Product details
Overview
CY74FCT245DTQCTE4 from Texas Instruments is an 8-bit noninverting bidirectional transceiver with 3-state outputs, designed for bus-oriented data transfer between asynchronous logic domains. It features 64-mA sink / 32-mA source drive strength, 3.8-ns max propagation delay (tPLH/tPHL), Ioff partial-power-down support, and TTL-compatible input/output voltage levels. It is used in industrial backplane interfaces requiring robust noise immunity and direction-controlled data flow.
For engineers reviewing the CY74FCT245DTQCTE4 datasheet, CY74FCT245DTQCTE4 pinout, CY74FCT245DTQCTE4 application, or CY74FCT245DTQCTE4 equivalent, key selection criteria include bidirectional bus isolation capability, 3.8 ns speed grade, QSOP-20 package thermal performance (θJA = 68°C/W), and Ioff-enabled safe power sequencing in mixed-voltage systems.
Technical Context
The CY74FCT245DTQCTE4 implements edge-rate controlled output drivers to reduce simultaneous switching noise (SSN) and improve signal integrity in high-density PCB layouts. Its T/R input selects data direction (A→B or B→A), while OE enables/disables both ports into high-impedance state - supporting hot-swap and bus-sharing configurations.
It integrates Ioff circuitry that disables outputs when VCC = 0 V, preventing reverse current flow during partial power-down. Fully specified over –40°C to +85°C, it operates at VCC = 4.75–5.25 V and maintains TTL-compatible VIH/VIL thresholds (2.0 V/0.8 V) and VOH/VOL (≥2.4 V / ≤0.55 V at IOL = 64 mA).

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bidirectional bus transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74FCT245ATQCT | Same FCT family, identical pinout and AC specs, but rated for –40°C to +85°C only (no extended temp variant) | Identical use in commercial/industrial bus interfaces; lacks MIL-PRF-38535 qualification path | Select when full military screening is unnecessary and cost optimization is prioritized |
| 74ACT245SCX | ACT logic family: higher VOH (≥4.4 V), lower IOL (24 mA), no Ioff, 5.5-V absolute max VCC | Suitable for 5-V-only systems with lighter bus loading; not safe for partial-power-down sequencing | Choose only if system guarantees simultaneous VCC ramp-up/down across all rails |
Compared with SN74FCT245ATQCT and 74ACT245SCX, the CY74FCT245DTQCTE4 provides superior bus drive (64 mA sink), guaranteed Ioff behavior for power sequencing, and tighter propagation delay (3.8 ns vs. 4.6 ns), making it optimal for high-reliability industrial backplanes.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency supported by the CY74FCT245DTQCTE4?
The CY74FCT245DTQCTE4 has a maximum propagation delay of 3.8 ns (tPLH/tPHL), supporting reliable data transfer up to 263 MHz in ideal conditions. Actual achievable frequency depends on load capacitance, trace length, and termination - for 50-pF loads and proper layout, sustained 100-MHz bus operation is verified per datasheet timing margins.
Does the CY74FCT245DTQCTE4 support partial power-down operation?
Yes, the CY74FCT245DTQCTE4 includes Ioff circuitry that actively disables outputs when VCC = 0 V, limiting reverse current to ±1 µA. This allows safe insertion/removal in live backplanes and enables independent power cycling of subsystems without damaging the device or corrupting bus states.
What is the purpose of the T/R and OE pins on the CY74FCT245DTQCTE4?
The T/R (transmit/receive) pin controls data direction: high enables A→B flow, low enables B→A flow. The OE (output enable) pin, active low, places both A and B ports into high-impedance state when asserted. Together, they provide precise bus arbitration - e.g., OE = high + T/R = high isolates B-side while allowing A-side read/write.
Can the CY74FCT245DTQCTE4 interface directly with 3.3-V logic devices?
No - the CY74FCT245DTQCTE4 is a 5-V-only device (VCC = 4.75–5.25 V) with TTL-compatible inputs (VIH = 2.0 V min) but outputs VOH ≥2.4 V at 32 mA. Direct connection to 3.3-V CMOS inputs risks overvoltage damage; a level-shifter or series resistor + clamping diode network is required for safe interfacing.
Is the CY74FCT245DTQCTE4 RoHS compliant and lead-free?
Yes, the CY74FCT245DTQCTE4 is RoHS compliant with NiPdAu (NIPDAU) lead finish, per TI's Package Option Addendum. It meets JEDEC Level-2-260°C-1-year MSL rating and is supplied in tape-and-reel packaging (2500 units/reel) with Q1 pin-1 orientation.
