Product details
Overview
74VHC245FT from Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation is an advanced high-speed CMOS octal bus transceiver in TSSOP20B package, supporting bidirectional asynchronous data transfer between two 8-bit buses with DIR-controlled direction and G-enabled isolation. It operates from 2.0 V to 5.5 V, delivers 4.0 ns typical propagation delay at 5.0 V, and maintains ≤4.0 µA max quiescent current at 25 °C - ideal for low-power industrial bus interface applications.
For engineers reviewing the 74VHC245FT datasheet, 74VHC245FT pinout, 74VHC245FT application, or 74VHC245FT equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q100 Rev. H qualification, -40 °C to +125 °C operating range, balanced tPLH/tPHL timing, 3-state output control, and compatibility with 74AC/HC/AHC245 logic families.
Technical Context
The 74VHC245FT implements dual 8-bit bidirectional bus interfaces controlled by a single DIR input to select data flow direction (A→B or B→A) and an active-low G enable to place both ports in high-impedance state. Its C2MOS silicon gate process enables TTL-compatible speed with CMOS power efficiency.
All inputs feature ESD protection; bus I/O terminals include parasitic diodes to VCC, prohibiting direct 5 V-to-3 V level translation without external clamping or voltage translation. Unused bus terminals must be pulled to VCC or GND to prevent floating states.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal bus transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC245APWR | Lower VCC range (1.65–3.6 V); 3.3 V only; no AEC-Q100 qualification | Suitable for consumer-grade 3.3 V systems but not automotive or extended-temp industrial use | Select when cost and 3.3 V operation are primary; avoid where 5 V tolerance or AEC-Q100 is required |
| 74HC245D,653 | Slower propagation delay (21 ns typ. at 4.5 V); wider temp range (-40 to +125 °C) but no AEC-Q100 certification | Acceptable for non-automotive industrial control where timing margin is relaxed | Choose for legacy HC-family compatibility where speed is secondary to broad vendor availability |
Compared with SN74LVC245APWR and 74HC245D,653, the 74VHC245FT uniquely combines 5 V tolerance, AEC-Q100 Rev. H qualification, and 4.0 ns speed - making it the only option for automotive-grade, mixed-voltage, high-speed bus bridging.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature for the 74VHC245FT?
The 74VHC245FT is rated for continuous operation from -40 °C to +125 °C, validated per AEC-Q100 Rev. H thermal stress testing. This makes the 74VHC245FT suitable for under-hood automotive applications and high-temperature industrial enclosures where ambient heat exceeds standard commercial grade limits.
Does the 74VHC245FT support 5 V to 3.3 V level translation?
No, the 74VHC245FT does not support direct 5 V to 3.3 V level translation. Its bus I/O terminals contain parasitic diodes to VCC, so applying 5 V to a port powered at 3.3 V risks forward-biasing those diodes and causing excessive current. The 74VHC245FT requires matched VCC on both sides or external level-shifting circuitry when interfacing mismatched voltage domains.
What is the typical propagation delay of the 74VHC245FT at 3.3 V supply?
At VCC = 3.3 V and Ta = 25 °C, the 74VHC245FT exhibits a typical propagation delay (tPLH/tPHL) of 5.8 ns, as specified in Section 11.4 of the official Toshiba datasheet. This value increases to 8.3 ns maximum under worst-case conditions (Ta = -40 to +125 °C, CL = 50 pF), ensuring predictable timing margins in high-speed bus designs using the 74VHC245FT.
Is the 74VHC245FT pin-compatible with standard 74HC245 devices?
Yes, the 74VHC245FT is pin- and function-compatible with industry-standard 74AC/HC/AHC245 octal transceivers, including identical TSSOP20 pinout and truth table behavior. This allows direct substitution in existing layouts without PCB modification - provided the 74VHC245FT's higher speed and tighter noise margins align with system timing requirements.
What packaging format is used for the 74VHC245FT?
The 74VHC245FT is supplied in the TSSOP20B package: a 20-pin thin shrink small outline package measuring 4.4 mm × 6.5 mm with 0.65 mm lead pitch. This RoHS-compliant, surface-mount package supports high-density routing and automated reflow assembly, and is explicitly confirmed in Toshiba's official documentation for the 74VHC245FT.
