Product details
Overview
CD74FCT245M96 from Texas Instruments is a BiCMOS octal bus transceiver with 3-state outputs, designed for bidirectional data flow between two 8-bit buses in 5-V digital systems. It features noninverted outputs, 64-mA sink capability per output, 3.7-V output voltage swing limit, and controlled edge rates to suppress EMI. It operates across 0°C to 70°C and is used in backplane interface, memory expansion, and system-level bus isolation applications.
For engineers reviewing the CD74FCT245M96 datasheet, CD74FCT245M96 pinout, CD74FCT245M96 application, or CD74FCT245M96 equivalent, key selection criteria include direction-control logic behavior, 3-state enable timing (ten = 1.5–9.5 ns), output current drive strength, VCC bounce mitigation via limited VOH, and SOIC-20 package compatibility with industrial PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The CD74FCT245M96 implements a dual-bus transceiver architecture with separate DIR (direction) and OE (output enable) control inputs. Its BiCMOS output stage combines bipolar pull-down and CMOS pull-up devices to clamp VOH at ~3.7 V (two diode drops below VCC), reducing power-bus ringing and ground bounce during simultaneous switching.
It supports bidirectional data transfer: when DIR = L and OE = L, B-bus data flows to A-bus; when DIR = H and OE = L, A-bus data flows to B-bus; OE = H forces all outputs into high-impedance state regardless of DIR. Input isolation from VCC and SCR latch-up resistance are built into the process design.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 4.75 V to 5.25 V - ensures stable operation under standard TTL/5-V logic rail tolerances. |
| Output Sink Current | 64 mA per pin - enables direct driving of heavy capacitive loads or multiple TTL inputs without external buffers. |
| Propagation Delay | 1.5 ns to 7 ns - supports high-speed bus handshaking in real-time control and data acquisition systems. |
| Output Voltage Swing | 0 V to 3.7 V - limits VCC overshoot and EMI generation during fast edge transitions. |
| Input Thresholds | VIL = 0.8 V, VIH = 2.0 V - compatible with TTL and 5-V CMOS logic families without level-shifting. |
| Power Dissipation Cap. | 49 pF - quantifies dynamic power consumption at 1 MHz, critical for thermal budgeting in dense layouts. |
| Operating Temperature | 0°C to 70°C - validated for commercial-grade embedded systems and industrial control panels. |
Pinout & Package
CD74FCT245M96 is housed in a 20-pin SOIC (DW) package with 1.27-mm pitch, 7.5-mm body width, and 2.65-mm maximum height - optimized for automated SMT assembly and space-constrained PCBs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (DIR) | Direction Control Input | Determines data flow direction: L = B→A, H = A→B; must be stable before OE activation. |
| 2–9 (A1–A8) | A-Bus Data Inputs/Outputs | Bidirectional I/O pins connected to A-side bus; high-impedance when OE = H. |
| 10 (GND) | Ground Reference | Primary return path for all internal logic and output currents; requires low-inductance PCB connection. |
| 11 (VCC) | Positive Supply | 5-V DC supply input; decoupling capacitor required within 1 cm to suppress switching noise. |
| 12–19 (B1–B8) | B-Bus Data Inputs/Outputs | Bidirectional I/O pins connected to B-side bus; isolated from A-bus when OE = H. |
| 20 (OE) | Output Enable Input | Active-low control: L enables transceiver, H places all A/B pins in high-Z state for bus isolation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| BiCMOS Output Architecture | Combines bipolar sink strength (64 mA) with CMOS input compatibility and low quiescent current. |
| Controlled Edge Rates | Reduces signal integrity issues like ground bounce and crosstalk in multi-channel parallel buses. |
| Input/Output Isolation from VCC | Prevents latch-up and false triggering during power sequencing or brownout conditions. |
| SCR Latch-Up Resistance | Guaranteed immunity to latch-up events per JEDEC JESD78, enabling robust operation in noisy environments. |
| 3-State Output Enable Timing | Enable/disable delays (ten/tdis = 1.5–9.5 ns) support precise bus arbitration in synchronous systems. |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal bus transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74F245N | Same function but TTL-process; higher ICC (120 mA typical), no VOH clamping, slower tpd (10 ns max). | Lacks EMI suppression features; unsuitable where VCC bounce or radiated emissions must be minimized. | Choose only if legacy TTL compatibility is mandatory and board layout allows extra decoupling. |
| 74ACT245SCX | Advanced CMOS; rail-to-rail VOH/VOL, 24-mA drive, lower Cpd (25 pF), but no BiCMOS EMI control. | Higher speed margin but greater susceptibility to ground bounce on dense boards with simultaneous switching. | Prefer for low-power, high-frequency applications where EMI is managed elsewhere in the system. |
Compared with SN74F245N and 74ACT245SCX, the CD74FCT245M96 uniquely balances strong drive (64 mA), EMI-suppressing VOH clamping (3.7 V), and industrial temperature support - making it optimal for noise-sensitive, medium-speed bus isolation where reliability trumps raw speed.

FAQ
What is the recommended power supply decoupling for CD74FCT245M96?
Place a 0.1-µF ceramic capacitor between VCC (pin 11) and GND (pin 10), located within 1 cm of the CD74FCT245M96 package. For systems with high simultaneous switching noise, add a 4.7-µF tantalum capacitor nearby. This ensures stable 5-V operation and suppresses VCC bounce caused by the CD74FCT245M96's 64-mA output transitions.
How does CD74FCT245M96 prevent bus contention during power-up?
The CD74FCT245M96 enters high-impedance state at power-up when OE is unasserted. To guarantee isolation, tie OE to VCC via a pullup resistor (minimum value determined by driver sink capability). This ensures the CD74FCT245M96 remains disabled until system control logic actively asserts OE = L, preventing unintended bus loading during boot sequences.
Can CD74FCT245M96 interface directly with 3.3-V logic devices?
No - CD74FCT245M96 is a 5-V-only device with VIH = 2.0 V and VIL = 0.8 V, but its outputs swing to 3.7 V (not 5 V), and inputs tolerate only 0–VCC. Direct connection to 3.3-V logic risks overvoltage damage or marginal noise margins. Use a level translator such as TXB0108 or discrete resistive divider when interfacing with CD74FCT245M96 in mixed-voltage systems.
What is the meaning of "SCR latch-up-resistant" in CD74FCT245M96 specifications?
"SCR latch-up-resistant" means the CD74FCT245M96 uses a BiCMOS process and circuit layout that prevents parasitic silicon-controlled rectifier (SCR) conduction paths from triggering during voltage transients or ESD events. This guarantees the CD74FCT245M96 will not enter destructive high-current latch-up mode - a critical reliability feature for industrial equipment exposed to electrical surges or rapid power cycling.
Is CD74FCT245M96 pin-compatible with CD74FCT245M?
Yes - CD74FCT245M96 and CD74FCT245M share identical SOIC-20 (DW) package dimensions, pinout, and electrical specifications. The "96" suffix denotes tape-and-reel packaging (2000 units/reel, MSL Level-1), while CD74FCT245M typically refers to tube-packaged variants. Both function identically in-circuit, and CD74FCT245M96 can replace CD74FCT245M without layout changes.
