Product details
Overview
MC74HC245ADW from onsemi is an octal 3-state noninverting bus transceiver in SOIC-20 wide-body package, operating from 2.0 V to 6.0 V supply, with 15 LSTTL load drive capability, propagation delay as low as 13 ns at 6.0 V, and AEC-Q100 qualified −Q variant support for automotive data bus isolation and bidirectional level translation.
For engineers reviewing the MC74HC245ADW datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include its dual-direction control via DIR pin, active-low Output Enable (OE), CMOS/TTL interoperability, high-noise-immunity operation across −55°C to +125°C, and SOIC-20 pin compatibility with LS245.
Technical Context
The MC74HC245ADW implements a silicon-gate CMOS octal transceiver with independent direction (DIR) and output enable (OE) controls, enabling asynchronous 2-way communication between two 8-bit data buses. Its inputs are compatible with standard CMOS outputs and-when pulled up-interoperate with LSTTL logic levels.
It features true 3-state outputs with leakage current ≤±10 µA at 125°C, input capacitance ≤10 pF, and output transition time ≤15 ns at 6.0 V. The device supports hot-swap capable high-impedance isolation when OE is high, and meets JEDEC Std. No. 7A for CMOS interface compliance.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.0 V to 6.0 V - enables direct interface with 3.3 V and 5 V systems without level shifters |
| Propagation Delay (A↔B) | 13 ns max at VCC = 6.0 V - supports >30 MHz bus toggle rates in high-speed digital backplanes |
| Output Drive Strength | 15 LSTTL loads - sufficient to drive multiple legacy TTL inputs without buffering |
| Operating Temperature | −55°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive and industrial control environments |
| Input Leakage Current | ±1.0 µA max at 125°C - ensures stable logic thresholds in low-power standby modes |
| 3-State Leakage Current | ±10 µA max at 125°C - prevents unintended bus contention during high-impedance isolation |
| ESD Withstand Voltage | Human Body Model >2000 V - provides robust handling margin in manual assembly and field service |
Pinout & Package
MC74HC245ADW is housed in a SOIC-20 wide-body (Case 751D) package with 1.27 mm pitch, 12.8 mm × 7.5 mm body size, and Pb-free, RoHS-compliant finish.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | OE (Output Enable) | Active-low control: drives all A/B I/Os into high-impedance state when high |
| 2–9 | A1–A8 | Port A data inputs/outputs - bidirectionally connected to first 8-bit bus |
| 10 | GND | Ground reference for logic and power domains |
| 11–18 | B1–B8 | Port B data inputs/outputs - bidirectionally connected to second 8-bit bus |
| 19 | DIR (Direction Control) | High = A→B data flow; Low = B→A data flow - determines transceiver directionality |
| 20 | VCC | Positive supply rail - powers internal CMOS logic and output drivers |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Octal bidirectional data path | Enables full 8-bit parallel bus bridging between isolated subsystems without external routing logic |
| CMOS/TTL interoperability | Accepts LSTTL inputs via external pull-ups and directly interfaces CMOS/NMOS outputs - eliminates discrete level-shifting components |
| JEDEC Std. No. 7A compliance | Guarantees interoperability with industry-standard CMOS timing and voltage thresholds |
| AEC-Q100 qualification (−Q variant) | Validated for automotive applications including engine control modules and body electronics requiring PPAP documentation |
| Low dynamic power consumption | CPD = 40 pF per channel - reduces switching noise and thermal load in dense PCB layouts |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal bus transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74HC245N | Same HC logic family, identical pinout, but PDIP-20 package and non-automotive qualification | Lacks AEC-Q100 qualification and SOIC-20 thermal performance; not rated for −55°C operation | Select when cost-sensitive prototyping or through-hole assembly is required and automotive temperature range is unnecessary |
| MC74HC245ADTG | TSSOP-20 package (7.0 mm × 4.4 mm), same electrical specs, identical −Q automotive option available | Smaller footprint and lower profile - suited for space-constrained PCBs but requires finer-pitch reflow process | Select for compact consumer or portable electronics where board area is constrained and SOIC-20 is too large |
Compared with SN74HC245N and MC74HC245ADTG, the MC74HC245ADW offers optimal thermal dissipation (96°C/W θJA) and mechanical robustness in SOIC-20 wide-body format, making it preferred for industrial control and automotive under-hood deployments where reliability under thermal stress is critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency supported by the MC74HC245ADW?
The MC74HC245ADW does not specify a clock frequency but supports data transfer rates determined by its propagation delay and transition time. With tPLH/tPHL ≤13 ns at 6.0 V and tTLH/tTHL ≤15 ns, the MC74HC245ADW reliably handles bus toggle frequencies exceeding 30 MHz in point-to-point configurations, assuming proper termination and layout.
Does the MC74HC245ADW support mixed-voltage operation between Port A and Port B?
No - the MC74HC245ADW has a single VCC pin (Pin 20) powering both ports. It does not support independent voltage domains on A and B sides. However, its wide 2.0–6.0 V supply range allows interoperability with 3.3 V and 5 V systems when both ports share the same VCC rail.
Is the MC74HC245ADW pin-compatible with the 74LS245?
Yes - the MC74HC245ADW is explicitly designed as a drop-in replacement for the 74LS245, sharing identical pinout, function table, and logic behavior. Its CMOS construction delivers lower power, higher noise immunity, and wider supply voltage range while maintaining LS245-level drive strength (15 LSTTL loads).
What is the purpose of the −Q suffix in MC74HC245ADWR2G−Q*?
The −Q suffix denotes AEC-Q100 qualification and PPAP capability for automotive applications. The MC74HC245ADWR2G−Q* variant undergoes additional stress testing, lot traceability, and change control per automotive quality standards - distinct from the standard MC74HC245ADWR2G.
Can the MC74HC245ADW be used without external pull-up resistors on TTL inputs?
Yes - the MC74HC245ADW inputs are compatible with standard CMOS outputs without pull-ups. For direct connection to LSTTL outputs, external pull-up resistors are required to ensure VIH ≥1.5 V at VCC = 2.0 V, as specified in the DC Electrical Characteristics table.
