Product details
Overview
74LVC4245APW,118 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 and legacy 5 V peripheral interfacing.
For engineers reviewing the 74LVC4245APW,118 datasheet, 74LVC4245APW,118 pinout, 74LVC4245APW,118 application, or 74LVC4245APW,118 equivalent, key selection considerations include VCC(A)/VCC(B) supply independence, propagation delay ≤8.5 ns (B→A at 3.6 V), 5 V-tolerant control inputs up to 5.5 V, and TSSOP24 thermal performance with 12.4 mW/K derating above 110 °C.
Technical Context
This device implements a dual-rail CMOS transceiver architecture with separate VCC(A) (1.5–5.5 V) and VCC(B) (1.5–3.6 V) supplies, enforcing VCC(A) ≥ VCC(B) during normal operation. Direction control is synchronous and edge-independent: DIR determines data flow (A↔B), while OE enables/disables all outputs simultaneously into high-impedance state.
Schmitt-trigger inputs on DIR, OE, and all data pins provide hysteresis (typ. 0.3–0.5 V) to tolerate slow-rising signals and reduce noise-induced switching. In suspend mode (either VCC = 0 V), internal isolation blocks current flow between supplies, eliminating cross-rail leakage.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC(A) Range | 1.5 V to 5.5 V - powers A-side (5 V bus) I/O; supports TTL-level compatibility at 3.3 V and full 5 V logic swing |
| VCC(B) Range | 1.5 V to 3.6 V - powers B-side (3 V bus) I/O; enables interface with 2.5 V/3.3 V microcontrollers and FPGAs |
| tPHL / tPLH (B→A) | 1.0–8.0 ns - ensures sub-8.5 ns worst-case propagation from 3 V bus to 5 V bus, critical for high-speed address/data handshaking |
| IOZ (OFF-state current) | ±5 μA max at 125 °C - guarantees robust bus isolation during 3-state hold, minimizing standby power and crosstalk |
| VIH/VIL (control inputs) | 0–5.5 V input tolerance - allows direct connection of 5 V control signals (DIR, OE) without external resistors or translators |
| ESD Rating (HBM) | >2000 V - meets JEDEC JS-001 Class 2, enabling reliable handling in non-ESD-controlled assembly environments |
| Operating Temp | -40 °C to +125 °C - qualified for industrial and extended-temperature embedded systems, including motor control and power management |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP24 package (SOT355-1): plastic thin shrink small outline, 24 leads, 4.4 mm body width, 0.65 mm pitch, exposed pad not electrically connected.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | VCC(A) | 5 V bus supply rail - must be ≥ VCC(B); powers A-side drivers and internal logic |
| 2 | DIR | Direction control input - HIGH enables B→A data flow; LOW enables A→B; Schmitt-triggered |
| 3–10 | A0–A7 | A-side bidirectional data terminals - connect to 5 V bus; driven by VCC(A) and referenced to GND |
| 11–13 | GND | Common ground reference - three dedicated pins minimize ground bounce in high-speed switching |
| 14–21 | B7–B0 | B-side bidirectional data terminals - connect to 3 V bus; driven by VCC(B) and referenced to GND |
| 22 | OE | Active-low output enable - LOW enables transceiver; HIGH forces all A/B pins into high-Z; 5 V tolerant |
| 23–24 | VCC(B) | 3 V bus supply rail - powers B-side I/O; decoupling required near pins 23/24 for noise suppression |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual-supply translation | Independent VCC(A) and VCC(B) rails allow simultaneous 5 V ↔ 3 V bidirectional data transfer without external level shifters |
| 5 V-tolerant control inputs | DIR and OE accept 0–5.5 V logic regardless of VCC(B) voltage - eliminates need for pull-up resistors or voltage clamping |
| Schmitt-trigger inputs | Hysteresis ≥0.3 V on all inputs rejects noise on slow-rising control or data lines in electrically noisy industrial environments |
| Suspend-mode isolation | Zero current path between VCC(A) and VCC(B) when either supply is 0 V - prevents back-powering and system-level fault propagation |
| JEDEC-compliant packaging | TSSOP24 (SOT355-1) meets MO-153 mechanical standards and supports automated optical inspection and reflow profiling |
Applications
| Industrial PLC Backplane Interface | Automotive Body Control Module (Non-Automotive Qualified) |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC4245APWR (TI) | Identical pinout and electrical specs; lower ICC typical (0.1 μA vs 5 μA at 125 °C) but same max ratings; JEDEC JESD8B compliance only (no JESD36) | Same industrial temperature range (-40 °C to +125 °C); slightly tighter VOL spec at 3.3 V (0.55 V vs 0.60 V max) | Select for TI-design ecosystems or where JESD36 compliance is non-mandatory; verify layout compatibility with TI's thermal pad recommendations. |
| 74AVC4245PW,118 (Nexperia) | Higher speed (tPLH/tPHL ≤4.2 ns at 3.3 V), lower VCC(B) min (1.2 V), but reduced ESD (HBM 1500 V) and no suspend-mode isolation | Supports 1.2 V–3.6 V/1.2 V–3.6 V translation only - unsuitable for true 5 V bus interfaces requiring 5 V tolerance | Choose only for next-gen low-voltage systems (e.g., 1.8 V ↔ 3.3 V); avoid where 5 V peripheral compatibility or zero-VCC isolation is required. |
Compared with SN74LVC4245APWR, the 74LVC4245APW,118 offers stronger JESD36 compliance and superior suspend-mode behavior; versus 74AVC4245PW,118, it trades speed for 5 V tolerance and rail-isolation - making it the sole choice for mixed 3 V/5 V industrial backplanes.

FAQ
Can 74LVC4245APW,118 operate with VCC(A) = 3.3 V and VCC(B) = 1.8 V?
Yes - the device supports VCC(A) ≥ VCC(B) across its full specified ranges: VCC(A) = 1.5–5.5 V and VCC(B) = 1.5–3.6 V. At VCC(A) = 3.3 V and VCC(B) = 1.8 V, it functions as a 3.3 V ↔ 1.8 V translator with guaranteed VIH/VIL thresholds and output drive strength per Table 6. Propagation delay increases slightly versus 3.3 V/3.3 V operation but remains within datasheet limits.
What happens if VCC(A) is powered but VCC(B) is 0 V?
In this condition, the device enters suspend mode: all B-side I/Os (B0–B7) and internal circuitry connected to VCC(B) are isolated. No current flows from VCC(A) to GND through the B-side, preventing back-powering of unpowered subsystems. A-side outputs remain functional if OE and DIR are asserted, but B-side signals are high-impedance and undefined.
Is the TSSOP24 package (SOT355-1) lead-free and RoHS compliant?
Yes - the 74LVC4245APW,118 is manufactured in a lead-free, halogen-free, and RoHS-compliant process. The SOT355-1 package uses matte tin (Sn) termination with NiPdAu underplate, qualified to JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1 (MSL1) and compatible with standard Pb-free reflow profiles (peak 260 °C).
How does Schmitt-trigger action improve noise immunity on DIR and OE inputs?
Schmitt-trigger inputs provide hysteresis (typically 0.3–0.5 V) between rising and falling thresholds, meaning a noisy signal must cross two distinct voltage levels to toggle state. This prevents multiple transitions during slow or noisy edges - critical for DIR/OE control lines that may traverse long PCB traces near switching regulators or motor drivers.
