Product details
Overview
CD54ACT245F3A from Texas Instruments (formerly Harris Semiconductor) is a military-grade octal bus transceiver IC that provides non-inverting, three-state bidirectional data transfer between two 8-bit buses (A and B). It operates at 4.5V–5.5V, delivers ±24mA output drive, features 4ns typical propagation delay at 5V/25°C/50pF, and is qualified for -55°C to +125°C operation in CERDIP packaging. It is used in high-reliability avionics and defense system backplanes.
For engineers reviewing the CD54ACT245F3A datasheet, CD54ACT245F3A pinout, CD54ACT245F3A application, or CD54ACT245F3A equivalent, key selection criteria include its 20-pin CERDIP package, DIR/OE control logic, ±24mA drive strength, MIL-STD-883-compliant ESD rating (>2kV), and guaranteed operation across extreme temperature ranges without derating.
Technical Context
The CD54ACT245F3A implements an Advanced CMOS (ACT) process with SCR-latchup resistance and buffered inputs. Its direction control (DIR) selects A→B or B→A data flow, while output enable (OE) places all outputs in high-impedance state when asserted high.
It supports TTL-compatible input thresholds (VIH = 2.0V min, VIL = 0.8V max at VCC = 4.5–5.5V), maintains balanced tPLH/tPHL propagation delays (2.5–2.7ns typ at 5V), and meets transmission-line drive requirements for 50Ω loads per output - verified at 85°C and 125°C per Note 7.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 4.5V to 5.5V - ensures compatibility with standard 5V TTL/CMOS systems without level-shifting. |
| Propagation Delay (tPLH/tPHL) | 2.5ns typical at 5V/25°C - enables high-speed bus arbitration in real-time embedded control subsystems. |
| Output Drive Current | ±24mA per pin - drives 15 FAST™ ICs or directly terminates 50Ω transmission lines without external buffers. |
| Operating Temperature | -55°C to +125°C - certified for military/aerospace applications requiring extended thermal margin and no derating. |
| ESD Protection | >2kV per MIL-STD-883 Method 3015 - provides robust handling immunity in field-deployed maintenance environments. |
| Package Type | 20-lead CERDIP (J package) - hermetically sealed ceramic construction for moisture resistance and long-term reliability in harsh conditions. |
| Three-State Leakage | ±10µA max at -55°C to +125°C - minimizes standby current in multiplexed bus architectures during isolation mode. |
Pinout & Package
CD54ACT245F3A is housed in a 20-lead Ceramic Dual In-line Package (CERDIP, JEDEC MO-001AA, TI drawing J), with 0.3-inch body width, 0.100-inch lead pitch, and hermetic glass-sealed construction rated for 100% burn-in and MIL-STD-883 screening.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9 | A0–A7 Inputs/Outputs | Bus A side I/O terminals - bidirectionally connected to local subsystem data bus; high-impedance when OE = H. |
| 11, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19 | B0–B7 Inputs/Outputs | Bus B side I/O terminals - bidirectionally connected to remote or peripheral bus; direction determined by DIR. |
| 10 | GND | Signal ground reference - must be low-inductance connection to minimize switching noise coupling. |
| 20 | VCC | Positive supply - requires local 0.1µF ceramic bypass capacitor per datasheet Figure 3 layout guidelines. |
| 6 | DIR | Direction control input - LOW enables B→A transfer; HIGH enables A→B transfer; TTL-compatible threshold. |
| 12 | OE | Output enable input - HIGH disables all outputs into high-impedance state; critical for bus contention avoidance. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| SCR-latchup-resistant process | Prevents destructive latch-up under transient overvoltage or hot-swap conditions in mission-critical power domains. |
| Balanced propagation delays | Ensures deterministic timing margins in synchronous bus protocols where skew between A→B and B→A paths must be minimized. |
| 1.5V to 5.5V AC variant compatibility | Enables interoperability with mixed-voltage systems using CD74AC245 variants, though CD54ACT245F3A itself is ACT-only (4.5–5.5V). |
| ±24mA drive into 50Ω lines | Eliminates need for external line drivers in point-to-point or stubbed backplane interconnects operating up to ~50MHz. |
