Product details
Overview
CD54AC245F3A from Texas Instruments is a military-grade octal non-inverting three-state bus transceiver in a 20-pin CDIP (J) package, operating from 1.5 V to 5.5 V over –55°C to +125°C. It provides bidirectional A↔B data flow controlled by DIR and OE pins, delivers ±24 mA output drive, and achieves 4 ns typical propagation delay at 5 V/25°C/50 pF - enabling high-speed inter-bus communication in rugged avionics and defense systems.
For engineers reviewing the CD54AC245F3A datasheet, CD54AC245F3A pinout, CD54AC245F3A application, or CD54AC245F3A equivalent, key selection criteria include its wide supply range (1.5–5.5 V), SCR-latchup-resistant CMOS process, balanced propagation delays, 50 Ω transmission-line drive capability, and guaranteed operation across extended military temperature extremes.
Technical Context
The CD54AC245F3A implements a dual-bus bidirectional interface using positive-logic DIR control to select direction (A→B when DIR = HIGH, B→A when DIR = LOW) and active-LOW OE to enable/disable all outputs into high-impedance state. Its Advanced CMOS logic ensures compatibility with both TTL and CMOS inputs while maintaining low power consumption versus bipolar FAST™ families.
It features buffered inputs, 10 pF input capacitance, 15 pF three-state output capacitance, and 57 pF power dissipation capacitance - supporting stable timing in mixed-voltage systems. The device meets MIL-PRF-38535 Class B requirements and is SCR-latchup resistant per JEDEC JESD78.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 1.5 V to 5.5 V - supports interoperability across 1.8 V, 3.3 V, and 5 V logic domains without level shifters |
| Propagation Delay (tPLH/tPHL) | Typ. 4 ns at VCC = 5 V, TA = 25°C, CL = 50 pF - enables ≤250 MHz data throughput in point-to-point links |

| Three-State Leakage | ±10 µA max at VCC = 5.5 V - minimizes standby current in high-density bus architectures |
Pinout & Package
CD54AC245F3A uses a 20-pin Ceramic Dual In-line Package (CDIP, J) with 0.3-inch body width, 24.2 mm × 7.62 mm overall dimensions, and 24.2 mm × 6.92 mm body size. Pin 1 is located at the left end of the top row, identified by a circular index mark.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 DIR | Direction Control Input | High = A→B data flow; Low = B→A data flow; determines signal path polarity |
| 2–9 A0–A7 | Bidirectional Bus A Terminals | Interface to local processor/data bus; function as inputs or outputs depending on DIR state |
| 10 GND | Ground Reference | Primary return path for all internal logic and I/O circuits; must be low-inductance connection |
| 11–18 B0–B7 | Bidirectional Bus B Terminals | Interface to peripheral/memory bus; mirror A-side behavior under DIR control |
| 19 OE | Output Enable Input | Active-LOW: OE = LOW enables transceiver; OE = HIGH places all outputs in high-Z state |
| 20 VCC | Power Supply | Single-supply rail supporting 1.5–5.5 V; requires local 0.1 µF bypass capacitor per VCC pin |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal bus transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| CD54ACT245F3A | TTL-compatible input thresholds (VIH = 2.0 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max at 5 V); faster tPLH/tPHL (2.7 ns typ) | Optimized for legacy 5 V TTL systems; less suitable for sub-3.3 V domains | Select when interfacing exclusively with 5 V TTL logic and maximum speed is critical |
| SN74AC245N | Commercial temperature range only (–40°C to +85°C); same AC logic family and pinout | Not qualified for military/aerospace use; RoHS-compliant (Pb-free) | Select for cost-sensitive industrial designs where extended temperature is not required |
Compared with CD54AC245F3A, CD54ACT245F3A offers tighter timing but narrower voltage flexibility, while SN74AC245N provides identical functionality at lower cost and environmental compliance - yet lacks the military-grade reliability and extended temperature margin essential for defense-critical deployments.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature for CD54AC245F3A?
The CD54AC245F3A is rated for continuous operation from –55°C to +125°C ambient temperature, meeting MIL-PRF-38535 Class B requirements. This specification is validated across all electrical parameters in the datasheet's Recommended Operating Conditions table and confirmed in thermal testing per JEDEC JESD51-1.
Does CD54AC245F3A support 3.3 V logic levels?
Yes, CD54AC245F3A fully supports 3.3 V operation: its 1.5 V to 5.5 V supply range includes 3.3 V nominal, and input thresholds scale accordingly (e.g., VIH = 2.1 V min at VCC = 3.3 V). Output VOH/VOL specs guarantee compatibility with standard 3.3 V CMOS receivers.
How does the DIR pin control data direction in CD54AC245F3A?
In CD54AC245F3A, the DIR pin is a logic-level control: when DIR = HIGH, data flows from A-bus inputs to B-bus outputs; when DIR = LOW, data flows from B-bus inputs to A-bus outputs. This bidirectional routing is concurrent across all eight channels and independent of OE state.
Is CD54AC245F3A pin-compatible with CD74AC245E?
Yes, CD54AC245F3A and CD74AC245E share identical pinout, logic function, and AC electrical characteristics. The difference lies solely in packaging (CDIP vs. PDIP) and qualification: CD54AC245F3A is military-qualified (Class B), while CD74AC245E is commercial-grade.
What is the purpose of the OE pin in CD54AC245F3A?
The OE (Output Enable) pin in CD54AC245F3A is an active-LOW control that places all A- and B-side outputs into high-impedance state when asserted HIGH. When OE = LOW, the transceiver operates normally per DIR setting - enabling bus sharing and preventing contention in multi-master systems.
