Product details
Overview
74LVC4245ABQ-Q100 from Nexperia is an automotive-grade octal dual-supply translating transceiver with 3-state bus-compatible outputs in both directions, enabling bidirectional level translation between 3 V (VCC(B): 1.5–3.6 V) and 5 V (VCC(A): 1.5–5.5 V) buses. It features independent DIR and active-low OE controls, Schmitt-trigger inputs for noise immunity, and AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification (−40 °C to +125 °C). It is used in automotive infotainment backplane interfaces where mixed-voltage subsystems require isolated, direction-controlled data exchange.
For engineers reviewing the 74LVC4245ABQ-Q100 datasheet, 74LVC4245ABQ-Q100 pinout, 74LVC4245ABQ-Q100 application, or 74LVC4245ABQ-Q100 equivalent, key selection considerations include dual-supply voltage tolerance (5 V-tolerant I/O), propagation delay consistency across temperature (1.0–8.5 ns), 3-state isolation timing (tPZL/tPHZ ≤ 11.5 ns), and DHVQFN24 package suitability for AOI-enabled automotive PCB assembly.
Technical Context
This transceiver implements a true bidirectional, direction-controlled bus interface with separate VCC(A) and VCC(B) rails-enabling simultaneous operation of 5 V logic on port A and 3 V logic on port B. Its DIR input selects data flow direction (A→B or B→A), while active-low OE forces all outputs into high-impedance state regardless of DIR or supply status.
Schmitt-trigger inputs provide hysteresis (typ. 0.3–0.5 V) to tolerate slow-rising signals common in automotive harnesses; suspend-mode behavior ensures zero current path when either supply drops to 0 V, satisfying ISO 16750-2 load-dump and battery-disconnect requirements. VCCA ≥ VCCB is enforced except during suspend mode.
Key Specifications

| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (GND) | Ground reference | Primary ground return for VCC(B) domain; not electrically connected to thermal pad unless explicitly tied to GND |

| 22 (DIR) | Direction control | Defines data flow: DIR = LOW → A→B; DIR = HIGH → B→A; Schmitt-trigger input rejects noise on routing traces |
| 23–24 (VCC(B)) | 3 V bus supply | Dual VCC(B) pins reduce IR drop and improve PSRR for noise-sensitive 3 V subsystems (e.g., sensors) |
| 12 (VCC(A)) | 5 V bus supply | Single VCC(A) pin optimized for compact layout; supports up to 5.5 V for robustness against load dump transients |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-supply translating transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74AVC4T245QPWRQ1 | 4-bit (not octal); lower drive strength (24 mA vs 32 mA); identical AEC-Q100 Grade 1 rating | Suitable for space-constrained modules with ≤4 signal lines; insufficient for full 8-bit data buses | Select when board area is primary constraint and channel count ≤4; verify tPHL remains <9 ns at VCC(B) = 2.7 V |
| TXB0308PWR | Auto-direction sensing (no DIR pin); higher ICC (100 μA typical vs 5 μA); non-AEC-Q100 rated | Applicable only in non-automotive industrial systems; lacks suspend-mode zero-current guarantee | Not recommended for automotive use; avoid where DIR-controlled deterministic direction or AEC-Q100 compliance is required |
Compared with SN74AVC4T245QPWRQ1 and TXB0308PWR, the 74LVC4245ABQ-Q100 uniquely delivers octal width, AEC-Q100 Grade 1 assurance, and explicit DIR control-making it the only option qualified for safety-critical 8-bit automotive data bridges requiring deterministic directionality and zero-current suspend behavior.

FAQ
Can 74LVC4245ABQ-Q100 operate with VCC(A) = 3.3 V and VCC(B) = 2.5 V?
No. The datasheet mandates VCC(A) ≥ VCC(B) at all times except suspend mode. With VCC(A) = 3.3 V and VCC(B) = 2.5 V, the condition is satisfied-but operation must remain within Fig. 3's defined supply operation area. At those voltages, propagation delay increases to ≤10 ns and output drive degrades; verify VOH/VOL margins meet your receiver's VIH/VIL at worst-case temperature.
What happens if OE is held HIGH while DIR toggles?
When OE is HIGH (active LOW logic), all A and B port outputs enter high-impedance state regardless of DIR state or data activity. DIR transitions have no effect on output drivers-only on internal signal routing readiness. This enables safe bus arbitration: OE asserts isolation before DIR changes direction, preventing bus contention.
Is the thermal pad (pin 12) required to be soldered to GND?
No. Per datasheet note, the exposed thermal pad (terminal 12) has no electrical or mechanical requirement to be soldered. If soldered, it must remain floating or connect to GND-never to VCC or signal nets. Its primary function is thermal conduction, not grounding; improper connection risks short circuits or thermal stress fractures.
Does 74LVC4245ABQ-Q100 support hot insertion between live 3 V and 5 V buses?
Yes-within limits. Its I/O pins are 5 V tolerant and feature overvoltage-tolerant control inputs (OE/DIR up to 5.5 V). However, hot insertion requires controlled supply ramping: VCC(A) and VCC(B) must be established before applying signals. Simultaneous live insertion of both buses may exceed limiting values (e.g., VI > VCC + 0.5 V), risking latch-up per JESD78 Class 1 compliance boundary.