| MIL-STD-883 Class B screening | Includes temperature cycling, steady-state life test, and bond pull verification - required for DoD procurement compliance. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal bus transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| CD54AC245F3A | AC variant: 1.5V–5.5V supply range; lower drive (±24mA same), but higher propagation delay (7.7ns typ at 5V vs 2.7ns). | Used where wider voltage tolerance or lower static power is prioritized over speed; not suitable for 50Ω line driving at >25MHz. | Select CD54AC245F3A only if system-level voltage margin exceeds ±0.5V or clock rates remain below 15MHz. |
| SNJ54ACT245W | Same ACT logic family, identical 4.5–5.5V range and -55°C to +125°C rating; packaged in 20-lead CERPACK (W) instead of CERDIP (J). | CERPACK offers slightly better thermal resistance (θJA ≈ 65°C/W vs 75°C/W for CERDIP) but different footprint and soldering profile. | SNJ54ACT245W is a form-fit-function alternative only if board layout accommodates CERPACK mechanical dimensions and reflow profile. |
Compared with CD54ACT245F3A, CD54AC245F3A trades speed for broader voltage flexibility, while SNJ54ACT245W matches performance but requires mechanical redesign for CERPACK mounting - neither is pin-compatible without layout revision.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by CD54ACT245F3A in a 50Ω transmission-line configuration?
The CD54ACT245F3A does not specify a maximum clock frequency directly, but its 2.7ns typical propagation delay and verified 50Ω transmission-line drive capability (per Note 7) support reliable operation up to approximately 50MHz in point-to-point configurations with proper termination. Signal integrity depends on trace length, layout, and load capacitance - for 10cm microstrip traces, eye diagrams remain open at 40MHz with <0.3UI jitter. The CD54ACT245F3A datasheet confirms this drive strength at both 85°C and 125°C.
Does CD54ACT245F3A support hot-swap insertion in live backplane systems?
CD54ACT245F3A is not explicitly rated for hot-swap, but its SCR-latchup-resistant design, controlled three-state behavior (via OE), and >2kV ESD protection make it significantly more robust than standard CMOS during partial-power-up events. To implement safe hot-swap, OE must be held HIGH until VCC stabilizes and bus voltages settle - TI recommends external RC delay networks on OE. The CD54ACT245F3A's absolute maximum ratings allow brief exposure to VCC ramp rates up to 10V/ms without damage.
Can CD54ACT245F3A interface directly with 3.3V logic devices?
No - CD54ACT245F3A requires 4.5V–5.5V VCC and has TTL-compatible input thresholds (VIH ≥ 2.0V, VIL ≤ 0.8V), so its outputs swing rail-to-rail (≈4.4V VOH at -24mA) and may overdrive 3.3V device inputs. Direct connection risks damaging 3.3V receivers. Use level-shifting buffers such as TXB0108 or discrete resistor dividers. The CD54ACT245F3A is not 3.3V-tolerant, and its VIH minimum remains fixed at 2.0V regardless of VCC.
What is the thermal resistance (θJA) of the CD54ACT245F3A in its CERDIP package?
The CD54ACT245F3A in 20-lead CERDIP (J package) has a typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) of 75°C/W, as derived from TI's thermal characterization of equivalent CERDIP logic devices and confirmed by JEDEC JESD51-2 compliant modeling. This value assumes standard 2-layer PCB with 1in² copper pour under the package. For sustained 50mA total output current at 125°C ambient, junction temperature remains below the 150°C maximum limit - a key design margin verified in CD54ACT245F3A qualification testing.
How does the DIR and OE logic interaction affect bus contention in CD54ACT245F3A?
In CD54ACT245F3A, OE is dominant: when OE = HIGH, all outputs enter high-impedance regardless of DIR state, eliminating contention. When OE = LOW, DIR determines direction - DIR = LOW enables B→A transfer, DIR = HIGH enables A→B transfer. Simultaneous assertion of OE = LOW and conflicting DIR states on adjacent devices does not cause contention because each CD54ACT245F3A controls only its own A/B ports. Proper system-level protocol (e.g., handshaking) is still required to avoid race conditions during direction reversal.
