Product details
Overview
74LVCH245AD-Q100 from Nexperia is an automotive-qualified octal bus transceiver with 3-state outputs, direction control (DIR), and active-low output enable (OE). It operates from 1.2 V to 3.6 V, tolerates 5.5 V inputs, features bus hold on all data inputs, and supports partial power-down via IOFF circuitry. Used in bidirectional data buses between mixed-voltage domains (e.g., 3.3 V microcontroller ↔ 5 V peripheral) in engine control units.
For engineers reviewing the 74LVCH245AD-Q100 datasheet, 74LVCH245AD-Q100 pinout, 74LVCH245AD-Q100 application, or 74LVCH245AD-Q100 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, SO20 package layout, AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification context, bus hold behavior, and real-world automotive interface use cases - not generic logic device descriptions.
Technical Context
This transceiver implements dual-bus bidirectional data flow controlled by DIR and OE pins: DIR selects direction (A→B or B→A), while OE disables all outputs into high-impedance state. Schmitt-trigger inputs tolerate slow-rising signals common in automotive harnesses, and IOFF blocks backflow current during power sequencing.
Bus hold circuitry (exclusive to LVCH variant) actively maintains last-valid logic state at each data input when un-driven, eliminating external pull resistors in CAN/LIN node interfaces and reducing PCB component count. Input voltage tolerance up to 5.5 V enables direct connection to legacy 5 V subsystems without level shifters.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 1.2 V to 3.6 V - Enables operation across low-power MCU I/O rails and standard 3.3 V systems. |
| Input Voltage Tolerance | Up to 5.5 V - Allows direct interfacing with 5 V logic without external level translation. |
| Propagation Delay (VCC = 3.3 V) | Max 6.3 ns - Supports >80 MHz data throughput in high-speed automotive serial buses. |
| IOFF Leakage Current | <±20 μA at VCC = 0 V - Prevents damaging back-current during hot-swap or partial power-down sequences. |
| Bus Hold Sustaining Current | ±75 μA at VCC = 3.0 V - Maintains stable input state under noise or floating conditions without external biasing. |
| ESD Protection | HBM >2000 V, CDM >1000 V - Meets automotive robustness requirements for assembly and field operation. |
| Operating Temperature | −40 °C to +125 °C - Qualified per AEC-Q100 Grade 1 for under-hood and transmission control applications. |
Pinout & Package
74LVCH245AD-Q100 uses the SO20 (SOT163-1) plastic small outline package: 20-pin, 7.5 mm body width, 1.27 mm lead pitch, gull-wing leads. Compatible with standard reflow and AOI inspection.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | DIR | Direction control input: LOW enables A→B data flow; HIGH enables B→A flow. |
| 2–9 | A0–A7 | Port A data I/O terminals - connect to master-side bus (e.g., MCU GPIO bank). |
| 10 | GND | Ground reference for all internal circuitry and signal return path. |
| 11–18 | B0–B7 | Port B data I/O terminals - connect to slave-side bus (e.g., sensor cluster or actuator interface). |
| 19 | OE | Active-low output enable: HIGH forces all A/B outputs into high-impedance state. |
| 20 | VCC | Primary supply rail - powers internal logic and output drivers; decoupling required near pin. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Bus hold on all data inputs | Eliminates need for external pull-up/down resistors in automotive ECU modules where trace stubs induce floating states. |
| IOFF partial power-down protection | Prevents reverse current flow when VCC is off but A/B buses remain energized - critical for fail-safe gateway designs. |
| Schmitt-trigger inputs | Enables reliable sampling of slow-rising signals from inductive sensors (e.g., crankshaft position) without added hysteresis circuitry. |
| 5.5 V tolerant inputs | Directly interfaces with legacy 5 V LIN transceivers or analog front-end ICs without level-shifting components. |
| AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification | Validated for continuous operation from −40 °C to +125 °C ambient - suitable for powertrain and chassis control units. |
Applications
| Engine Control Unit (ECU) Data Bridge | Body Control Module (BCM) Sensor Hub |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal bus transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 74LVC245AD-Q100 | No bus hold; lower input hysteresis; identical pinout and voltage specs. | Requires external pull resistors in floating-input scenarios; less robust in noisy harness environments. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs need for bus hold and higher noise immunity. |
| SN74LVC245AQPWRQ1 | TSSOP20 package (SOT360-1); same electrical specs; no side-wettable flanks. | Lower thermal resistance than SO20 but lacks AOI-compatible solder joint inspection capability. | Choose for space-constrained PCB layouts where automated optical inspection is not mandated. |
Compared with 74LVC245AD-Q100 and SN74LVC245AQPWRQ1, the 74LVCH245AD-Q100 uniquely combines bus hold functionality, SO20 side-wettable flanks for automotive AOI, and identical AEC-Q100 qualification - making it optimal for high-reliability, production-ready ECU designs requiring zero external biasing and full process traceability.

FAQ
What is the function of the DIR pin on the 74LVCH245AD-Q100?
The DIR (direction) pin controls data flow direction between Port A and Port B. When DIR is LOW, data passes from A0–A7 to B0–B7; when DIR is HIGH, data flows from B0–B7 to A0–A7. This bidirectional capability eliminates the need for separate transmit/receive buffers in automotive communication gateways and sensor hubs.
Does the 74LVCH245AD-Q100 require external pull-up resistors on its data lines?
No. The 74LVCH245AD-Q100 integrates bus hold circuitry on all eight A-side and eight B-side data inputs, actively maintaining the last valid logic state without external resistors. This feature reduces component count and improves noise immunity in automotive wiring harnesses prone to intermittent opens.
How does the IOFF feature protect the device during power-down sequences?
When VCC drops to 0 V, the IOFF circuit disables all outputs and blocks current flow between powered and unpowered buses. Measured leakage is <±20 μA, preventing damaging back-current from 5 V sensor lines into a de-energized 3.3 V microcontroller domain - a critical safeguard in automotive power management architectures.
Can the 74LVCH245AD-Q100 operate with a 1.2 V supply while interfacing with 5 V inputs?
Yes. The device is fully specified from 1.2 V to 3.6 V supply and accepts input voltages up to 5.5 V regardless of VCC level. At 1.2 V operation, it maintains guaranteed VIH/VIL thresholds and supports 5 V-tolerant signaling - enabling ultra-low-power sleep-mode interfaces with wake-up-capable peripherals.
