Product details
Overview
74LVC4245APW-Q100 from Nexperia is an AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified 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 zero-current path during suspend mode when either supply is 0 V. Used in automotive infotainment backplane interfaces requiring mixed-voltage domain isolation.
For engineers reviewing the 74LVC4245APW-Q100 datasheet, 74LVC4245APW-Q100 pinout, 74LVC4245APW-Q100 application, or 74LVC4245APW-Q100 equivalent, key selection criteria include bidirectional voltage translation capability, AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification, TSSOP24 package compatibility, 3-state timing (tPZL ≤ 11.0 ns), and 5 V-tolerant control inputs up to 5.5 V.
Technical Context
This transceiver implements true bidirectional level translation using separate VCC(A) and VCC(B) rails, with direction controlled by DIR and output enable managed by active-low OE. Its internal circuitry ensures no current flows between supplies during suspend mode (VCC(A) = 0 V or VCC(B) = 0 V), satisfying automotive power sequencing requirements.
Schmitt-trigger inputs provide hysteresis (typ. 0.3 V at 3.3 V) to tolerate slow-rising signals common in legacy automotive modules, while static characteristics guarantee VIH ≥ 2.0 V and VIL ≤ 0.8 V across -40 °C to +125 °C, supporting robust TTL- and CMOS-compatible interfacing on both sides.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC(A) Range | 1.5 V to 5.5 V - powers 5 V bus side; supports direct connection to 5 V microcontrollers without external regulators |
| VCC(B) Range | 1.5 V to 3.6 V - powers 3 V bus side; compatible with 2.7 V–3.3 V automotive MCUs and sensors |
| tPHL / tPLH | 1.0–6.5 ns - enables high-speed communication up to ~150 MHz in 3.3 V ↔ 5 V data paths |
| tPZL / tPLZ | 1.0–11.0 ns - ensures fast 3-state transition for bus arbitration in multiprocessor automotive networks |
| VIH / VIL (Control) | 2.0 V / 0.8 V - guarantees reliable OE/DIR recognition across full temperature range (-40 °C to +125 °C) |
| ESD Rating | HBM > 2000 V, CDM > 1000 V - meets automotive board-level ESD robustness requirements per ISO 10605 |
| Ambient Temp | -40 °C to +125 °C - qualified for under-hood and infotainment module environments |
| Package | TSSOP24 (SOT355-1), 4.4 mm body width - surface-mount compatible with standard reflow profiles and AOI-capable |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP24 package (SOT355-1) with 24 leads, 4.4 mm body width, and 0.65 mm pitch; optimized for automotive PCB space constraints and automated optical inspection via side-wettable flanks.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VCC(A) | 5 V bus supply | Primary power rail for A-side I/Os; must be ≥ VCC(B) except in suspend mode |
| VCC(B) | 3 V bus supply | Secondary power rail for B-side I/Os; enables low-voltage domain interfacing |
| GND (11,12,13) | Reference ground | Three dedicated ground pins reduce ground bounce in high-speed bidirectional switching |
| DIR (2) | Direction control | HIGH routes data from B-side to A-side; LOW routes from A-side to B-side |
| OE (22) | Output enable (active LOW) | Drives all A/B outputs to high-impedance when HIGH; critical for bus sharing |
| A0–A7 (3–10) | A-side I/O port | Bidirectional data lines tied to 5 V domain; 5 V tolerant even when VCC(A) = 0 V |
| B0–B7 (14–21) | B-side I/O port | Bidirectional data lines tied to 3 V domain; accepts 5 V inputs safely |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

| Dual-supply translation architecture | Enables simultaneous 3 V ↔ 5 V bidirectional data flow without external level shifters or direction logic |
| Schmitt-trigger inputs | Provides 0.3 V typical hysteresis to reject noise on slow-rising CAN/LIN auxiliary control lines |
| Zero-current suspend mode | Eliminates cross-rail leakage when one supply is powered down-essential for low-power sleep states |
| 5 V-tolerant control inputs | OE and DIR accept 0–5.5 V logic regardless of VCC(B) level, simplifying interface to 5 V supervisors |
| Side-wettable flanks (TSSOP) | Enables automated optical inspection of solder joints-critical for zero-defect automotive manufacturing |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bidirectional level translation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LXC8T245RHLR | Single-supply (1.65–3.6 V), no VCC(A)/VCC(B) separation; requires external level-shifting for 5 V domains | Limited to 3 V–3.3 V systems; unsuitable for native 5 V bus interfacing | Select only if entire system operates below 3.6 V and cost-per-channel is prioritized over voltage flexibility |
| TXS0108EPRJR | Auto-direction sensing (no DIR pin); higher ICC (max 80 μA vs. 10 μA) and slower tPHL (min 3.6 ns vs. 1.0 ns) | Not AEC-Q100 qualified; rated only to +85 °C ambient-excludes under-hood use | Choose only for non-automotive industrial applications where auto-direction simplifies layout and temperature range is ≤ 85 °C |

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable voltage difference between VCC(A) and VCC(B)?
VCC(A) must be ≥ VCC(B) during normal operation per Figure 3 in the datasheet, with full functionality guaranteed when VCC(A) − VCC(B) ≤ 2.0 V. Exceeding this differential risks undefined behavior in output drive strength and timing margins, especially at temperature extremes. The device does not support reverse bias (VCC(B) > VCC(A)) outside suspend mode.
Can OE and DIR be driven directly from a 3.3 V microcontroller when VCC(A) = 5 V?
Yes-OE and DIR inputs are overvoltage tolerant up to 5.5 V and meet VIH ≥ 2.0 V and VIL ≤ 0.8 V across -40 °C to +125 °C, so a 3.3 V GPIO can reliably assert HIGH (3.3 V > 2.0 V) and LOW (0 V < 0.8 V) states regardless of VCC(A) level. No level-shifting circuitry is required.
Does the device support hot insertion when one supply is powered and the other is off?
Yes-the 74LVC4245APW-Q100 guarantees zero current path between VCC(A) and VCC(B) during suspend mode (when either supply = 0 V), satisfying automotive hot-swap requirements. This prevents back-powering and latch-up during partial power-up sequences common in modular ECU architectures.
How does Schmitt-trigger input hysteresis improve performance in automotive environments?
Schmitt-trigger inputs provide ~0.3 V hysteresis at 3.3 V, rejecting noise spikes and slow-rising edges typical of long harness runs and electromagnetic interference in vehicles. This eliminates false triggering on LIN, CAN auxiliary lines, or sensor feedback paths-reducing firmware validation effort and improving system reliability without external RC filtering.
