZ245SJ implements dual-bus bidirectional data flow controlled by separate OE (output enable) and T/R (transmit/receive) inputs, enabling flexible bus arbitration in mixed-voltage systems. Its CMOS design ensures rail-to-rail 5V-tolerant I/O operation while maintaining sub-10 ns propagation delay and low ICC (≤225 µA quiescent current) across 2.3–3.6V supply range.
During power-up/down (VCC ≤1.5V), all I/Os enter a guaranteed high-impedance state independent of OE/T/R control, preventing bus contention. The device integrates patented noise/EMI reduction circuitry and meets latch-up immunity >500 mA per JEDEC JESD78.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 2.3V to 3.6V - supports both 2.5V and 3.3V system rails without level shifters |
| Propagation Delay | 7.0 ns max (VCC = 3.3V, CL = 50 pF) - enables high-speed bus transfer up to ~100 MHz effective throughput |
| I/O Voltage Tolerance | 0V to 5.5V - allows direct connection to 5V buses without external protection or translation |
| Output Drive | ±24 mA (VCC = 3.0V) - drives standard TTL loads and multiple CMOS inputs under worst-case conditions |
| Power-Down Behavior | High-impedance I/Os when VCC ≤1.5V - eliminates bus glitches during hot-plug or brownout events |
| ESD Rating | 2000V HBM - exceeds standard industrial requirements for handling and board assembly |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for extended industrial temperature operation |
Pinout & Package
Pb-Free 20-Lead Small Outline Package (SOP), EIAJ TYPE II, 5.3mm wide (Package Number M20D).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (OE) | Output Enable Input | Active-low global control: disables both A and B ports into high-impedance state when HIGH |
| 2 (A0) | Side A I/O | Bidirectional terminal - data flows A→B when T/R = HIGH, B→A when T/R = LOW |
| 3 (A1) | Side A I/O | Same bidirectional function as A0; all A0–A7 share identical electrical characteristics |
| 4 (A2) | Side A I/O | Supports 8-bit parallel bus interface with matched timing across all channels |
| 5 (A3) | Side A I/O | No internal pull-up/pull-down; requires external biasing if unused during 3-STATE |
| 6 (A4) | Side A I/O | 5V-tolerant regardless of VCC level - safe for mixed-voltage backplane connections |
| 7 (A5) | Side A I/O | Capacitance: CI/O = 8 pF - minimizes signal distortion on high-speed traces |
| 8 (A6) | Side A I/O | Driven by same internal buffer architecture as A0–A5; no skew beyond 1.0 ns (tOSLH/tOSHL) |
| 9 (A7) | Side A I/O | Final channel of 8-bit data path; shares common OE and T/R control with all A-side pins |
| 10 (GND) | Ground Reference | Single ground pin for entire device; layout must minimize impedance to reduce switching noise |
| 11 (B7) | Side B I/O | Bidirectional counterpart to A7; direction determined solely by T/R input state |
| 12 (B6) | Side B I/O | Matches A6 in timing, drive strength, and voltage tolerance - enables symmetrical bus design |
| 13 (B5) | Side B I/O | IOZ leakage ≤5.0 µA (VCC = 2.3–3.6V) - ensures stable high-Z state during disable |
| 14 (B4) | Side B I/O | Supports live insertion: high-Z on power ramp prevents back-driving of powered subsystems |
| 15 (B3) | Side B I/O | VIH = 2.0V min (VCC = 2.7–3.6V) - compatible with 3.3V LVTTL and LVCMOS logic thresholds |
| 16 (B2) | Side B I/O | VIL = 0.8V max (VCC = 2.7–3.6V) - rejects noise on shared bus lines |
| 17 (B1) | Side B I/O | Same dynamic peak VOL (VOLP = 0.8V typ) as A-side - maintains signal integrity across full bus width |
| 18 (B0) | Side B I/O | First channel of B-side; electrically identical to B1–B7 |
| 19 (T/R) | Transmit/Receive Input | Active-HIGH control: sets data flow direction (A→B when HIGH, B→A when LOW) |
| 20 (VCC) | Supply Voltage | Accepts 2.3–3.6V only; 5V on VCC violates Absolute Maximum Rating and may damage device |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bidirectional transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 74LVC245A | Lower drive (±24 mA at 3.3V but only ±12 mA at 2.7V); no guaranteed power-down high-Z below 1.5V VCC | Lacks inherent hot-swap safety; requires external power sequencing for reliable live insertion | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs need for guaranteed power-ramp isolation |
| SN74AVC245 | Wider VCC range (1.2–3.6V); higher speed (tPD = 3.2 ns typ at 3.3V); no 5V tolerance - requires external clamping | Not suitable for direct 5V bus interfacing; limited to 3.3V-only systems with strict noise control | Select for ultra-low-voltage, high-speed point-to-point links where 5V tolerance is unnecessary |
Compared with 74LVC245A and SN74AVC245, the 74LCXZ245SJ uniquely combines 5V I/O tolerance, guaranteed power-down high-Z, and live-insertion capability in a single 20-pin SOP package - making it optimal for industrial backplane and hot-swap applications where bus integrity across power transitions is critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating voltage on the I/O pins of the 74LCXZ245SJ?
The 74LCXZ245SJ supports DC input/output voltages from 0V to 5.5V on all I/O pins (A0–A7, B0–B7), independent of VCC level. This 5V tolerance allows direct interfacing with 5V buses while operating from a 2.3–3.6V supply. Exceeding 5.5V on any I/O pin violates Absolute Maximum Ratings and risks permanent damage to the 74LCXZ245SJ.
Does the 74LCXZ245SJ enter high-impedance state automatically during power-up?
Yes - the 74LCXZ245SJ guarantees high-impedance outputs when VCC is between 0V and 1.5V, regardless of OE or T/R input states. This intrinsic power-rail tracking behavior prevents bus contention during power-up/down sequences and is a defining feature of the 74LCXZ245SJ not found in standard LVC or AVC variants.
Can the 74LCXZ245SJ be used for hot-swap applications without external circuitry?
Yes, the 74LCXZ245SJ supports live insertion/withdrawal when OE is tied to VCC through a pull-up resistor (minimum value determined by driver capability). Its guaranteed high-Z state below 1.5V VCC and 5V-tolerant I/Os eliminate the need for auxiliary power sequencing or bus isolation logic in compliant hot-swap designs using the 74LCXZ245SJ.
What is the output drive capability of the 74LCXZ245SJ at 2.7V VCC?
At VCC = 2.7V, the 74LCXZ245SJ delivers ±12 mA output current (IOL/IOH) per pin under specified conditions. This is confirmed in the Recommended Operating Conditions table and ensures reliable driving of standard TTL loads and multiple CMOS inputs even at the lower end of its supply range - a key specification distinguishing the 74LCXZ245SJ from narrower-range alternatives.
Is the 74LCXZ245SJ pin-compatible with other 20-pin transceivers like the 74LCX245?
No - the 74LCXZ245SJ is not pin-compatible with the non-Z variant 74LCX245. While both use 20-pin packages, the 74LCXZ245SJ replaces the GND pin at position 10 with an active OE input, altering the pin mapping. Always verify pin functions against the official 74LCXZ245SJ connection diagram - substituting the 74LCXZ245SJ into a 74LCX245 layout will cause functional failure.
