Product details
Overview
74LVQ245TTR from STMicroelectronics is a low-voltage CMOS octal bus transceiver with 3-state outputs, designed for bidirectional asynchronous data transfer between two 8-bit buses. It operates from 2.0 V to 3.6 V, delivers 5.7 ns typical propagation delay at 3.3 V, supports 24 mA PCI bus drive capability, and features symmetrical 12 mA output drive (|IOH| = IOL) and 75 Ω transmission line driving - used in 3.3 V system interconnects including industrial control backplanes and embedded peripheral interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the 74LVQ245TTR datasheet, 74LVQ245TTR pinout, 74LVQ245TTR application, or 74LVQ245TTR equivalent, key selection criteria include directional control logic (DIR), output enable (G), high-impedance isolation behavior, 75 Ω line driving compliance, and guaranteed PCI-level drive strength at 24 mA.
Technical Context
The device implements dual-bus bidirectional communication via DIR-controlled signal flow direction and G-gated 3-state output enable/disable. Its C2MOS sub-micron process ensures latch-up immunity and 2 kV ESD protection on all pins.
It guarantees balanced tPLH ≅ tPHL propagation delays, low-noise VOLP = 0.5 V (typ.) at 3.3 V, and operates across –55 °C to +125 °C with 1.2 V data retention - enabling robust use in thermally demanding industrial environments without external level-shifting.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 2.0 V to 3.6 V operating; 1.2 V data retention enables low-power suspend states |
| tPD (Typ.) | 5.7 ns at VCC = 3.3 V - enables >100 MHz bus handshaking in synchronous systems |
| IOL / IOH | 12 mA min. at VCC = 3.0 V - ensures reliable 75 Ω transmission line termination |
| PCI Drive | 24 mA guaranteed - meets PCI Local Bus Specification Level-2 electrical requirements |
| VOLP (Typ.) | 0.5 V at VCC = 3.3 V, CL = 50 pF - reduces ground bounce in dense PCB layouts |
| ICC (Max.) | 40 µA at TA = 125 °C - supports ultra-low static power in always-on subsystems |
| CIN / CI/O | 5 pF input / 10 pF I/O capacitance - minimizes capacitive loading on driving sources |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP-20 package: 6.5 mm × 4.4 mm body, 0.65 mm pitch, 1.2 mm max height, lead-free and RoHS-compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (DIR) | Direction Control Input | High = B→A data flow; Low = A→B; defines real-time bus arbitration path |
| 19 (G) | Output Enable Input | Low = active transceiver; High = all A/B ports enter high-impedance isolation |
| 2–9 (A1–A8) | Bus A I/O Terminals | Bidirectional data interface for local bus or microcontroller side; 3-state when G = High |
| 11–18 (B1–B8) | Bus B I/O Terminals | Bidirectional data interface for peripheral or memory side; isolated when G = High |
| 10 (GND) | Ground Reference | 0 V reference for all I/O and internal logic; must be low-inductance connection |
| 20 (VCC) | Supply Voltage | Primary power rail; decoupling capacitor required within 5 mm of pin per layout guidelines |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Symmetrical Output Drive | |IOH| = IOL ≥ 12 mA at 3.0 V - eliminates skew-induced timing margin loss in differential-like routing |
| 75 Ω Line Driving | Guaranteed incident-wave switching on 75 Ω traces - enables direct connection to coaxial or controlled-impedance PCB traces without external termination |
| Low Dynamic Noise | VOLP = 0.5 V (typ.) at 3.3 V - reduces simultaneous switching noise (SSN) in multi-transceiver systems |
| Extended Temp Range | –55 °C to +125 °C operation - qualified for under-hood automotive and industrial motor drive control applications |
| Latch-Up Immunity | Improved C2MOS process - withstands >200 mA transient current per IEC 61000-4-2 without functional disruption |

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 | Lower ICC (10 µA typ.), but only rated to 85 °C ambient; no 24 mA PCI guarantee | Consumer-grade portable electronics where extended temperature is not required | Select when cost and quiescent current dominate over industrial reliability and PCI compliance |
| 74ALVC245MTCX | Faster tPD (2.8 ns typ.), but higher VOLP (0.8 V) and narrower VCC range (2.3–3.6 V) | High-speed test equipment requiring minimal propagation skew | Select when sub-3 ns timing is critical and noise margin can be managed externally |
Compared with SN74LVC245APWR and 74ALVC245MTCX, the 74LVQ245TTR uniquely combines PCI-compliant 24 mA drive, –55 °C to +125 °C operation, and 75 Ω line driving - making it the only choice for ruggedized backplane and automotive body control applications requiring guaranteed electrical interoperability.

FAQ
What is the maximum recommended capacitive load for 74LVQ245TTR outputs?
The device is characterized with CL = 50 pF in AC specifications, and its 75 Ω transmission line driving capability implies optimal performance with ≤50 pF total load (including trace and receiver capacitance). Exceeding 75 pF may increase tPLH/tPHL beyond 13 ns max and elevate VOLP above 0.8 V, risking signal integrity in high-speed buses.
Can 74LVQ245TTR operate with VCC = 2.5 V while maintaining PCI drive strength?
No - the 24 mA PCI drive guarantee applies only at VCC ≥ 3.0 V per Table 6. At 2.5 V, IOL/IOH drops to ~8 mA (extrapolated from 3.0 V min. spec), insufficient for PCI Level-2 compliance. For 2.5 V systems, use directional control and external drivers or select a dedicated 2.5 V PCI buffer.
How does the DIR input behave during power-up or brown-out conditions?
DIR has no internal pull-up/down; it must be actively driven or externally biased. If left floating during VCC ramp-up, undefined direction state may cause bus contention. STMicroelectronics recommends tying DIR to GND or VCC via ≤10 kΩ resistor during power sequencing to enforce known initial direction before firmware initialization.
Is the TSSOP-20 package of 74LVQ245TTR compatible with standard SO-20 footprints?
No - TSSOP-20 (6.5 × 4.4 mm, 0.65 mm pitch) is physically incompatible with SO-20 (13.0 × 7.6 mm, 1.27 mm pitch). Layout requires dedicated TSSOP land pattern per ST's 0087225C mechanical drawing. Thermal pad variants are not present; reflow profile must follow JEDEC J-STD-020 for TSSOP.
