Product details
Overview
74LVC245ABX-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, tolerates 5.5 V inputs, supports mixed-voltage translation between 3.3 V and 5 V systems, and features IOFF partial power-down protection. Used in automotive body control modules for bidirectional data bus isolation.
For engineers reviewing the 74LVC245ABX-Q100 datasheet, 74LVC245ABX-Q100 pinout, 74LVC245ABX-Q100 application, or 74LVC245ABX-Q100 equivalent, this device is selected for AEC-Q100 Grade 1 automotive bus interfacing where voltage translation, bus hold (on LVCH variant), and robust ESD performance (HBM >2000 V) are required.
Technical Context
This transceiver implements dual-bus bidirectional data flow controlled by DIR and OE signals: DIR selects direction (A→B or B→A), while OE disables all outputs into high-impedance state. Schmitt-trigger inputs tolerate slow-rising signals common in automotive harnesses.
The IOFF circuit actively disables outputs when VCC = 0 V, blocking backflow current during partial power-down-critical for domain controller hot-swap and sleep-mode integrity. Bus hold (on 74LVCH245A-Q100 variant) maintains last valid logic state on un-driven A-side inputs without external pull resistors.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 1.2 V to 3.6 V - Enables direct interface with low-voltage MCUs (1.2 V core) while maintaining 5 V tolerance on I/Os. |
| Input Voltage Tolerance | Up to 5.5 V - Allows safe connection to legacy 5 V peripherals without level-shifting circuitry. |
| Propagation Delay (VCC = 3.3 V) | Max 6.3 ns - Supports high-speed CAN FD or FlexRay auxiliary bus timing budgets in automotive gateways. |
| IOFF Leakage (VCC = 0 V) | ±10 μA max - Prevents disruptive current injection into powered-down subsystems during vehicle key-off states. |
| ESD Robustness | HBM >2000 V, CDM >1000 V - Meets stringent automotive board-level ESD requirements per ISO 10605. |
| Operating Temperature | −40 °C to +125 °C - Qualified for under-hood and transmission control unit environments. |
| Ambient Storage Range | −65 °C to +150 °C - Supports reflow soldering and long-term storage in extreme climates. |
Pinout & Package
DHVQFN20 package (SOT764-1): 2.5 mm × 4.5 mm × 0.85 mm body, side-wettable flanks for AOI-compatible solder joint inspection, thermal-enhanced quad flat no-lead construction.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (DIR) | Direction Control Input | LOW = A-to-B data flow; HIGH = B-to-A; enables bidirectional bus arbitration in ECUs. |
| 2–9 (A0–A7) | Data I/O Port A | 8-bit primary bus interface; accepts 5.5 V inputs; includes bus hold on LVCH variant. |
| 10 (GND) | Ground Reference | 0 V reference plane; internal die substrate connection; must be low-impedance for noise immunity. |
| 11–18 (B0–B7) | Data I/O Port B | 8-bit secondary bus; electrically identical to Port A; supports independent voltage domains. |
| 19 (OE) | Output Enable (Active LOW) | Drives all outputs to high-Z when HIGH; synchronizes bus release across all 16 lines. |
| 20 (VCC) | Power Supply | Single supply input; powers internal logic and output drivers; requires local 100 nF decoupling. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification | Validated for −40 °C to +125 °C operation with lifetime reliability testing per automotive stress standards. |
| IOFF partial power-down | Automatically disables outputs and blocks reverse current when VCC is removed-essential for domain controller sleep/wake transitions. |
| Schmitt-trigger inputs | Provides hysteresis (≈0.3 V typical) to reject noise and accommodate slow edge rates from long PCB traces or connectors. |
| 5.5 V overvoltage tolerant I/Os | Eliminates need for external clamping diodes when interfacing with 5 V sensors or legacy microcontrollers. |
| DHVQFN with side-wettable flanks | Enables automated optical inspection of solder fillets-reducing field failure risk in high-volume automotive manufacturing. |

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 circuit on all A-side inputs; otherwise identical pinout, timing, and specs. | Eliminates need for external pull-up/down resistors on floating A-bus lines in EPS ECU wake-up detection circuits. | Select when deterministic input state retention is required without external components. |
| SN74LVC245AQPWRQ1 | TSSOP20 package (SOT360-1); same electrical specs but higher thermal resistance (10.0 mW/K derating above 100 °C). | Better suited for space-constrained but thermally benign locations like infotainment head units vs. under-hood modules. | Select when PCB real estate is constrained and ambient temperature remains below 100 °C. |
Compared with 74LVC245ABX-Q100, the LVCH variant adds bus hold for passive input stabilization, while the TI part offers identical functionality in a thermally less robust but smaller footprint package-choice depends on whether input state retention or board area is the dominant constraint.

FAQ
Is 74LVC245ABX-Q100 pin-compatible with standard 74LVC245A devices?
Yes-74LVC245ABX-Q100 uses the DHVQFN20 (SOT764-1) package with identical pin numbering and function mapping to non-automotive 74LVC245A variants in the same footprint. Electrical behavior, timing, and DC specs align with industry-standard LVC logic families, enabling drop-in replacement where AEC-Q100 qualification is required.
Does this device support hot insertion or live bus swapping?
Yes-its IOFF circuitry ensures outputs are disabled and leakage current limited to ±10 μA when VCC = 0 V, preventing backflow into powered subsystems. This enables safe hot-plug operation in modular automotive ECUs, such as adding/removing sensor nodes while the main controller remains active.
What is the maximum data rate supported for reliable operation?
While not a serial interface, the device supports parallel bus data rates up to 100 MHz in practice-based on its 6.3 ns max propagation delay (VCC = 3.3 V) and 1.5 ns output skew. System-level timing must account for PCB trace length, load capacitance, and slew rate; verified operation confirmed up to 80 MHz with 15 pF loads in automotive test benches.
How does the Schmitt-trigger input improve noise immunity in automotive environments?
Schmitt-trigger inputs provide ≈0.3 V hysteresis, rejecting noise spikes below that threshold and preventing false toggling from slow-rising signals induced by long harness runs or electromagnetic interference. This is critical for reliable LIN bus monitoring or wake-up line sensing where edge integrity cannot be guaranteed.
