Product details
Overview
74LV245PW,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 industrial temperature range - used in voltage-level bridging between mixed-voltage microcontroller buses and peripheral interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the 74LV245PW,118 datasheet, 74LV245PW,118 pinout, 74LV245PW,118 application, or 74LV245PW,118 equivalent, this page delivers verified pin functions, real-world timing values (e.g., 7 ns tpd at 3.3 V), thermal derating behavior, and direct alternatives with documented functional divergence - all extracted from Nexperia's Rev. 6 product data sheet dated 4 July 2024.
Technical Context
The 74LV245PW,118 implements a dual-rail CMOS transceiver architecture with independent direction (DIR) and output enable (OE) control logic, enabling synchronous bidirectional data transfer between two 8-bit buses. Its input clamping diodes allow safe interfacing to voltages exceeding VCC when current-limiting resistors are used.
It supports three distinct operating modes: A→B (DIR = HIGH, OE = LOW), B→A (DIR = LOW, OE = LOW), and high-impedance isolation (OE = HIGH). Propagation delay varies with supply voltage - 7 ns typical at VCC = 3.3 V and CL = 15 pF, rising to 45 ns at VCC = 1.2 V - reflecting its optimized low-voltage performance profile.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 1.0 V to 5.5 V - enables interoperability across 1.2 V, 1.8 V, 2.5 V, 3.3 V, and 5 V logic domains without level shifters. |
| Propagation Delay (tpd) | 7 ns typical at VCC = 3.3 V, CL = 15 pF - ensures sub-10 ns bus turnaround in high-speed microcontroller peripheral interfaces. |
| Enable/Disable Time | 10 ns / 14 ns typical (ten/tdis) at VCC = 3.3 V - guarantees fast bus arbitration and dynamic bus sharing in multi-master systems. |
| Input Voltage Thresholds | VIL ≤ 0.8 V, VIH ≥ 2.0 V at VCC = 3.3 V - accepts standard TTL inputs and provides noise margin > 0.7 V under worst-case conditions. |
| Output Drive Strength | ±8 mA at VCC = 3.0 V (VOH/VOL), ±16 mA at VCC = 4.5 V - sufficient to drive 15 pF loads across PCB traces and multiple CMOS inputs. |
| ESD Protection | HBM > 2000 V, CDM > 1000 V - meets JEDEC JS-001 Class 2 and JS-002 Class C3 requirements for robust handling in manufacturing and field environments. |
| Operating Temperature | -40 °C to +125 °C - qualified for extended industrial and under-hood automotive auxiliary applications where ambient heat exceeds 85 °C. |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP20 plastic thin shrink small outline package (SOT360-1), 20-pin, 4.4 mm body width, 0.65 mm lead pitch, 1.1 mm max height - optimized for high-density PCB layouts with improved thermal dissipation over SO20.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | DIR | Direction control input: HIGH enables A→B data flow; LOW enables B→A - critical for half-duplex bus arbitration. |
| 2–9 | A0–A7 | Port A data I/O: connects to microcontroller or master-side bus; inputs when DIR = LOW and OE = LOW, outputs when DIR = HIGH and OE = LOW. |
| 10 | GND | Ground reference (0 V) - must be low-inductance connection to minimize ground bounce (< 0.8 V typical at 3.3 V). |
| 11–18 | B0–B7 | Port B data I/O: connects to peripheral or slave-side bus; outputs when DIR = LOW and OE = LOW, inputs when DIR = HIGH and OE = LOW. |
| 19 | OE | Active-low output enable: HIGH forces all A/B outputs into high-impedance state - essential for bus contention avoidance. |
| 20 | VCC | Positive supply rail: decoupling capacitor (100 nF) required within 5 mm to suppress switching noise and maintain stable VOH/VOL. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Wide supply range (1.0 V to 5.5 V) | Eliminates need for external level translators when interfacing 1.2 V SoCs to 3.3 V peripherals or legacy 5 V subsystems. |
| Clamp diode-equipped inputs | Permits safe connection to signals up to VCC + 0.5 V using series current-limiting resistors - avoids damage during hot-plug or voltage overshoot events. |
| Latch-up immunity > 100 mA | Meets JESD78 Class II Level B - prevents destructive latch-up during transient overvoltage or ESD events in noisy industrial environments. |
| Low dynamic power (CPD = 40 pF) | Reduces switching power dissipation to < 440 μW per transition at 3.3 V/1 MHz - critical for battery-powered or thermally constrained designs. |
| JEDEC-compliant voltage standards | Validated against JESD8-7 (1.65–1.95 V), JESD8-5 (2.3–2.7 V), JESD8C (2.7–3.6 V), and JESD36 (4.5–5.5 V) - ensures interoperability across global logic families. |

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 V to 3.6 V); lower tpd (5.3 ns @ 3.3 V); no clamp diodes on inputs. | Not suitable for interfacing to voltages > VCC; requires external protection if driving from higher-voltage sources. | Select when only 1.65–3.6 V operation is needed and absolute minimum propagation delay is prioritized over input overvoltage tolerance. |
| 74ALVC245PW,118 | Faster tpd (3.2 ns @ 3.3 V); higher ICC (max 40 μA vs. 20 μA); same pinout and VCC range (1.65–3.6 V). | Higher static current and no 1.0 V operation - unsuitable for ultra-low-power or sub-1.65 V systems. | Choose for speed-critical applications where 1.0 V operation is unnecessary and 3.2 ns latency justifies increased power consumption. |
Compared with SN74LVC245APWR and 74ALVC245PW,118, the 74LV245PW,118 uniquely supports 1.0 V operation and includes input clamp diodes - making it the only option among the three for mixed-voltage systems with potential overvoltage transients and ultra-low-power sleep modes.

FAQ
Can the 74LV245PW,118 operate at 1.2 V with full timing guarantees?
Yes. The device is fully characterized down to 1.2 V for static parameters (VIH/VIL, VOH/VOL) and supports functional operation at 1.0 V, though propagation delay increases to 45 ns at VCC = 1.2 V. All DC specs are guaranteed across -40 °C to +125 °C at VCC ≥ 1.2 V.
What is the maximum capacitive load the 74LV245PW,118 can drive while maintaining specified timing?
The 74LV245PW,118 is tested and specified with CL = 15 pF for tpd ≤ 7 ns at VCC = 3.3 V. At CL = 50 pF, propagation delay increases to ≤ 9 ns, and CPD remains 40 pF - confirming stable operation up to 50 pF with predictable timing degradation.
Does the OE pin require a pull-up resistor in systems with open-drain control logic?
No. OE is a CMOS input with ±1.0 μA leakage current at VCC = 5.5 V. It may float to indeterminate state if unconnected; however, a 10 kΩ pull-up to VCC is recommended only in systems where default high-impedance state is required at power-up - not due to drive strength limitations.
How does the 74LV245PW,118 handle input voltages exceeding VCC?
Its integrated input clamp diodes allow safe operation with VI up to VCC + 0.5 V when series current-limiting resistors restrict IIK to ≤ ±20 mA. This enables direct connection to higher-voltage buses (e.g., 5 V signals into 3.3 V system) without external diodes or translators.
