Product details
Overview
74LVX245SJX 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 interface applications. It features 20-pin TSSOP packaging, ±25 mA output drive per pin, 3.6 V max supply voltage, and operates across −40 °C to +85 °C.
For engineers reviewing the 74LVX245SJX datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection considerations include bidirectional data flow control via T/R input, 3-state output enable (OE), 5 V tolerance on both A and B ports, and simultaneous switching noise performance validated per JEDEC standards.
Technical Context
The 74LVX245SJX implements an octal bidirectional transceiver architecture where direction is controlled by the active-HIGH Transmit/Receive (T/R) signal: HIGH enables A→B data flow, LOW enables B→A. Output Enable (OE) independently places both port sides in high-impedance state when HIGH.
It supports mixed-voltage interfacing between 3.3 V logic domains and legacy 5 V systems, with guaranteed DC input/output voltage tolerance up to 6.5 V absolute maximum ratings and validated dynamic noise immunity at 3.3 V operation with 50 pF load.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage (VCC) | 2.0 V to 3.6 V - Enables direct integration into 3.3 V systems without level-shifting circuitry |
| Input/Output Voltage Tolerance | −0.5 V to +6.5 V - Allows safe connection to 5 V buses while powered from 3.3 V |
| Propagation Delay (tPLH/tPHL) | 4.7 ns typ @ 3.3 V, CL = 15 pF - Supports high-speed bus timing in compact PCB layouts |
| Output Drive Strength | ±4 mA @ VOL = 0.44 V - Sufficient for driving standard CMOS loads with margin |
| 3-State Enable/Disable Time | 7.1 ns typ (enable), 5.5 ns typ (disable) @ 3.3 V - Minimizes bus contention during direction switching |
| Operating Temperature | −40 °C to +85 °C - Qualified for industrial-grade embedded and automotive body electronics |
| Package | TSSOP-20 (4.4 mm × 6.5 mm) - Surface-mount footprint compatible with automated assembly and space-constrained designs |
Pinout & Package
74LVX245SJX is housed in a 20-pin Thin Shrink Small Outline Package (TSSOP-20), case outline 948AQ, with 0.65 mm lead pitch and JEDEC MO-153 compliance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (OE) | Output Enable Input | Active-HIGH control: asserts high-impedance on all A and B ports simultaneously |
| 2 (T/R) | Transmit/Receive Direction Control | Active-HIGH enables A→B data flow; active-LOW enables B→A - critical for bidirectional bus arbitration |
| 3–10 (A0–A7) | Side A I/O Terminals | Bidirectional ports: inputs when receiving, 3-state outputs when transmitting - tied to local 3.3 V domain |
| 11 (GND) | Ground Reference | Common return path for all internal logic and I/O circuits |
| 12–19 (B0–B7) | Side B I/O Terminals | Bidirectional ports: inputs when transmitting, 3-state outputs when receiving - tolerate up to 5 V signals |
| 20 (VCC) | Power Supply | 3.3 V nominal supply; supports operation down to 2.0 V for low-power modes |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 5 V Tolerant I/O | Inputs and outputs withstand up to 6.5 V absolute max - eliminates external clamping diodes when interfacing with 5 V peripherals |
| Guaranteed Simultaneous Switching Noise (SSN) | Validated dynamic peak/valley VOL ≤ 0.8 V @ 3.3 V, 50 pF - ensures signal integrity during multi-bit transitions |
| Pb-Free, Halogen-Free/BFR-Free | RoHS-compliant construction with UL 94 V-0 flammability rating - meets global environmental and safety requirements |
| Low Quiescent Current | ICC ≤ 40 µA max @ 3.6 V - reduces standby power in battery-backed or always-on subsystems |
| Dynamic Input Threshold Validation | VIHD ≥ 2.0 V and VILD ≤ 0.8 V @ 3.3 V - guarantees reliable logic-level recognition under fast edge rates |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bidirectional buffer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC245APWR | Lower propagation delay (3.8 ns typ), but only 3.6 V max I/O tolerance - no 5 V tolerance guarantee | Requires external clamping for 5 V bus connections; unsuitable for direct 5 V interface without protection | Select when operating exclusively in 3.3 V-only systems and sub-5 ns timing is critical |
| 74ALVC245MTCX | Higher drive strength (±24 mA), same 5 V tolerance, but wider operating range (1.65–3.6 V) | Supports ultra-low-voltage operation down to 1.65 V - useful for battery-powered sleep modes | Select when system must operate below 2.0 V or requires higher sink/source current than LVX series |
Compared with SN74LVC245APWR and 74ALVC245MTCX, the 74LVX245SJX uniquely balances 5 V tolerance, industrial temperature range, and proven SSN performance - making it optimal for mixed-voltage industrial and automotive bus interfaces where reliability under dynamic noise is prioritized over raw speed or ultra-low-VCC operation.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage for the 74LVX245SJX?
The 74LVX245SJX has an absolute maximum DC supply voltage (VCC) rating of +6.5 V, but its recommended operating range is 2.0 V to 3.6 V. Operation above 3.6 V may cause excessive power dissipation or parametric deviation, and is not guaranteed for functional reliability. The device is optimized for 3.3 V systems, and exceeding 3.6 V voids operational specifications per the onsemi datasheet Rev. 2.
Does the 74LVX245SJX support true 5 V logic interfacing?
Yes, the 74LVX245SJX supports true 5 V logic interfacing: both A and B port inputs and outputs are rated for −0.5 V to +6.5 V, with guaranteed functionality up to 5.5 V input voltage and VCC-referenced output swing. This allows direct connection to 5 V TTL/CMOS buses without external level shifters, confirmed by DC electrical characteristics tables and noise immunity testing at 3.3 V supply with 5 V signals.
How does the T/R pin control data direction in the 74LVX245SJX?
In the 74LVX245SJX, the T/R pin is an active-HIGH direction control: when T/R = HIGH, data flows from A ports to B ports; when T/R = LOW, data flows from B ports to A ports. This bidirectional control is independent of OE, and the truth table confirms that OE = HIGH forces all ports into high-impedance regardless of T/R state - enabling clean bus arbitration in shared-memory or peripheral interface designs.
What is the thermal resistance (θJA) of the 74LVX245SJX in its TSSOP-20 package?
The 74LVX245SJX in TSSOP-20 (case 948AQ) has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) of 150 °C/W, measured per JESD51-7 on a 76 mm × 114 mm FR4 board with 2-ounce copper and no airflow. This value assumes minimum pad spacing and defines the worst-case thermal performance for layout planning - actual θJA improves with enhanced copper pour or thermal vias.
Is the 74LVX245SJX RoHS compliant and halogen-free?
Yes, the 74LVX245SJX is RoHS compliant, Pb-free, and halogen-free/BFR-free as explicitly stated in the onsemi datasheet features section and ordering information. It carries UL 94 V-0 flammability rating and meets JEDEC moisture sensitivity level 1 - confirming suitability for lead-free reflow processes and environmentally regulated production environments.
