Product details
Overview
74VHCT245D,118 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, supporting bidirectional data flow between A- and B-buses under DIR control and high-impedance isolation via active-low OE, used in industrial backplane interfacing and legacy microcontroller I/O expansion.
For engineers reviewing the 74VHCT245D,118 datasheet, 74VHCT245D,118 pinout, 74VHCT245D,118 application, or 74VHCT245D,118 equivalent, key selection criteria include TTL-level input compatibility, 8-bit bidirectional bus isolation timing (tpd ≤ 7.7 ns @ 5 V, CL = 15 pF), SO20 package thermal derating (12.3 mW/K above 109 °C), and −40 °C to +125 °C operation with Schmitt-trigger input hysteresis.
Technical Context
The device implements dual-directional 8-bit data transfer using a single DIR pin to select A→B or B→A path, with OE asserting high-impedance on all 16 I/O pins simultaneously. It uses Si-gate CMOS technology with TTL-input threshold logic (VIH = 2.0 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max at VCC = 4.5–5.5 V), enabling direct interface with legacy 5 V TTL systems.
Propagation delay is symmetric for both directions (An↔Bn) and tightly controlled across temperature (−40 °C to +125 °C), with enable/disable times (ten/tdis) specified down to 5.0 ns/6.0 ns (typ) at 5 V and 15 pF load. Input clamping diodes and ESD protection (HBM > 2000 V, CDM > 1000 V) support robust board-level handling.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - Ensures compatibility with standard 5 V TTL logic rails and stable operation across industrial voltage tolerances. |
| Input Thresholds | VIH = 2.0 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max - Guarantees reliable recognition of TTL logic levels without level-shifting circuitry. |
| Propagation Delay | tpd ≤ 7.7 ns (typ) @ VCC = 5 V, CL = 15 pF - Enables high-speed bus handshaking in real-time control and data acquisition systems. |
| Output Drive | ±8 mA @ VOH/VOL - Sustains signal integrity driving 15 pF loads across full temperature range with defined VOL ≤ 0.55 V. |
| Operating Temperature | −40 °C to +125 °C - Qualified for under-hood automotive modules, industrial PLCs, and extended-temperature embedded controllers. |
| ESD Protection | HBM > 2000 V, CDM > 1000 V - Meets JEDEC JS-001/JS-002 Class 2/C3 requirements for automated assembly and field reliability. |
| Power Dissipation | Ptot = 500 mW (SO20), derates 12.3 mW/K above 109 °C - Supports continuous operation in thermally constrained enclosures with predictable thermal margin. |
Pinout & Package
74VHCT245D,118 is housed in a plastic small outline package (SO20, SOT163-1) with 20 leads, 7.5 mm body width, and standard 1.27 mm lead pitch. Pin 1 is marked by a notch or beveled corner; pin numbering follows counter-clockwise sequence from top-left when viewed from component side.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (DIR) | Direction control input | LOW selects A→B data flow; HIGH selects B→A - enables single-wire bus arbitration in shared-memory or peripheral interconnects. |
| 2–9 (A0–A7) | Port A bidirectional I/O | Connects to microcontroller or ASIC local bus; driven high-Z when OE = HIGH or direction mismatched. |
| 10 (GND) | Ground reference | 0 V return path for all internal logic and output drivers; must be low-impedance for noise immunity. |
| 11–18 (B0–B7) | Port B bidirectional I/O | Interfaces to memory, peripheral, or backplane bus; electrically isolated from A-port when OE = HIGH. |
| 19 (OE) | Output enable (active LOW) | Drives all A/B pins to high-impedance when HIGH - essential for multi-drop bus contention avoidance and hot-swap capability. |
| 20 (VCC) | Positive supply | 5 V nominal power rail; decoupling capacitor (100 nF ceramic) required within 10 mm of this pin for switching noise suppression. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| TTL-compatible inputs | Operates directly with 5 V TTL logic families without external level shifters or pull-ups, reducing BOM count and layout complexity. |
| Schmitt-trigger action | Provides hysteresis on all inputs (typ. 0.4 V), rejecting noise on slow-rising signals such as mechanical switch debouncing or long trace routing. |
| Bidirectional 3-state control | Single DIR + OE pair manages full 16-pin bus isolation and direction - simplifies FPGA or MCU GPIO resource allocation versus discrete transceivers. |
| Extended temperature range | Specified from −40 °C to +125 °C ensures functional reliability in engine control units, motor drives, and outdoor telecom equipment. |
| Low dynamic power | CPD = 15 pF enables sub-mW dynamic dissipation at 1 MHz (PD ≈ 37.5 μW @ 5 V), critical for battery-backed or energy-constrained subsystems. |
Applications
| Industrial Backplane Interface | Legacy Microcontroller I/O 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 74LVC245AD,118 | Lower VCC range (1.2–3.6 V), LVTTL-compatible inputs, higher speed (tpd ≤ 4.2 ns @ 3.3 V), but no 5 V tolerance. | Requires level-shifting for 5 V systems; suited for modern 3.3 V FPGA/microcontroller designs with tighter timing budgets. | Select when migrating to lower-voltage domains and 5 V interoperability is not required. |
| SN74LVTH245PW | TI part with identical 5 V TTL-compatible inputs, same SO20 package, but higher ICC (max 80 μA vs 40 μA) and wider tpd variation (3.5–10 ns). | Validated for TI-specific reference designs; pinout matches but requires revalidation of enable timing margins in high-noise environments. | Choose only if existing TI design ecosystem mandates vendor lock-in or legacy schematic reuse. |
Compared with 74LVC245AD,118 and SN74LVTH245PW, the 74VHCT245D,118 uniquely balances 5 V TTL compatibility, −40 °C to +125 °C qualification, and sub-8 ns propagation delay without sacrificing static current (ICC ≤ 40 μA), making it optimal for mixed-voltage industrial upgrades where legacy interface integrity is mandatory.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by 74VHCT245D,118?
The 74VHCT245D,118 is not a clocked device and has no internal clock; its usable data rate depends on propagation delay and system setup/hold timing. With tpd ≤ 7.7 ns (typ) and tdis ≤ 19.5 ns (max) at 5 V, it supports reliable 8-bit parallel transfers up to ~50 MHz in well-terminated, low-capacitance PCB layouts.
Can 74VHCT245D,118 operate with a 3.3 V supply?
No - the 74VHCT245D,118 is specified only for VCC = 4.5 V to 5.5 V. Its TTL-compatible inputs require ≥2.0 V VIH and are not guaranteed to function correctly below 4.5 V; use 74LVC245AD,118 instead for 3.3 V operation.
Is the SO20 package RoHS compliant and lead-free?
Yes - the 74VHCT245D,118 in SOT163-1 (SO20) package is manufactured per RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and is lead-free, with matte tin (Sn) termination finish and halogen-free molding compound, verified per Nexperia's material declarations.
How does the Schmitt-trigger input improve noise immunity?
The Schmitt-trigger action provides input hysteresis (~0.4 V typical), meaning the rising threshold (VIH) and falling threshold (VIL) differ significantly. This prevents multiple output transitions when input signals cross the logic threshold slowly or with noise, ensuring clean edge detection in noisy industrial environments.
