Product details
Overview
74LCXZ245WM from Fairchild Semiconductor is a low-voltage, bidirectional 8-bit transceiver with 3-STATE outputs, designed for bus-oriented data transfer between 2.5V/3.3V domains and 5V signal environments. It features 5V-tolerant I/O, 7.0 ns max propagation delay at VCC = 3.3V, ±24 mA output drive at 3.0V, and power-down high-impedance protection during power-up/down - used in mixed-voltage motherboard interconnects and memory expansion interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the 74LCXZ245WM datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include bidirectional flow control via T/R, OE-gated 3-STATE operation, 5V tolerance without level shifters, and SOIC-20 packaging compatible with JEDEC MS-013 footprint.
Technical Context
The 74LCXZ245WM implements non-inverting bidirectional buffering with independent OE (output enable) and T/R (transmit/receive) control logic. Its CMOS architecture supports dual-supply interoperability: VCC operates at 2.3–3.6V while inputs and outputs tolerate 0–5.5V, enabling direct connection to legacy 5V buses without external clamping or translation.
During power transitions (VCC = 0–1.5V), all I/O pins enter a guaranteed high-impedance state, 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 | 2.3 V to 3.6 V - Enables stable operation in both 2.5V and 3.3V system rails |
| Propagation Delay | 7.0 ns max at VCC = 3.3V - Supports >100 MHz bus toggle rates in high-speed data paths |
| Output Drive | ±24 mA at VCC = 3.0V - Drives standard TTL loads and 50 Ω transmission lines without buffers |
| I/O Voltage Tolerance | 0 V to 5.5 V - Allows direct interfacing with 5V peripherals without level-shifting components |
| Power-Down Behavior | High-impedance I/O when VCC < 1.5V - Eliminates bus glitches during hot-swap or brown-out conditions |
| ESD Rating | HBM ≥ 2000 V - Provides robust handling margin for assembly and field service environments |
Pinout & Package
74LCXZ245WM is housed in a 20-lead Small Outline Integrated Circuit (SOIC) package per JEDEC MS-013, 0.300" wide, with 1.27 mm pitch and gull-wing leads. Thermal and mechanical dimensions comply with Fairchild Package Number M20B.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (OE) | Active-Low Output Enable | Disables both A and B ports simultaneously into high-impedance state when HIGH |
| 2 (A0) | Side A I/O Terminal | Bidirectional data terminal for Bus A; direction controlled by T/R input |
| 3 (A1) | Side A I/O Terminal | Same as A0 - part of 8-bit A-side interface with shared T/R control |
| 19 (B7) | Side B I/O Terminal | Most significant bit of B-side bus; electrically identical to B0–B6 |
| 20 (T/R) | Direction Control Input | LOW = B→A data flow; HIGH = A→B data flow; no internal pull-up/pull-down |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 5V-Tolerant I/O | Supports direct connection to 5V logic without external voltage translators or clamping diodes |
| Live Insertion Support | Guaranteed high-Z state during power-up/down prevents bus conflicts during hot-plug operations |
| Noise/EMI Reduction | Patented circuitry minimizes simultaneous switching noise on shared VCC/GND planes |
| Low ICC Quiescent Current | 225 µA max at VCC = 2.3–3.6V - reduces standby power in battery-backed systems |

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 VCC range (1.65–3.6V); no guaranteed 5V tolerance - requires external clamping for 5V I/O | Suitable only in fully 3.3V or lower systems; not drop-in for 5V bus interfacing | Select when full 5V tolerance is unnecessary and cost is primary constraint |
| SN74AVC245 | Wider VCC range (1.2–3.6V); supports 5V-tolerant I/O but with lower drive (±12 mA at 3.3V) | Better for ultra-low-voltage designs; less suitable for driving long traces or heavy loads | Prefer for portable/embedded systems where supply headroom is limited and load is light |
Compared with 74LCXZ245WM, 74LVC245A lacks guaranteed 5V I/O tolerance and requires external protection, while SN74AVC245 offers broader VCC flexibility but reduced drive strength - making 74LCXZ245WM optimal for robust 5V-bus interfacing at 2.5V/3.3V VCC with high-current drive needs.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for the 74LCXZ245WM?
The 74LCXZ245WM is rated for free-air operating temperatures from –40°C to +85°C. This range supports deployment in industrial control panels, telecom line cards, and embedded computing platforms exposed to ambient thermal variation. All DC and AC electrical specifications in the datasheet are guaranteed across this full temperature span, including propagation delay, output drive, and leakage current parameters.
Does the 74LCXZ245WM require external pull-up resistors on OE or T/R inputs?
The 74LCXZ245WM does not integrate internal pull-ups on OE or T/R; however, a pull-up resistor on OE is recommended during power-up to ensure predictable high-impedance startup. Per Fairchild Application Note AN-5003, a minimum 10 kΩ pull-up to VCC guarantees reliable power-on initialization. T/R may be driven directly from CMOS logic without biasing, as it has no default state.
Can the 74LCXZ245WM be used in place of the 74LCX245 without modification?
Yes - the 74LCXZ245WM replaces the 74LCX245 with enhanced functionality: identical pinout and logic behavior, plus added power-down high-impedance protection below 1.5V VCC. No PCB changes are required, and the Z-version improves system robustness during brown-out or hot-insertion events. Both share the same SOIC-20 (M20B) package and JEDEC MS-013 footprint.
What is the meaning of "Z" in the 74LCXZ245WM part number?
The "Z" in 74LCXZ245WM denotes the inclusion of zero-power-down (ZPD) functionality: when VCC drops below 1.5V, all I/O pins automatically enter a high-impedance state regardless of OE or T/R logic levels. This feature distinguishes it from the base 74LCX245 and prevents bus contention during power sequencing - a critical requirement in modular and hot-pluggable systems using the 74LCXZ245WM.
Is the 74LCXZ245WM RoHS compliant and lead-free?
Yes - the 74LCXZ245WM is Pb-Free and complies with JEDEC J-STD-020B reflow standards. Its SOIC package (M20B) uses matte tin lead finish and meets RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU requirements. Fairchild's original datasheet DS500362 explicitly states "Pb-Free package per JEDEC J-STD-020B", confirming full compliance for use in environmentally regulated electronics manufacturing.
