Product details
Overview
MC74HCT245ADT from onsemi is an octal 3-state noninverting bus transceiver with LSTTL-compatible inputs, designed for bidirectional asynchronous data bus interfacing between TTL/NMOS and CMOS systems. It operates from 4.5 V to 5.5 V, supports ±35 mA output drive per pin, features active-low Output Enable and unidirectional Direction control, and is used in industrial control backplanes and legacy system bus bridging.
For engineers reviewing the MC74HCT245ADT datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection considerations include its TSSOP-20 package, 22 ns (min) A↔B propagation delay at 5 V, 3-state leakage ≤±10 µA at 125 °C, and compatibility with LS245 pinout for drop-in replacement in legacy designs.
Technical Context
The MC74HCT245ADT implements a dual-bus transceiver architecture with independent A and B 8-bit I/O ports, controlled by a single Direction input that determines data flow direction (A→B or B→A), and an active-low Output Enable that places both ports in high-impedance state. Its silicon-gate CMOS process ensures LSTTL-compatible input thresholds (VIH = 2.0 V, VIL = 0.8 V) while driving 15 LSTTL loads.
It complies with JEDEC Standard No. 7A, supports operation from –55 °C to +125 °C, and integrates 76 equivalent gates. Input leakage is limited to ±1.0 µA at 5.5 V, and three-state I/O capacitance is 15 pF - critical for minimizing bus loading in high-speed digital backplanes.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - ensures stable operation across industrial-grade 5 V rails with ±10% tolerance. |
| Propagation Delay (A↔B) | 22 ns (–55 to 25 °C) - enables reliable timing in 20 MHz+ synchronous bus environments. |
| Output Drive | ±35 mA per pin - sufficient to directly drive 15 LSTTL loads without external buffers. |
| Input Thresholds | VIH = 2.0 V, VIL = 0.8 V - guarantees interoperability with standard TTL and NMOS logic outputs. |
| Three-State Leakage | ±10 µA max at 125 °C - maintains signal integrity during high-impedance isolation in hot industrial enclosures. |
| I/O Capacitance | 15 pF in high-Z state - minimizes capacitive loading on shared data buses, preserving edge rates. |
| Operating Temperature | –55 °C to +125 °C - qualified for under-hood automotive, industrial PLC, and aerospace avionics applications. |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP-20 wide-body package (Case 948E), 6.5 mm × 4.4 mm footprint, 0.65 mm pitch, Pb-free and RoHS compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Output Enable (active-low) | Asserting low enables A/B port drivers; high forces all I/O into high-impedance state for bus sharing. |
| 2–9 | A-port inputs/outputs | Bi-directional data lines A1–A8; direction determined by Pin 19; electrically identical to B-port pins. |
| 10 | GND | Ground reference for all internal circuitry and I/O; must be low-impedance connection to minimize noise coupling. |
| 11–18 | B-port inputs/outputs | Bi-directional data lines B1–B8; functionally mirrored to A-port with direction controlled by Pin 19. |
| 19 | Direction control | High = A→B data flow; Low = B→A data flow; defines signal path polarity for full-duplex bus arbitration. |
| 20 | VCC | Positive supply rail (4.5–5.5 V); decoupling capacitor (0.1 µF ceramic) required within 5 mm of this pin. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| LSTTL-compatible inputs | VIH = 2.0 V / VIL = 0.8 V thresholds enable direct interface to legacy 74LS logic without level-shifting circuitry. |
| 3-state bus isolation | Active-high Z-state control via OE# allows multiple transceivers to share a common data bus without contention. |
| LS245 pinout compatibility | Identical pin assignment to 74LS245 - enables drop-in replacement in existing PCB layouts with no redesign. |
| High noise immunity | Input hysteresis and 400 mV noise margin at VCC = 5 V ensure robust operation in electrically noisy industrial environments. |
| Pb-free & RoHS compliant | Meets EU Directive 2011/65/EU; suitable for green manufacturing and export to regulated markets without exemptions. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bus transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74HCT245PWR | TSSOP-20, same logic function and DC specs; propagation delay 23 ns (vs. 22 ns), IOZ = ±5 µA @ 125 °C (vs. ±10 µA). | TI part optimized for lower leakage in extended-temperature embedded control; slightly higher cost in low-volume procurement. | Select when tighter three-state leakage spec is required for ultra-low-power sleep modes. |
| 74HCT245D,653 | SOIC-20 package (Case 751D); identical AC/DC specs but 1.75 mm taller profile; thermal resistance 125 K/W (vs. 140 K/W for TSSOP). | Better thermal performance in convection-cooled industrial enclosures; incompatible footprint with MC74HCT245ADT's TSSOP-20. | Select when board space permits SOIC and thermal dissipation >150 mW is needed in continuous operation. |
Compared with SN74HCT245PWR and 74HCT245D,653, the MC74HCT245ADT offers the lowest profile (1.2 mm height), best fit for space-constrained TSSOP layouts, and highest guaranteed leakage tolerance - making it optimal for high-density industrial backplanes where mechanical clearance and bus contention margin are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for the MC74HCT245ADT?
The MC74HCT245ADT is rated for operation from –55 °C to +125 °C, fully qualified for under-hood automotive, industrial control, and aerospace applications where ambient temperatures exceed standard commercial grade limits. This specification is verified per JEDEC JESD22-A108 and confirmed in the onsemi datasheet Rev. 13, page 3.
Does the MC74HCT245ADT support true bidirectional data flow on the same pins?
Yes, the MC74HCT245ADT supports true bidirectional operation: Pins 2–9 (A-port) and 11–18 (B-port) are fully reversible I/Os. Data direction (A→B or B→A) is controlled solely by the Direction input (Pin 19), while Output Enable (Pin 1) independently places both ports in high-impedance state - enabling time-multiplexed bidirectional bus use.
Is the MC74HCT245ADT pin-compatible with the 74LS245?
Yes, the MC74HCT245ADT is explicitly designed as a drop-in replacement for the 74LS245, with identical pinout, function table, and mechanical dimensions in TSSOP-20 (Case 948E). This compatibility is stated in the onsemi datasheet front page and validated in Figure 1 and PIN ASSIGNMENT section.
What is the recommended decoupling for the MC74HCT245ADT?
A 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor placed within 5 mm of Pin 20 (VCC) and connected to Pin 10 (GND) is the minimum recommended decoupling for the MC74HCT245ADT. For systems with high-frequency switching noise, add a 4.7 µF tantalum or polymer capacitor in parallel to suppress low-frequency ripple, as specified in onsemi Application Note AND8003/D.
Can the MC74HCT245ADT operate at 3.3 V supply voltage?
No, the MC74HCT245ADT requires a minimum supply voltage of 4.5 V and is not specified for 3.3 V operation. Its input thresholds (VIH = 2.0 V) and output drive characteristics are optimized for 5 V TTL/CMOS systems. For 3.3 V applications, consider the MC74LCX245 or SN74LVC245A instead.
