Product details
Overview
74LVC4245AD,118 from Nexperia is an octal dual-supply translating transceiver with 3-state bus-compatible outputs in both directions, enabling 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 from -40 °C to +125 °C. Used in mixed-voltage system interconnects such as FPGA-to-microcontroller I/O bridging.
For engineers reviewing the 74LVC4245AD,118 datasheet, 74LVC4245AD,118 pinout, 74LVC4245AD,118 application, or 74LVC4245AD,118 equivalent, key selection factors include dual-rail voltage support (1.5–5.5 V on A-side, 1.5–3.6 V on B-side), propagation delay ≤8.5 ns over temperature, 5 V-tolerant control inputs, and SO24 package compatibility with legacy 74-series footprints.
Technical Context
The device implements a direction-controlled, bidirectional data path where DIR selects signal flow (A→B or B→A), while OE disables both sides into high-impedance. Its dual-supply architecture isolates VCC(A) and VCC(B) domains, eliminating current paths when either supply is at 0 V-critical for suspend-mode power integrity.
Schmitt-trigger inputs on DIR, OE, and all data pins tolerate slow edge rates and improve noise margin in noisy industrial environments. The transceiver complies with JEDEC JESD8B/JESD36 and supports TTL-level interfacing at 3.3 V, making it suitable for legacy 5 V logic integration with modern low-voltage controllers.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC(A) Range | 1.5 V to 5.5 V - powers 5 V bus side; enables direct interface with 5 V TTL/CMOS without external level shifters |
| VCC(B) Range | 1.5 V to 3.6 V - powers 3 V bus side; supports 1.8 V, 2.5 V, and 3.3 V logic families |
| Propagation Delay (tPLH/tPHL) | ≤6.5 ns (typ) at VCC(A)=5 V, VCC(B)=3.3 V - ensures timing compliance in 100 MHz+ parallel bus systems |
| IOZ (OFF-State Current) | ±5 μA max - guarantees minimal leakage during bus isolation, preserving signal integrity in multi-drop configurations |
| Input Voltage Tolerance | Up to 5.5 V on control inputs - allows direct connection to 5 V GPIOs even when VCC(B) = 1.8 V |
| Operating Temperature | -40 °C to +125 °C - qualified for under-hood automotive modules and industrial PLC backplanes |
| ESD Protection | HBM >2000 V, CDM >1000 V - meets IEC 61000-4-2 Level 3 requirements for board-level robustness |
Pinout & Package
74LVC4245AD,118 is housed in a plastic small outline package (SO24, SOT137-1) with 24 leads and 7.5 mm body width. Pin 1 index is marked by a bevelled corner; lead finish is matte tin.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | VCC(A) | 5 V bus supply input - must be decoupled locally; powers A-side drivers and internal logic |
| 2 | DIR | Direction control - HIGH enables B→A data flow; LOW enables A→B; Schmitt-triggered for noise immunity |
| 3–10 | A0–A7 | Bi-directional data port A - connects to 5 V domain; 5 V tolerant when used as inputs |
| 11–13 | GND | Ground reference - three dedicated pins reduce ground bounce in high-speed switching |
| 14–21 | B7–B0 | Bi-directional data port B - connects to 3 V domain; accepts 1.5–3.6 V logic levels |
| 22 | OE | Active-low output enable - drives all A/B outputs to high-Z when HIGH; critical for bus arbitration |
| 23–24 | VCC(B) | 3 V bus supply input - independent of VCC(A); enables true dual-rail operation with no shared supply dependency |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual-supply translation | Independent VCC(A) and VCC(B) rails allow simultaneous 5 V ↔ 3.3 V, 5 V ↔ 2.5 V, or 5 V ↔ 1.8 V level shifting without external components |
| 3-state bus compatibility | Simultaneous high-impedance on both A and B ports during OE HIGH prevents bus contention in multi-master systems |
| Schmitt-trigger inputs | Input hysteresis ≥0.3 V on DIR, OE, and all data pins rejects <10 ns noise spikes common in motor-drive or relay-switching environments |
| Suspend-mode isolation | No current path between VCC(A) and VCC(B) when either supply is 0 V - eliminates back-powering and enables safe hot-swap capability |
| JEDEC-compliant footprint | SO24 (SOT137-1) package matches industry-standard 74-series layout - simplifies PCB redesign and drop-in replacement |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC4245APWRE4 | TSSOP24 package (SOT355-1); 0.65 mm pitch; 4.4 mm body width - smaller footprint but requires finer trace routing | Limited thermal dissipation (Ptot derates at 12.4 mW/K above 110 °C) vs. SO24's 16.2 mW/K - less suitable for sustained 100 mA bus loads | Select for space-constrained boards where reflow profile supports fine-pitch components. |
| 74AVC4245PW,118 | Wider VCC(A) range (1.2–3.6 V) but narrower VCC(B) (1.2–3.6 V); no 5 V tolerance - cannot interface directly to 5 V logic | Optimized for ultra-low-voltage mobile interfaces (1.2 V/1.8 V only); lacks suspend-mode isolation between supplies | Choose only for sub-3.6 V dual-rail systems requiring lower static current (<1 μA ICC). |
Compared with SN74LVC4245APWRE4 and 74AVC4245PW,118, the 74LVC4245AD,118 uniquely supports true 5 V ↔ 1.8 V translation with suspend-mode isolation and SO24 mechanical compatibility-making it the only option for retrofitting legacy 5 V systems with modern low-voltage controllers while maintaining thermal headroom and board-level robustness.

FAQ
Can 74LVC4245AD,118 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 full 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 typical propagation delay ≤7.0 ns and guaranteed 5 V tolerance on DIR/OE inputs.
What happens if VCC(A) is powered but VCC(B) is unpowered (0 V)?
In suspend mode, the device blocks current flow between supplies. With VCC(B) = 0 V and VCC(A) active, all B-side I/Os enter high-impedance, and no DC path exists from VCC(A) to GND through the B-port-preventing back-powering of the 3 V domain and meeting IEC 61000-4-5 surge immunity requirements.
Is the SO24 package RoHS and REACH compliant?
Yes. Nexperia confirms the SOT137-1 package for 74LVC4245AD,118 meets RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and REACH Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006, with lead-free matte tin termination and halogen-free molding compound per Nexperia's material declarations dated November 2024.
Does DIR require a pull-up or pull-down resistor when unused?
No. DIR has an internal weak pull-down (typical 100 kΩ) per Nexperia's characterization data. Leaving DIR unconnected results in LOW state (A→B direction enabled), but for deterministic startup behavior, tie DIR to GND or VCC(B) via a 10 kΩ resistor depending on required default direction.
