Product details
Overview
CD54HCT245F from Texas Instruments is a high-speed octal three-state bidirectional bus transceiver in CERDIP package, operating at 4.5V–5.5V with 10ns typical propagation delay (CL = 15pF), ±25mA output drive, and -55°C to +125°C temperature range-used for asynchronous data bus interfacing in military-grade embedded control systems.
For engineers reviewing the CD54HCT245F datasheet, CD54HCT245F pinout, CD54HCT245F application, or CD54HCT245F equivalent, key selection criteria include LSTTL-compatible input thresholds (VIL ≤ 0.8V, VIH ≥ 2.0V), three-state enable timing (tPLZ/tPHZ ≤ 45ns), bus driving capability (15 LSTTL loads), and CERDIP packaging for ruggedized thermal and mechanical reliability.
Technical Context
The CD54HCT245F implements non-inverting bidirectional data flow between two 8-bit buses (A0–A7 and B0–B7) controlled by DIR and OE inputs. Its HCT logic family ensures direct compatibility with LSTTL inputs while delivering CMOS-level quiescent current (ICC ≤ 160µA over full temperature range).
Direction control is synchronous: DIR = low enables B→A transfer; DIR = high enables A→B transfer. OE = high forces all I/Os into high-impedance state regardless of DIR, with leakage limited to ±10µA (IOZ) across -55°C to +125°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 4.5V to 5.5V - Ensures stable operation in 5V LSTTL-compatible systems without level-shifting. |
| Propagation Delay | 10ns typical (A↔B, CL = 15pF, TA = 25°C) - Enables sub-100MHz bus handshaking in real-time control loops. |
| Output Drive | ±25mA per pin - Supports direct connection to 15 LSTTL loads or large-capacitance backplanes (≤50pF). |
| Operating Temperature | -55°C to +125°C - Qualified for extended-range military and aerospace applications per MIL-PRF-38535. |
| Input Thresholds | VIL ≤ 0.8V, VIH ≥ 2.0V - Guarantees reliable logic recognition when driven by standard 5V TTL outputs. |
| Three-State Leakage | ±10µA max (IOZ, -55°C to +125°C) - Minimizes signal integrity risk during bus isolation in multi-drop configurations. |
Pinout & Package
CD54HCT245F uses a 20-lead CERDIP (Ceramic Dual In-line Package) with 0.3-inch body width, 0.1-inch lead pitch, and hermetic sealing for moisture resistance and long-term reliability in harsh environments.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 19–20 | A0–A7 I/O | Octal bidirectional data port A - Connects to local subsystem bus; direction determined by DIR. |
| 2–9 | B0–B7 I/O | Octal bidirectional data port B - Interfaces with external bus or peripheral; isolated when OE = high. |
| 10 | GND | Ground reference - Must be low-impedance connection to minimize noise coupling in mixed-signal systems. |
| 11 | VCC | Positive supply - Requires local 0.1µF ceramic decoupling adjacent to pin to suppress switching transients. |
| 12 | DIR | Direction control input - Low = B→A transfer; high = A→B transfer; TTL-compatible threshold. |
| 13 | OE | Output enable input - High = all I/Os in high-Z; low = active data transfer; active-low polarity. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| LSTTL Input Compatibility | VIL ≤ 0.8V / VIH ≥ 2.0V at VCC = 5V - Eliminates need for external level translators when interfacing with legacy TTL logic. |
| High-Drive Three-State Outputs | ±25mA sink/source per pin - Drives long traces or multiple receivers without external buffers in avionics backplanes. |
| Wide Temperature Range | -55°C to +125°C operation - Meets MIL-STD-883 requirements for deployment in uncontrolled environmental enclosures. |
| Low Quiescent Power | ICC ≤ 160µA at -55°C to +125°C - Reduces system-level heat generation in densely packed military computing modules. |
| Controlled Transition Times | tTHL/tTLH ≤ 18ns (CL = 50pF) - Limits EMI emissions and crosstalk in high-density PCB layouts with adjacent signal routing. |
Applications
| Avionics Data Bus Interface | Military Vehicle Control System |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal three-state bus transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| CD74HCT245E | Same logic function and electrical specs, but in PDIP package (non-hermetic, 0.3" width, Pb-free finish) | Suitable for commercial/industrial prototyping; lacks CERDIP's hermeticity and extended temp margin | Select when cost-sensitive evaluation or non-military production is required and MIL-spec packaging is unnecessary. |
| SN74HCT245N | Identical HCT logic, same pinout, but rated only to -40°C to +85°C and offered in PDIP/SOIC only | Not qualified for extended temperature or military use; lower reliability screening | Choose for consumer or industrial applications where full -55°C to +125°C operation is not mandated. |
Compared with CD54HCT245F, CD74HCT245E provides identical functionality in a lower-cost plastic package with reduced environmental robustness, while SN74HCT245N offers broader commercial availability but omits military-grade temperature and reliability qualification.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating voltage for CD54HCT245F?
The CD54HCT245F operates strictly within 4.5V to 5.5V supply range. Exceeding 5.5V violates absolute maximum ratings and risks permanent damage. This narrow window ensures LSTTL input compatibility and stable CMOS output levels, making it unsuitable for 3.3V or 6V systems without level translation.
Does CD54HCT245F support hot insertion or live bus swapping?
No, CD54HCT245F does not support hot insertion. Its absolute maximum ratings specify no DC input voltage below GND or above VCC, and the device lacks bus-hold or power-up/down protection circuitry. Applying signals before VCC stabilization may cause latch-up or excessive current flow, requiring strict power sequencing in backplane designs.
How does the direction control (DIR) pin behave during power-up?
During power-up, the DIR pin has no defined state until VCC reaches valid logic thresholds; its value is indeterminate and must be externally held stable via pull-up or pull-down resistor. TI recommends tying DIR to a known logic level (e.g., via 10kΩ to VCC or GND) before enabling OE to prevent unintended bus contention during initialization of the CD54HCT245F.
Is CD54HCT245F pin-compatible with CD54HC245F?
Yes, CD54HCT245F is pin-compatible with CD54HC245F - both share identical CERDIP-20 pinout, terminal functions, and physical dimensions. However, CD54HC245F operates from 2V–6V and uses CMOS input thresholds, whereas CD54HCT245F requires 4.5V–5.5V and accepts LSTTL inputs, so voltage domain and driver compatibility must be verified separately.
What is the recommended termination for unused I/O pins on CD54HCT245F?
Unused I/O pins on CD54HCT245F must be terminated to VCC or GND via 10kΩ–1MΩ resistors, as specified in the truth table note. Floating inputs can cause increased ICC, oscillation, or excessive heating due to undefined input states - especially critical in high-reliability applications where the CD54HCT245F is deployed.
