Product details
Overview
74VHCT245BQ,115 from Nexperia is an octal non-inverting 3-state bus transceiver with TTL-compatible inputs and CMOS outputs, operating at 4.5 V to 5.5 V supply voltage, supporting bidirectional data flow between two 8-bit buses with independent direction (DIR) and output enable (OE) control, used in industrial backplane interfacing and microcontroller peripheral expansion.
For engineers reviewing the 74VHCT245BQ,115 datasheet, 74VHCT245BQ,115 pinout, 74VHCT245BQ,115 application, or 74VHCT245BQ,115 equivalent, this device delivers sub-10 ns propagation delay at 5 V/50 pF, ±8 mA drive strength, Schmitt-trigger input hysteresis, and -40 °C to +125 °C operation in a thermally enhanced DHVQFN20 package for high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The 74VHCT245BQ,115 implements dual-bus bidirectional data transfer using a single DIR pin to select A→B or B→A direction, and an active-low OE pin to place all 16 I/Os into high-impedance state-enabling bus isolation without external logic. Its TTL-level input thresholds (VIH = 2.0 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max at VCC = 5 V) ensure compatibility with legacy 5 V logic families.
Internally, it uses Si-gate CMOS technology with balanced rise/fall propagation delays, Schmitt-trigger inputs on all pins for noise immunity, and input overvoltage tolerance up to 7.0 V. The device meets JEDEC JS-001 Class 2 HBM (>2000 V) and JS-002 Class C3 CDM (>1000 V) ESD specifications.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage (VCC) | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - Ensures stable operation across standard 5 V rail tolerances and brown-out margins. |
| Propagation Delay (tpd) | 3.5 ns (typ) / 10.0 ns (max) at 5 V/15 pF - Enables reliable timing in high-speed parallel bus systems up to ~100 MHz. |
| Output Drive (IO) | ±8.0 mA - Sufficient to drive 50 pF loads with <10 ns edge rates while maintaining VOH ≥ 3.7 V and VOL ≤ 0.55 V. |
| Input Thresholds | VIH = 2.0 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max - Guarantees interoperability with TTL, LVTTL, and 5 V microcontroller GPIOs. |
| Operating Temperature | -40 °C to +125 °C - Qualified for extended industrial and under-hood embedded applications without derating. |
| ESD Protection | HBM >2000 V, CDM >1000 V - Reduces field failure risk in manual handling and board assembly environments. |
| Power Dissipation (Ptot) | 500 mW max at Tamb ≤ 111 °C - Supports continuous operation in compact enclosures with minimal thermal design overhead. |
Pinout & Package
DHVQFN20 (SOT764-1) package: 2.5 mm × 4.5 mm × 0.85 mm body, no leads, exposed thermal pad (non-soldered by default), 20 terminals arranged in quad configuration with terminal 1 index area marked.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | DIR | Direction control input: LOW enables A→B data flow; HIGH enables B→A. |
| 2–9 | A0–A7 | Bus A side I/Os - connected to microcontroller or ASIC data port; driven or received based on DIR/OE state. |
| 10 | GND | Ground reference - electrically isolated thermal pad must remain floating or tied to GND per layout guidelines. |
| 11–18 | B0–B7 | Bus B side I/Os - interface to memory, peripheral, or backplane; electrically isolated when OE = HIGH. |
| 19 | OE | Active-low output enable - all A/B pins enter high-Z when HIGH, enabling multi-drop bus arbitration. |
| 20 | VCC | Positive supply - decoupling capacitor (100 nF) required within 3 mm of this pin for noise suppression. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| TTL-compatible inputs | VIH = 2.0 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max at 5 V - eliminates level-shifter requirement when interfacing with legacy 5 V logic. |
| Schmitt-trigger action | Hysteresis ≥ 0.3 V on all inputs - rejects noise on slow-rising or noisy control lines like DIR and OE. |
| Thermally enhanced package | DHVQFN20 with 0.85 mm height and 2.5 × 4.5 mm footprint - improves power density and reduces PCB area vs SO20/TSSOP20. |
| High noise immunity | Input overvoltage tolerance to 7.0 V - allows safe hot-plug or mixed-voltage system integration without clamping diodes. |
| Low static current | ICC ≤ 80 μA at 5.5 V - minimizes quiescent power in always-on industrial controllers and remote sensors. |
Applications
| Industrial PLC Backplane Interface | Microcontroller Peripheral Expansion |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal bus transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 74LVC245ABQ,115 | Lower VCC range (1.65–3.6 V); LVTTL inputs; 3.3 V only operation | Not suitable for 5 V legacy systems; requires level translation if interfacing to 5 V peripherals | Select when system operates exclusively at 3.3 V and lowest static power (<10 μA ICC) is critical. |
| SN74LVC245APWR | TSSOP20 package; identical electrical specs but higher thermal resistance (θJA = 100 K/W vs 65 K/W) | Less suitable for high ambient temperature or high-duty-cycle operation due to reduced thermal performance | Choose only if TSSOP20 footprint is mandated and thermal margin exceeds 20 °C above ambient. |

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by the 74VHCT245BQ,115 in a data bus application?
The 74VHCT245BQ,115 does not operate on a clock signal-it is asynchronous. Its usable data rate depends on propagation delay (≤10 ns) and load capacitance. At 50 pF, it reliably supports bus toggle rates up to 50 MHz (20 ns period), assuming clean edges and proper termination. Timing margins must include enable/disable delays (≤13.5 ns) for controlled bus arbitration.
Can the thermal pad on the DHVQFN20 package be soldered to ground?
Yes-the exposed thermal pad (terminal 1) may be soldered to a GND plane to improve thermal performance, but it must not be electrically connected unless tied directly to GND. Per Nexperia's datasheet, if soldered, the pad must remain floating or connected solely to GND; connecting it to any other net risks latch-up or parametric shift.
Is the 74VHCT245BQ,115 qualified for automotive applications?
No-the 74VHCT245BQ,115 is specified for industrial temperature range (-40 °C to +125 °C) but is not AEC-Q100 qualified. Nexperia explicitly states in its legal disclaimers that non-automotive qualified products are unsuitable for safety-critical or automotive use, and no automotive testing or qualification has been performed on this part.
How does the Schmitt-trigger input affect system-level noise immunity?
The Schmitt-trigger action provides ≥0.3 V hysteresis on all inputs (DIR, OE, A0–A7, B0–B7), meaning a signal must cross VIH (2.0 V) to register HIGH and fall below VIL (0.8 V) to register LOW. This prevents multiple transitions on slow or noisy control lines-critical for reliable OE assertion during bus arbitration or DIR toggling in EMI-prone industrial enclosures.
