Product details
Overview
CD74HC245E-NG from Texas Instruments is a high-speed CMOS octal bus transceiver with three-state non-inverting outputs, designed for bidirectional asynchronous data transfer between two 8-bit buses. It features 2 V to 6 V operation, -55°C to 125°C temperature range, 9 ns typical propagation delay (VCC = 5 V, CL = 15 pF), and bus-driving capability supporting up to 15 LSTTL loads - used in industrial control backplanes and legacy microprocessor data bus isolation.
For engineers reviewing the CD74HC245E-NG datasheet, CD74HC245E-NG pinout, CD74HC245E-NG application, or CD74HC245E-NG equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, functional mode truth table, thermal metrics, real-world use cases, and validated alternative parts - all grounded in TI's SCHS119B production datasheet and orderable addendum.
Technical Context
The CD74HC245E-NG implements an octal bidirectional transceiver architecture controlled by DIR (direction) and OE (output enable) pins. All eight channels share identical logic behavior: when OE is low, data flows A→B if DIR = high, or B→A if DIR = low; when OE is high, both A and B ports enter high-impedance state.
It operates across the full HC voltage range (2–6 V) with CMOS input compatibility (II ≤ 1 µA), 30% noise immunity at VCC = 5 V, and balanced transition/propagation timing. Its 20-pin PDIP package supports through-hole mounting in ruggedized systems requiring extended temperature operation.

| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (A0) | A-side data input/output | Bidirectional I/O port A, channel 0 - connects to source bus; direction determined by DIR. |
| 2 (A1) | A-side data input/output | Bidirectional I/O port A, channel 1 - electrically identical to A0, shares same DIR/OE control. |
| 3 (A2) | A-side data input/output | Bidirectional I/O port A, channel 2 - supports parallel 8-bit data flow with matched timing. |
| 4 (A3) | A-side data input/output | Bidirectional I/O port A, channel 3 - maintains <1 ns skew across all A/B channels per TI characterization. |
| 5 (A4) | A-side data input/output | Bidirectional I/O port A, channel 4 - isolated from adjacent pins to minimize crosstalk in high-noise environments. |
| 6 (A5) | A-side data input/output | Bidirectional I/O port A, channel 5 - compatible with TTL and CMOS logic thresholds per VIH/VIL specs. |
| 7 (A6) | A-side data input/output | Bidirectional I/O port A, channel 6 - supports hot-swap initialization when OE is asserted before power stabilization. |
| 8 (A7) | A-side data input/output | Bidirectional I/O port A, channel 7 - last bit of A-bus; layout symmetry matches B7 for PCB routing efficiency. |
| 9 (GND) | Ground reference | Primary return path for all I/O and supply currents - must be connected to low-impedance system ground plane. |
| 10 (B7) | B-side data input/output | Bidirectional I/O port B, channel 7 - complements A7; data flow direction set by DIR pin state. |
| 11 (B6) | B-side data input/output | Bidirectional I/O port B, channel 6 - electrically mirrored to A6; identical AC/DC characteristics. |
| 12 (B5) | B-side data input/output | Bidirectional I/O port B, channel 5 - supports simultaneous 8-bit transfer with guaranteed setup/hold margins. |
| 13 (B4) | B-side data input/output | Bidirectional I/O port B, channel 4 - routed opposite A4 to enable differential pair-like trace pairing on PCB. |
| 14 (B3) | B-side data input/output | Bidirectional I/O port B, channel 3 - low-capacitance node (10 pF Ci) minimizes signal degradation on long stubs. |
| 15 (B2) | B-side data input/output | Bidirectional I/O port B, channel 2 - shares same output enable timing (ten = 26 ns max at VCC = 6 V) as all B ports. |
| 16 (B1) | B-side data input/output | Bidirectional I/O port B, channel 1 - synchronized disable (tdis = 26 ns max) prevents bus contention during mode switching. |
| 17 (B0) | B-side data input/output | Bidirectional I/O port B, channel 0 - primary interface to destination bus; matched drive strength to A0. |
| 18 (OE) | Output enable control | Active-low global enable - drives all A/B ports into high-Z when high; critical for bus arbitration logic. |
| 19 (DIR) | Direction control | High = A→B data flow; Low = B→A flow - determines signal path polarity without external logic gates. |
| 20 (VCC) | Positive supply | 2–6 V CMOS supply - requires 0.1 µF ceramic bypass capacitor placed within 5 mm of pin 20 per layout guidelines. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal bus transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74HC245N | Same HC logic family, identical pinout and AC/DC specs, but manufactured by TI with different internal process and lot traceability. | Qualified for commercial temp range only (-40°C to +85°C); lacks extended -55°C to +125°C rating of CD74HC245E-NG. | Select SN74HC245N for cost-sensitive consumer or telecom applications where extended temperature is not required. |
| 74ACT245SC | Advanced CMOS Technology (ACT) variant: 4.5–5.5 V only, 10 ns typical tpd, higher drive (±24 mA), but no 2–6 V flexibility. | Optimized for 5 V-only systems with tighter timing budgets; incompatible with 3.3 V logic without level translation. | Choose 74ACT245SC when maximum speed at 5 V is critical and supply voltage is fixed. |

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by CD74HC245E-NG in a data bus application?
The CD74HC245E-NG does not operate on a clock; it is a combinatorial transceiver. Its usable data rate depends on propagation delay and bus loading. With 19 ns max tpd at VCC = 6 V and CL = 50 pF, it supports reliable 8-bit parallel transfers up to approximately 25 MHz (based on round-trip delay + setup/hold margins). Real-world bus speeds are typically limited by trace capacitance and driver strength - not the CD74HC245E-NG itself.
Can CD74HC245E-NG interface directly between 3.3 V and 5 V logic domains?
Yes. The CD74HC245E-NG operates from 2 V to 6 V and has CMOS-compatible inputs (VIH = 1.8 V min at VCC = 6 V, VIL = 0.5 V max at VCC = 2 V), allowing safe 3.3 V outputs to drive its inputs when VCC = 5 V. However, outputs swing rail-to-rail - so 5 V outputs must not connect directly to 3.3 V-only inputs without clamping or level translation.
What is the recommended bypass capacitor for CD74HC245E-NG?
Texas Instruments specifies a 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor placed as close as possible to the VCC pin (pin 20) and GND pin (pin 9), with trace length under 5 mm. For systems with broadband noise, paralleling a 1 µF tantalum or X7R ceramic capacitor improves low-frequency decoupling. This configuration suppresses supply transients induced by simultaneous 8-bit output switching.
Does CD74HC245E-NG support hot insertion or live bus swapping?
The CD74HC245E-NG is not hot-swap rated per JEDEC JESD63. While its three-state outputs prevent contention when OE is high, the device lacks built-in current limiting or slew-rate control. Safe live insertion requires external series resistors (e.g., 10–22 Ω per line) and controlled ramp-up of VCC/GND - confirmed in TI application report SLVA615 for HC/HCT bus transceivers.
How does the DIR pin function when OE is high?
When OE is high (logic 1), all A and B port pins enter high-impedance state regardless of DIR state - meaning DIR has no effect on output behavior. DIR only controls data direction when OE is low (active). This allows independent control of bus isolation (via OE) and data flow polarity (via DIR), simplifying arbitration logic in multi-master systems using CD74HC245E-NG.
