Product details
Overview
CY74FCT2245ATQCT from Texas Instruments is an 8-bit noninverting bidirectional transceiver with 3-state outputs, designed for bus interface applications. It features 25-Ω output series resistors, Ioff partial-power-down support, ±1 µA Ioff current at VCC = 0 V, 4.6 ns max propagation delay (tPLH/tPHL), and operates across –40°C to +85°C. Used in industrial backplane data routing where noise immunity and hot-swap compatibility are critical.
For engineers reviewing the CY74FCT2245ATQCT datasheet, CY74FCT2245ATQCT pinout, CY74FCT2245ATQCT application, or CY74FCT2245ATQCT equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, directional control logic, thermal resistance (θJA = 68°C/W), ESD ratings (2000-V HBM), and real-world bus isolation use cases - all confirmed against TI's SCCS037B revision November 2001 production data sheet.
Technical Context
The CY74FCT2245ATQCT implements TTL-compatible input thresholds (VIL = 0.8 V, VVIH = 2.0 V) and drives 12 mA sink / 15 mA source into 50-pF loads. Its edge-rate control circuitry limits dV/dt to suppress transmission-line reflections, while integrated 25-Ω series termination resistors eliminate external components on A/B ports.
Directional flow is controlled by the active-high T/R signal: high enables A→B transfer; low enables B→A. Output-enable (OE) is active-low - when high, both ports enter high-impedance state. Ioff protection actively disables outputs during power-down, blocking reverse current up to ±1 µA at VOUT = 4.5 V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 4.75 V to 5.25 V - ensures stable operation under industrial rail tolerances without regulator headroom loss |
| Propagation Delay | Max 4.6 ns (tPLH/tPHL) - supports 100+ MHz bus clocking with deterministic timing margins |
| Output Drive | 12 mA sink / 15 mA source - sufficient to drive multiple FCT/TTL inputs without fanout degradation |
| Ioff Current | ±1 µA at VCC = 0 V - prevents backflow damage during live insertion or partial system shutdown |
| ESD Rating | 2000-V HBM - exceeds JEDEC JESD22-A114A for robust handling in manufacturing and field service |
| Thermal Resistance | θJA = 68°C/W (SSOP-20) - enables sustained 2.4 mA typical ICCD operation without heatsinking in 40°C ambient |
| Input Hysteresis | Vhys = 0.2 V - rejects noise on control lines (T/R, OE) in electrically noisy industrial environments |
Pinout & Package
SSOP-20 (DBQ) package: 7.4 mm × 5.3 mm body, 0.65 mm pitch, 1.2 mm max height, moisture sensitivity level 2 (260°C peak reflow). Gull-wing leads enable reliable automated assembly and visual solder-joint inspection.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (T/R) | Transmit/Receive Control | Active-high: enables A→B data flow; active-low: enables B→A - defines real-time bus directionality |
| 2–9 (A0–A7) | Port A Bidirectional I/O | Noninverting data path; internally terminated - connects to microcontroller or FPGA local bus |
| 10 (GND) | Ground Reference | Primary return path for all I/O and supply currents - must be low-inductance connection |
| 11 (VCC) | Power Supply | 5 V nominal supply - bypassing with 0.1 µF ceramic near pin required for noise suppression |
| 12 (OE) | Output Enable | Active-low: disables both A and B ports simultaneously into high-Z - essential for bus arbitration |
| 13–20 (B0–B7) | Port B Bidirectional I/O | Noninverting data path; matched 25-Ω series resistance - interfaces to legacy TTL peripherals or memory modules |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated 25-Ω Series Termination | Eliminates need for 16 external resistors - reduces PCB area, BOM count, and signal integrity risk from layout mismatch |
| Ioff Partial-Power-Down Protection | Prevents destructive current flow when VCC is unpowered but A/B buses remain live - enables safe hot-swap in modular systems |
