Product details
Overview
74VHC245SJX from ON Semiconductor is an octal bidirectional bus transceiver with 3-STATE outputs, designed for asynchronous data exchange between two 8-bit buses. It operates at 2.0–5.5 V, delivers 4.0 ns typical propagation delay at 5 V, supports 8 mA output drive, and features independent transmit/receive (T/R) and output enable (OE) controls. It is used in microcontroller peripheral interfacing and legacy bus isolation.
For engineers reviewing the 74VHC245SJX datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection considerations include bidirectional data flow control, 3-STATE bus isolation timing (tPZL/tPLZ ≤ 18 ns), DC input voltage tolerance (0–5.5 V), and compatibility with 74HC245 logic families.
Technical Context
The 74VHC245SJX implements a dual-bus architecture with separate A-side (A0–A7) and B-side (B0–B7) I/O terminals, where direction is controlled by the T/R input and output state by OE. All inputs include ESD protection and power-down immunity, enabling safe hot-insertion in powered systems.
It uses silicon-gate CMOS technology to achieve TTL-compatible speed (4.0 ns tPD typ at 5 V) while maintaining low ICC (4 µA max at 25 °C). The device meets JEDEC J-STD-020B for Pb-free reflow and supports 15 pF/50 pF load conditions across its AC timing specifications.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 2.0–5.5 V - Enables direct interface with 3.3 V and 5 V logic domains without level shifters. |
| Propagation Delay | 4.0 ns (typ) at VCC = 5 V - Supports high-speed bus handshaking up to ~100 MHz system clock edges. |
| Output Drive | ±8 mA - Sufficient to drive standard CMOS/TTL loads across 20-cm PCB traces with <10% signal degradation. |
| Input Voltage Thresholds | VIH = 0.7×VCC, VIL = 0.3×VCC - Ensures robust noise margin (>28% VCC) in electrically noisy industrial environments. |
| Off-State Leakage | ±2.5 µA max - Maintains bus integrity during 3-STATE isolation, preventing unintended current paths in multi-drop systems. |
| Operating Temperature | −40 °C to +85 °C - Qualified for industrial-grade embedded control and instrumentation applications. |
| Power Dissipation | ICC ≤ 4 µA (max) at 25 °C - Enables ultra-low static power in battery-backed or always-on subsystems. |

| 2 (A0) | Side A I/O Terminal | Configurable as input or 3-STATE output depending on T/R and OE states; connects to local bus segment. |
| 3 (A1) | Side A I/O Terminal | Same electrical behavior as A0; part of 8-bit parallel A-side interface with matched timing characteristics. |
| 19 (B7) | Side B I/O Terminal | Highest-order B-side terminal; supports full 8-bit data transfer in either direction with <1.5 ns inter-output skew. |
| 20 (T/R) | Transmit/Receive Control | High = A→B data flow; Low = B→A data flow; sampled synchronously with OE to avoid bus contention. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal bidirectional transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 74HC245N | Same pinout and logic function; higher ICC (80 µA max), slower tPD (18 ns typ at 5 V) | Lower speed margin; unsuitable for >25 MHz bus handshaking | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs speed and power requirements. |
| SN74LVC245APWR | 3.3 V only (1.65–3.6 V), ±24 mA drive, 3.5 ns tPD, different pinout (TSSOP-20) | Not pin-compatible; requires PCB redesign but offers higher drive and lower voltage operation | Select for modern 3.3 V systems requiring enhanced drive strength and tighter timing budgets. |
Compared with 74HC245N and SN74LVC245APWR, the 74VHC245SJX uniquely balances 5 V compatibility, 4 ns speed, and 4 µA quiescent current-making it optimal for mixed-voltage industrial upgrades where layout reuse and low standby power are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating voltage for the 74VHC245SJX?
The 74VHC245SJX supports a supply voltage range of 2.0 V to 5.5 V. Absolute maximum rating is 7.0 V, but sustained operation above 5.5 V violates recommended conditions and may cause parametric drift or reliability degradation. For reliable 5 V system integration, the 74VHC245SJX maintains full specification compliance across −40 °C to +85 °C.
Is the 74VHC245SJX pin-compatible with the 74HC245 family?
Yes, the 74VHC245SJX is pin- and function-compatible with the 74HC245 series, including identical pin numbering, terminal assignments, and truth table behavior. This allows direct PCB-level substitution without layout modification, provided voltage and timing margins align with the VHC family's improved speed and reduced power.
Does the 74VHC245SJX support hot-plug operation?
The 74VHC245SJX includes power-down protection on all inputs, allowing safe operation when inputs are driven while VCC is at 0 V or ramping. This feature supports hot-plug scenarios in modular backplanes, though external current limiting and sequencing remain necessary for full system-level hot-swap compliance.
What is the 3-STATE disable time for the 74VHC245SJX?
The 74VHC245SJX specifies tPHZ (disable time from HIGH to HIGH-Z) as 7.0–11.0 ns and tPLZ (disable time from LOW to HIGH-Z) as 7.0–11.0 ns at VCC = 5.0 V and CL = 50 pF. These values ensure rapid bus release to prevent contention during direction or enable transitions in synchronous bus protocols.
Can the 74VHC245SJX be used in 3.3 V systems?
Yes, the 74VHC245SJX operates down to 2.0 V and is fully specified at 3.3 V ±0.3 V. At 3.3 V, it delivers 5.8 ns typical propagation delay and maintains VIH/VIL thresholds at 0.7×VCC and 0.3×VCC respectively, ensuring interoperability with 3.3 V LVTTL and LVCMOS logic families without level translation.
