Product details
Overview
CD74ACT245M96 from Texas Instruments is an octal non-inverting three-state bidirectional bus transceiver in SOIC-20 package, operating at 4.5V–5.5V supply, delivering ±24mA output drive, 9.1ns typical propagation delay (VCC = 5V, TA = 25°C, CL = 50pF), and supporting high-speed data transfer between A and B buses in industrial control backplanes.
For engineers reviewing the CD74ACT245M96 datasheet, CD74ACT245M96 pinout, CD74ACT245M96 application, or CD74ACT245M96 equivalent, key selection criteria include its TTL-compatible input thresholds (VIH = 2.0V, VIL = 0.8V), 15-FAST™ fanout capability, 50Ω transmission-line drive strength, and operation across –55°C to +125°C temperature range.
Technical Context
The CD74ACT245M96 implements a dual-bus bidirectional interface controlled by DIR (direction) and OE (output enable) pins, enabling data flow either from A-to-B or B-to-A under logic-level direction control. Its Advanced CMOS Logic (ACT) process ensures TTL-compatible input levels and robust noise immunity while maintaining low quiescent current (ICC ≤ 160µA).
It features balanced propagation delays (tPLH ≈ tPHL), simultaneous switching transient suppression (VOHV ≥ 4V, VOLP ≤ 1V at 25°C), and three-state output leakage < ±10µA - all verified across –55°C to +125°C per MIL-STD-883 conditions. The device supports hot-swap-capable isolation when OE is HIGH.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 4.5V–5.5V - enables direct interface with 5V TTL/CMOS systems without level-shifting. |
| Propagation Delay | 9.1ns typ (VCC = 5V, CL = 50pF) - supports >50MHz bus clock rates in synchronous applications. |
| Output Drive | ±24mA - drives 50Ω transmission lines directly and fans out to 15 FAST™ ICs. |
| Input Thresholds | VIH = 2.0V, VIL = 0.8V - fully TTL-compatible, eliminating need for external biasing on legacy bus interfaces. |
| Operating Temp | –55°C to +125°C - qualified for extended-temperature industrial, aerospace, and defense environments. |
| Three-State Leakage | ±10µA max (TA = –55°C to +125°C) - ensures minimal bus contention during high-impedance state. |
| Quiescent Current | 160µA max - enables low-power standby in battery-backed or energy-sensitive subsystems. |
Pinout & Package
CD74ACT245M96 is housed in a 20-pin SOIC (DW) package measuring 12.80mm × 10.3mm (body: 12.80mm × 7.50mm), RoHS-compliant with NIPDAU lead finish and moisture sensitivity level 1 (260°C peak reflow).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (DIR) | Direction control input | Determines data flow direction: LOW = B→A, HIGH = A→B; TTL-compatible threshold. |
| 2–9 (A0–A7) | Bidirectional A-bus I/O | Eight pins serving as inputs or outputs depending on DIR state; each has 10pF input capacitance. |
| 10 (GND) | Ground reference | Primary power return path; must be low-impedance for stable noise margin and timing integrity. |
| 11–18 (B0–B7) | Bidirectional B-bus I/O | Eight pins mirroring A-side functionality; supports full 16-bit bidirectional bus bridging. |
| 19 (OE) | Output enable input | Active-LOW control: HIGH forces all outputs into high-impedance state for bus sharing. |
| 20 (VCC) | Power supply | 5V nominal supply pin; requires local 0.1µF bypass capacitor per TI layout guidelines. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| SCR-latchup-resistant process | Guarantees immunity to destructive latch-up under overvoltage or ESD stress per JEDEC JESD78. |
| Buffered inputs | Reduces capacitive loading on upstream drivers and improves signal integrity across long trace runs. |
| Balanced tPLH/tPHL delays | Minimizes duty-cycle distortion in clock-forwarding or data-strobe applications requiring symmetric timing. |
| 50Ω transmission-line drive | Enables point-to-point or daisy-chained bus topologies without external termination resistors. |
| TTL-compatible input thresholds | Eliminates need for level translators when interfacing with legacy 5V microcontrollers or FPGAs. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal bus transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74ACT245N | Same ACT logic family, identical electrical specs, but in PDIP-20 (N) package with larger footprint (24.33mm × 9.4mm) and no tape-and-reel option. | Suitable for prototyping or through-hole assembly; lacks MSL-1 reflow compatibility and higher thermal resistance (RθJA = 69°C/W vs. 98.6°C/W). | Select when manual soldering or socket-based validation is required; avoid for high-density SMT production. |
| 74ACT245SCX | Functionally identical, but manufactured by ON Semiconductor; minor variance in VOH/VOL min/max limits (e.g., VOH = 3.94V min @ –40°C to +85°C vs. TI's 3.8V). | Validated for automotive AEC-Q100 Grade 3 (–40°C to +85°C), not extended temp; different MSL rating (Level-2A). | Prefer for automotive-grade programs where AEC-Q100 compliance is mandatory and extended temp is not needed. |
Compared with SN74ACT245N and 74ACT245SCX, CD74ACT245M96 offers optimized SMT manufacturability (tape-and-reel, MSL-1), superior thermal performance in dense layouts, and full military-temperature qualification - making it the preferred choice for high-reliability industrial and defense deployments.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature for CD74ACT245M96?
The CD74ACT245M96 is rated for operation from –55°C to +125°C, meeting extended-temperature requirements for industrial control, aerospace avionics, and defense electronics. This specification is validated per MIL-STD-883 methods and applies across the full 4.5V–5.5V supply range without derating.
Does CD74ACT245M96 support hot-swap bus insertion?
Yes, CD74ACT245M96 supports hot-swap operation when OE is held HIGH during insertion, placing all outputs in high-impedance state. Its SCR-latchup-resistant CMOS process and ±24mA drive capability prevent bus contention or damage during live connection, provided VCC ramp rate remains within 10V/ms per TI design guidelines.
What is the recommended bypass capacitor for CD74ACT245M96?
Texas Instruments recommends a 0.1µF ceramic capacitor placed as close as possible to the VCC pin (Pin 20) of CD74ACT245M96. For multi-VCC designs or noisy environments, paralleling with a 1µF capacitor further suppresses broadband noise and stabilizes transient current demands during output switching.
Can CD74ACT245M96 interface directly with 3.3V logic?
No - CD74ACT245M96 requires 4.5V–5.5V supply and has TTL-compatible input thresholds (VIH = 2.0V min), making it unsuitable for direct 3.3V logic interfacing without level translation. Driving it from 3.3V outputs risks marginal VIH margin; receiving 3.3V signals may violate VIL spec under worst-case conditions.
Is CD74ACT245M96 pin-compatible with CD74AC245M96?
Yes - CD74ACT245M96 and CD74AC245M96 share identical SOIC-20 pinout, function table, and logic behavior. However, CD74AC245M96 operates from 1.5V–5.5V and has different input thresholds (VIH = 1.2V min at 1.5V), so substitution requires verifying supply voltage and interface compatibility.
