Product details
Overview
74LVT245BPW,118 from Nexperia is a 3.3 V octal bidirectional transceiver with direction control (DIR) and 3-state output enable (OE), designed for high-speed bus interface between 3.3 V logic domains and 5 V-tolerant systems. It features bus-hold inputs eliminating external pull-ups, ±64 mA/–32 mA drive capability, and operates from –40 °C to +85 °C in TSSOP20 package. Used in memory expansion, FPGA I/O bridging, and industrial controller backplanes.
For engineers reviewing the 74LVT245BPW,118 datasheet, 74LVT245BPW,118 pinout, 74LVT245BPW,118 application, or 74LVT245BPW,118 equivalent, key selection criteria include 5.5 V overvoltage-tolerant inputs, bi-directional data flow control via DIR, 3-state timing (tPZH/tPLZ ≤ 5.5 ns at 3.3 V), bus-hold functionality, and JEDEC JESD8C compliance for 2.7–3.6 V operation.
Technical Context
The 74LVT245BPW implements BiCMOS logic architecture enabling TTL-level compatibility and high-speed switching with low propagation delay (tPLH/tPHL ≤ 3.5 ns at 3.3 V). Its DIR pin selects data flow direction between A- and B-buses, while OE (active LOW) controls 3-state output disable with power-down leakage < ±100 μA.
Bus-hold circuitry maintains stable logic states on unused inputs without external resistors, and IOFF protection ensures minimal leakage during partial power-down. Input clamping supports up to 7.0 V, allowing safe interfacing with 5 V buses while powered from 3.3 V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 2.7 V to 3.6 V - Ensures robust operation across industrial voltage tolerances and brown-out conditions. |
| Input Voltage Range | 0 V to 5.5 V - Enables direct connection to 5 V logic without level shifters. |
| Output Drive | +64 mA / –32 mA - Supports driving heavy capacitive loads and multiple CMOS/TTL inputs. |
| Propagation Delay | 1.2 ns (typ) to 3.5 ns (max) - Meets high-speed synchronous bus timing budgets (e.g., PCI-X, legacy ISA). |
| Bus-Hold Current | ±75 μA to ±150 μA - Maintains defined logic state on floating inputs without external biasing. |
| IOFF Leakage | ±100 μA max at VCC = 0 V - Prevents back-powering of powered-down sections in hot-swap systems. |
| Operating Temperature | –40 °C to +85 °C - Qualified for industrial and extended commercial environments. |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP20 package (SOT360-1): 20-pin plastic thin shrink small outline, 4.4 mm body width, 0.65 mm pitch, exposed thermal pad (non-soldered by default).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | DIR | Direction control input: LOW enables A→B transfer; HIGH enables B→A transfer. |
| 2–9 | A0–A7 | Port A data I/O terminals - connect to local bus or controller side. |
| 10 | GND | Ground reference (0 V) - mandatory for signal integrity and ESD path. |
| 11–18 | B7–B0 | Port B data I/O terminals - connect to remote bus or peripheral side (reversed order per pinout diagram). |
| 19 | OE | Active-LOW output enable - HIGH forces all outputs into high-impedance OFF-state. |
| 20 | VCC | 3.3 V supply input - must be decoupled locally with 100 nF ceramic capacitor. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Overvoltage-tolerant inputs | Withstands up to 5.5 V regardless of VCC - eliminates need for external clamping diodes when interfacing with 5 V systems. |
| Bus-hold inputs | Internal weak keepers on all data pins - prevents floating inputs and system lockup without external pull-up/down resistors. |
| Live insertion/extraction support | IOFF circuitry limits leakage to ±100 μA when VCC = 0 V - enables safe hot-plug operation in modular backplanes. |
| BiCMOS output stage | Combines bipolar speed and CMOS low static power - achieves 3.5 ns max propagation delay with 0.19 mA typical ICC. |
| JEDEC JESD8C compliance | Validated for 2.7–3.6 V operation - guarantees interoperability with other LVT-family devices in mixed-voltage designs. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC245APWR | Lower drive (+24 mA/–24 mA); 1.65–3.6 V supply; no bus-hold; 5 V tolerant only with external resistor network. | Suitable for low-power, cost-sensitive consumer designs where bus-hold and high drive are not required. | Select when minimizing quiescent current (< 10 μA) is critical and system uses only 3.3 V peripherals. |
| 74ALVCH16245PAG | 16-bit (dual-octal); 1.65–3.6 V; higher speed (tPD ≤ 2.8 ns); no bus-hold; requires external pull-ups. | Used in high-density memory interfaces requiring wider bus width and tighter timing closure. | Choose for 16-bit parallel paths where board space allows larger TSSOP-48 and additional decoupling is acceptable. |
Compared with SN74LVC245APWR and 74ALVCH16245PAG, the 74LVT245BPW offers superior drive strength, integrated bus-hold, and guaranteed 5.5 V input tolerance - making it optimal for industrial backplanes and mixed-voltage FPGA interconnects where reliability and reduced external components are prioritized.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage the 74LVT245BPW,118 can tolerate?
The device accepts input voltages up to +7.0 V (absolute maximum) and is rated for sustained operation at up to +5.5 V - enabling direct connection to 5 V buses without external clamping. This overvoltage tolerance is maintained across the full –40 °C to +85 °C operating range and does not require VCC to be present.
Does the 74LVT245BPW,118 require external pull-up resistors on unused inputs?
No. The device integrates bus-hold circuitry on all A and B port inputs, providing ±75 μA to ±150 μA holding current to maintain valid logic states on floating pins. This eliminates the need for external pull-up or pull-down resistors, reducing BOM count and PCB layout complexity.
Can the 74LVT245BPW,118 be used in hot-swap applications?
Yes. Its IOFF circuitry limits power-off leakage to ±100 μA when VCC = 0 V, and it supports live insertion/extraction per JEDEC standards. Combined with bus-hold and 3-state control, this enables safe module replacement in powered backplanes without disrupting adjacent slots.
What is the propagation delay behavior when switching between 3-state and active output modes?
tPZH (OFF-to-HIGH) and tPZL (OFF-to-LOW) are specified at ≤ 5.5 ns (max) at VCC = 3.3 V. These delays govern how quickly the output responds after OE transitions from HIGH to LOW, directly impacting bus arbitration timing and setup/hold windows in synchronous protocols.
