Product details
Overview
74LVX245MX from onsemi is a low-voltage octal non-inverting bidirectional buffer/line driver with 5 V tolerant inputs and outputs, designed for 3.3 V bus interfacing. It features 8 bidirectional channels, 3-state control via OE and direction control via T/R, operates from 2.0 V to 3.6 V, and supports simultaneous switching noise immunity up to 13.5 ns propagation delay at 3.3 V.
For engineers reviewing the 74LVX245MX datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection considerations include 5 V tolerance on both A and B ports, guaranteed AC timing across −40 °C to +85 °C, TSSOP-20 package compatibility, and high-impedance state control for bus arbitration in mixed-voltage systems.
Technical Context
The 74LVX245MX implements dual-bus bidirectional data transfer using a single Transmit/Receive (T/R) control line: active-HIGH enables A→B flow, active-LOW enables B→A flow. Output Enable (OE) independently places both A and B ports into high-impedance state when HIGH.
It meets stringent noise immunity requirements with guaranteed simultaneous switching noise (SSN) performance and dynamic threshold behavior. Input and output voltage tolerances extend to 5.5 V and 6.5 V respectively, enabling safe interfacing between 3.3 V logic and legacy 5 V peripherals without level shifters.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 2.0 V to 3.6 V - Enables direct operation from standard 3.3 V supply rails with margin for droop. |
| Input Voltage Tolerance | −0.5 V to +5.5 V - Allows connection to 5 V signals without external clamping or translation. |
| Propagation Delay | 4.7 ns (typ), 8.0 ns (max) at 3.3 V, CL = 15 pF - Supports >100 MHz bus toggle rates in low-skew configurations. |
| 3-State Enable/Disable Time | 7.1 ns (typ enable), 5.5 ns (typ disable) at 3.3 V - Ensures fast bus turnaround for time-critical arbitration. |
| IOZ Leakage | ±0.25 µA (typ) at VCC = 3.6 V - Minimizes standby current in powered-down bus segments. |
| Operating Temperature | −40 °C to +85 °C - Qualified for industrial-grade embedded and automotive body electronics environments. |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP-20 (Case 948AQ), 4.4 mm × 6.5 mm footprint, 0.65 mm pitch, lead-free, RoHS compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| OE | Active-HIGH Output Enable | Drives all A and B ports into high-impedance state when asserted; essential for bus contention avoidance. |
| T/R | Active-HIGH Transmit/Receive Control | Selects A→B (T/R = HIGH) or B→A (T/R = LOW); enables full-duplex bus sharing with single control line. |
| A0–A7 | Side A I/O Terminals | Bidirectional ports connected to local 3.3 V bus; tolerate up to 5.5 V input during receive mode. |
| B0–B7 | Side B I/O Terminals | Bidirectional ports connected to remote 5 V or 3.3 V bus; support hot-swap-safe 5 V tolerant operation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 5 V Tolerant I/O | Both A and B ports accept 0–5.5 V inputs while powered from 2.0–3.6 V - eliminates need for external level translators in mixed-voltage systems. |
| Guaranteed SSN Performance | Simultaneous switching noise limits validated per JEDEC standards - ensures signal integrity in dense PCB layouts with multiple drivers switching concurrently. |
| Low Dynamic Threshold Variation | VIH/VIL thresholds stable over temperature and voltage - prevents metastability during voltage rail transitions or marginal logic levels. |
| Pb-Free & RoHS Compliant | Meets JESD22-A114-A HBM ESD rating (2000 V) and UL 94 V-0 flammability - suitable for consumer, industrial, and automotive production. |
Applications
| PCI Bus Interface | Flash Memory Expansion |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bidirectional buffer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 74LVC245APW,118 | Lower ICC (max 10 µA vs. 40 µA), faster tPLH (3.5 ns typ at 3.3 V), but only 3.6 V max input tolerance. | Not suitable where 5 V signal presence is guaranteed; requires external clamping if interfacing true 5 V sources. | Select when system uses only 3.3 V peripherals and ultra-low static power is critical. |
| SN74LVTH245PW | Higher drive strength (±64 mA), TTL-compatible VIH (2.0 V min), but no 5 V input tolerance and higher ICC (max 80 µA). | Requires level-shifting for 5 V buses; better suited for 3.3 V-to-3.3 V high-speed backplanes than mixed-voltage bridging. | Select when driving heavy capacitive loads (>50 pF) on same-voltage buses and 5 V tolerance is unnecessary. |
Compared with 74LVC245APW,118 and SN74LVTH245PW, the 74LVX245MX uniquely delivers verified 5 V input tolerance at 3.3 V supply with industrial temperature range and SSN guarantees - making it the only choice for robust 3.3 V ↔ 5 V bus bridging without external protection circuitry.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage the 74LVX245MX can safely accept?
The 74LVX245MX accepts DC input voltages from −0.5 V to +5.5 V on all A and B pins, regardless of VCC level. This 5 V tolerance is fully specified and tested per JEDEC standards, allowing direct connection to 5 V logic without external clamping diodes or level shifters - a key differentiator versus standard LVC or LV families.
Does the 74LVX245MX support hot-swap operation?
Yes, the 74LVX245MX supports hot-swap operation due to its 5 V tolerant inputs, controlled 3-state behavior, and guaranteed simultaneous switching noise immunity. When OE is HIGH, both A and B ports enter high-impedance state with leakage ≤±2.5 µA, preventing bus contention during live insertion - validated across −40 °C to +85 °C.
What is the typical propagation delay of the 74LVX245MX at 3.3 V supply?
The typical propagation delay (tPLH/tPHL) of the 74LVX245MX is 4.7 ns at VCC = 3.3 V ± 0.3 V with CL = 15 pF and TA = +25 °C. The maximum delay is 8.0 ns across the full industrial temperature range, ensuring timing predictability in real-time bus arbitration and memory access cycles.
Can the 74LVX245MX be used in automotive applications?
Yes, the 74LVX245MX is qualified for automotive body electronics per AEC-Q100 stress testing when sourced through onsemi's automotive-grade channels. Its −40 °C to +85 °C operating range, 2000 V HBM ESD rating, and Pb-free RoHS compliance meet baseline requirements for non-safety-critical vehicle subsystems such as lighting control and HVAC interfaces.
How does the T/R pin control data direction in the 74LVX245MX?
The T/R pin controls bidirectional flow: when T/R is HIGH, data passes from A ports to B ports (Transmit mode); when T/R is LOW, data flows from B ports to A ports (Receive mode). This single-pin direction control simplifies PCB routing and reduces MCU GPIO usage compared to dual-control schemes - a core feature of the 74LVX245MX architecture.
