Product details
Overview
IDT74LVC4245APYG8 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 and legacy system upgrades.
For engineers reviewing the IDT74LVC4245APYG8 datasheet, IDT74LVC4245APYG8 pinout, IDT74LVC4245APYG8 application, or IDT74LVC4245APYG8 equivalent, key selection criteria include VCCA/VCCB rail separation, 3-state output timing (tPLZ ≤ 9.8 ns), hysteresis-enhanced noise immunity, and TSSOP-24 package compatibility with high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The IDT74LVC4245APYG8 implements asynchronous bidirectional level translation using separate VCCA (5V ±0.5V) and VCCB (2.7V–3.6V) supplies, with DIR-controlled direction and OE-gated 3-state outputs. All I/O pins are 5V tolerant regardless of supply rail, enabling safe interfacing with legacy 5V logic while operating from a 3.3V domain.
Its ±24mA A-port drivers and ±12mA/±24mA B-port drivers support moderate-to-heavy capacitive loads without compromising propagation delay (tPLH/tPHL ≤ 6.7 ns). Input hysteresis (100 mV typ.) and rail-to-rail output swing further enhance noise margin in electrically noisy industrial environments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCCA Supply | 5V ±0.5V - powers A-port (5V logic side); enables direct connection to legacy 5V systems |
| VCCB Supply | 2.7V–3.6V - powers B-port (3.3V logic side); compatible with LVC-family 3.3V microcontrollers |
| Propagation Delay | tPLH/tPHL ≤ 6.7 ns - ensures sub-150 MHz bus operation with deterministic timing margins |
| Output Drive | A-port: ±24mA; B-port: ±24mA at 3V - drives 50 pF loads while maintaining signal integrity |
| Input Hysteresis | 100 mV typical - rejects up to 100 mV of input noise without false triggering |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial automation, motor control, and factory-floor electronics |
| 3-State Enable Time | tPZL ≤ 9.8 ns (OE→Ax) - supports fast bus arbitration and dynamic port sharing |
Pinout & Package
Package: 24-pin TSSOP (PYG suffix), 0.65 mm pitch, body size 7.8 mm × 4.4 mm, lead-free and RoHS-compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 20–22 | GND | Ground reference for both supply domains; decoupling required per rail |
| 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 | A1–A8 | 5V-side bidirectional I/O; 5V-tolerant inputs when driven externally |
| 14–21 | B1–B8 | 3.3V-side bidirectional I/O; accepts 5V inputs without damage |
| 10 | OE | Active-low 3-state enable; overrides DIR to force high-impedance on both ports |
| 11 | DIR | Direction control: LOW = B→A, HIGH = A→B; synchronous with OE deassertion |
| 12 | VCCB | 3.3V supply for B-port logic and I/O; must be decoupled locally |
| 13, 23, 24 | VCCA | 5V supply for A-port logic and I/O; independent of VCCB for true level shifting |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual-rail level translation | Independent VCCA (5V) and VCCB (3.3V) allow simultaneous 3.3V↔5V bidirectional data transfer without external resistors or translators |
| 5V-tolerant I/O | All A/B port pins withstand 5V input even when VCCB = 2.7V - eliminates need for external clamping diodes in mixed-voltage designs |
| Hysteresis-enhanced inputs | 100 mV typical hysteresis improves noise rejection in industrial EMI environments where ground bounce or crosstalk exceeds standard CMOS thresholds |
| Hot-insertion support | IOZH/IOZL ≤ ±5 µA in 3-state ensures minimal current surge during live board insertion - protects backplane and host controller |
| Rail-to-rail output swing | VOH ≥ 4.3V (A-port, IOH = –24mA), VOL ≤ 0.55V - maximizes noise margin against VCCA = 5V and VCCB = 3.3V logic thresholds |
Applications
| Industrial PLC Backplane Interface | Legacy 5V MCU to Modern 3.3V Peripheral Bridge |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal bus transceiver and level-shifting applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC4245APWR | VCCB range 1.65V–3.6V; lower minimum VCCB enables 1.8V system integration; identical pinout and timing | Supports 1.8V logic domains (e.g., low-power FPGAs); not rated for industrial temp without derating | Select when interfacing with 1.8V peripherals and commercial temp suffices; verify thermal margin in enclosed enclosures |
| 74AVC4245PW,118 | Wider VCCB (1.2V–3.6V); higher speed (tPLH ≤ 4.2 ns); lower static current (ICCL ≤ 20 µA) | Optimized for battery-powered portable equipment; lacks industrial temp qualification (–40°C to +85°C) | Prefer for ultra-low-power or high-speed consumer applications; avoid where extended temperature compliance is mandatory |
Compared with IDT74LVC4245APYG8, SN74LVC4245APWR extends voltage flexibility downward but sacrifices guaranteed industrial operation, while 74AVC4245PW,118 improves speed and quiescent power at the cost of temperature rating - making IDT74LVC4245APYG8 the only option fully qualified for uncooled industrial environments requiring 5V↔3.3V translation.

FAQ
What is the maximum capacitive load the IDT74LVC4245APYG8 can drive while maintaining specified timing?
IDT74LVC4245APYG8 is characterized for CL = 50 pF in switching tests, with tPLH/tPHL ≤ 6.7 ns and tPZL ≤ 9.8 ns under those conditions. Its ±24mA A-port drivers support heavier loads than typical LVC devices, but exceeding 50 pF may increase propagation delay and reduce noise margin. For >50 pF designs, verify timing margins with actual board parasitics and consider local termination.
Can the IDT74LVC4245APYG8 operate with VCCB = 2.5V?
No - the IDT74LVC4245APYG8 specifies VCCB = 2.7V to 3.6V per DC electrical characteristics. Operation at 2.5V violates the absolute minimum supply rating and risks unreliable output levels, increased ICCZ, and potential functional failure. Use SN74LVC4245APWR if 2.5V operation is required.
Is the IDT74LVC4245APYG8 pin-compatible with the older IDT74LVC4245A SOIC version?
Yes - IDT74LVC4245APYG8 uses the same 24-pin TSSOP footprint as defined in IDT's package drawings for PYG, matching pin assignments and functions exactly with the SOIC (SO), SSOP (SOG), and QSOP (QG) variants of the same part number. No PCB redesign is needed when migrating from SOIC to TSSOP.
Does the IDT74LVC4245APYG8 require external pull-up or pull-down resistors on DIR or OE?
No - DIR and OE are CMOS inputs with IIH/IIL ≤ ±1 µA and internal hysteresis. They may float to indeterminate states; however, best practice is to tie OE to VCCA via a 10 kΩ resistor for default high-impedance, and DIR to GND or VCCA depending on fixed direction needs. External resistors prevent noise coupling but are not functionally required.
How does the IDT74LVC4245APYG8 handle simultaneous 5V inputs on B-port pins when VCCB = 3.3V?
IDT74LVC4245APYG8 explicitly guarantees 5V tolerance on all I/O pins regardless of VCCB voltage. When VCCB = 3.3V and a 5V signal is applied to B1–B8, internal protection circuitry clamps the input without damage or logic corruption. This allows safe connection to 5V buses without level-shifter pre-conditioning.
