Product details
Overview
74LVC4245ADB,118 from Nexperia is an octal dual-supply translating transceiver with 3-state bus-compatible outputs in both directions, designed to interface 3 V and 5 V buses in mixed-voltage systems. It features independent VCCA (1.5–5.5 V) and VCCB (1.5–3.6 V) supplies, DIR-controlled bidirectional data flow, active-low OE for high-impedance isolation, and Schmitt-trigger inputs for noise immunity. Used in industrial control backplanes and legacy-to-modern MCU interconnects.
For engineers reviewing the 74LVC4245ADB,118 datasheet, 74LVC4245ADB,118 pinout, 74LVC4245ADB,118 application, or 74LVC4245ADB,118 equivalent, this device supports voltage translation between 3.3 V microcontrollers and 5 V peripherals while maintaining JEDEC JESD8B compliance, ±24 mA drive capability, and -40 °C to +125 °C operation - critical for embedded system interoperability and bus isolation design.
Technical Context
The 74LVC4245ADB,118 implements a dual-rail CMOS transceiver architecture with separate A-side (5 V bus) and B-side (3 V bus) supply domains. Direction control is managed via DIR input, while OE enables/disables all outputs simultaneously into high-impedance state. VCCA ≥ VCCB under normal operation ensures correct level-shifting behavior and prevents reverse current flow.
Schmitt-trigger inputs on all control and data pins tolerate slow edge rates and improve noise margin. In suspend mode (VCCA = 0 V), the device blocks current between supplies, eliminating leakage paths. The SO24 package (SOT137-1) provides 24-pin leaded plastic small outline construction with 7.5 mm body width and 1.27 mm pitch.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCCA Range | 1.5 V to 5.5 V - powers A-side I/O (5 V bus); supports TTL-level compatibility at 3.3 V |
| VCCB Range | 1.5 V to 3.6 V - powers B-side I/O (3 V bus); enables interfacing with modern low-voltage MCUs |
| Propagation Delay (An→Bn) | 1.0–6.3 ns @ VCCB = 3.3 V - ensures sub-7 ns timing for high-speed 3 V/5 V bus bridging |
| Output Drive Strength | ±24 mA @ VCC = 4.5 V - sufficient to drive standard 50 Ω transmission lines or multiple TTL loads |
| Input Hysteresis | Typ. 0.3 V - Schmitt-trigger action rejects noise on DIR, OE, and data lines in electrically noisy environments |
| Operating Temperature | -40 °C to +125 °C - qualified for extended industrial and automotive-adjacent applications |
| ESD Rating (HBM) | >2000 V - meets ANSI/ESDA/JEDEC JS-001 Class 2, enabling robust handling in manufacturing |
Pinout & Package
74LVC4245ADB,118 is packaged in SO24 (SOT137-1): plastic small outline, 24-lead, 7.5 mm body width, 1.27 mm pitch, with gull-wing leads. Pin 1 index located at top-left corner of package marking side.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | VCCA | Supply for A-side (5 V bus) I/O drivers and internal logic; must be ≥ VCCB during operation |
| 2 | DIR | Direction control input: HIGH enables B→A data flow; LOW enables A→B flow |
| 3–10 | A0–A7 | A-side bidirectional data terminals; connect to 5 V bus; tolerate up to 5.5 V inputs |
| 11–13 | GND | Common ground reference for both supply domains; three dedicated pins reduce ground bounce |
| 14–21 | B7–B0 | B-side bidirectional data terminals; connect to 3 V bus; referenced to VCCB |
| 22 | OE | Active-low output enable: LOW enables transceiver; HIGH forces all A/B outputs to high-impedance |
| 23–24 | VCCB | Supply for B-side (3 V bus) I/O drivers; dual VCCB pins improve power integrity |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual-supply translation | Enables seamless 3.3 V ↔ 5 V communication without external level shifters or resistors |
| 5 V-tolerant inputs/outputs | A-side pins accept 0–5.5 V signals regardless of VCCA setting - simplifies connection to legacy 5 V peripherals |
| Overvoltage-tolerant controls | DIR and OE withstand up to 5.5 V even when VCCA = 0 V - supports hot-swap and suspend-mode safety |
| High-impedance isolation | Outputs enter true 3-state mode with <±0.1 μA OFF-state current - prevents bus contention during reset or sleep |
| JEDEC-compliant operation | Meets JESD8B/JESD36 standards and JESD78 Class 1 latch-up immunity - certified for production-grade reliability |
Applications
| Industrial PLC Backplane Interface | Legacy Peripheral Interfacing |
|---|---|

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC4245APWRE4 | TSSOP24 package (SOT355-1); 4.4 mm body width; 0.65 mm pitch; slightly higher thermal resistance than SO24 | Better PCB space efficiency but lower power dissipation margin at full 24 mA load; requires tighter layout for thermal management | Select for compact designs where board area is constrained and ambient temperature remains ≤85 °C |

FAQ
Can 74LVC4245ADB,118 operate with VCCA = 3.3 V and VCCB = 1.8 V?
No. Per datasheet Section 8 (Recommended Operating Conditions), VCCA must be ≥ VCCB at all times during normal operation. With VCCB = 1.8 V, VCCA must be set to at least 1.8 V - but the LVC family's minimum VCCA is 1.5 V. However, the device is not characterized or guaranteed for VCCA = VCCB = 1.8 V; its specified dual-supply translation function requires VCCA ≥ VCCB and VCCA ≥ 3.0 V for reliable 5 V bus compatibility.
What happens if OE is left floating?
Leaving OE floating violates recommended operating conditions and risks undefined output states. The pin has no internal pull-up/down; floating OE may drift to intermediate voltage, causing partial turn-on of output drivers and excessive ICC or bus contention. Always tie OE to GND (active) or VCCA (inactive) via a 10 kΩ resistor or controlled logic signal.
Is DIR required to be driven actively, or can it be hardwired?
DIR can be hardwired to VCCA (for B→A mode) or GND (for A→B mode) depending on unidirectional data flow needs. No timing constraints apply when DIR is static. Hardwiring eliminates control logic overhead and reduces pin count on resource-constrained MCUs - confirmed by functional table (Table 3) and application note AN10699.
Does 74LVC4245ADB,118 support hot insertion when VCCA = 0 V?
Yes. When VCCA = 0 V, the device enters suspend mode: no current path exists between VCCA and VCCB, and all outputs remain in high-impedance state regardless of DIR/OE. This allows safe insertion into a live 3 V bus (VCCB powered) without damaging the 5 V domain - verified in Section 1 (General Description) and Table 4 (Limiting Values).
