Product details
Overview
74LVCH245APW-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, and features bus hold on all data inputs-enabling robust signal integrity in noisy automotive infotainment and body control modules.
For engineers reviewing the 74LVCH245APW-Q100 datasheet, 74LVCH245APW-Q100 pinout, 74LVCH245APW-Q100 application, or 74LVCH245APW-Q100 equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification (-40 °C to +125 °C), IOFF partial power-down capability, Schmitt-trigger inputs for slow-edge tolerance, and TSSOP20 package with side-wettable flanks for AOI-compatible solder joint inspection.
Technical Context
This device implements a bidirectional 8-bit data path controlled by DIR and OE signals: DIR selects data flow direction (A→B or B→A), while OE disables all outputs into high-impedance state. Its CMOS design supports mixed-voltage interfacing-3.3 V logic can safely drive and read 5 V-tolerant I/Os without level shifters.
The 74LVCH245A-Q100 variant includes bus hold circuitry on all eight A-side data pins (A0–A7), eliminating external pull resistors in floating-bus scenarios. The IOFF feature actively isolates outputs during power-down, preventing backflow current when VCC = 0 V-critical for hot-swap and low-power sleep modes in automotive ECUs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply voltage range | 1.2 V to 3.6 V - Enables operation across battery-supplied automotive rails including post-cranking brownout conditions. |
| Input voltage tolerance | Up to 5.5 V - Allows direct connection to legacy 5 V microcontrollers or sensors without external clamping. |
| Propagation delay (VCC = 3.3 V) | Max 6.3 ns - Supports high-speed data transfer in CAN FD gateway interfaces and ADAS sensor aggregation paths. |
| Bus hold current (VI = 0.8 V) | 75 μA LOW / -75 μA HIGH - Maintains valid logic states on un-driven A-side buses during ECU reset sequences. |
| IOFF leakage (VCC = 0 V) | ±20 μA - Limits backfeed current from powered subsystems into unpowered domains, satisfying ISO 16750-2 power-off requirements. |

| 19 (OE) | Output enable (active LOW) | Drives all A/B outputs to high-Z when HIGH-enables multi-drop bus sharing and prevents contention during firmware updates. |
| 20 (VCC) | Power supply | Accepts 1.2–3.6 V; decoupling capacitor (100 nF X7R) required within 3 mm per AEC-Q200 layout guidelines. |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal bus transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 74LVC245APW-Q100 | No bus hold; lower ICC (0.1 μA vs 5 μA typical); identical pinout and voltage specs | Suitable where external pull resistors are acceptable and ultra-low static current is prioritized | Select when system-level bus termination is already implemented and cost sensitivity outweighs board-space savings from bus hold. |
| SN74LVC8T245RHLR | Higher drive strength (32 mA vs 24 mA); different package (VQFN-24); no AEC-Q100 qualification | Targeted at industrial/commercial designs requiring higher fan-out or thermal performance | Choose only for non-automotive applications needing enhanced output current or finer-pitch packaging; not qualified for automotive use. |
Compared with 74LVC245APW-Q100, the 74LVCH245APW-Q100 adds bus hold to reduce external components but increases quiescent current; versus SN74LVC8T245RHLR, it trades package density and drive strength for AEC-Q100 compliance and IOFF protection-making it the sole choice for safety-critical automotive bus extension.

FAQ
What is the function of the DIR pin on the 74LVCH245APW-Q100?
The DIR (direction) pin controls data flow direction between ports A and 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 enables flexible bus architecture in automotive gateways where multiple masters share a common data path without requiring separate unidirectional buffers.
Does the 74LVCH245APW-Q100 support hot insertion?
Yes-the IOFF circuit ensures that when VCC = 0 V, all outputs enter a high-impedance state with leakage limited to ±20 μA, preventing damaging backflow current from live system buses into the unpowered device. This meets AEC-Q100 hot-insertion requirements for modular ECU replacement in service bays.
How does bus hold improve reliability in automotive wiring harnesses?
Bus hold maintains the last valid logic state on A-side inputs (A0–A7) when disconnected or floating-eliminating false transitions caused by electromagnetic interference on long harness runs. With 75 μA sustaining current at 0.8 V, it prevents spurious resets in door module microcontrollers during connector mating/unmating events.
Can the 74LVCH245APW-Q100 interface with both 1.8 V and 5 V logic simultaneously?
Yes-its 1.2 V to 3.6 V supply range supports 1.8 V core logic, while its 5.5 V-tolerant inputs/outputs allow direct connection to 5 V peripherals. For example, A-side can connect to a 1.8 V FPGA I/O bank, and B-side to a 5 V CAN transceiver, with no external level-shifting components required.
