Product details
Overview
CY74FCT245ATQCT from Texas Instruments is an 8-bit noninverting bidirectional transceiver with 3-state outputs, designed for bus-oriented data transfer between asynchronous systems. It features 64-mA sink / 32-mA source drive strength, 4.6-ns max propagation delay (tPLH/tPHL), Ioff partial-power-down support, and TTL-compatible input/output logic levels. It operates across –40°C to +85°C in SSOP-20 package for industrial bus interface applications.
For engineers reviewing the CY74FCT245ATQCT datasheet, CY74FCT245ATQCT pinout, CY74FCT245ATQCT application, or CY74FCT245ATQCT equivalent, key selection criteria include direction control (T/R), output enable (OE), 3-state bus isolation, drive capability matching legacy FCT logic, and SSOP-20 thermal performance (θJA = 68°C/W).
Technical Context
The CY74FCT245ATQCT implements dual-bus bidirectional data flow controlled by active-high T/R and OE inputs: T/R = high enables A→B transfer; T/R = low enables B→A transfer; OE = high forces all outputs into high-impedance state. Its edge-rate control circuitry reduces switching noise while maintaining matched rise/fall times.
It supports partial-power-down via Ioff, which disables outputs and blocks current backflow when VCC = 0 V (Ioff ≤ ±1 µA). Fully compatible with TTL input thresholds (VIL = 0.8 V, VIH = 2.0 V) and delivers VOH ≥ 2.4 V (min) at IOH = –32 mA and VOL ≤ 0.55 V (max) at IOL = 64 mA under VCC = 4.75–5.25 V.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bidirectional bus transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| CY74FCT245CTQCT | 4.1-ns max propagation delay; identical pinout, drive strength, and package | Suitable where tighter timing margins are required (e.g., 33-MHz ISA-like buses) | Select when system timing budget demands <4.6 ns delay; otherwise CY74FCT245ATQCT offers better noise margin |
| SN74FCT245ATPWR | TSSOP-20 package (same pinout); 4.6-ns delay; same drive specs; RoHS-compliant NIPDAU finish | Preferred for new designs requiring finer-pitch surface-mount assembly and IPC-7351-compliant footprints | Choose for compatibility with automated optical inspection (AOI) and higher-density PCB layouts |
Compared with CY74FCT245CTQCT and SN74FCT245ATPWR, the CY74FCT245ATQCT provides optimal balance of noise immunity (edge-rate control), industrial temperature range, and SSOP-20 manufacturability-making it ideal for cost-sensitive, noise-prone industrial bus interfaces where 4.6-ns timing is sufficient.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock/data rate supported by the CY74FCT245ATQCT?
The CY74FCT245ATQCT does not operate on a clock; it is an asynchronous transceiver. Its 4.6-ns max propagation delay supports reliable data transfer up to approximately 100 MHz in well-terminated, low-capacitance bus configurations. Real-world achievable rate depends on trace length, load capacitance, and noise margin-designers should verify timing using tPLH/tPHL, tPZL/tPHZ, and system-level setup/hold analysis. The CY74FCT245ATQCT datasheet specifies no minimum pulse width, confirming suitability for burst-mode and irregular data transfers.
Does the CY74FCT245ATQCT support hot-swap or live-insertion?
Yes, the CY74FCT245ATQCT supports hot-swap via its Ioff feature: when VCC = 0 V, Ioff limits current flow to ±1 µA even if A/B pins are biased to 4.5 V, preventing damage during live insertion. This behavior is tested and specified per JESD78. However, proper board-level design-including series resistors, TVS diodes, and staggered pin lengths-is still required to meet full hot-swap compliance standards. The CY74FCT245ATQCT itself provides the foundational isolation needed for such implementations.
Can the CY74FCT245ATQCT be used with 3.3-V microcontrollers?
The CY74FCT245ATQCT is a 5-V-only device (VCC = 4.75–5.25 V) and is not 3.3-V tolerant on inputs. Direct connection to 3.3-V MCU I/O risks violating absolute maximum ratings (VI ≤ 7 V, but sustained >5.5 V may degrade reliability). For 3.3-V ↔ 5-V translation, use a dedicated level shifter (e.g., TXB0108) upstream of the CY74FCT245ATQCT, or select a 3.3-V–compatible transceiver like SN74LVC245A. The CY74FCT245ATQCT remains optimal only in pure 5-V systems.
What is the function of the T/R and OE pins on the CY74FCT245ATQCT?
On the CY74FCT245ATQCT, T/R (transmit/receive) controls data direction: T/R = high enables A→B transfer; T/R = low enables B→A transfer. OE (output enable) is active-low: OE = low enables outputs; OE = high places both A and B ports in high-impedance state, effectively disconnecting the device from both buses. These two controls operate independently-OE overrides T/R, ensuring bus isolation regardless of direction setting. This dual-control architecture enables flexible bus arbitration in multi-master systems.
Is the CY74FCT245ATQCT pin-compatible with older 74F245 or 74LS245 devices?
The CY74FCT245ATQCT is functionally and pinout-compatible with industry-standard 20-pin 74-series octal transceivers (e.g., 74F245, 74LS245) in SOIC and SSOP packages, sharing identical A0–A7, B0–B7, T/R, OE, VCC, and GND pin assignments. However, it is not a drop-in replacement for DIP-packaged variants due to differing package dimensions and thermal characteristics. Always verify PCB land patterns match DBQ (SSOP-20) footprint-not DW (SOIC-20)-and confirm VCC tolerance (4.75–5.25 V) aligns with system regulation before substitution. The CY74FCT245ATQCT improves upon legacy parts with Ioff and edge-rate control.
