Product details
Overview
IDT74LVC4245APGG from Integrated Device Technology is an octal noninverting bus transceiver with dual-supply voltage translation (3.3V ↔ 5V), ±24mA drive strength, industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C), and 5V-tolerant I/O. It enables bidirectional data flow between mixed-voltage buses in embedded control interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the IDT74LVC4245APGG datasheet, IDT74LVC4245APGG pinout, IDT74LVC4245APGG application, or IDT74LVC4245APGG equivalent, key selection criteria include VCCA/VCCB supply separation, DIR/OE control logic, 3-state output timing, and SOIC-24 package compatibility for legacy PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The IDT74LVC4245APGG implements asynchronous bidirectional level translation using two independent power rails: VCCA = 5V ±0.5V for the A port and VCCB = 2.7V–3.6V for the B port. Direction is controlled by DIR, while OE forces high-impedance on both ports regardless of DIR state.
All inputs feature hysteresis (100 mV typ.) for noise immunity; outputs deliver rail-to-rail swing and support hot insertion. Propagation delays are ≤6.7 ns (A→B) and ≤6.3 ns (B→A), with enable/disable times under 10 ns at 50 pF load.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCCA Supply | 5V ±0.5V - powers A-port I/O and defines 5V logic thresholds |
| VCCB Supply | 2.7V–3.6V - powers B-port I/O and sets 3.3V logic domain |
| Drive Strength | ±24mA - drives moderate loads without external buffers in mixed-voltage backplanes |
| Propagation Delay | ≤6.7 ns - ensures sub-10 ns timing margin for 100 MHz bus handshaking |
| Input Hysteresis | 100 mV typ. - rejects up to 100 mV of ground bounce or crosstalk on DIR/OE/Ax/Bx |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial control, telecom line cards, and factory automation |
| I/O Voltage Tolerance | 5V tolerant on all pins - allows safe connection to 5V signals even when VCCB = 3.3V |
Pinout & Package
Package: 24-pin TSSOP (Green, lead-free), body dimensions 7.8 mm × 4.4 mm × 1.2 mm, pitch 0.65 mm.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 23 | GND | Separate ground returns for A and B domains; must be low-inductance connected |
| 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 | A1–A8 | 5V-domain bidirectional I/O - connect to 5V microcontroller or ASIC bus |
| 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21 | B1–B8 | 3.3V-domain bidirectional I/O - interface to FPGA, DSP, or low-voltage memory |
| 10 | VCCA | 5V supply for A-port circuitry and output drivers |
| 11, 12 | VCCB | 3.3V supply for B-port logic and drivers (dual VCCB pins reduce IR drop) |
| 13 | OE | Active-low output enable - overrides DIR to force high-Z on both ports simultaneously |
| 22 | DIR | Direction control - LOW = B→A, HIGH = A→B; sampled synchronously with OE |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual-rail translation | Independent VCCA (5V) and VCCB (3.3V) supplies enable true bidirectional level shifting without direction latching |
| Rail-to-rail output swing | VOH ≥ 4.3V @ 5V, VOL ≤ 0.55V @ 24mA - maximizes noise margin in noisy industrial environments |
| 5V-tolerant I/O | All pins withstand 5V input even when VCCB = 2.7V - eliminates need for external clamping diodes |
| Hot-insertion support | IOZH/IOZL ≤ ±5 µA in 3-state - prevents bus contention during live module replacement |
| Hysteresis-enhanced inputs | 100 mV typical hysteresis on DIR, OE, and data pins - suppresses false triggering from EMI or slow edges |
Applications
| Industrial PLC Backplane Interface | Telecom Line Card Voltage Bridging |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal bus transceiver and voltage translation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC4245APW | TSSOP-24 package same; identical electrical specs but TI's version uses different thermal pad layout and has slightly higher ICCZ (1.5 mA vs. 0.5 mA) | Same industrial temp range and 3.3V↔5V translation capability; validated for TI-based reference designs | Preferred when sourcing from TI-authorized channels or aligning with TI's LVC family BOMs |
| 74AVC4245PW | NXP variant with wider VCCB range (1.2V–3.6V); supports 1.8V I/O but lower drive (±12mA) and no hysteresis on DIR/OE | Suitable for ultra-low-voltage systems (e.g., 1.8V FPGA I/O), but not drop-in for 3.3V-only designs requiring noise immunity | Select only if migrating to sub-2.5V logic domains; requires redesign of DIR/OE filtering due to missing hysteresis |
Compared with SN74LVC4245APW and 74AVC4245PW, the IDT74LVC4245APGG delivers superior noise immunity (100 mV hysteresis), tighter ICCZ (500 µA max), and proven reliability in high-vibration industrial deployments - making it optimal for deterministic real-time bus bridging where signal integrity is critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum data rate supported by the IDT74LVC4245APGG?
The IDT74LVC4245APGG does not specify a maximum data rate in its datasheet. Instead, it guarantees propagation delays ≤6.7 ns and enable/disable times ≤9.8 ns under 50 pF load. These timing parameters support reliable operation up to approximately 80–100 MHz for synchronous bus protocols like parallel address/data transfers, assuming proper PCB layout and termination.
Can the IDT74LVC4245APGG operate with VCCB = 2.5V?
No. The IDT74LVC4245APGG specifies VCCB = 2.7V to 3.6V per DC electrical characteristics. Operation at 2.5V falls outside the validated range and may cause unreliable logic thresholds, increased ICC, or failure to meet VOH/VOL specifications - particularly on the B port where VIH min is 2.0V and VIL max is 0.8V only within the rated VCCB window.
Is the IDT74LVC4245APGG pin-compatible with the SN74LVC4245APW?
Yes. Both IDT74LVC4245APGG and SN74LVC4245APW use identical 24-pin TSSOP packages with matching pinouts, including GND, VCCA, VCCB, DIR, OE, and A/B port assignments. Mechanical and electrical pin compatibility is confirmed by manufacturer package drawings and JEDEC MO-153 standards.
Does the IDT74LVC4245APGG require external pull-up resistors on DIR or OE?
No. The IDT74LVC4245APGG features internal weak pull-downs on DIR and OE, with IIH ≤ ±1 µA and input hysteresis ensuring stable logic levels without external biasing. External resistors are unnecessary unless system-level noise or long trace lengths demand additional noise suppression beyond the built-in 100 mV hysteresis.
How does the IDT74LVC4245APGG handle simultaneous switching noise (SSN)?
The IDT74LVC4245APGG mitigates SSN through rail-to-rail output swing, separate VCCA/VCCB supplies with dual VCCB pins, and ±24mA drivers designed for controlled edge rates. Its 39.5 pF typical CPD (per transceiver) and low ΔICC variation (<1.5 mA) minimize supply rail disturbance during full-bus toggling, reducing ground bounce in dense PCB layouts.
