Product details
Overview
74LVT2245 from Fairchild Semiconductor is a low-voltage octal bidirectional transceiver with 3-STATE inputs/outputs and integrated 25Ω series resistors on B-port outputs, designed for 3.3V VCC bus interfacing between 3.3V and 5V systems. It features ±12mA/±64mA drive capability on B/A ports respectively, operates across –40°C to +85°C, and supports live insertion/extraction in industrial backplane applications.
For engineers reviewing the 74LVT2245 datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, directional control logic (T/R and OE), B-port slew control via on-die termination, and validated alternatives for 3.3V–5V level-shifting transceiver selection.
Technical Context
The 74LVT2245 implements dual-bus bidirectional data flow controlled by active-HIGH Transmit/Receive (T/R) and active-HIGH Output Enable (OE) signals: T/R = HIGH enables A→B transfer; T/R = LOW enables B→A transfer; OE = HIGH forces both ports into high-impedance state. Its BiCMOS process delivers ABT-class speed with LVT power efficiency.
Unlike the bushold-equipped 74LVTH2245, the 74LVT2245 lacks bushold inputs-requiring external pull-up/pull-down for unused data pins. The 25Ω series resistor on each B-port output is fixed and non-bypassable, reducing overshoot/undershoot without external components.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 2.7V to 3.6V - Ensures compatibility with 3.3V logic rails while tolerating supply variation in industrial environments. |
| A-Port IOL/IOH | 64mA / –32mA - Supports high-drive 3.3V bus loading, e.g., driving multiple TTL inputs or stub-loaded traces. |
| B-Port IOL/IOH | 12mA / –12mA - Lower drive matches 5V-tolerant receivers; 25Ω series resistor limits edge rate for EMI reduction. |
| tPLH/tPHL (A Port) | 1.2ns to 4.0ns @ 3.3V - Enables >200MHz bus operation with tight skew (<1.0ns) across all eight channels. |
| Input Voltage Range | 0V to 5.5V - Allows direct connection to 5V CMOS/TTL buses without level shifters on data or control lines. |
| Power-Up High-Z | Guaranteed during VCC ramp - Prevents bus contention at power-on, eliminating need for reset sequencing in hot-swap systems. |
Pinout & Package
74LVT2245SJ is housed in a 20-lead Small Outline Package (SOP), EIAJ TYPE II, 5.3mm wide (Package Code M20D), with standard 1.27mm pitch and gull-wing leads.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (OE) | Output Enable Input | Active-HIGH control: drives both A and B ports into 3-STATE when HIGH; required for bus isolation during arbitration. |
| 2 (A0) | Side-A Data I/O | Bi-directional terminal: functions as input when T/R = LOW (B→A), output when T/R = HIGH (A→B). |
| 3 (A1) | Side-A Data I/O | Identical behavior to A0; all A0–A7 share same directionality and drive strength (±32mA/±64mA). |
| 4 (A2) | Side-A Data I/O | Same timing and voltage tolerance as A0–A7; no internal pull-up or bushold. |
| 5 (A3) | Side-A Data I/O | Supports hot-plug operation only when OE and T/R are controlled before VCC stabilization. |
| 6 (A4) | Side-A Data I/O | Compatible with 5V-tolerant inputs; VIH = 2.0V min ensures reliable recognition of 3.3V logic HIGH from upstream drivers. |
| 7 (A5) | Side-A Data I/O | Low input capacitance (4pF) minimizes loading on source clocks or microcontroller GPIOs. |
| 8 (A6) | Side-A Data I/O | Shared VCC and GND with B-side; requires decoupling near pin 20 and pin 10 for noise immunity. |
| 9 (A7) | Side-A Data I/O | Final A-side channel; identical AC/DC specs to A0–A6 per datasheet Table 4 and 5. |
| 10 (GND) | Ground Reference | Primary ground return for all I/O and internal logic; must be low-inductance connection to system plane. |
| 11 (B7) | Side-B Data I/O | B-port outputs include 25Ω series resistance; limits dI/dt to reduce EMI and signal integrity issues on long traces. |
| 12 (B6) | Side-B Data I/O | Lower drive (±12mA) optimized for 5V receiver interfaces; VOL = 0.8V max @ 12mA ensures TTL-compliant LOW. |
| 13 (B5) | Side-B Data I/O | No bushold - unused B pins must be externally terminated to avoid floating inputs and potential oscillation. |
| 14 (B4) | Side-B Data I/O | VI = 0V to 5.5V tolerance allows direct connection to legacy 5V peripherals without external level translation. |
