Product details
Overview
74LVCH2T45RA3-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a dual-bit, dual-supply translating transceiver with tri-state outputs and bus-hold inputs, designed for bidirectional voltage-level translation between 1.2V and 5.5V domains. It features independent VCC(A) and VCC(B) supplies, DIR-controlled data direction, ±24mA drive at 3.3V, and IOFF protection enabling partial power-down isolation. It is used in mobile SoC interconnects where mixed-voltage GPIO bridging is required.
For engineers reviewing the 74LVCH2T45RA3-7 datasheet, 74LVCH2T45RA3-7 pinout, 74LVCH2T45RA3-7 application, or 74LVCH2T45RA3-7 equivalent, this device supports high-speed bidirectional translation (up to 420Mbps), operates across industrial and extended temperature ranges (–40°C to +125°C), and delivers robust ESD immunity (4kV HBM) with bus-hold functionality eliminating external pull resistors.
Technical Context
The 74LVCH2T45RA3-7 implements a dual-channel, direction-controlled bus transceiver architecture with separate supply rails per port. Its DIR pin determines real-time data flow direction: HIGH enables A→B translation, LOW enables B→A translation. Each port supports independent logic thresholds tied to its respective VCC.
It integrates bus-hold circuitry on all four I/O pins (1A, 2A, 1B, 2B), maintaining last-valid logic state without external biasing. The IOFF feature asserts high-impedance on all pins when either VCC drops to 0V, preventing back-drive current and enabling safe hot-insertion in multi-rail systems.
Key Specifications

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC2T45DCUR | No bus-hold; lower ESD rating (2kV HBM); same pinout and VCC range | Requires external pull resistors on unused I/Os; less suitable for high-reliability or space-constrained layouts | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs bus-hold benefit and board layout allows discrete biasing |
| TXS0102DCKR | Auto-direction sensing (no DIR pin); lower drive strength (±8mA); higher ICC (20μA) | Eliminates direction-control logic but limits max speed to 60Mbps; unsuitable for deterministic high-speed protocols | Prefer for simple GPIO expansion where direction is predictable and speed <100Mbps suffices |
Compared with SN74LVC2T45DCUR and TXS0102DCKR, the 74LVCH2T45RA3-7 uniquely combines bus-hold, 420Mbps capability, and IOFF protection in a 1.2mm×1.0mm DFN - making it optimal for miniaturized, high-reliability mixed-voltage interconnects requiring zero external components and deterministic direction control.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable voltage difference between VCC(A) and VCC(B)?
The 74LVCH2T45RA3-7 permits any combination within its 1.2V–5.5V range per rail - including VCC(A) = 1.2V and VCC(B) = 5.5V simultaneously. Absolute maximum ratings confirm no restriction on inter-rail differential; only individual supply limits apply (–0.5V to +6.5V).
Can the DIR pin be left unconnected or tied to a fixed voltage?
No - DIR must be actively driven HIGH or LOW. Floating DIR causes undefined port direction and potential bus contention. Diodes specifies VIH/VIL thresholds relative to VCC(A); for reliable operation, tie DIR to VCC(A) via 10kΩ resistor for A→B default, or to GND for B→A default.
Does the bus-hold feature affect timing or signal integrity?
Bus-hold adds ≤100μA DC loading and <1pF capacitance per I/O - negligible impact on propagation delay (<0.2ns shift) and compatible with 420Mbps operation. It does not degrade rise/fall times or introduce jitter, as confirmed by switching characteristics tables across all VCC combinations.
Is the X2-DFN1210-8 package thermally adequate for continuous 24mA output drive?
Yes - with proper PCB layout (2oz copper, minimum recommended pad), θJA is 295°C/W. At 24mA into 50Ω load with 3.3V VCC, worst-case power dissipation is ~18mW, resulting in <6°C junction rise above ambient - well within the +125°C TJ limit and derating guidelines.
