Product details
Overview
CY74FCT245ATPC from Texas Instruments is an 8-bit noninverting bidirectional transceiver with 3-state outputs, designed for bus-oriented data routing between two TTL/CMOS-compatible buses. It features 64-mA sink / 32-mA source drive strength, 4.6-ns max propagation delay (tPLH/tPHL), Ioff partial-power-down support, and edge-rate control for noise reduction. Used in industrial control backplanes and legacy system bus isolation.
For engineers reviewing the CY74FCT245ATPC datasheet, CY74FCT245ATPC pinout, CY74FCT245ATPC application, or CY74FCT245ATPC equivalent, key selection criteria include its 20-pin PDIP package, –40°C to +85°C operating range, 4.5–5.5-V supply compatibility, and direction-control (T/R) plus output-enable (OE) logic interface.
Technical Context
The CY74FCT245ATPC implements dual-bus bidirectional data flow via a single transmit/receive (T/R) control input: low enables B→A transfer, high enables A→B transfer. Output enable (OE) independently places both A and B ports into high-impedance state when asserted high.
Its FCT-family architecture delivers TTL-compatible input thresholds (VIH = 2 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max) and CMOS-level VOH (≥2.4 V at IOH = –32 mA) with matched rise/fall times. Ioff circuitry limits reverse current to ±1 µA when VCC = 0 V, enabling safe hot-insertion and partial-power-down operation.
Key Specifications

FAQ
What is the maximum clock/data rate supported by CY74FCT245ATPC?
The CY74FCT245ATPC has a maximum propagation delay of 4.6 ns (tPLH/tPHL), supporting reliable data transfer up to approximately 200 MHz in well-terminated, low-skew bus configurations. Its matched rise/fall times and edge-rate control ensure clean signal edges critical for synchronous bus protocols.
Does CY74FCT245ATPC support hot-swap or partial-power-down operation?
Yes, CY74FCT245ATPC incorporates Ioff circuitry that limits reverse current to ±1 µA when VCC = 0 V. This allows safe insertion/removal while other system rails remain active, making it suitable for modular backplanes and field-replaceable units where power sequencing must be managed independently.
Can CY74FCT245ATPC interface between 3.3-V and 5-V logic domains?
No - CY74FCT245ATPC is a 5-V-only device (VCC = 4.5–5.5 V) with TTL-compatible inputs and CMOS-level outputs. It does not tolerate 3.3-V supply or input voltages beyond absolute maximum ratings (–0.5 V to 7 V). For mixed-voltage translation, use dedicated level-shifters like TXB0108 or SN74AVCH series instead of CY74FCT245ATPC.
What is the function of the T/R and OE pins on CY74FCT245ATPC?
On CY74FCT245ATPC, T/R (pin 20) controls data direction: high enables A→B transfer, low enables B→A transfer. OE (pin 1) is active-high output enable - when high, both A and B ports enter high-impedance state, effectively disconnecting the device from both buses regardless of T/R state.
Is CY74FCT245ATPC pin-compatible with older 74LS245 or 74ALS245 devices?
Yes - CY74FCT245ATPC uses the industry-standard 20-pin DIP pinout matching 74LS245 and 74ALS245, including identical A/B port assignments, T/R, OE, VCC, and GND locations. However, it offers superior drive strength (64/32 mA vs. 24/15 mA), faster speed, and Ioff protection not present in LS/ALS families.
