Product details
Overview
CY74FCT245TQCT from Texas Instruments is an 8-bit noninverting bidirectional transceiver with 3-state outputs, designed for bus-oriented data routing between TTL-compatible logic domains. It supports 64-mA sink / 32-mA source drive, operates at 5 V (4.75–5.25 V), delivers 7 ns max propagation delay, and features Ioff partial-power-down protection for hot-swap applications.
For engineers reviewing the CY74FCT245TQCT datasheet, CY74FCT245TQCT pinout, CY74FCT245TQCT application, or CY74FCT245TQCT equivalent, key selection criteria include bidirectional bus isolation capability, 3-state control timing (tPZH/tPHZ ≤ 9.5 ns), QSOP-20 thermal performance (θJA = 68°C/W), and compatibility with legacy FCT/F logic families.
Technical Context
The CY74FCT245TQCT implements dual 3-state control via independent OE (output enable) and T/R (transmit/receive) inputs, enabling direction-selectable data flow between A and B ports. Its edge-rate control circuitry reduces switching noise while maintaining matched rise/fall times under load.
It fully complies with TTL input thresholds (VIH = 2 V, VIL = 0.8 V) and provides robust ESD protection (2000-V HBM, 200-V MM, 1000-V CDM). The Ioff feature disables outputs when VCC = 0 V, preventing backflow current during partial power-down sequences.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bidirectional bus transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| CY74FCT245TSOCT | SOIC-20 package (DW), θJA = 58°C/W, tube packaging (2000 pcs/reel), same electrical specs | Better thermal dissipation; suited for through-hole prototyping or lower-volume production | Select when manual assembly, thermal headroom >10°C, or SOIC footprint is already standardized |
| SN74FCT245CTQCT | Same QSOP-20 package but FCT-C speed grade (4.1 ns max tPLH), 48-mA/12-mA drive | Lower drive strength; optimized for lower-noise, lower-power bus segments | Select when driving fewer loads or prioritizing EMI reduction over maximum fanout |
Compared with CY74FCT245TSOCT and SN74FCT245CTQCT, the CY74FCT245TQCT offers the highest output drive (64/32 mA) in the QSOP-20 form factor, making it optimal for high-fanout, noise-sensitive, or hot-swap-capable bus interfaces where thermal constraints permit θJA = 68°C/W.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for CY74FCT245TQCT?
The CY74FCT245TQCT is rated for operation from –40°C to +85°C ambient temperature. This range is validated per TI's recommended operating conditions and applies to the QSOP-20 (DBQ) package variant. Thermal derating is not required within this span, and the device maintains full electrical specifications across the entire range.
Does CY74FCT245TQCT support partial-power-down mode?
Yes, CY74FCT245TQCT supports partial-power-down mode via its Ioff circuitry. When VCC = 0 V, Ioff limits output leakage to ±1 µA even with up to 4.5 V applied at I/O pins, preventing damaging backflow current during hot-swap or staggered power sequencing - a key requirement in modular industrial systems.
What are the key timing parameters for CY74FCT245TQCT directional control?
CY74FCT245TQCT specifies tPZH/tPZL ≤ 9.5 ns (OE/T/R → A/B output disable) and tPHZ/tPLZ ≤ 7.5 ns (OE/T/R → A/B output enable). These values ensure reliable bus arbitration in systems with tight setup/hold windows, such as those using 25-MHz clocked handshaking protocols.
Is CY74FCT245TQCT pin-compatible with CY54FCT245T?
Yes, CY74FCT245TQCT is functionally and pin-compatible with CY54FCT245T in identical packages. Both share identical pinout, logic behavior, and DC characteristics. However, CY54FCT245T is specified for –55°C to +125°C and uses different packaging (CDIP/LCCC), so direct substitution requires verifying temperature and package fit.
What is the meaning of "FCT245" marking on CY74FCT245TQCT top-side?
The top-side marking "FCT245" on CY74FCT245TQCT is the standardized TI part identifier for the base function - an 8-bit FCT-family bidirectional transceiver. It confirms device identity per TI's marking convention and matches ordering information in the official package addendum for CY74FCT245TQCTG4.B.
