Product details
Overview
74LVC8T245BQ-Q100 from Nexperia is an automotive-grade 8-bit dual-supply translating transceiver with 3-state outputs, enabling bidirectional level translation between 1.2 V and 5.5 V domains. It features independent VCC(A) and VCC(B) supplies, DIR-controlled data direction, OE-enabled bus isolation, and IOFF circuitry for partial power-down protection. Used in automotive infotainment backplanes interfacing 1.8 V microcontrollers with 3.3 V display drivers.
For engineers reviewing the 74LVC8T245BQ-Q100 datasheet, 74LVC8T245BQ-Q100 pinout, 74LVC8T245BQ-Q100 application, or 74LVC8T245BQ-Q100 equivalent, this device supports high-speed bidirectional voltage translation across mixed-voltage automotive subsystems while maintaining AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification, suspend-mode isolation, and ±24 mA drive strength at 3.0 V.
Technical Context
The device implements a dual-rail CMOS transceiver architecture with separate input-reference domains: An, DIR, and OE pins referenced to VCC(A); Bn pins referenced to VCC(B). Direction control is synchronous and edge-independent - DIR HIGH enables A→B transmission, DIR LOW enables B→A transmission.
IOFF circuitry actively disables outputs when either VCC(A) or VCC(B) is at GND, preventing backflow current and ensuring high-impedance OFF-state on both ports during suspend mode. Bus hold circuitry (in LVCH variant) is not present in 74LVC8T245-Q100 per datasheet Table 7 footnote [4], confirming this is the non-bus-hold version.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply range VCC(A) | 1.2 V to 5.5 V - supports direct interface with 1.2 V, 1.5 V, 1.8 V, 2.5 V, 3.3 V, and 5.0 V logic domains |
| Supply range VCC(B) | 1.2 V to 5.5 V - independent rail allows asymmetric translation (e.g., 1.8 V ↔ 3.3 V) |
| Max data rate | 420 Mbps - achievable when translating from 3.3 V to 5.0 V, enabling high-throughput inter-ECU communication |
| Propagation delay (A→B) | 5.4 ns typical at VCC(A)=3.3 V, VCC(B)=5.0 V - ensures sub-6 ns timing margin for 100+ MHz buses |
| IOFF leakage | ±2 μA max at -40 °C to +125 °C - guarantees safe hot-swap and power sequencing in multi-rail automotive modules |
| Output drive | ±24 mA at VCC=3.0 V - drives 50 Ω transmission lines or multiple CMOS loads without external buffers |
| Ambient temperature | -40 °C to +125 °C - qualified for under-hood and ADAS domain controller environments |
Pinout & Package
DHVQFN24 package (SOT815-1), 3.5 × 5.5 × 0.85 mm body, side-wettable flanks for AOI-compatible solder joint inspection. Exposed thermal pad (non-electrical, optional GND connection).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 11–13, 24 | GND | Ground reference for both supply domains; all must be connected to system 0 V plane |
| 2 | DIR | Direction control input referenced to VCC(A); HIGH = A→B, LOW = B→A |
| 3–10 | A1–A8 | Port A bidirectional I/Os referenced to VCC(A); connect to low-voltage MCU or sensor interface |
| 14–21 | B1–B8 | Port B bidirectional I/Os referenced to VCC(B); connect to higher-voltage peripheral or display interface |
| 22 | OE | Active-LOW output enable; asserts high-impedance state on both ports when HIGH |
| 1, 23 | VCC(A) | Supply for Port A, DIR, and OE inputs; sets logic thresholds for A-side signals |
| 23, 24 | VCC(B) | Supply for Port B; defines output swing and input thresholds for B-side signals |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual-supply translation | Independent 1.2 V–5.5 V rails on A and B ports eliminate need for external level shifters in mixed-voltage designs |
| IOFF partial power-down | Prevents damaging back-current when one supply is off - critical for ECU power domain sequencing and fail-safe operation |
| AEC-Q100 Grade 1 | Qualified for automotive use from -40 °C to +125 °C ambient, meeting stringent reliability and lifetime requirements |
| 3-state bus isolation | OE-controlled high-impedance outputs allow shared bus arbitration and prevent signal contention in multi-master systems |
| High noise immunity | Meets JEDEC standards JESD8-7, JESD8-5, JESD8C, JESD36 - robust against coupled transients in vehicle E/E architectures |
Applications
| ADAS Camera Interface | Body Control Module Backplane |
|---|---|

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Voltage-domain bridge managing bidirectional UART and GPIO signals across mixed-supply subsystems. Use Value: Eliminates need for separate unidirectional translators per signal, simplifying layout and supporting hot-plug diagnostics. |
| Infotainment Display Link | Powertrain Gateway Isolation |
|
Use Scenario: Translating parallel RGB interface signals between a 1.2 V application processor and a 2.5 V display timing controller.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 74LVCH8T245BQ-Q100 | Includes active bus hold circuitry on all I/Os; otherwise identical pinout, specs, and qualification | Eliminates need for external pull-ups on floating A/B port inputs - beneficial in low-power wake-on-event designs | Select when unused inputs may float during sleep; avoid if bus hold current adds unacceptable static load |
| SN74AVC8T245RHLR | Texas Instruments part; same 8-bit dual-rail function but rated only to +85 °C (not AEC-Q100) | Lacks automotive qualification and suspend-mode IOFF behavior - unsuitable for under-hood or safety-critical domains | Acceptable for industrial or consumer applications requiring 1.2 V–3.6 V translation without automotive compliance |
Compared with 74LVCH8T245BQ-Q100, the base 74LVC8T245BQ-Q100 reduces static current by omitting bus hold, while SN74AVC8T245RHLR trades automotive reliability for broader commercial availability - making the original optimal for cost-sensitive, thermally demanding automotive nodes where IOFF and Grade 1 are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable voltage difference between VCC(A) and VCC(B)?
The datasheet specifies independent operating ranges: VCC(A) and VCC(B) each support 1.2 V to 5.5 V with no restriction on differential voltage. Absolute maximum ratings permit VCC(A) = –0.5 V to +6.5 V and VCC(B) = –0.5 V to +6.5 V, meaning up to 6.0 V difference is electrically permissible. However, functional translation requires both supplies to be within their recommended 1.2 V–5.5 V range.
Does 74LVC8T245BQ-Q100 support hot insertion?
Yes - its IOFF circuitry ensures outputs enter high-impedance state when either VCC(A) or VCC(B) is at GND, preventing back-current flow during live board insertion. This behavior is explicitly validated in suspend mode (Table 3, footnote [1]) and meets automotive hot-swap requirements per ISO 16750-2.
Can DIR and OE be driven from different voltage domains?
No - DIR and OE inputs are referenced solely to VCC(A), as stated in Section 5.2 and functional description. Driving them from VCC(B) or another rail violates input voltage limits and risks latch-up. They must be controlled by logic operating at VCC(A) voltage levels, with VIH/VIL thresholds scaling accordingly (e.g., VIH = 0.65×VCC(A) at 1.4–1.95 V).
Is the exposed thermal pad electrically connected?
No - per datasheet Section 5.1, the thermal pad (terminal 1 index area) has no electrical or mechanical requirement to be soldered. If soldered, it must remain floating or be connected to GND; it is not internally tied to any supply or signal net. Its sole purpose is thermal conduction to the PCB ground plane.
