Product details
Overview
IDT74LVC4245AQG8 from Integrated Device Technology is an octal noninverting bus transceiver with dual-supply voltage translation (3.3V ↔ 5V), ±24mA output drive, industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C), and 5V-tolerant I/O. It enables bidirectional asynchronous data transfer between mixed-voltage buses in embedded control and interface subsystems.
For engineers reviewing the IDT74LVC4245AQG8 datasheet, IDT74LVC4245AQG8 pinout, IDT74LVC4245AQG8 application, or IDT74LVC4245AQG8 equivalent, key selection criteria include direction-controlled 3-state operation, rail-to-rail swing for noise margin, hot-insertion support, and verified 2.7V–3.6V B-port / 4.5V–5.5V A-port supply compatibility.
Technical Context
The IDT74LVC4245AQG8 implements a dual-rail CMOS architecture with physically isolated VCCA (5V) and VCCB (3.3V) supplies, enabling true bidirectional level shifting without external biasing. Its DIR pin controls data flow direction (A→B or B→A), while OE (active-low) forces both ports into high-impedance state regardless of DIR state.
All inputs feature hysteresis (100 mV typical) for noise immunity; outputs deliver rail-to-rail swing and tolerate 5V on all I/O pins even when VCCB = 3.3V. Propagation delays are symmetric: tPLH/tPHL ≤ 6.7 ns (A→B) and ≤ 6.3 ns (B→A) under industrial conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCCA Range | 4.5V to 5.5V - powers 5V-side logic and defines A-port voltage reference |
| VCCB Range | 2.7V to 3.6V - powers 3.3V-side logic and defines B-port voltage reference |
| Output Drive | ±24mA - drives moderate capacitive loads (e.g., 50pF bus) while maintaining <7ns propagation delay |
| Propagation Delay | ≤6.7 ns (A→B), ≤6.3 ns (B→A) - ensures timing-critical inter-bus synchronization in real-time systems |
| Input Hysteresis | 100 mV typical - rejects fast transient noise on DIR, OE, and data lines in noisy industrial environments |
| Quiescent Current | 80 µA max (A port), 50 µA max (B port) - enables low-power standby in battery-backed or energy-sensitive designs |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial control, motor drives, and factory automation equipment |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP-24 package (Green, RoHS-compliant); 24-pin thin shrink small outline package with 0.65 mm pitch, body size 7.8 mm × 4.4 mm, height ≤1.2 mm.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 | A1–A8 | Port A bidirectional I/O - connects to 5V bus; 5V-tolerant when used as input |
| 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17 | B1–B8 | Port B bidirectional I/O - connects to 3.3V bus; operates at VCCB voltage |
| 9 | OE | Active-low output enable - overrides DIR to place both ports in high-Z state |
| 20 | DIR | Direction control - LOW enables B→A transfer; HIGH enables A→B transfer |
| 18, 24 | GND | Ground reference for both supply domains - requires separate low-impedance return paths |
| 23 | VCCA | 5V supply pin - powers A-port circuitry and internal level-shift logic |
| 19, 21 | VCCB | 3.3V supply pin - powers B-port drivers and receivers |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-rail output swing | Ensures full logic-level compliance across both voltage domains, maximizing noise margin in EMI-prone industrial settings |
| 5V-tolerant I/O on all pins | Allows safe connection to legacy 5V peripherals without external clamping diodes or resistors on B-port lines |
| Hot-insertion support | Enables live replacement of modules in backplane or modular PLC systems without power cycling or system reset |
| Hysteresis on all inputs | 100 mV threshold separation prevents chatter on DIR/OE during slow-rising control signals or ground bounce events |
| Low static power | 80 µA max ICC at VCCA = 5.5V reduces thermal load in dense PCB layouts and extends battery life in portable test gear |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bus transceiver and level-shifting applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC4245APW | Same functional spec, TI-manufactured; TSSOP-24 package but rated only for –40°C to +85°C with tighter VCCB min (2.7V vs IDT's 2.7V), identical propagation delay and drive strength | No difference in mixed-voltage bus use; TI version lacks explicit hot-insertion qualification in datasheet | Select SN74LVC4245APW if TI supply chain preference or dual-sourcing strategy applies; verify board-level ESD robustness separately |
| 74ALVC164245PAG | 16-bit variant (two banks), higher pin count (48-pin TSSOP), VCCB = 2.3V–3.6V, VCCA = 3.0V–3.6V - not 5V-capable; no 5V tolerance on I/O | Only suitable for 3.3V↔3.3V or 3.3V↔2.5V systems; cannot replace IDT74LVC4245AQG8 in 5V-mixed designs | Choose 74ALVC164245PAG only for wider data buses requiring 16-bit translation at sub-3.6V voltages; not a drop-in alternative |
Compared with SN74LVC4245APW and 74ALVC164245PAG, the IDT74LVC4245AQG8 uniquely supports 5V-tolerant operation with verified hot-insertion capability and industrial-grade VCCA/VCCB supply margins - making it the sole option among the three for legacy 5V peripheral interfacing in harsh environments.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable voltage on IDT74LVC4245AQG8 I/O pins when VCCB = 3.3V?
IDT74LVC4245AQG8 I/O pins are 5V tolerant across all ports - meaning A1–A8 and B1–B8 can safely accept up to +6.5V DC input voltage regardless of VCCB setting. This allows direct connection to 5V peripherals without external protection, as confirmed by absolute maximum ratings (VTERM = –0.5V to +6.5V).
Does IDT74LVC4245AQG8 support hot insertion, and how is it implemented?
Yes, IDT74LVC4245AQG8 supports hot insertion per its datasheet features. Implementation relies on powered-off-state isolation: when VCCA or VCCB is unpowered, all I/Os enter high-impedance mode with current-limited clamping (±50 mA absolute max), preventing back-drive damage. This behavior is validated for industrial backplane module replacement scenarios.
What is the propagation delay mismatch between A→B and B→A directions in IDT74LVC4245AQG8?
IDT74LVC4245AQG8 exhibits asymmetric propagation: tPLH/tPHL ≤ 6.7 ns for A→B transfers and ≤ 6.3 ns for B→A transfers under industrial conditions (VCCA = 5V ±0.5V, VCCB = 2.7V–3.6V). The 0.4 ns worst-case skew enables deterministic timing budgeting in full-duplex bus arbitration schemes.
Can IDT74LVC4245AQG8 operate with VCCB = 2.5V?
No. IDT74LVC4245AQG8 specifies VCCB = 2.7V to 3.6V per DC electrical characteristics tables. Operation below 2.7V violates guaranteed functionality - VOH minimum drops below valid logic-high thresholds, and VOL may exceed 0.55V under 24mA load, risking downstream logic errors. Use only within published range.
How does the hysteresis on IDT74LVC4245AQG8 inputs improve system reliability?
IDT74LVC4245AQG8 provides 100 mV typical input hysteresis on all pins (DIR, OE, A/B ports), raising the effective noise immunity threshold. This prevents false triggering during slow-rising control signals, ground bounce, or coupled EMI - especially critical for DIR/OE in noisy industrial enclosures where signal edges degrade over cable runs.
