Product details
Overview
74LVC245ABX,115 from Nexperia is an octal 3-state bus transceiver with bidirectional data flow controlled by DIR and active-low OE inputs. It operates from 1.2 V to 3.6 V, tolerates 5.5 V inputs, features Schmitt-trigger inputs for noise immunity, and includes IOFF circuitry for partial power-down protection. It enables level translation between 3.3 V and 5 V domains in embedded control buses.
For engineers reviewing the 74LVC245ABX,115 datasheet, 74LVC245ABX,115 pinout, 74LVC245ABX,115 application, or 74LVC245ABX,115 equivalent, key selection criteria include voltage translation capability (1.2–3.6 V supply with 5.5 V-tolerant inputs), propagation delay (≤8.0 ns at 3.3 V), bus hold functionality (in LVCH variant), thermal performance in DHXQFN20 package, and IOFF compliance for hot-swap and power-gating designs.
Technical Context
This device implements a dual-bus interface architecture where DIR selects data direction (A→B or B→A) and OE enables/disables all outputs simultaneously into high-impedance state. Its CMOS design ensures low static current (≤40 μA at 3.6 V) and supports mixed-voltage system interconnects without external level shifters.
Schmitt-trigger inputs provide hysteresis (typ. 0.3–0.5 V) to suppress noise on slow-rising signals, while the IOFF circuit actively disables outputs when VCC = 0 V, blocking backflow current up to ±20 μA - critical for PCIe add-in cards, hot-pluggable modules, and battery-backed subsystems.

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 | TSSOP20 package (4.4 mm width); no bus hold; identical electrical specs except IBHL/IBHH = 0 | Lacks bus hold - requires external pull-ups in floating-bus scenarios; better suited for space-constrained PCBs with full routing control | Select when footprint size is prioritized over input state retention during reset or sleep states |
| 74LVCH245ABQ | DHVQFN20 package (2.5 × 4.5 mm); includes bus hold on all data inputs (IBHL/IBHH specified); same IOFF and voltage specs | Bus hold eliminates need for external biasing on unused inputs - ideal for modular systems with configurable I/O pin mapping | Select when input state retention during power sequencing or partial wake-up is required |
Compared with SN74LVC245APWR, 74LVC245ABX,115 offers superior thermal performance (lower θJA) in ultra-thin form factor but lacks bus hold; versus 74LVCH245ABQ, it trades slightly larger thermal pad area for tighter 2.0 mm width - favoring ultra-dense portable instrumentation layouts.

FAQ
Can 74LVC245ABX,115 operate with VCC = 1.2 V while accepting 5 V inputs?
Yes. The device supports 1.2 V to 3.6 V supply range and features overvoltage-tolerant inputs rated to 5.5 V regardless of VCC level. This allows direct connection to 5 V TTL sources even when powered from a 1.2 V rail - verified per Table 5 and Table 6 in the datasheet under VI = 0–5.5 V conditions.
What is the function of the exposed thermal pad on the DHXQFN20 package?
The exposed pad (terminal 1 index area) is electrically connected to GND and must be soldered to a PCB thermal pad tied to the ground plane. Per SOT8020-1 mechanical drawing, this improves thermal dissipation (reducing θJA by ~35%) and enhances mechanical reliability - not optional for continuous 24 mA per pin operation at +125 °C.
How does IOFF protect the device during partial power-down?
When VCC = 0 V, the IOFF circuit disables all outputs and limits leakage current to ±20 μA maximum (Table 6), preventing reverse current flow from live B-side buses into the unpowered A-side domain. This avoids latch-up and damage in hot-swap or multi-rail power sequencing scenarios - confirmed by test condition "VI or VO = 5.5 V; VCC = 0.0 V".
Is bus hold functionality present in 74LVC245ABX,115?
No. Bus hold (IBHL/IBHH) is exclusive to the 74LVCH245A variant. The 74LVC245A family - including 74LVC245ABX,115 - omits this feature. Input pins default to high-impedance when undriven; external pull-up/down resistors are required to maintain defined logic states during reset or standby.