| 15 (B3) | Side-B Data I/O | 25Ω resistor is internal and non-removable; cannot be bypassed or disabled via control pin. |
| 16 (B2) | Side-B Data I/O | Propagation delay asymmetry (tPLH vs tPHL) <0.3ns ensures minimal duty-cycle distortion on clocked data paths. |
| 17 (B1) | Side-B Data I/O | Capacitance CI/O = 8pF - lower than typical 10–12pF for comparable transceivers, improving high-speed signal fidelity. |
| 18 (B0) | Side-B Data I/O | First B-side channel; shares same 25Ω series resistance and DC specs as B1–B7. |
| 19 (T/R) | Transmit/Receive Control | Active-HIGH enables A→B data flow; active-LOW enables B→A; transition must occur only when OE = LOW to avoid bus conflict. |
| 20 (VCC) | Supply Voltage | 3.3V nominal; accepts 2.7–3.6V range; ICCZ = 0.19mA in 3-STATE reduces standby power in idle bus segments. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bidirectional transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 74LVC2245PW | 3.3V-only I/O (no 5V tolerance); 24mA/24mA drive on both ports; no built-in series resistor. | Suitable only in fully 3.3V systems; requires external termination for EMI control on longer traces. | Select when cost and board space are prioritized over 5V interoperability and integrated B-port damping. |
| SN74LVC8T245RHLR | Higher drive (32mA/32mA both sides); 3.3V VCC with 5.5V-tolerant I/O; no internal series resistor. | Requires external 25Ω resistors on B-side if EMI mitigation is needed; wider 3.5mm × 4.5mm QFN package. | Choose for higher current drive and smaller footprint, accepting added BOM and layout complexity for termination. |
Compared with 74LVT2245, the 74LVC2245PW offers lower cost but sacrifices 5V interface capability and integrated B-port damping, while the SN74LVC8T245RHLR provides superior drive strength and modern packaging but shifts termination responsibility to the PCB designer.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for the 74LVT2245SJ?
The 74LVT2245SJ is rated for free-air operating temperatures from –40°C to +85°C, as specified in the Recommended Operating Conditions table. This range supports deployment in industrial control cabinets, outdoor telecom enclosures, and automotive under-hood auxiliary systems where ambient thermal stress is present. All DC and AC electrical characteristics in the datasheet are guaranteed across this full range.
Does the 74LVT2245SJ include bushold circuitry on its inputs?
No, the 74LVT2245SJ does not include bushold circuitry. Bushold is exclusive to the 74LVTH2245 variant. The 74LVT2245SJ requires external pull-up or pull-down resistors on unused A0–A7 and B0–B7 inputs to prevent floating states and potential oscillation. This distinction is explicitly stated in the Features section and General Description of the datasheet.
Can the 25Ω series resistor on the B port of the 74LVT2245SJ be disabled or bypassed?
No, the 25Ω series resistor on each B-port output of the 74LVT2245SJ is permanently integrated into the silicon and cannot be disabled, bypassed, or configured via any control pin or external signal. It is a fixed, non-removable feature intended to dampen edge rates and reduce EMI on 5V-tolerant outputs, as confirmed in the General Description and Features sections.
What is the recommended decoupling strategy for the 74LVT2245SJ?
Place a 0.1µF ceramic capacitor between VCC (pin 20) and GND (pin 10) as close as possible to the device body. For systems with high-frequency switching or multiple transceivers, add a 4.7µF bulk capacitor within 1 inch of the 74LVT2245SJ. Avoid shared vias between decoupling caps and other ICs to maintain low-impedance local supply paths and minimize ground bounce.
Is the 74LVT2245SJ pin-compatible with the 74LVTH2245SJ?
Yes, the 74LVT2245SJ and 74LVTH2245SJ share identical pinout, package (M20D SOP), and functional mapping-including OE, T/R, A0–A7, and B0–B7 assignments. The only functional difference is the presence of bushold on LVTH inputs; all timing, drive strength, and electrical interface specifications remain consistent across both variants for drop-in replacement in non-bushold-required designs.
