Product details
Overview
74LVTH2245DB,118 from Nexperia is an octal 3-state bidirectional transceiver with integrated 30 Ω output termination resistors, designed for 3.3 V bus interface applications. It features direction control (DIR), output enable (OE), bus hold inputs, and overvoltage-tolerant inputs up to 5.5 V. Used in high-speed backplane and motherboard data routing where signal integrity and stub elimination are critical.
For engineers reviewing the 74LVTH2245DB,118 datasheet, 74LVTH2245DB,118 pinout, 74LVTH2245DB,118 application, or 74LVTH2245DB,118 equivalent, this device supports TTL-level interfacing, live insertion, and 2.7 V–3.6 V supply operation - key selection criteria for industrial control backplanes and legacy-to-3.3 V bus bridging.
Technical Context
This transceiver implements a BiCMOS architecture enabling ±12 mA drive strength while maintaining TTL-compatible input thresholds and 5.5 V overvoltage tolerance on all I/O pins. Its bus hold circuitry actively maintains logic states on unused inputs without external pull-ups.
The DIR and OE controls operate independently: DIR selects data flow direction (A→B or B→A), while OE places all outputs in high-impedance state regardless of DIR. Propagation delays are specified down to 1.0 ns (typ) at 3.3 V, supporting >100 MHz bus operation under loaded conditions.
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 accommodating rail tolerance and noise margins |
| Output Drive | ±12 mA - sufficient to drive 50 Ω transmission lines directly without external termination |
| Propagation Delay | 1.0–4.6 ns (typ) - enables reliable operation in high-speed parallel buses up to 100+ MHz |
| Input Voltage Range | 0 V to 5.5 V - allows direct connection to 5 V TTL logic without level shifters |
| Bus Hold Current | ±75 μA to ±150 μA - maintains stable logic states on floating inputs, eliminating need for external biasing |
| Termination Resistors | 30 Ω (integrated) - matches typical PCB trace impedance to reduce reflections in short-haul backplane links |
| IOFF Leakage | ±100 μA at VCC = 0 V - prevents current backflow during partial power-down, protecting powered sections |
Pinout & Package
74LVTH2245DB,118 is packaged in SO20 (SOT163-1), a plastic small outline package with 20 leads and 7.5 mm body width. Pin 1 is marked by a beveled corner or index notch; pin numbering follows standard counter-clockwise convention from pin 1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | DIR | Direction control input: HIGH enables B→A data flow; LOW enables A→B |
| 2–9 | A0–A7 | Port A bidirectional I/Os - connect to local bus or controller side |
| 10 | GND | Ground reference for all internal circuitry and I/O return paths |
| 11–18 | B0–B7 | Port B bidirectional I/Os - connect to remote bus or peripheral side |
| 19 | OE | Active-low output enable: HIGH forces all A/B pins into high-impedance state |
| 20 | VCC | Primary power supply input (2.7–3.6 V); decoupling capacitor required near pin |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated 30 Ω termination | Eliminates need for 16 discrete SMT resistors on board, reducing layout area and BOM count |
| Bus hold inputs | Maintains defined logic state on unconnected A/B pins, preventing metastability and EMI from floating nodes |
| Overvoltage-tolerant I/O | Withstands 5.5 V inputs while powered from 3.3 V, enabling safe interfacing with mixed-voltage systems |
| Live insertion support | IOFF circuitry blocks current flow when VCC = 0 V, allowing hot-swap into powered backplanes |
| Power-up 3-state | Outputs remain in high-impedance until VCC stabilizes above 1.2 V, preventing bus contention at power-on |
Applications
| Backplane Data Routing | Industrial PLC I/O Expansion |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 74LVT2245D,118 | Lacks integrated 30 Ω termination resistors; requires external 33 Ω resistors per line | Suitable only when board space permits discrete termination or when lower cost outweighs layout simplification | Select if termination is already implemented externally or if tighter thermal budget requires lower power dissipation |
| SN74LVC245APWR | CMOS-only process; no bus hold; 24 mA drive; 1.65–3.6 V supply; no overvoltage tolerance | Requires external pull-ups on unused inputs; incompatible with 5 V inputs unless clamped | Choose only for pure 3.3 V systems with full I/O control and no mixed-voltage interaction |
Compared with 74LVTH2245DB,118, the 74LVT2245D,118 reduces component count only if termination is omitted, while SN74LVC245APWR trades robustness for lower static power but loses critical 5 V tolerance and bus hold - making the 74LVTH2245DB,118 uniquely suited for rugged, mixed-signal backplane interfaces.

FAQ
What is the function of the DIR pin on the 74LVTH2245DB,118?
The DIR (direction) pin controls data flow direction between Port A and Port B. When DIR is LOW, data passes from A to B; when DIR is HIGH, data flows from B to A. This bidirectional control operates independently of OE, allowing dynamic reversal of bus traffic without disabling outputs.
Can the 74LVTH2245DB,118 safely interface with 5 V logic inputs?
Yes - all I/O pins are overvoltage tolerant up to 5.5 V, meaning they accept 5 V TTL input signals while operating from a 3.3 V supply. No external level shifters or clamping diodes are required, and the internal protection circuitry limits input current to safe levels per JEDEC standards.
How does the bus hold feature eliminate external pull-up resistors?
The bus hold circuit actively senses the last valid logic state on each A/B input and applies ±75–150 μA feedback current to maintain that state. This holds floating inputs at defined HIGH or LOW levels, preventing oscillation, EMI, and undefined logic states - removing the need for discrete pull-up or pull-down resistors.
Is the 74LVTH2245DB,118 suitable for hot-swap applications?
Yes - its IOFF circuitry ensures negligible leakage current (< ±100 μA) when VCC = 0 V, allowing safe insertion or removal from a live backplane. Combined with power-up 3-state behavior, this prevents bus contention and signal corruption during live maintenance operations.
