Product details
Overview
74LVC4245AD,112 from Nexperia is an octal dual-supply translating transceiver with 3-state bus-compatible outputs in both directions, designed for bidirectional level translation between 3 V (VCC(B)) and 5 V (VCC(A)) buses. It features independent DIR and active-low OE controls, Schmitt-trigger inputs for noise immunity, and operates across -40 °C to +125 °C. Used in mixed-voltage microcontroller I/O expansion, FPGA-to-ASIC interface, and legacy 5 V peripheral bridging into 3.3 V systems.
For engineers reviewing the 74LVC4245AD,112 datasheet, 74LVC4245AD,112 pinout, 74LVC4245AD,112 application, or 74LVC4245AD,112 equivalent, key selection criteria include dual-rail voltage support (1.5–5.5 V on VCC(A), 1.5–3.6 V on VCC(B)), propagation delay ≤8.5 ns (Bn→An at 3.6 V), 3-state isolation during suspend mode, and JEDEC JESD8B/JESD36 compliance for system-level interoperability.
Technical Context
This transceiver implements true bidirectional voltage translation using separate supply domains: VCC(A) powers the A-side (5 V bus) I/Os and control inputs, while VCC(B) powers the B-side (3 V bus) data terminals. Direction control is synchronous-DIR determines signal flow (A→B or B→A) only when OE is low; OE overrides DIR to force high-impedance on all outputs regardless of direction state.
Schmitt-trigger inputs on DIR, OE, and all data pins provide hysteresis (typ. 0.5 V) to tolerate slow edges and reduce noise-induced switching. The device guarantees no current path between VCC(A) and VCC(B) when either supply is at 0 V, enabling safe hot-insertion and partial-power-down operation in multi-rail systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC(A) Range | 1.5 V to 5.5 V - supports direct connection to 5 V TTL/CMOS logic and backward compatibility with 3.3 V systems. |
| VCC(B) Range | 1.5 V to 3.6 V - enables interfacing with modern low-voltage microcontrollers, FPGAs, and memory interfaces. |
| tPHL / tPLH (Bn→An) | 1.0–8.0 ns - ensures sub-10 ns latency for real-time bus arbitration and synchronous data handshaking. |
| VIH/VIL (Control Inputs) | 0–5.5 V input tolerance - allows 5 V logic signals to drive DIR/OE even when VCC(B) = 3.3 V or lower. |
| IOZ (Off-State Current) | ±5 μA max - guarantees minimal leakage during 3-state isolation, critical for low-power standby modes. |
| Operating Temp | -40 °C to +125 °C - qualified for industrial and extended-temperature embedded applications without derating. |
| ESD Rating | HBM >2000 V, CDM >1000 V - meets robustness requirements for board-level handling and in-system reliability. |
Pinout & Package
74LVC4245AD,112 is supplied in SO24 (SOT137-1) package: plastic small outline, 24-pin, 7.5 mm body width, standard gull-wing lead form. Pin 1 index located at top-left corner with notch marking.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | VCC(A) | Supply for A-side (5 V bus) I/Os and control inputs; must be ≥ VCC(B) except in suspend mode. |
| 2 | DIR | Direction control: LOW = A→B, HIGH = B→A; Schmitt-triggered for noise immunity on slow edges. |
| 3–10 | A0–A7 | Bidirectional data terminals for 5 V bus; function as inputs or outputs depending on DIR and OE state. |
| 11–13 | GND | Common ground reference for both supply domains; three pins minimize ground bounce in high-speed switching. |
| 14–21 | B7–B0 | Bidirectional data terminals for 3 V bus; mirrored pin order (B7=pin14, B0=pin21) per logic diagram. |
| 22 | OE | Active-low output enable: HIGH forces all A/B outputs into high-impedance, overriding DIR state. |
| 23–24 | VCC(B) | Supply for B-side (3 V bus) data I/Os; dual VCC(B) pins reduce IR drop and improve power integrity. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual-supply translation | Independent VCC(A) and VCC(B) rails allow simultaneous 5 V ↔ 3.3 V bidirectional data transfer without external level shifters. |
