Product details
Overview
CD74ACT245SM96 from Texas Instruments is an octal non-inverting three-state bidirectional bus transceiver in SSOP-20 package, operating at 4.5V–5.5V supply, delivering ±24mA output drive, 9.1ns typical propagation delay (VCC = 5V), and 15pF output capacitance for high-speed digital bus interfacing in industrial control backplanes.
For engineers reviewing the CD74ACT245SM96 datasheet, CD74ACT245SM96 pinout, CD74ACT245SM96 application, or CD74ACT245SM96 equivalent, key selection criteria include its TTL-compatible input thresholds (VIH = 2.0V, VIL = 0.8V), robust 125°C operation, balanced propagation delays, and SSOP-20 footprint optimized for space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The CD74ACT245SM96 implements Advanced CMOS Technology with SCR-latchup resistance and TTL-level input compatibility. Its DIR pin controls data direction (A→B or B→A), while OE enables three-state outputs-both logic inputs accept 0.8V/2.0V thresholds across –55°C to +125°C.
It features buffered inputs, 57pF power-dissipation capacitance, and simultaneous switching noise immunity verified via VOHV ≥4V and VOLP ≤1V at 25°C. Output drive supports fanout to 15 FAST™ ICs or direct 50Ω transmission-line termination without external termination.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 4.5V–5.5V - Enables direct interface with 5V TTL and CMOS systems without level-shifting. |
| Propagation Delay (tPLH/tPHL) | 2.7ns (typ), 10ns (max) at 5V - Supports >50MHz bus clock rates in synchronous data transfer. |
| Output Drive Current | ±24mA - Sufficient to drive 50Ω transmission lines or load 15 FAST™ inputs without signal degradation. |
| Input Thresholds | VIH = 2.0V, VIL = 0.8V - Full TTL compatibility ensures reliable interfacing with legacy 5V logic families. |
| Operating Temperature | –55°C to +125°C - Qualified for extended industrial, automotive under-hood, and military-grade applications. |
| Three-State Leakage | ±5µA max (VCC = 5.5V) - Minimizes standby current in high-density bus architectures with multiple transceivers. |
| Package | SSOP-20 (DB), 7.2mm × 7.8mm body - Surface-mount footprint with 0.65mm pitch, optimized for automated assembly and thermal performance. |
Pinout & Package
CD74ACT245SM96 uses a 20-pin Small Outline Shrink Plastic (SSOP-20, package code DB) with 0.65mm lead pitch and 2mm max height. The package body measures 7.2mm × 5.3mm (L×W), and overall outline is 7.2mm × 7.8mm including leads.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (DIR) | Direction Control Input | Determines data flow: DIR = LOW enables B→A transfer; DIR = HIGH enables A→B transfer. |
| 2–9 (A0–A7) | Bidirectional Bus A Port | Eight I/O pins connected to "A" side of bus; function as inputs or outputs depending on DIR and OE state. |
| 10 (GND) | Ground Reference | Primary return path for all internal logic and output currents; must be low-impedance connection. |
| 11–18 (B0–B7) | Bidirectional Bus B Port | Eight I/O pins connected to "B" side of bus; mirror A-port behavior under DIR control. |
| 19 (OE) | Output Enable Input | Active-LOW: OE = HIGH forces all A/B outputs into high-impedance state, isolating both buses. |
| 20 (VCC) | Power Supply | Single 4.5V–5.5V supply powering all logic and output stages; requires local 0.1µF bypass capacitor. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| SCR-latchup-resistant process | Guarantees immunity to latch-up events under transient overvoltage or ESD stress in harsh environments. |
| ±24mA output drive | Enables direct 50Ω line driving and fanout to 15 FAST™ loads without external buffers or termination resistors. |
| Buffered inputs | Reduces capacitive loading on upstream drivers and improves noise margin by isolating internal logic nodes. |
| TTL-compatible input thresholds | VIH = 2.0V / VIL = 0.8V ensures seamless interoperability with standard 5V TTL, LVTTL, and older microcontroller I/O. |
| Balanced tPLH/tPHL delays | Minimizes duty-cycle distortion in clocked bus systems where symmetric rise/fall timing is critical. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal bus transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74ACT245DBR | Same ACT logic family, identical 4.5–5.5V operation and ±24mA drive, but SOIC-20 (DW) package (12.8mm × 10.3mm). | Larger footprint and higher RθJA (98.6°C/W vs. 105.4°C/W) - less suitable for thermally dense layouts. | Select when board layout accommodates SOIC-20 and reflow profile matches Level-1-260C. |
| 74ACT245PC | PDIP-20 package (24.33mm × 9.4mm); same electrical specs but through-hole mounting and higher thermal resistance (69°C/W). | Designed for prototyping, legacy repair, or low-volume industrial assemblies requiring manual soldering. | Choose for breadboard evaluation or field-replaceable modules where surface-mount constraints do not apply. |
Compared with SN74ACT245DBR and 74ACT245PC, CD74ACT245SM96 offers the smallest PCB area (7.2mm × 7.8mm), highest thermal resistance (105.4°C/W), and optimized SSOP lead geometry for fine-pitch automated assembly - making it preferred for high-density, production-scale industrial and automotive PCBs.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature for CD74ACT245SM96?
The CD74ACT245SM96 is rated for continuous operation from –55°C to +125°C, validated per manufacturer specifications across the full industrial and extended temperature range. This rating applies to the SSOP-20 (DB) package variant and is confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings and Recommended Operating Conditions tables of the official TI datasheet SCHS245D.
Does CD74ACT245SM96 support 3.3V logic interfacing?
No - CD74ACT245SM96 is an ACT-family device designed exclusively for 4.5V–5.5V operation. Its input thresholds (VIH = 2.0V, VIL = 0.8V) and output voltage levels are specified only within that supply range. For 3.3V systems, TI recommends the AC-family variant (e.g., CD74AC245SM96) or dedicated level translators, not CD74ACT245SM96.
What is the pin 1 marking and orientation for CD74ACT245SM96?
CD74ACT245SM96 uses standard SSOP-20 pin 1 identification: a small circular index mark or beveled corner located at the top-left corner of the package body when viewed from the top with the leads pointing downward. Pin 1 resides in Quadrant Q1 of the tape-and-reel carrier, consistent with JEDEC MO-150 registration for DB packages.
How does the DIR pin control data direction in CD74ACT245SM96?
In CD74ACT245SM96, the DIR pin is an active-HIGH control: when DIR = HIGH, data flows from A-port (pins 2–9) to B-port (pins 11–18); when DIR = LOW, data flows from B-port to A-port. This bidirectional control operates independently of OE, which only enables/disables output drivers - DIR defines the signal path direction.
Is CD74ACT245SM96 RoHS compliant and lead-free?
Yes - CD74ACT245SM96 is RoHS compliant with lead finish NIPDAU (Nickel/Palladium/Gold), as documented in TI's PACKAGE OPTION ADDENDUM. It carries MSL Level-1 rating (unlimited floor life at ≤30°C/60% RH) and is qualified for Pb-free reflow per JEDEC J-STD-020, supporting standard 260°C peak reflow profiles.
