Product details
Overview
74LV245DB,118 from Nexperia is an octal 3-state bus transceiver with bidirectional data flow controlled by DIR and active-low OE pins, operating across 1.0 V to 5.5 V supply, supporting TTL-level inputs at VCC ≥ 2.7 V, and rated for -40 °C to +125 °C ambient. It enables voltage-level translation and bus isolation in microcontroller peripheral interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the 74LV245DB,118 datasheet, 74LV245DB,118 pinout, 74LV245DB,118 application, or 74LV245DB,118 equivalent, this device is selected for low-voltage bidirectional bus buffering where supply flexibility, output disable control, and industrial temperature range are critical design requirements.
Technical Context
The 74LV245DB,118 implements a dual-rail CMOS transceiver architecture with independent direction (DIR) and output enable (OE) control logic. Its 8-bit A- and B-side I/Os support bidirectional data transfer only when OE is LOW and DIR sets flow direction - A→B or B→A - with simultaneous high-impedance state on both sides when OE is HIGH.
Input clamp diodes allow safe interfacing to voltages exceeding VCC when current-limiting resistors are used. Static and dynamic performance is specified across three VCC ranges (1.0–2.0 V, 2.0–3.6 V, 4.5–5.5 V), with propagation delay as low as 7 ns at VCC = 3.3 V and CL = 15 pF.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 1.0 V to 5.5 V - supports mixed-voltage system interfacing and battery-powered operation down to 1.0 V logic. |
| Propagation Delay (tpd) | 7 ns typical at VCC = 3.3 V, CL = 15 pF - enables reliable timing in 100+ MHz bus systems with margin. |
| Output Enable Time (ten) | 10 ns typical at VCC = 3.3 V - ensures fast bus arbitration and rapid peripheral access switching. |
| IOZ (OFF-State Current) | < 10 μA at VCC = 5.5 V - minimizes leakage-induced signal corruption during tri-state hold. |
| Operating Temperature | -40 °C to +125 °C - qualified for under-hood automotive modules and industrial motor drives without derating. |
| ESD Protection | HBM > 2000 V, CDM > 1000 V - reduces need for external protection in board-level ESD-prone environments. |
| Power Dissipation Capacitance | CPD = 40 pF at VCC = 3.3 V - enables accurate dynamic power estimation for thermal budgeting. |
Pinout & Package
74LV245DB,118 is packaged in SOT339-1 (SSOP20), a 20-lead shrink small outline package with 0.65 mm lead pitch and 7.2 mm body width. Pin numbering follows standard SSOP convention with pin 1 marked by notch or dot.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | DIR | Direction control input: LOW enables A→B data flow; HIGH enables B→A flow. |
| 2–9 | A0–A7 | Port A bidirectional data lines - connect to microcontroller or ASIC local bus. |
| 10 | GND | Ground reference for all I/O and internal logic - must be low-inductance connection. |
| 11–18 | B0–B7 | Port B bidirectional data lines - interface to memory, peripheral, or external bus segment. |
| 19 | OE | Active-low output enable: HIGH forces all A/B outputs into high-impedance state. |
| 20 | VCC | Positive supply rail - decoupling capacitor (100 nF) required within 5 mm of this pin. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Wide VCC range (1.0–5.5 V) | Enables single transceiver to bridge 1.8 V FPGA I/O to 5 V legacy peripherals without level shifters. |
| TTL-compatible inputs at 2.7–3.6 V | Eliminates need for external pull-ups or translators when interfacing with 3.3 V microcontrollers. |
| Clamp diode-equipped inputs | Permits safe connection to 5 V signals using series resistors - avoids overvoltage damage at low VCC. |
| Low ground bounce (< 0.8 V) | Reduces noise coupling into shared ground planes during simultaneous 8-bit switching events. |
| Latch-up immunity > 100 mA | Ensures robustness against transient current faults in noisy industrial power environments. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal 3-state bus transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC245APWR | Wider VCC range (1.65–3.6 V); no 1.0 V operation; higher drive strength (24 mA vs 16 mA at 3.3 V). | Optimized for 3.3 V-only systems; lacks 1.0–2.0 V ultra-low-power capability. | Select when higher output current and tighter VOL spec (0.55 V max) are prioritized over sub-2 V operation. |
| 74ALVC245MTCX | Faster tpd (5.3 ns typ at 3.3 V); lower CPD (30 pF); operates only from 2.3–3.6 V. | Targeted at high-speed digital test equipment; not suitable for battery-backed 1.8 V logic. | Choose for >150 MHz bus clocking where propagation delay dominates timing budget. |
Compared with SN74LVC245APWR and 74ALVC245MTCX, the 74LV245DB,118 uniquely supports 1.0 V operation and industrial temperature range without sacrificing ESD robustness or ground bounce performance - making it optimal for energy-constrained, wide-supply embedded systems.

FAQ
What is the minimum VCC required for guaranteed operation of the 74LV245DB,118?
The 74LV245DB,118 is fully specified and functional down to VCC = 1.0 V, with static characteristics guaranteed from 1.2 V and dynamic operation verified at 1.0 V using GND/VCC input levels. This enables use in ultra-low-power battery-backed systems where supply drops below 1.2 V during brownout conditions.
Can the 74LV245DB,118 safely interface a 5 V signal to a 1.8 V microcontroller port?
Yes - its input clamp diodes permit direct connection of 5 V signals when series current-limiting resistors are used, and its TTL-compatible input thresholds (VIH ≥ 2.0 V at VCC = 2.7 V) ensure reliable recognition of 5 V logic HIGHs even when powered from 1.8 V, provided VI does not exceed VCC + 0.5 V.
Does the 74LV245DB,118 require external pull-up or pull-down resistors on DIR or OE?
No - DIR and OE have CMOS-compatible input structure with negligible leakage (<1 μA). However, OE must be actively driven LOW to enable outputs; leaving it floating risks undefined output states. A 10 kΩ pull-down on OE is recommended for fail-safe high-impedance default on power-up.
How does the 74LV245DB,118 handle simultaneous switching noise (SSN) in dense PCB layouts?
It specifies typical ground bounce < 0.8 V at VCC = 3.3 V and Tamb = 25 °C during full 8-bit switching, achieved via optimized output driver staging and internal ground routing. Layout best practices - including dedicated ground plane, localized 100 nF VCC decoupling, and minimized trace inductance - are essential to maintain this performance in production designs.