| TTL-Compatible Logic Levels | Accepts standard 0.8 V / 2.0 V thresholds and delivers 2.4 V VOH min - ensures interoperability with legacy 74LS/74F devices |
| Edge-Rate Controlled Outputs | Slows transition times to limit EMI generation - meets Class B radiated emissions without added ferrites or shielding |
| 3-State Output Architecture | Simultaneous high-Z disable of all 16 I/Os via single OE pin - simplifies bus contention management in multi-master designs |
Applications

Use Value: 12 mA sink capability drives 10+ TTL loads directly; OE pin allows seamless handoff between configuration and runtime modes. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bidirectional bus transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74FCT245ATPWR | Same 4.6 ns speed grade, TSSOP-20 (PW) package, θJA = 70°C/W, identical Ioff and ESD specs | 0.65 mm pitch vs. SSOP's 0.65 mm - identical lead spacing but thinner profile (1.2 mm vs. 1.75 mm height) | Select for space-constrained layouts requiring lowest Z-height; verify thermal derating at >50°C ambient due to higher θJA |
| 74AC245SCX | Higher speed (3.5 ns), wider VCC range (2–6 V), no integrated termination, Ioff not specified | CMOS input thresholds (1.5 V/3.5 V) - incompatible with TTL-level control signals without level translation | Choose only when full 2–6 V operation and sub-4 ns timing are mandatory; requires external 25-Ω resistors and separate Ioff mitigation |
Compared with SN74FCT245ATPWR, CY74FCT2245ATQCT offers identical timing and noise performance in a slightly taller but thermally superior SSOP package; versus 74AC245SCX, it provides guaranteed TTL compatibility, built-in termination, and Ioff protection - eliminating four design risks in industrial bus systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for CY74FCT2245ATQCT?
CY74FCT2245ATQCT is rated for continuous operation from –40°C to +85°C ambient temperature. This range is validated per TI's recommended operating conditions and supported by thermal characterization (θJA = 68°C/W) and electrical testing across the full span. The device maintains 4.6 ns max propagation delay and 12 mA output drive within this envelope.
Does CY74FCT2245ATQCT support hot-swap or partial-power-down operation?
Yes, CY74FCT2245ATQCT supports partial-power-down via its Ioff circuitry. When VCC = 0 V and any I/O pin is biased to 4.5 V, leakage is limited to ±1 µA - preventing damaging reverse current flow. This feature is explicitly characterized in the datasheet and enables safe insertion/removal in live-backplane systems without auxiliary protection circuitry.
How does the 25-Ω output series resistance in CY74FCT2245ATQCT improve signal integrity?
The 25-Ω on-die series resistors in CY74FCT2245ATQCT match typical PCB trace impedance (50–75 Ω) to dampen reflections at the driver end. This eliminates ringing and overshoot on unterminated stubs up to 15 cm, reducing bit errors in high-speed bus applications. Measured Rout = 20–40 Ω confirms consistent termination across process/voltage/temperature.
Can CY74FCT2245ATQCT replace CY74FCT245T in existing designs?
Yes - CY74FCT2245ATQCT is functionally and pinout-compatible with CY74FCT245T, as stated in TI's datasheet: "The CY74FCT2245T can replace the CY74FCT245T in an existing design." Both share identical pin mapping, logic behavior, and 3-state control. CY74FCT2245ATQCT adds improved noise characteristics and tighter propagation delay (4.6 ns vs. 4.1 ns for 'C' grade), making it a direct upgrade.
What are the absolute maximum ratings for CY74FCT2245ATQCT supply voltage and I/O pins?
CY74FCT2245ATQCT has an absolute maximum supply voltage of –0.5 V to +7 V, and DC input/output voltage range of –0.5 V to +7 V. These limits apply regardless of power state. Exceeding them risks permanent damage. Recommended operation remains 4.75–5.25 V for VCC, with inputs constrained to 0–5.25 V under normal bias conditions.
