Product details
Overview
CD74HCT245M from Texas Instruments is a high-speed octal three-state bidirectional bus transceiver in SOIC-20 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 between microcontrollers and peripheral subsystems.
For engineers reviewing the CD74HCT245M datasheet, CD74HCT245M pinout, CD74HCT245M application, or CD74HCT245M equivalent, key selection criteria include LSTTL-compatible input thresholds (VIH ≥ 2.0V, VIL ≤ 0.8V), three-state control via DIR/OE pins, bus driving capability up to 15 LSTTL loads, and industrial-grade thermal performance in SOIC packaging.
Technical Context
The CD74HCT245M implements non-inverting bidirectional data flow between two 8-bit buses (A0–A7 and B0–B7) under direction control of the DIR input and output enable/disable control via OE. Its HCT logic family ensures direct compatibility with LSTTL inputs while delivering CMOS power efficiency.
It features balanced propagation delays (tPHL ≈ tPLH), low output transition times (≤15ns at VCC = 5V, CL = 50pF), and guaranteed three-state leakage (IOZ ≤ ±5µA at -55°C to +125°C), enabling reliable hot-swap and bus-sharing operation in mixed-voltage systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 4.5V to 5.5V - Ensures robust operation across standard 5V rail tolerances without level-shifting. |
| Propagation Delay | 10ns typical (A↔B, CL = 15pF, TA = 25°C) - Supports >50MHz bus toggle rates in synchronous interfaces. |
| Output Drive | ±25mA per pin - Sustains signal integrity when driving 15 LSTTL loads or 50pF bus capacitance. |
| Input Thresholds | VIH ≥ 2.0V, VIL ≤ 0.8V - Guarantees noise-immune interoperability with legacy TTL logic families. |
| Operating Temp | -55°C to +125°C - Qualified for aerospace, automotive engine control, and industrial motor drive environments. |
| Three-State Leakage | ±5µA max (-55°C to +125°C) - Prevents bus contention current during isolation mode in multi-master systems. |
| Power Dissipation Cap. | 55pF - Enables accurate dynamic power estimation (PD = VCC² × fi × (CPD + CL)) for thermal design. |
Pinout & Package
CD74HCT245M is housed in a 20-pin SOIC (DW) package with 1.27mm pitch, 7.6mm width, and 2.65mm max height-designed for surface-mount assembly and IPC-7351-compliant land patterns.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (DIR) | Direction Control Input | Low = B→A data flow; High = A→B data flow; referenced to VCC/GND, TTL-compatible. |
| 2–9 (A0–A7) | Bus A I/O Port | Bidirectional data lines tied to local bus; high-impedance when OE = High or device powered down. |
| 10 (GND) | Ground Reference | Primary return path for all I/O and supply currents; requires low-inductance PCB connection. |
| 11–18 (B0–B7) | Bus B I/O Port | Bidirectional data lines connected to remote bus; electrically isolated when OE = High. |
| 19 (VCC) | Positive Supply | 4.5V–5.5V CMOS supply; bypassing with 0.1µF ceramic capacitor near pin recommended. |
| 20 (OE) | Output Enable Input | Active-Low: OE = Low enables transceiver; OE = High forces all I/O into high-impedance state. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| LSTTL-Compatible Inputs | VIH ≥ 2.0V and VIL ≤ 0.8V at VCC = 5V - Eliminates need for external level shifters when interfacing with 74LS/ALS logic. |
| High-Drive Three-State Outputs | ±25mA sink/source per pin - Drives long traces, multiple receivers, or capacitive loads without external buffers. |
| Wide Temperature Range | -55°C to +125°C operation - Validated for use in under-hood automotive ECUs and military-grade avionics. |
| Low Dynamic Power | CPD = 55pF - Reduces switching power by >50% vs. equivalent LSTTL parts at same frequency and load. |
| Controlled Transition Times | tTHL/tTLH ≤ 15ns (CL = 50pF) - Minimizes EMI and ground bounce in dense PCB layouts. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal bus transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74HCT245N | Same HCT logic, PDIP-20 package; higher θJA (69°C/W) vs. CD74HCT245M (58°C/W); identical electrical specs. | Preferred for through-hole prototyping or legacy board upgrades where SOIC rework is impractical. | Select SN74HCT245N only when manual soldering or socket-based validation is required. |
| 74ACT245SCX | ACT family: 4.5V–5.5V, but VIH/VIL tighter (VIH ≥ 2.2V, VIL ≤ 0.8V); faster tPLH/tPHL (7.5ns typ); higher ICC (max 160µA). | Suitable for high-speed test fixtures needing sub-8ns timing margin, but less tolerant of marginal TTL input levels. | Choose 74ACT245SCX only when propagation delay <8ns is mandatory and input noise immunity is secondary. |

FAQ
What is the maximum clock/data rate supported by CD74HCT245M?
The CD74HCT245M does not operate on a clock; it is a combinatorial transceiver. Its 10ns typical propagation delay (CL = 15pF) supports reliable data handshaking up to ~50MHz in synchronous bus protocols. For sustained toggling, limit frequency based on dynamic power (PD = VCC² × fi × (CPD + CL)) and thermal limits.
Can CD74HCT245M interface directly with 3.3V logic devices?
No-CD74HCT245M requires 4.5V–5.5V VCC and has LSTTL-compatible inputs (VIH ≥ 2.0V), but its outputs swing rail-to-rail (0V/5V). Direct connection to 3.3V-only inputs risks overvoltage damage. Use a dual-supply level shifter or series resistor + clamp diode network for safe interfacing.
How does the DIR pin function in CD74HCT245M?
In CD74HCT245M, the DIR pin controls data direction unidirectionally: DIR = Low enables B→A transfer; DIR = High enables A→B transfer. It has no effect when OE = High (all I/O in high-Z). DIR must be stable before data launch to avoid metastability-induced glitches on the driven bus.
Is CD74HCT245M pin-compatible with CD74HC245M?
Yes-CD74HCT245M and CD74HC245M share identical SOIC-20 pinout, package dimensions, and terminal functions. However, CD74HC245M operates from 2V–6V and lacks LSTTL input compatibility; substituting it for CD74HCT245M may cause logic-level misreads in 5V TTL systems.
What is the recommended PCB layout practice for CD74HCT245M?
Place a 0.1µF X7R ceramic capacitor between VCC and GND within 3mm of pins 19 and 10. Route A/B bus traces as controlled-impedance differential pairs if length >50mm. Avoid routing sensitive analog traces beneath the device. Follow TI's DW0020A land pattern (IPC-7351 compliant) for reliable reflow soldering.
