Product details
Overview
CY74FCT2245SOCT from Texas Instruments is an 8-bit noninverting bidirectional transceiver with 3-state outputs, 25-Ω output series resistors, Ioff partial-power-down support, and TTL-compatible logic levels. It operates at 4.75–5.25 V, delivers ±12 mA/±15 mA drive, and targets bus interface applications in industrial control backplanes and legacy data-path upgrades.
For engineers reviewing the CY74FCT2245SOCT datasheet, CY74FCT2245SOCT pinout, CY74FCT2245SOCT application, or CY74FCT2245SOCT equivalent, key selection factors include its 4.1 ns propagation delay (CY74FCT2245CT variant), 25-Ω integrated output termination, Ioff protection for hot-swap scenarios, and SOIC-20 package compatibility with legacy FCT-family layouts.
Technical Context
This device implements a dual-bus bidirectional transceiver architecture controlled by independent T/R (transmit/receive) and OE (output enable) inputs. The T/R signal determines data flow direction (A→B on high, B→A on low), while OE forces both ports into high-impedance state when asserted high.
It integrates edge-rate control circuitry and 25-Ω series output resistors to suppress transmission-line reflections, enabling direct replacement of CY74FCT245T in noise-sensitive systems. Ioff functionality disables outputs during power-down, preventing backflow current when VCC = 0 V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 4.75–5.25 V - Ensures stable operation across industrial-grade 5 V rails with ±5% tolerance. |
| Propagation Delay | 1.5–4.1 ns - Enables high-speed bus arbitration in sub-5 ns timing-critical data paths. |
| Output Drive | 12 mA sink / 15 mA source - Supports driving 50 Ω transmission lines and TTL loads without external buffers. |
| Output Termination | 25 Ω series resistor - Reduces signal reflections on PCB traces, eliminating need for discrete series resistors. |
| Ioff Current | ±1 µA at VCC = 0 V - Prevents damaging back-current during partial power-down or hot-insertion sequences. |
| ESD Protection | 2000-V HBM - Meets JEDEC JESD22-A114A for robust handling in manufacturing and field service. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - Qualified for extended industrial ambient conditions without derating. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOIC-20 (DW), 7.5 mm × 12.8 mm body, 1.27 mm pitch, 2.65 mm max height per JEDEC MS-013.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (T/R) | Direction Control Input | Active-high enables A→B data flow; active-low enables B→A - defines real-time bus arbitration polarity. |
| 2–9 (A0–A7) | Port A Bidirectional I/O | Noninverting data path pins tied to local bus segment; high-impedance when OE = high or VCC = 0. |
| 10 (GND) | Ground Reference | Primary return path for all I/O and internal logic; must be low-inductance connection for noise immunity. |
| 11 (VCC) | Power Supply | 5 V supply input with bypass capacitor requirement; powers internal logic and output drivers. |
| 12 (OE) | Output Enable Input | Active-high disables both A and B ports simultaneously - critical for bus contention avoidance. |
| 13–20 (B0–B7) | Port B Bidirectional I/O | Noninverting data path pins tied to remote bus segment; functionally identical to A-side with direction set by T/R. |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bidirectional transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74FCT245ATSOCT | Same SOIC-20 package, but lacks integrated 25-Ω output resistors and edge-rate control. | Requires external series termination resistors; higher SSN in dense routing. | Select only if cost sensitivity outweighs noise performance and board space constraints. |
| 74LVC245APWRE4 | 3.3 V only (1.65–3.6 V), 20-pin TSSOP, lower drive (24 mA sink), no Ioff. | Not suitable for 5 V legacy systems; requires level-shifting for mixed-voltage designs. | Choose only for new 3.3 V designs prioritizing low static power over 5 V interoperability. |
Compared with SN74FCT245ATSOCT and 74LVC245APWRE4, CY74FCT2245SOCT uniquely combines 5 V operation, integrated 25-Ω termination, Ioff, and FCT-family pin compatibility - making it the sole option for noise-critical, hot-swap-capable 5 V bus upgrades without layout change.

FAQ
What is the maximum propagation delay specification for CY74FCT2245SOCT at 5 V?
The CY74FCT2245SOCT has a maximum propagation delay of 4.1 ns (tPLH/tPHL) under recommended operating conditions (VCC = 4.75–5.25 V, TA = –40°C to +85°C). This value applies to the 'C' speed grade variant, which CY74FCT2245SOCT implements per TI's ordering nomenclature and datasheet SCCS037B revision November 2001.
Does CY74FCT2245SOCT support hot-swap operation?
Yes, CY74FCT2245SOCT supports hot-swap operation via its Ioff circuitry, which limits current to ±1 µA when VCC = 0 V and any I/O pin is biased to 4.5 V. This prevents damaging back-current flow during insertion into a live 5 V backplane - a key feature confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings and Electrical Characteristics tables of the official datasheet.
What is the purpose of the 25-Ω output series resistors in CY74FCT2245SOCT?
The 25-Ω output series resistors in CY74FCT2245SOCT are integrated to dampen transmission-line reflections on PCB traces, reducing ringing and overshoot that cause timing violations. As stated in the datasheet description, this feature allows CY74FCT2245SOCT to replace CY74FCT245T without adding external termination components - directly improving signal integrity in bus-oriented applications.
Is CY74FCT2245SOCT pin-compatible with CY74FCT245T?
Yes, CY74FCT2245SOCT is functionally and pinout-compatible with CY74FCT245T, as explicitly stated in the datasheet's "Function and Pinout Compatible With FCT and F Logic" header and confirmed by identical SOIC-20 pin assignments (T/R, A0–A7, GND, VCC, OE, B0–B7). This enables drop-in replacement in existing designs without PCB modification.
What logic levels does CY74FCT2245SOCT accept and drive?
CY74FCT2245SOCT fully accepts and drives standard TTL logic levels: VIL ≤ 0.8 V (max), VIH ≥ 2.0 V (min), VOL ≤ 0.55 V (max at IOL = 12 mA), and VOH ≥ 2.4 V (min at IOH = –15 mA). These values are specified in the Recommended Operating Conditions and Electrical Characteristics sections of the TI datasheet SCCS037B.
