Product details
Overview
CY74FCT245DTQCT from Texas Instruments is an 8-bit noninverting bidirectional transceiver with 3-state outputs, designed for bus-oriented data transfer between TTL-compatible systems. It features 64-mA sink / 32-mA source drive strength, 3.8-ns max propagation delay (tPLH/tPHL), Ioff partial-power-down support, and edge-rate control for noise reduction. It operates across –40°C to +85°C in a 20-pin QSOP package.
For engineers reviewing the CY74FCT245DTQCT datasheet, CY74FCT245DTQCT pinout, CY74FCT245DTQCT application, or CY74FCT245DTQCT equivalent, key selection criteria include bidirectional bus isolation timing, 5-V TTL logic compatibility, high-current 3-state drive capability, and industrial-temperature operation with Ioff protection.
Technical Context
The CY74FCT245DTQCT implements dual-bus bidirectional data flow controlled by independent T/R (transmit/receive) and OE (output enable) inputs. Its internal architecture supports simultaneous A→B or B→A transfer with high-impedance disable on both ports when OE is high.
It uses FCT-family silicon with edge-rate control circuitry to limit slew rate, reducing ground bounce and crosstalk. The Ioff feature actively disables outputs and blocks current backflow when VCC = 0 V, enabling safe hot-insertion and partial-power-down system designs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |

| Propagation Delay | 3.8 ns max (A↔B path) - enables high-speed bus arbitration in real-time control systems |
| Output Drive | 64 mA sink / 32 mA source - drives heavy capacitive loads and multiple TTL inputs without buffering |
| Ioff Support | ±1 µA max at VCC = 0 V - prevents backfeed damage during power sequencing or hot-swap events |
| ESD Rating | 2000-V HBM, 200-V MM, 1000-V CDM - meets industrial-grade robustness requirements |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for automotive under-hood and industrial PLC environments |

| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 | A0–A7 | Input/output port A - connects to local microcontroller or peripheral bus |
| 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18 | B0–B7 | Input/output port B - interfaces to external memory, FPGA, or legacy TTL subsystem |
| 9 | GND | Ground reference - must be low-inductance connection to minimize switching noise |
| 10 | VCC | 5-V supply - requires local 0.1-µF ceramic decoupling adjacent to pin |
| 19 | T/R | Direction control - high = A→B, low = B→A; asynchronous, no setup/hold required |
| 20 | OE | Output enable - high = all outputs high-Z; critical for bus contention avoidance |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Edge-rate controlled outputs | Reduces simultaneous switching noise (SSN) by limiting dV/dt, improving signal integrity on dense PCBs |
| Ioff partial-power-down | Enables safe power gating of one side of bus while other side remains active - essential for modular backplane designs |
| Matched rise/fall times | Minimizes duty-cycle distortion on clocked data buses, preserving timing margins in synchronous transfers |
| TTL-compatible input thresholds | VIH = 2.0 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max - interoperates directly with legacy 5-V TTL without level-shifting |

Applications
| Industrial PLC Backplane Interface | Automotive ECU Diagnostic Bus |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Isolating CPU bus from field I/O modules in programmable logic controllers using shared parallel backplane wiring. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional data transceiver managing read/write cycles between processor and distributed I/O cards with precise direction control.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional data buffer isolating MCU data bus from memory chip I/O, synchronized with WR/RD strobes. Use Value: Matched rise/fall times preserve data setup/hold windows; 3-state outputs prevent bus contention during memory access arbitration. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bidirectional bus transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| CY74FCT245TQCT | Slower 7-ns max propagation delay; same pinout, drive, and temperature range | Suitable for cost-sensitive, lower-speed bus isolation where timing margin is relaxed | Select when 3.8-ns speed is unnecessary and BOM cost optimization is prioritized |
| SN74FCT245CTSOCT | Same speed grade (4.1 ns), SOIC-20 package instead of QSOP; identical electrical specs | Preferred for through-hole prototyping or legacy board layouts requiring wider pitch | Choose for manual assembly, rework-friendly footprint, or compatibility with existing SOIC-based designs |
Compared with CY74FCT245TQCT and SN74FCT245CTSOCT, the CY74FCT245DTQCT delivers the fastest propagation (3.8 ns) in the FCT245 family and the smallest footprint (QSOP), making it optimal for space-constrained, high-speed industrial and automotive bus interfaces where timing determinism is critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency supported by the CY74FCT245DTQCT?
The CY74FCT245DTQCT does not specify a maximum clock frequency, as it is a combinatorial transceiver without internal clocking. Its usable data rate depends on system-level timing margins. With a 3.8-ns max propagation delay and matched rise/fall times, it reliably supports bus data rates up to 100+ MHz in well-designed PCB layouts with controlled impedance and proper termination.
Does the CY74FCT245DTQCT support mixed-voltage operation between port A and port B?
No. The CY74FCT245DTQCT is a single-supply 5-V device (VCC = 4.75–5.25 V) with TTL-compatible input thresholds. Both A and B ports operate at the same logic voltage level and cannot translate between different voltage domains. For level shifting, discrete solutions or dedicated translators like TXB0108 are required.
How does the Ioff feature function in the CY74FCT245DTQCT during power-down sequences?
The Ioff circuitry in the CY74FCT245DTQCT actively disables all output drivers when VCC = 0 V, limiting leakage current to ±1 µA regardless of input or output pin voltage (up to 4.5 V). This prevents damaging reverse current flow from live buses into a powered-down section, enabling safe hot-plug and partial-power-down architectures in modular systems.
Can the CY74FCT245DTQCT be used without pull-up or pull-down resistors on unused control inputs?
No. Per TI's recommended operating conditions, all unused inputs-including T/R and OE-must be held statically at VCC or GND. Floating control inputs risk metastability, increased ICC, or unintended output states. OE should be tied to VCC (disable) or GND (enable) via direct connection or appropriate-value resistor; T/R must be fixed to define permanent direction if bidirectional operation is not needed.
What is the thermal resistance (θJA) of the CY74FCT245DTQCT in its QSOP package?
The CY74FCT245DTQCT in the 20-pin QSOP (DBQ) package has a specified junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) of 68°C/W under JEDEC-standard PCB mounting conditions (2-layer board, 1-in² copper pad). This value assumes proper thermal land design and adequate airflow; actual θJA may improve with enhanced PCB copper area or forced convection.
