Product details
Overview
74LVT245D,118 from Nexperia is an octal 3-state bidirectional transceiver with direction control (DIR) and output enable (OE), designed for 3.3 V bus interface applications. It features ±64 mA/–32 mA drive strength, 5.5 V overvoltage-tolerant inputs, bus-hold inputs eliminating external pull-ups, and operates from –40 °C to +85 °C. Used in backplane data routing between 3.3 V logic domains and legacy 5 V buses.
For engineers reviewing the 74LVT245D,118 datasheet, 74LVT245D,118 pinout, 74LVT245D,118 application, or 74LVT245D,118 equivalent, key selection criteria include 3-state timing (tPLZ ≤ 4.8 ns), IOFF power-down capability, JEDEC JESD8C compliance (2.7–3.6 V), and SO20 package compatibility with legacy PCB footprints.
Technical Context
This BiCMOS transceiver implements dual-bus bidirectional data flow controlled by DIR (active-HIGH for A→B, active-LOW for B→A) and OE (active-LOW). Its IOFF circuitry ensures no current leakage when VCC = 0 V, enabling live insertion/extraction in hot-swap systems.
Bus-hold inputs maintain valid logic states on unused A/B pins without external resistors, while overvoltage tolerance up to 5.5 V allows direct interfacing with TTL-level signals. Propagation delays are specified at 2.7 V and 3.3 V, with tPLH/tPHL ≤ 4.0 ns (VCC = 3.3 V).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 2.7 V to 3.6 V - Ensures compatibility with 3.3 V systems while tolerating rail droop during transient load conditions. |
| Input Voltage Range | 0 V to 5.5 V - Enables direct connection to 5 V TTL buses without level-shifting components. |
| Output Drive | +64 mA / –32 mA - Supports driving heavy capacitive loads (e.g., >50 pF traces) and fan-out to multiple CMOS inputs. |
| Propagation Delay | tPLH/tPHL ≤ 4.0 ns @ 3.3 V - Meets high-speed synchronous bus timing budgets up to ~100 MHz clock domains. |
| Bus-Hold Current | IBHL = 75–150 μA, IBHH = –150 to –75 μA - Actively maintains input state with <150 μA static current, eliminating need for 10 kΩ pull-up/down resistors. |
| IOFF Leakage | ±100 μA @ VCC = 0 V - Prevents back-driving of powered-down buses during partial system power-down sequences. |
| ESD Rating | HBM > 2000 V, CDM > 1000 V - Satisfies industrial IEC 61000-4-2 immunity requirements without additional protection circuitry. |
Pinout & Package
74LVT245D,118 uses the SO20 (SOT163-1) plastic small outline package: 20-pin, 7.5 mm body width, 1.27 mm lead pitch, gull-wing leads. Pin 1 index located at top-left corner with notch marking.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (DIR) | Direction control input | HIGH enables A→B data flow; LOW enables B→A - critical for half-duplex bus arbitration in shared-memory interfaces. |
| 2–9 (A0–A7) | Port A data I/O | Bidirectional data terminals with bus-hold - retain last valid logic state when disconnected, preventing floating inputs. |
| 10 (GND) | Ground reference | 0 V return path for all internal logic and output drivers - must be low-impedance to minimize ground bounce during switching. |
| 11–18 (B0–B7) | Port B data I/O | Second bidirectional port with identical bus-hold behavior - supports mirrored interface to separate subsystems (e.g., CPU ↔ peripheral bus). |
| 19 (OE) | Output enable (active LOW) | Drives all A/B outputs to high-impedance when HIGH - enables multi-drop bus sharing and prevents contention during reset. |
| 20 (VCC) | Supply voltage | 3.3 V nominal supply - decoupling capacitor (100 nF) required within 10 mm of pin to suppress switching noise. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Overvoltage-tolerant inputs | Withstands 5.5 V inputs while powered from 3.3 V - eliminates level translators in mixed-voltage backplanes. |
| IOFF partial power-down | Blocks current flow between ports when VCC = 0 V - enables safe hot-plug insertion into live 5 V backplanes. |
| Bus-hold inputs | Maintains logic state on unconnected A/B pins using internal feedback - removes requirement for 10 kΩ external pull resistors per line. |
| Live insertion/extraction support | Guaranteed non-disruptive operation during board insertion into powered systems - validated per JEDEC JESD78 latch-up Class II (>500 mA). |
| 3-state timing control | tPZH/tPHZ ≤ 5.9 ns @ 3.3 V - ensures clean bus release before new driver activation, preventing short-duration bus contention. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC245A (TI) | Lower drive (+32 mA/–32 mA), narrower VCC range (1.65–3.6 V), no bus-hold | Requires external pull resistors; unsuitable for unconnected bus segments | Select when lower power consumption is prioritized over robustness on unterminated buses. |
| 74ALVC245 (Nexperia) | Same pinout, higher speed (tPLH ≤ 3.2 ns), but no 5.5 V overvoltage tolerance | Cannot interface directly with 5 V TTL without external clamping | Choose for pure 3.3 V systems demanding minimal propagation delay and reduced EMI. |
Compared with SN74LVC245A and 74ALVC245, the 74LVT245D,118 uniquely combines 5.5 V input tolerance, bus-hold, and ±64 mA drive - making it optimal for ruggedized 3.3 V/5 V mixed-signal interconnect where reliability outweighs marginal speed gains.

FAQ
Can 74LVT245D,118 operate with a 2.5 V supply?
No. The device is specified only for 2.7 V to 3.6 V operation per JEDEC JESD8C. At 2.5 V, VIH minimum (2.0 V) and VOH performance fall outside guaranteed limits, risking logic misreads and reduced noise margin. Operation below 2.7 V voids parametric guarantees.
Does the SO20 package (SOT163-1) support reflow soldering per JEDEC J-STD-020?
Yes. The 74LVT245D,118 in SO20 package is qualified for standard Pb-free reflow profiles with peak temperature up to 260 °C (per JEDEC J-STD-020D.02), including preheat, soak, and ramp-to-peak phases. Moisture sensitivity level is MSL3.
How does bus-hold functionality behave when both A and B ports are unconnected?
Each A0–A7 and B0–B7 pin has independent bus-hold circuitry. When left floating, each pin retains its last driven logic state (HIGH or LOW) via internal feedback resistors (~100 kΩ), drawing ≤150 μA - no external biasing is needed for either port.
Is DIR pin latched or edge-sensitive?
The DIR pin is level-sensitive, not latched or edge-triggered. Direction changes occur synchronously with DIR voltage transitions while OE is LOW. No internal storage or metastability mitigation is provided - external synchronization logic is required for asynchronous DIR updates.
