Product details
Overview
74LVCH8T245PW,118 from Nexperia is an 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 operation. Used in mixed-voltage system interconnects such as FPGA-to-ASIC I/O bridging, microcontroller peripheral expansion, and industrial sensor interface modules.
For engineers reviewing the 74LVCH8T245PW,118 datasheet, 74LVCH8T245PW,118 pinout, 74LVCH8T245PW,118 application, or 74LVCH8T245PW,118 equivalent, this device supports critical design tasks including voltage-domain boundary management, hot-swap-capable bus isolation, suspend-mode leakage control, and high-speed (up to 420 Mbps) bidirectional signal translation across 1.2 V/1.5 V/1.8 V/2.5 V/3.3 V/5.0 V logic families.
Technical Context
This transceiver implements true dual-rail I/O architecture: A-side pins (An, DIR, OE) are referenced to VCC(A); B-side pins (Bn) to VCC(B). Direction control is synchronous and non-latched - DIR HIGH enables An→Bn flow; DIR LOW enables Bn→An flow. Output enable (OE) is active-low and independently disables both ports into high-impedance state.
The device integrates bus-hold circuitry on all A/B data pins to maintain valid logic levels on floating inputs, eliminating external pull resistors. Its IOFF protection actively disables outputs during power-down (e.g., VCC(A) = 0 V while VCC(B) = 3.3 V), preventing damaging back-current and ensuring robustness in partial-power systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Range (VCC(A)/VCC(B)) | 1.2 V to 5.5 V each - enables translation between any two common logic voltages (e.g., 1.8 V ↔ 3.3 V, 2.5 V ↔ 5.0 V). |
| Max Data Rate | 420 Mbps (3.3 V → 5.0 V) - supports high-throughput interconnects in real-time embedded and industrial control systems. |
| Propagation Delay (typ) | 5.4 ns (An→Bn, VCC(A)=3.3 V, VCC(B)=5.0 V) - ensures timing-critical signal integrity in sub-10 ns timing budgets. |
| IOFF Leakage (max) | ±10 μA at -40 °C to +125 °C - guarantees safe, low-current isolation during asymmetric power sequencing. |
| Bus-Hold Current | ±100 μA (VCCI = 4.5 V) - maintains stable logic states without external biasing, reducing BOM count and layout area. |
| ESD Protection | HBM >4000 V, CDM >1000 V - meets industrial-grade robustness requirements for handling and board-level reliability. |
| Operating Temperature | -40 °C to +125 °C - qualified for under-hood automotive, motor drives, and harsh-environment industrial applications. |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP24 (SOT355-1) package: 24-pin plastic thin shrink small outline, 4.4 mm body width, 0.65 mm pitch, lead-free and RoHS compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VCC(A) | A-side supply rail | Powers A-port I/O, DIR, and OE inputs; defines logic thresholds for A-side signals. |
| VCC(B) | B-side supply rail | Powers B-port I/O only; defines logic thresholds and output swing for B-side signals. |
| DIR | Direction control input | Active-HIGH selects A→B data flow; LOW selects B→A - no internal latching, fully synchronous. |
| OE | Output enable (active LOW) | Drives both A and B ports into 3-state when HIGH; enables full bus isolation during standby/suspend. |
| A1–A8 | A-port bidirectional data | 8-bit I/O referenced to VCC(A); support bus-hold and IOFF when powered down. |
| B1–B8 | B-port bidirectional data | 8-bit I/O referenced to VCC(B); electrically isolated from A-side except through transceiver core. |
| GND (pins 11,12,13) | Ground reference | All three GND pins must be connected to system ground for noise immunity and thermal performance. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent supply rails | VCC(A) and VCC(B) each configurable from 1.2 V to 5.5 V - eliminates need for external level shifters in heterogeneous voltage systems. |
| IOFF partial power-down | Outputs automatically disable when either VCC is at 0 V - prevents backflow current and enables safe hot-plug operation. |
| Integrated bus-hold circuitry | Eliminates external pull-up/down resistors on all 16 data lines - reduces component count and PCB space in high-density designs. |
| Suspend mode | Enters high-impedance OFF-state when either VCC(A) or VCC(B) = GND - ensures deterministic behavior during power sequencing or fault conditions. |
| High-speed translation | 420 Mbps max rate (3.3 V → 5.0 V) with <10 ns typical propagation delay - suitable for DDR, SPI, and parallel bus interfaces. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bidirectional level translation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74AVCH8T245RHLR | TI part with identical 8-bit dual-supply architecture but tighter 1.2 V to 3.6 V VCC range; lower max speed (250 Mbps @ 3.3 V). | Limited to ≤3.6 V domains; not suitable for 5.0 V translation or industrial 5 V legacy interfaces. | Select when operating exclusively within 1.2 V–3.6 V ecosystems and TI supply chain preference applies. |
| TXB0308RUTR | TI auto-direction-sensing translator; no DIR pin required but lacks OE control and has higher propagation delay (>15 ns). | Eliminates direction control logic but sacrifices deterministic timing and bus-isolation capability. | Prefer for simple push-pull buses where direction is predictable; avoid in systems requiring precise OE-gated isolation or sub-10 ns timing. |
Compared with SN74AVCH8T245RHLR and TXB0308RUTR, the 74LVCH8T245PW,118 offers broader voltage coverage (up to 5.5 V), faster max speed (420 Mbps), explicit OE control for guaranteed bus isolation, and superior suspend-mode leakage performance - making it optimal for mixed-voltage industrial and automotive designs demanding timing precision and robust power sequencing.

FAQ
What is the minimum recommended supply voltage for reliable operation?
The 74LVCH8T245PW,118 is fully specified from 1.2 V to 5.5 V on both VCC(A) and VCC(B). At 1.2 V, it delivers guaranteed functionality including bus-hold activation, IOFF protection, and 75 Mbps data rate - validated across -40 °C to +125 °C per JEDEC JESD8-7 compliance.
How does the IOFF feature behave during asymmetric power-down?
When either VCC(A) or VCC(B) drops to 0 V while the other remains powered, the IOFF circuitry forces all associated outputs into high-impedance state and limits leakage to ±10 μA maximum. This prevents back-current flow and ensures safe operation during hot-swap or partial-power scenarios.
Can DIR and OE be driven from different voltage domains than their respective VCC rails?
No - DIR and OE inputs are strictly referenced to VCC(A) and must be driven within 0 V to VCC(A). Similarly, Bn pins are referenced only to VCC(B). Cross-domain driving violates absolute maximum ratings and risks latch-up or undefined logic behavior.
Is bus-hold functionality enabled by default, and can it be disabled?
Yes - bus-hold is permanently integrated and always active on all A/B data pins; there is no enable/disable control. It draws minimal current (<200 μA per pin at 3.0 V) and eliminates need for external biasing, but cannot be deactivated via configuration or pin strapping.
