Product details
Overview
74LVC245ABQ-Q100 from Nexperia is an automotive-qualified octal bus transceiver with 3-state outputs, direction control (DIR), and active-low output enable (OE). It operates from 1.2 V to 3.6 V supply, tolerates 5.5 V inputs, supports mixed-voltage interfacing (3.3 V ↔ 5 V), and features IOFF partial power-down protection. Used in automotive infotainment data buses for bidirectional level translation between microcontroller peripherals and legacy 5 V subsystems.
For engineers reviewing the 74LVC245ABQ-Q100 datasheet, 74LVC245ABQ-Q100 pinout, 74LVC245ABQ-Q100 application, or 74LVC245ABQ-Q100 equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification, DHVQFN20 package with side-wettable flanks, 1.2–3.6 V VCC range, 5.5 V input overvoltage tolerance, and IOFF-enabled safe power sequencing in automotive ECUs.
Technical Context
This device implements a dual-bus, bidirectional 8-bit data path controlled by DIR and OE signals. Its CMOS architecture enables direct TTL-level interfacing and Schmitt-trigger inputs tolerate slow-rising signals common in automotive harnesses. The IOFF circuit actively disables outputs during power-down, blocking backflow current when VCC = 0 V.
It complies with JEDEC standards JESD8-7A (1.65–1.95 V), JESD8-5A (2.3–2.7 V), and JESD8-C/JESD36 (2.7–3.6 V), and meets AEC-Q100 Grade 1 requirements (−40 °C to +125 °C ambient). Bus hold functionality is present only on the 74LVCH245A variant-not on this 74LVC245A part-so no bus hold currents apply.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 1.2 V to 3.6 V - Enables operation across low-power MCU I/O domains and standard 3.3 V logic rails. |
| Input Voltage Max | 5.5 V - Allows safe connection to 5 V sources without level shifters in mixed-voltage systems. |
| Propagation Delay | 1.5 ns (min) to 8.0 ns (max) at VCC = 3.0–3.6 V - Supports high-speed bidirectional data transfer in CAN/FlexRay peripheral interfaces. |
| IOFF Leakage | ±10 μA max at VCC = 0 V - Prevents damaging back-current during hot-swap or partial power-down sequences in automotive modules. |
| ESD Rating | HBM >2000 V, CDM >1000 V - Meets automotive board-level ESD robustness requirements per ISO 10605. |
| Operating Temp | −40 °C to +125 °C - Qualified for under-hood and transmission-control module environments. |
| Package | DHVQFN20 (SOT764-1), 2.5 × 4.5 × 0.85 mm - Thermally enhanced, AOI-compatible package for high-reliability automotive PCB assembly. |
Pinout & Package
DHVQFN20 package (SOT764-1) with 20 terminals, side-wettable flanks for automated optical inspection, thermal pad exposed on underside (non-electrical, floating or GND-connected per design).
| 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 I/O pins - connect to local controller bus (e.g., MCU GPIO bank). |
| 10 | GND | Ground reference (0 V) - must be solidly connected to PCB ground plane for noise immunity. |
| 11–18 | B0–B7 | Port B bidirectional I/O pins - interface to external 5 V subsystem (e.g., sensor cluster or display driver). |
| 19 | OE | Active-low output enable: LOW enables transceiver; HIGH forces all A/B pins into high-impedance state. |
| 20 | VCC | Supply voltage input (1.2–3.6 V) - requires local 100 nF ceramic decoupling adjacent to pin. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Automotive Qualification | AEC-Q100 Grade 1 certified - validated for −40 °C to +125 °C operation in safety-critical vehicle systems. |
| Mixed-Voltage Translation | 5.5 V tolerant inputs/outputs with 1.2–3.6 V VCC - eliminates need for external level shifters between 3.3 V MCUs and 5 V legacy peripherals. |
| IOFF Partial Power-Down | Outputs disabled and leakage limited to ±10 μA when VCC = 0 V - prevents backfeed damage during system sleep or brown-out conditions. |
| Schmitt-Trigger Inputs | Hysteresis ≥0.3 V typical - rejects noise and accommodates slow edge rates from long cables or unbuffered sensors in automotive harnesses. |
| DHVQFN Thermal Performance | RθJA ≈ 78 °C/W (typical) - supports sustained 24 mA drive capability without derating in compact ECU layouts. |
Applications
| Automotive Infotainment Data Bridge | ADAS Camera Interface Buffer |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal bus transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 74LVCH245ABQ-Q100 | Includes bus hold on all A-port inputs (75 μA hold current); identical pinout and electrical specs otherwise. | Eliminates need for external pull-ups on floating A-side inputs in systems with intermittent connectivity (e.g., detachable displays). | Select when input stability during cable disconnect or power sequencing is critical; otherwise, 74LVC245ABQ-Q100 offers lower static current. |
| SN74LVC245AQPWRQ1 | TSSOP20 package (SOT360-1); same AEC-Q100 Grade 1 rating; slightly higher RθJA (95 °C/W). | Better suited for manual rework or prototyping due to gull-wing leads; less optimal for high-density automated AOI assembly. | Choose for lab validation or low-volume builds where solder joint inspection is less critical than component handling ease. |
Compared with 74LVCH245ABQ-Q100, the base 74LVC245ABQ-Q100 saves ~2 μA static current per input but lacks bus hold; versus SN74LVC245AQPWRQ1, it delivers superior thermal performance and AOI compatibility essential for high-volume automotive production.

FAQ
Is the 74LVC245ABQ-Q100 pin-compatible with the 74LVCH245ABQ-Q100?
Yes - both share identical DHVQFN20 (SOT764-1) pinout, electrical ratings, and timing specifications. The only functional difference is that the 'H' variant adds bus hold circuitry on A-port inputs; the base 74LVC245ABQ-Q100 omits this feature, reducing static current draw by ~150 μA total. No layout change is needed for substitution.
Can this transceiver safely interface a 3.3 V microcontroller with a 5 V EEPROM using I²C?
No - this is an octal bus transceiver optimized for parallel data paths (not open-drain protocols). For I²C level shifting, use dedicated bidirectional I²C translators like the NX3P2212 or PCA9306. Attempting to use 74LVC245ABQ-Q100 on I²C lines risks bus contention and violates protocol timing due to lack of slew-rate control and weak pull-up compatibility.
What is the maximum continuous output current per pin, and how is it validated?
The absolute maximum DC output current per pin is ±24 mA (per Table 6, VOH/VOL test conditions), validated at VCC = 3.0 V with guaranteed VOL ≤ 0.55 V and VOH ≥ 2.2 V. This rating applies only when all outputs switch simultaneously under worst-case thermal conditions (Tamb = +125 °C); derating is required for sustained multi-pin loading per the DHVQFN20 power dissipation curve (12.9 mW/K above 111 °C).
Does the DHVQFN20 package require solder paste stencil adjustments for side-wettable flanks?
Yes - the SOT764-1 package uses a 0.2 mm-thick thermal pad with 0.1 mm-wide side-wettable flank extensions. Recommended stencil aperture for the thermal pad is 80 % area ratio (e.g., 2.3 × 4.3 mm opening), with 0.15 mm thickness and 50 % step-down for flank pads. Reflow profile must include 60 s above 220 °C to ensure complete wetting of flank surfaces for AOI detection.
