Product details
Overview
74LVT245BD,118 from Nexperia is an 8-bit bidirectional 3-state transceiver with independent direction (DIR) and output enable (OE) controls, designed for 3.3 V bus interface between mixed-voltage systems. It supports 2.7 V to 3.6 V supply, tolerates 5.5 V inputs, delivers ±64 mA/±32 mA drive, and operates from –40 °C to +85 °C - used in FPGA-to-ASIC data bridging, memory expansion buses, and industrial PLC backplanes.
For engineers reviewing the 74LVT245BD,118 datasheet, 74LVT245BD,118 pinout, 74LVT245BD,118 application, or 74LVT245BD,118 equivalent, key selection criteria include its bus-hold inputs eliminating pull-ups, IOFF partial power-down capability, live insertion support, and 3.5 ns typical propagation delay at 3.3 V - critical for high-speed synchronous bus isolation and level translation.
Technical Context
The 74LVT245BD,118 implements a BiCMOS octal transceiver architecture with separate DIR and active-low OE inputs enabling precise control of data flow direction and bus release timing. Its bus-hold circuitry maintains valid logic states on unused A/B pins without external resistors, and IOFF protection ensures minimal leakage when VCC = 0 V.
It features overvoltage-tolerant inputs (up to 5.5 V), direct TTL-level compatibility, and dynamic performance validated at 3.3 V ± 0.3 V: tPLH/tPHL ≤ 3.5 ns, tPZH/tPHZ ≤ 5.9 ns, and tPZL/tPLZ ≤ 5.5 ns - supporting 10 MHz+ bus operation under recommended conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 2.7 V to 3.6 V - enables stable operation across industrial 3.3 V rail tolerances and brown-out resilience. |
| Input Voltage Range | 0 V to 5.5 V - allows direct connection to 5 V legacy peripherals without level shifters. |
| Output Drive | +64 mA sink / –32 mA source - drives heavy capacitive loads (e.g., >50 pF traces) and multiple TTL inputs. |
| Propagation Delay | ≤3.5 ns (tPLH/tPHL @ 3.3 V) - supports sub-100 MHz synchronous bus timing margins. |
| Bus-Hold Current | IBHL = 75–150 μA (LOW), IBHH = –150 to –75 μA (HIGH) - actively retains logic state on floating inputs. |
| IOFF Leakage | ±100 μA @ VCC = 0 V - prevents back-powering or signal corruption during hot-swap or power sequencing. |
| Operating Temperature | –40 °C to +85 °C - qualified for industrial control, telecom infrastructure, and embedded computing environments. |
Pinout & Package
74LVT245BD,118 is packaged in SO20 (SOT163-1): plastic small outline, 20-pin, 7.5 mm body width, with standard 1.27 mm lead pitch and pin 1 index marker.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | DIR | Direction control: LOW = A→B, HIGH = B→A - enables full-duplex bus arbitration in shared-memory systems. |
| 2–9 | A0–A7 | Port A data I/O - connects to microcontroller or FPGA local bus; bus-hold enabled by default. |
| 10 | GND | Ground reference (0 V) - decoupling capacitor placement adjacent to pin 10 improves noise immunity. |
| 11–18 | B0–B7 | Port B data I/O - interfaces to peripheral bus or memory subsystem; tolerant of 5.5 V inputs. |
| 19 | OE | Active-low output enable - asserts high-impedance state on both ports simultaneously for bus sharing. |
| 20 | VCC | 3.3 V supply input - requires local 100 nF ceramic decoupling; supports IOFF during power-down. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Bus-hold inputs | Eliminates need for 10 kΩ external pull-up/pull-down resistors on A/B ports - reduces BOM count and PCB area. |
| Overvoltage-tolerant inputs | Withstands 5.5 V on A/B/DIR/OE while powered from 3.3 V - enables safe interfacing with 5 V logic without translators. |
| IOFF partial power-down | Blocks current flow between ports when VCC = 0 V - essential for live insertion/extraction in modular backplanes. |
| BiCMOS output stage | Combines bipolar speed and CMOS low static power - achieves 3.5 ns propagation with <0.2 mA ICC (disabled). |
| ESD robustness | HBM >2000 V, MM >200 V - meets industrial handling requirements without additional protection circuitry. |
Applications
| Industrial PLC Backplane Interface | FPGA-to-ASIC Data Bridge |

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by the 74LVT245BD,118?
The device does not operate on a clock; it is asynchronous. Its 3.5 ns typical propagation delay at 3.3 V enables reliable use in 10 MHz+ parallel bus systems with proper setup/hold timing. Maximum usable frequency depends on total bus capacitance, drive strength, and board layout - verified up to 25 MHz in 50 pF load configurations per Nexperia application notes.
Can the 74LVT245BD,118 be used to interface a 3.3 V microcontroller with a 5 V sensor?
Yes - its inputs tolerate up to 5.5 V regardless of VCC level, allowing direct connection of 5 V sensor outputs to A/B/DIR/OE pins while powered from 3.3 V. Outputs swing rail-to-rail (0 V to VCC), so external pull-ups are required if the sensor needs 5 V logic-high recognition.
Does the 74LVT245BD,118 require external pull-up resistors on unused inputs?
No - bus-hold circuitry actively maintains the last-valid logic state on all A/B port inputs, eliminating the need for external pull-up or pull-down resistors. This reduces component count, PCB space, and potential noise coupling from resistor networks.
Is the SO20 package (SOT163-1) of the 74LVT245BD,118 RoHS compliant and lead-free?
Yes - Nexperia confirms the 74LVT245BD,118 in SOT163-1 packaging meets RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and is lead-free (Pb-free) with matte tin finish on leads. The device carries the "RoHS-compliant" marking on reel labels and datasheet ordering information table.
