Product details
Overview
74LVT245PW,118 from Nexperia is an 8-bit bidirectional 3-state transceiver with independent direction (DIR) and output enable (OE) control, operating from 2.7 V to 3.6 V supply. It features bus-hold inputs eliminating external pull-ups, overvoltage-tolerant inputs up to 5.5 V, and ±64 mA/–32 mA output drive. Used in 3.3 V system-level bus interfacing between microcontrollers and peripheral ICs.
For engineers reviewing the 74LVT245PW,118 datasheet, 74LVT245PW,118 pinout, 74LVT245PW,118 application, or 74LVT245PW,118 equivalent, key selection criteria include bidirectional data flow control, 3-state timing (tPLZ ≤ 4.8 ns), bus-hold functionality, and TSSOP20 package compatibility with high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The device implements a BiCMOS octal transceiver architecture with separate DIR and OE inputs enabling precise control of data direction and bus isolation. Its IOFF circuitry ensures partial power-down operation when VCC = 0 V, and bus-hold inputs maintain valid logic states on unused A/B pins without external biasing.
It supports live insertion/extraction and direct TTL-level interfacing while tolerating 5.5 V inputs - critical for mixed-voltage domain bridging. Propagation delays are specified at 1.0–4.0 ns (tPLH/tPHL) and 2.0–5.9 ns (tPLZ/tPHZ) under 3.3 V ±0.3 V conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 2.7 V to 3.6 V - enables stable operation across industrial-grade 3.3 V rails with ±0.3 V margin. |
| Input Voltage Range | 0 V to 5.5 V - allows safe connection to 5 V buses without level-shifting circuitry. |
| Output Drive | +64 mA / –32 mA - supports driving heavy capacitive loads or multiple TTL inputs directly. |
| Propagation Delay | tPLH/tPHL ≤ 4.0 ns @ 3.3 V - ensures sub-5 ns signal routing for high-speed synchronous bus transfers. |
| Bus-Hold Current | IBHL = 75–150 μA, IBHH = –150 to –75 μA - actively maintains input state without external resistors. |
| ESD Protection | HBM > 2000 V, CDM > 1000 V - meets JEDEC JS-001/JS-002 Class 2/C3 for robust board handling. |
| Operating Temperature | –40 °C to +85 °C - qualified for industrial ambient environments without derating. |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP20 plastic thin shrink small outline package (SOT360-1); 20-pin surface-mount with 0.65 mm pitch, 4.4 mm body width, and exposed thermal pad (non-soldered by default).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (DIR) | Direction control input | LOW = A→B data flow; HIGH = B→A; determines real-time bus directionality. |
| 2–9 (A0–A7) | Port A data I/O | Bidirectional data terminals with bus-hold; connect to controller-side bus. |
| 10 (GND) | Ground reference | 0 V return path for all internal logic and I/O; must be low-impedance. |
| 11–18 (B0–B7) | Port B data I/O | Bidirectional data terminals with bus-hold; connect to peripheral-side bus. |
| 19 (OE) | Output enable (active LOW) | Drives all A/B outputs to high-impedance when HIGH; enables bus sharing. |
| 20 (VCC) | Supply voltage | Primary 3.3 V power rail; decoupling capacitor required within 1 cm. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Overvoltage-tolerant inputs | Withstands 5.5 V inputs while powered from 3.3 V - eliminates need for external clamping diodes. |
| IOFF partial power-down | Prevents current backflow when VCC = 0 V - enables hot-plug capability in modular systems. |
| Bus-hold inputs | Retains last-valid logic state on floating A/B pins - removes requirement for 10 kΩ pull-up/down resistors. |
| Live insertion/extraction support | Guaranteed no latch-up or damage during board insertion - validated per JESD78 Class II (>500 mA). |
| Power-up 3-state | Outputs remain high-impedance until VCC stabilizes - prevents bus contention during power sequencing. |
Applications
| Industrial PLC Backplane Interface | Embedded Microcontroller Expansion Bus |

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), narrower VCC range (1.65–3.6 V), no bus-hold | Requires external pull-ups; unsuitable for floating-bus scenarios | Select only if lower power and cost outweigh bus-hold dependency |
| 74ALVC245PW,118 | Same package, higher speed (tPLH ≤ 3.2 ns), but no overvoltage tolerance (max VI = VCC + 0.3 V) | Cannot interface directly with 5 V peripherals without level shifters | Choose when maximum speed is critical and all connected devices are 3.3 V only |
Compared with SN74LVC245APWR and 74ALVC245PW,118, the 74LVT245PW,118 uniquely combines 5.5 V input tolerance, integrated bus-hold, and ±64 mA drive - making it the sole option for robust, mixed-voltage, high-drive industrial bus bridging without added passives.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage the 74LVT245PW,118 can tolerate while powered at 3.3 V?
The device accepts input voltages up to 5.5 V regardless of VCC level - verified per datasheet Table 4 (VI max = 7.0 V with clamp current observed). This overvoltage tolerance enables direct interfacing with 5 V peripherals without level-shifting circuitry, and is implemented via internal clamping diodes rated for ±50 mA.
Does the 74LVT245PW,118 require external pull-up resistors on unused inputs?
No. The device integrates bus-hold circuitry on all A/B data pins, providing active current-based logic state retention (IBHL = 75–150 μA, IBHH = –150 to –75 μA). This eliminates the need for external pull-up or pull-down resistors on floating inputs, reducing BOM count and PCB area in high-pin-count interfaces.
How does the IOFF feature function during power-down sequences?
When VCC = 0 V, the IOFF circuitry disables all I/O paths, limiting power-off leakage current to ±100 μA (per datasheet Table 6). This prevents back-driving of powered subsystems and enables safe hot-swap operation - critical for modular test equipment and field-replaceable units where boards may be inserted while system power remains active.
Can the 74LVT245PW,118 be used in automotive applications?
No. The 74LVT245PW,118 is not AEC-Q100 qualified and lacks automotive-specific validation (e.g., extended temperature testing beyond +85 °C, enhanced ESD robustness, or zero-defect screening). Nexperia explicitly states non-automotive qualification in Section 14 of the datasheet; use requires full customer responsibility for qualification and risk assumption.
