Product details
Overview
74LVT2245WM from Fairchild Semiconductor is a low-voltage octal bidirectional transceiver with 3-STATE inputs/outputs, 25Ω series resistors on B-port outputs, ±32mA/±64mA A-port drive capability, and 2.7–3.6V supply operation. It enables bidirectional data flow between 3.3V buses and 5V TTL systems in memory expansion and bus isolation applications.
For engineers reviewing the 74LVT2245WM datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include direction control (T/R), output enable (OE), A/B port current asymmetry, 25Ω B-port series termination, and SOIC-20 package compatibility with JEDEC MS-013.
Technical Context
The 74LVT2245WM implements an octal non-inverting bidirectional buffer architecture with independent Transmit/Receive (T/R) and Output Enable (OE) controls. Data flows from A to B when T/R = HIGH and OE = LOW; from B to A when T/R = LOW and OE = LOW; both ports enter high-impedance state when OE = HIGH.
It uses advanced BiCMOS technology to achieve ABT-class speed at 3.3V while maintaining low power. The integrated 25Ω series resistor on each B-port output reduces switching overshoot/undershoot without external components, and its 5V-tolerant inputs allow direct interfacing with legacy TTL logic.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 2.7V–3.6V - Operates within standard 3.3V rail tolerance; supports mixed-voltage system interconnect. |
| A-Port Drive Current | –32mA/+64mA - Sinks 64mA or sources 32mA per A-pin, enabling robust driving of heavy capacitive loads or multiple TTL inputs. |
| B-Port Drive Current | –12mA/+12mA - Lower drive strength with built-in 25Ω series resistance for controlled edge rates and reduced EMI. |
| Propagation Delay | 1.2–4.4ns (A→B), 1.2–5.1ns (B→A) - Sub-5ns timing ensures compatibility with high-speed 33MHz+ parallel buses. |
| Input Voltage Range | 0–5.5V - 5V-tolerant inputs permit direct connection to 5V TTL logic without level shifters. |
| 3-STATE Leakage | ±5µA max - Minimal off-state current preserves signal integrity and reduces bus contention risk during disable. |
Pinout & Package
74LVT2245WM is housed in a 20-lead Small Outline Integrated Circuit (SOIC) package per JEDEC MS-013, 0.300" wide, with standard gull-wing leads and 1.27mm pitch.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (OE) | Output Enable Input | Active-HIGH control disabling both A and B ports into high-impedance state; enables bus sharing across multiple devices. |
| 2–9 (A0–A7) | Side A I/O Terminals | Bidirectional data pins with ±32mA/+64mA drive; connect to local 3.3V bus or controller side. |
| 10 (GND) | Ground Reference | Primary ground return for all internal circuitry and I/O paths; must be low-inductance connection. |
| 11–18 (B0–B7) | Side B I/O Terminals | Bidirectional data pins with ±12mA drive and integrated 25Ω series resistor; interface to 5V TTL or noise-sensitive lines. |
| 19 (T/R) | Transmit/Receive Control | Active-HIGH enables A→B data flow; active-LOW enables B→A flow; determines real-time bus directionality. |
| 20 (VCC) | Power Supply | 3.3V supply input; decoupling capacitor required near pin to suppress switching noise and ensure stable operation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 25Ω B-port series termination | Reduces output ringing and EMI without external resistors, simplifying PCB layout and improving signal integrity on long traces. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bidirectional transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC2245APWR | No built-in 25Ω B-port termination; 3.3V-only I/O; ±24mA drive on both ports. | Suitable only in fully 3.3V systems with external termination; lacks 5V-tolerance for legacy interfacing. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs 5V interface needs and board layout allows discrete 25Ω resistors. |
| 74LVTH2245WM | Includes bushold inputs (eliminates pull-ups on unused pins); otherwise identical pinout, timing, and drive specs. | Better for systems with floating control lines or partial bus usage where input stability is critical. | Choose 74LVTH2245WM if unused A/B inputs may float; otherwise 74LVT2245WM offers same performance at lower unit cost. |
Compared with SN74LVC2245APWR and 74LVTH2245WM, the 74LVT2245WM uniquely combines 5V-tolerant inputs, asymmetric A/B port drive, and integrated B-port termination-making it optimal for mixed-voltage bus bridging where signal integrity and legacy compatibility are primary concerns.

FAQ
What is the function of the T/R pin on the 74LVT2245WM?
The T/R (Transmit/Receive) pin on the 74LVT2245WM controls data direction: when HIGH, it enables unidirectional data flow from A-port to B-port; when LOW, it enables flow from B-port to A-port. This real-time direction select allows dynamic bus arbitration without external logic, and is essential for implementing half-duplex communication protocols in systems using the 74LVT2245WM.
Does the 74LVT2245WM support live insertion?
Yes, the 74LVT2245WM supports live insertion and extraction due to its power-up/down high-impedance feature. During power transitions, both A and B ports remain in a high-impedance state until VCC stabilizes, preventing bus contention or signal corruption. This makes the 74LVT2245WM suitable for hot-pluggable modules in industrial backplanes and modular test equipment where the 74LVT2245WM is used for signal routing.
What is the purpose of the 25Ω series resistor on the B-port outputs of the 74LVT2245WM?
The 25Ω series resistor integrated into each B-port output of the 74LVT2245WM dampens signal edges to reduce overshoot, undershoot, and ringing on transmission lines-especially beneficial when driving longer traces or unterminated 5V buses. This eliminates the need for external series resistors, saving PCB area and assembly cost while improving signal integrity in applications like memory expansion where the 74LVT2245WM bridges voltage domains.
Can the 74LVT2245WM interface directly with 5V TTL logic?
Yes, the 74LVT2245WM features 5V-tolerant inputs (VI up to 5.5V) and can accept 5V TTL logic levels on both A and B ports while operating from a 3.3V supply. Its outputs also drive 5V TTL inputs reliably due to VOH ≥ 2.0V at –12mA (B-port) and ≥ 2.4V at –8mA (A-port). This direct interoperability is a core design feature of the 74LVT2245WM for mixed-voltage system integration.
How does the 74LVT2245WM differ from the 74LVTH2245WM?
The 74LVT2245WM and 74LVTH2245WM share identical pinout, timing, drive strength, and 25Ω B-port termination-but the 74LVTH2245WM adds bushold circuitry on all data inputs to maintain logic state when unused, eliminating external pull-up resistors. The 74LVT2245WM lacks bushold, making it slightly lower-cost where all inputs are actively driven. Both are drop-in replacements except where floating inputs require stabilization in the 74LVT2245WM application.
