Product details
Overview
74LV245APWJ from Nexperia is an octal 3-state bus transceiver with bidirectional data flow control via DIR pin and active-low output enable (OE). It operates from 2.0 V to 5.5 V, delivers 6.5 ns max propagation delay at 5 V, supports mixed-voltage translation between 2.3 V and 5.5 V domains, and features IOFF partial power-down protection. It is used in industrial backplane interfaces requiring level-shifting and bus isolation.
For engineers reviewing the 74LV245APWJ datasheet, 74LV245APWJ pinout, 74LV245APWJ application, or 74LV245APWJ equivalent, key selection criteria include its 20-pin TSSOP package, Schmitt-trigger inputs for noise immunity, ±0.25 μA OFF-state leakage, -40 °C to +125 °C operating range, and compatibility with 3.3 V/5 V mixed-signal systems.
Technical Context
The 74LV245APWJ implements dual-bank bidirectional data transfer with independent direction (DIR) and output-enable (OE) control signals. Its IOFF circuit actively disables outputs during power-down, preventing backflow current when VCC = 0 V.
Schmitt-trigger inputs provide hysteresis (typ. 0.4 V at 3.3 V), enabling robust operation with slow-rising signals. Static input thresholds scale with VCC (VIH = 0.7VCC, VIL = 0.3VCC), ensuring reliable logic recognition across the full 2.0–5.5 V supply range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply voltage | 2.0 V to 5.5 V - enables direct interface between 2.3 V, 3.3 V, and 5 V logic domains without external level shifters |
| Propagation delay (tpd) | 6.5 ns max at VCC = 5 V, CL = 50 pF - supports >100 MHz bus toggle rates in high-speed digital backplanes |
| IOFF leakage | 5 μA max at VCC = 0 V - prevents damaging current flow during hot-insertion or partial system power-down |
| Input hysteresis | Typ. 0.4 V at VCC = 3.3 V - rejects noise on slow-rising control lines (e.g., reset, enable) in noisy industrial environments |
| Operating temperature | -40 °C to +125 °C - qualified for under-hood automotive modules and industrial motor drives |
| ESD rating | HBM >3000 V, CDM >2000 V - withstands handling and board-level ESD events without latch-up or parametric shift |
| Output drive | ±8 mA at VCC = 3.0 V - drives standard CMOS loads (≤10 pF) across full temperature range with guaranteed VOL/VOH margins |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP20 (SOT360-1) package: 20-pin plastic thin shrink small outline, 4.4 mm body width, 0.65 mm pitch, 1.1 mm max height - compatible with standard SMT reflow profiles and automated optical inspection.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (DIR) | Direction control input | Drives internal bus switch matrix: LOW enables A→B flow; HIGH enables B→A flow |
| 2–9 (A0–A7) | Port A I/O terminals | 8-bit bidirectional data port with overvoltage-tolerant inputs (up to 7.0 V) |
| 10 (GND) | Ground reference | Primary return path for all I/O and supply currents; must be low-inductance connection |
| 11–18 (B0–B7) | Port B I/O terminals | 8-bit bidirectional data port with identical electrical specs to Port A |
| 19 (OE) | Output enable (active LOW) | Asserting LOW enables bidirectional data transfer; HIGH forces all A/B pins into high-Z state |
| 20 (VCC) | Power supply | Single-supply rail supporting 2.0–5.5 V; decoupling capacitor required within 5 mm |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Mixed-voltage translation | Ports A and B operate independently at different VCC-compatible voltages (e.g., A at 3.3 V, B at 5 V) without external components |
| Partial power-down (IOFF) | Outputs automatically enter high-Z when VCC = 0 V, eliminating backfeed risk during hot-swap or firmware reset sequences |
| Schmitt-trigger inputs | Input hysteresis ≥0.4 V ensures clean signal edge detection on noisy PCB traces or long cables |
| Overvoltage-tolerant inputs | Withstands up to 7.0 V on any input pin regardless of VCC - enables safe interfacing with legacy 5 V peripherals |
| Latch-up immunity | Exceeds 250 mA per JESD78 Class II - prevents destructive latch-up during transient overvoltage events |
Applications
| Industrial PLC Backplane | Automotive Body Control Module |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal bus transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC245APWR | Wider VCC range (1.65–3.6 V); no IOFF; 3.3 V only; 5.8 ns tpd at 3.3 V | Not suitable for mixed 5 V/3.3 V systems or partial power-down use cases | Select if operating exclusively in 3.3 V domain with tighter timing budget and no power sequencing constraints |
| 74ALVC245PW | Faster tpd (3.2 ns at 3.3 V); higher ICC (20 μA typical); no IOFF; -40 °C to +85 °C only | Lacks extended temperature and power-down capability required for automotive or industrial deployment | Choose only for commercial-grade, high-speed FPGA interconnect where ambient temperature stays below 85 °C |
Compared with SN74LVC245APWR and 74ALVC245PW, the 74LV245APWJ uniquely combines 2.0–5.5 V operation, IOFF protection, and -40 °C to +125 °C qualification - making it the sole option for robust mixed-voltage industrial and automotive bus isolation.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable input voltage on A/B pins when VCC = 0 V?
The 74LV245APWJ allows up to 7.0 V on any input pin (A0–A7, B0–B7, DIR, OE) regardless of VCC state, per Absolute Maximum Ratings Table 4. This overvoltage tolerance enables safe connection to live buses during power-up/down sequences without external clamping diodes.
Does the device support hot-swap operation with powered-down VCC?
Yes - the integrated IOFF circuit disables all outputs when VCC = 0 V, limiting OFF-state leakage to ≤5 μA. This prevents backflow current from live A/B buses into the unpowered IC, satisfying hot-swap requirements in modular industrial systems per JEDEC JESD78 Class II latch-up immunity.
How does Schmitt-trigger input action improve noise immunity?
Schmitt-trigger inputs provide ~0.4 V hysteresis at 3.3 V supply, meaning VIH ≈ 2.3 V and VIL ≈ 1.9 V. This window rejects noise spikes <0.4 V amplitude and tolerates slow rise/fall times up to 200 ns/V, making the device resilient to EMI in motor-drive or switching-power-supply environments.
Can OE and DIR be tied together for unidirectional operation?
No - OE and DIR serve independent functions: OE controls output enable/disable (active LOW), while DIR selects data direction (LOW = A→B, HIGH = B→A). Tying them violates functional table behavior and may cause undefined bus states. They must be driven separately from MCU GPIO or FPGA control logic.