| 3-state bus isolation | OE-controlled high-impedance on all A/B ports enables multi-drop bus sharing and prevents contention during reset or sleep. |
| Schmitt-trigger inputs | ≥0.5 V hysteresis on DIR, OE, and all data pins rejects noise and accommodates slow-rise clock or control signals. |
| Suspend-mode safety | No current path between VCC(A) and VCC(B) when either supply is 0 V - eliminates backfeed risk during hot-swap or partial power loss. |
| JEDEC-compliant I/O | Meets JESD8B/JESD36 for 5 V tolerant inputs and TTL-compatible thresholds at 3.3 V, ensuring interoperability with legacy logic families. |
Applications
| Microcontroller I/O Expansion | FPGA-to-ASIC Interface |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Expanding GPIO count of a 3.3 V ARM Cortex-M MCU to drive legacy 5 V peripherals (e.g., displays, sensors, EEPROMs). IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Translates MCU's 3.3 V outputs to 5 V levels for peripheral writes and buffers 5 V status reads back to MCU inputs.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC4245APW | TSSOP24 package (4.4 mm width); identical electrical specs and pinout mapping but thinner profile and finer pitch. | Better suited for space-constrained PCBs where SO24 footprint is prohibitive; thermal resistance higher than SO24. | Select when board area is limited and reflow profile supports 0.65 mm pitch; verify solder mask clearance for exposed pad variants. |
| 74AVC4245BQ | DHVQFN24 package; supports wider VCC(A) range (1.2–3.6 V) but lacks 5 V tolerance on control inputs. | Optimized for ultra-low-voltage systems (1.2 V core logic); not suitable for direct 5 V bus interfacing without external clamping. | Choose only for sub-1.8 V designs requiring minimal height; avoid if interfacing with 5 V peripherals or legacy TTL. |
Compared with SN74LVC4245APW and 74AVC4245BQ, the 74LVC4245AD,112 offers the broadest voltage interoperability (5 V-tolerant controls + 1.5–5.5 V VCC(A)), mechanical robustness of SO24, and lowest thermal resistance among the three-making it optimal for industrial temperature cycling and long-term reliability-critical deployments.

FAQ
Can 74LVC4245AD,112 operate with VCC(A) = 3.3 V and VCC(B) = 1.8 V?
Yes. Per Table 5, VCC(A) supports 1.5–5.5 V and VCC(B) supports 1.5–3.6 V, with VCC(A) ≥ VCC(B) required for normal operation. At VCC(A) = 3.3 V and VCC(B) = 1.8 V, the device functions as a 3.3 V ↔ 1.8 V translator with VIH/VIL thresholds scaled accordingly (e.g., VIH ≈ 2.0 V min on control inputs). Propagation delay increases slightly versus 5 V/3.3 V operation but remains within spec.
What happens if DIR is floating while OE is low?
DIR has Schmitt-trigger inputs with defined hysteresis but no internal pull-up/down. A floating DIR causes undefined direction state, potentially resulting in bus contention if A and B sides drive opposing logic levels simultaneously. Nexperia recommends tying DIR to a controlled logic source or using external 10 kΩ pull-up/down resistor to ensure deterministic A→B or B→A flow.
Is the SO24 package (SOT137-1) RoHS compliant and lead-free?
Yes. The 74LVC4245AD,112 in SO24 packaging conforms to RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and is lead-free, with matte tin (Sn) termination finish. The device meets JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level MSL3 (floor life 168 hours at ≤30 °C/60% RH) and is compatible with standard Pb-free reflow profiles (peak 260 °C).
How does suspend mode behave when VCC(A) = 0 V and VCC(B) = 3.3 V?
In suspend mode (VCC(A) = 0 V), all A-side I/Os and control inputs enter high-impedance, and no current flows between VCC(B) and the A-side pins-even if B-side signals are driven. The B-side remains fully functional: B0–B7 retain their 3.3 V logic levels, DIR and OE inputs remain active (with VCC(B)-referenced thresholds), and data can flow B→A if OE is low and DIR is asserted-but A-side outputs remain inactive until VCC(A) is restored.
