Product details
Overview
74LVCH245AD,118 from Nexperia is an octal 3-state bus transceiver with bidirectional data flow control via DIR and output enable (OE) inputs, operating from 1.2 V to 3.6 V supply, supporting mixed-voltage translation between 3.3 V and 5 V systems, and featuring bus hold on all data inputs for floating-input stability.
For engineers reviewing the 74LVCH245AD,118 datasheet, 74LVCH245AD,118 pinout, 74LVCH245AD,118 application, or 74LVCH245AD,118 equivalent, this device is selected for level-shifting in industrial I/O expansion, FPGA-to-peripheral interconnects, and legacy bus bridging where IOFF-enabled partial power-down and Schmitt-trigger input tolerance are critical.
Technical Context
This transceiver implements dual-bus bidirectional data transfer using a single DIR signal to select direction (A→B or B→A), while OE (active LOW) independently controls 3-state output disable. Its IOFF circuitry ensures zero backflow current during power-down, meeting JEDEC JESD78 requirements for partial power-down operation.
All eight data I/Os feature bus hold (74LVCH245A variant only), eliminating external pull resistors on unused lines, and Schmitt-trigger inputs tolerate slow-rising/falling edges - enabling reliable interfacing with mechanical switches, long traces, or low-slew-rate drivers.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply voltage range | 1.2 V to 3.6 V - supports direct interface with 1.8 V, 2.5 V, and 3.3 V logic domains without level shifters. |
| Input voltage tolerance | Up to 5.5 V - enables safe connection to 5 V peripherals while powered from 3.3 V or lower supplies. |
| Propagation delay (VCC = 3.3 V) | Max 6.3 ns - ensures timing compliance in high-speed parallel bus applications up to ~80 MHz clock-equivalent rates. |
| IOFF leakage (VCC = 0 V) | ±10 μA max - prevents damaging back-current when one side of the bus is powered down while the other remains active. |
| Bus hold current (VI = 0.8 V) | 75 μA typical - actively maintains valid logic state on un-driven A/B pins, removing need for external biasing. |
| Operating temperature | −40 °C to +125 °C - qualified for under-hood automotive modules, industrial PLCs, and extended-temperature embedded controllers. |
| ESD rating (HBM) | >2000 V - provides robust handling margin during board assembly and field service without additional protection. |
Pinout & Package
74LVCH245AD,118 is supplied in SO20 (SOT163-1) package: plastic small outline, 20-pin, 7.5 mm body width, 1.27 mm pitch, gull-wing leads.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (DIR) | Direction control input | LOW = A→B data flow; HIGH = B→A; determines physical signal path through transceiver core. |
| 2–9 (A0–A7) | Port A data I/O | Bidirectional data terminals connected to source-side bus (e.g., microcontroller or FPGA); include bus hold. |
| 10 (GND) | Ground reference | 0 V return path for all internal logic and I/O circuits; must be low-impedance for noise immunity. |
| 11–18 (B0–B7) | Port B data I/O | Bidirectional data terminals connected to sink-side bus (e.g., peripheral or memory); include bus hold. |
| 19 (OE) | Output enable (active LOW) | Drives all A/B outputs into high-impedance state when HIGH; enables bus sharing across multiple devices. |
| 20 (VCC) | Power supply | Primary supply for internal logic and I/O buffers; decoupling capacitor required within 1 cm of pin. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Wide VCC range (1.2 V to 3.6 V) | Enables drop-in use across 1.8 V, 2.5 V, and 3.3 V system domains without redesign or external regulators. |
| Overvoltage-tolerant inputs (to 5.5 V) | Permits direct connection to 5 V legacy peripherals while powered from 3.3 V, eliminating discrete level translators. |
| IOFF partial power-down protection | Blocks reverse current flow when VCC = 0 V, allowing hot-swap or asymmetric power sequencing in modular systems. |
| Schmitt-trigger inputs | Accepts slow-rising/falling signals (e.g., from sensors or mechanical switches) without oscillation or metastability. |
| Bus hold on all data I/Os | Maintains last-valid logic state on floating A/B pins, reducing BOM count and PCB space vs. external pull-up/down resistors. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal bus transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC245APWR (TI) | No bus hold; identical VCC range, IOFF, and pinout; slightly higher VOL at 24 mA (0.55 V vs. 0.4 V). | Lacks bus hold - requires external pull resistors if A/B lines float during idle states. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs need for bus hold; verify external biasing in low-power sleep modes. |
| 74ALVC245PW,118 (Nexperia) | Wider VCC (1.65 V–3.6 V); no bus hold; faster tpd (5.2 ns @ 3.3 V); same SO20 package and pinout. | Optimized for speed-critical interfaces but lacks floating-input stabilization - unsuitable for mechanically switched inputs. | Choose for highest-speed parallel links where bus hold is unnecessary and 1.2 V operation is not required. |
Compared with SN74LVC245APWR and 74ALVC245PW,118, the 74LVCH245AD,118 uniquely combines bus hold, 1.2 V minimum supply, and −40 °C to +125 °C qualification - making it optimal for resource-constrained, mixed-voltage industrial edge nodes requiring zero-BOM floating-input resilience.

FAQ
Can 74LVCH245AD,118 operate with VCC = 1.2 V while interfacing with 5 V inputs?
Yes. The device supports VCC as low as 1.2 V and tolerates input voltages up to 5.5 V independent of supply level. This allows direct connection to 5 V sources while powered from ultra-low-voltage rails - verified per Table 5 (VI = 0 to 5.5 V) and Table 4 (VI max = +6.5 V absolute).
What is the function of the DIR pin, and how does it interact with OE?
DIR selects data direction: LOW enables A→B transfer; HIGH enables B→A. OE (active LOW) overrides DIR - when OE is HIGH, all outputs go high-impedance regardless of DIR state. This allows independent control of data flow and bus release, essential for multi-master arbitration.
Does the bus hold feature apply to all pins, including DIR and OE?
No. Bus hold is implemented only on data I/O pins A0–A7 and B0–B7 (per Table 6 note [4]). Control pins DIR and OE have standard CMOS inputs without bus hold - they must be actively driven or externally biased to avoid undefined states.
How does IOFF behavior protect the device during partial power-down?
When VCC = 0 V, the IOFF circuit disables all output buffers and blocks current flow between A/B ports and VCC/GND. Measured IOFF leakage is ≤±10 μA (Table 6), preventing destructive back-current from live buses into a powered-down section - critical for hot-plug and modular power architectures.
