Product details
Overview
74LVC245AT20-13 from Diodes Incorporated is an octal bus transceiver with 3-state outputs, designed for bidirectional asynchronous data transfer between A and B buses in mixed-voltage systems. It operates from 1.65V to 3.6V, supports 5.5V-tolerant inputs, delivers ±24mA drive at VCC = 3.0V, and features IOFF partial power-down protection. Used in notebook I/O expansion and peripheral bus isolation.
For engineers reviewing the 74LVC245AT20-13 datasheet, 74LVC245AT20-13 pinout, 74LVC245AT20-13 application, or 74LVC245AT20-13 equivalent, key selection criteria include voltage translation capability (1.65V–3.6V core / 5.5V-tolerant inputs), 3-state bus isolation timing (tEN ≤ 8.5ns @ 3.3V), IOFF leakage (<±10μA), and TSSOP-20 thermal resistance (θJA = 74°C/W).
Technical Context
This device implements dual-directional 8-bit data flow controlled by DIR and OE pins: DIR = H enables A→B transmission; DIR = L enables B→A transmission; OE = H forces all outputs into high-impedance state. Schmitt-trigger inputs ensure noise immunity across voltage domains.
IOFF circuitry actively disables outputs during power-down, preventing back-current flow when VCC = 0V while inputs remain at 5.5V. Propagation delay (tPD) is 3.8ns typical at 3.3V, with output skew ≤1.5ns, supporting reliable timing in high-speed parallel bus interfaces.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 1.65V to 3.6V - Enables direct interface with 1.8V, 2.5V, and 3.3V logic domains without level shifters. |
| Input Voltage Tolerance | Up to 5.5V - Allows connection to legacy 5V peripherals while powered from lower VCC. |
| Output Drive Strength | ±24mA at VCC = 3.0V - Sufficient to drive 50Ω transmission lines or multiple CMOS loads on shared bus segments. |
| IOFF Leakage Current | ±10μA max at VCC = 0V - Prevents damaging backflow during hot-swap or partial power-down sequences. |
| Propagation Delay | 3.8ns typical (tPD) at 3.3V - Supports >100MHz bus toggle rates in synchronous control environments. |
| Enable/Disable Time | tEN = 4.4ns, tDIS = 4.1ns typical at 3.3V - Ensures fast bus arbitration and clean signal isolation during state transitions. |
| ESD Protection | 2kV HBM, 1kV CDM, 200V MM - Meets industrial-grade robustness requirements for board-level handling and operation. |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP-20 package: 6.4mm × 6.5mm × 1.2mm body, 0.65mm lead pitch, exposed pad not present. RoHS-compliant, halogen-free, green construction.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | DIR | Direction control input: HIGH routes A→B; LOW routes B→A. |
| 2–9 | 1A1–1A4, 2Y1–2Y4 | A-side inputs / B-side outputs - Grouped for compact PCB routing of 4-bit lanes. |
| 10 | GND | Ground reference for all I/O and internal logic - must be low-inductance connection. |
| 11–18 | 2A1–2A4, 1Y1–1Y4 | B-side inputs / A-side outputs - Complementary set enabling full bidirectional 8-bit path. |
| 19 | OE | Active-low output enable: LOW enables transceiver; HIGH places all outputs in high-Z state. |
| 20 | VCC | Core supply input - decoupling capacitor (100nF) required within 5mm of pin. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Mixed-voltage interoperability | 5.5V-tolerant inputs allow direct connection to 5V peripherals while operating at 1.8V/2.5V/3.3V VCC. |
| IOFF partial power-down | Outputs automatically disable with near-zero leakage (<±10μA) when VCC = 0V, protecting downstream circuits. |
| Schmitt-trigger inputs | Hysteresis ≥0.3V ensures reliable switching in noisy environments (e.g., shared PCB ground planes). |
| Low dynamic ground bounce | VOLP < 0.8V at VCC = 3.3V - minimizes noise coupling into adjacent signal traces during simultaneous switching. |
| High-speed bus timing | tPD = 3.8ns and tDIS = 4.1ns typical at 3.3V - supports sub-10ns setup/hold margins in 100+ MHz parallel interfaces. |

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage the 74LVC245AT20-13 can tolerate while powered at 1.65V?
The device accepts input voltages up to 5.5V regardless of VCC level, including at minimum 1.65V supply. This is verified per datasheet Section "Recommended Operating Conditions" (VI = 0 to 5.5V) and enables safe interfacing with 5V peripherals even when core logic runs at 1.8V.
Does the 74LVC245AT20-13 support hot-swap operation?
Yes - its IOFF feature actively disables outputs and limits leakage to ±10μA when VCC = 0V, preventing back-current flow during live insertion/removal. This behavior is characterized in the "Electrical Characteristics" table under IOFF parameter and confirmed in JESD78 latch-up testing (>250mA).
Can DIR and OE be tied together for simplified unidirectional control?
No - DIR controls data direction (A↔B), while OE independently enables/disables all outputs. Tying them eliminates bidirectional capability and risks undefined states during transitions. The function table explicitly requires independent control for correct operation.
What is the recommended PCB layout practice for minimizing ground bounce?
Place a 100nF ceramic decoupling capacitor between VCC and GND within 5mm of pins 20 and 10, use solid ground plane beneath the TSSOP-20 footprint, and route DIR/OE traces away from sensitive analog sections - all validated by measured VOLP < 0.8V at 3.3V per datasheet Figure 1 test conditions.
