Product details
Overview
MC74HCT245ADTR2 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 high-speed 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 bus bridging applications.
For engineers reviewing the MC74HCT245ADTR2 datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include 3-state timing (tPLZ/tPHZ ≤ 42 ns at 125°C), LSTTL input compatibility (VIH = 2.0 V min), high-impedance isolation capability, and TSSOP-20 packaging for space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The MC74HCT245ADTR2 implements dual 8-bit bidirectional data paths controlled by separate Direction and Output Enable signals. Its silicon-gate CMOS architecture ensures TTL/NMOS input level compatibility while delivering CMOS output drive strength and low quiescent current (ICC ≤ 160 µA at 125°C).
Propagation delays are specified across temperature: tPLH/tPHL ≤ 33 ns (A↔B), tPLZ/tPHZ ≤ 42 ns (enable-to-output transition), with guaranteed 15 LSTTL load drive capability and 10 pF maximum input capacitance - enabling reliable operation in mixed-logic-level systems without external level-shifting circuitry.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - compatible with standard 5 V logic rails and tolerant of supply ripple up to ±0.5 V. |
| Output Drive | ±35 mA per I/O pin - sufficient to drive 15 LSTTL loads directly without buffering. |
| Propagation Delay | ≤33 ns (A↔B) at 125°C - ensures deterministic timing in high-speed bus arbitration and data capture. |
| Input Thresholds | VIH = 2.0 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max - matches TTL/NMOS logic families for seamless interfacing. |
| 3-State Leakage | ±10 µA max (IOZ) at 125°C - maintains signal integrity during high-impedance isolation in shared-bus environments. |
| Operating Temperature | –55°C to +125°C - qualified for extended industrial and automotive under-hood applications. |
| Package | TSSOP-20 (Case 948E) - 6.5 mm × 4.4 mm footprint with 0.65 mm pitch, optimized for automated SMT assembly. |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP-20 package (Case 948E), 0.65 mm lead pitch, 6.5 mm × 4.4 mm body size, 1.2 mm max height. RoHS-compliant, Pb-free construction.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Output Enable (active-low) | Asserting low enables A↔B data transfer; high places all I/Os in high-impedance state. |
| 2–9 | A-port inputs/outputs | 8-bit bidirectional data path A (A1–A8); direction determined by Pin 19. |
| 10 | GND | Ground reference for all internal logic and I/O circuits. |
| 11–18 | B-port inputs/outputs | 8-bit bidirectional data path B (B1–B8); direction determined by Pin 19. |
| 19 | Direction control | Low = data flows B→A; high = data flows A→B - defines primary data flow direction. |
| 20 | VCC | Positive supply rail (4.5–5.5 V); powers internal logic and output drivers. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| LSTTL-compatible inputs | VIH/VIL thresholds match legacy TTL logic, eliminating need for external level shifters when interfacing NMOS or bipolar systems. |
| 3-state bidirectional control | Independent OE and DIR pins enable precise bus arbitration - critical for multi-master systems like industrial CAN backbone interfaces. |
| High noise immunity | Input hysteresis and guaranteed 0.4 V noise margin (VIL to VIH) prevent metastability in electrically noisy factory-floor environments. |
| Low power consumption | ICC ≤ 4.0 µA at 25°C and ≤160 µA at 125°C - reduces thermal load in dense backplane designs with multiple transceivers. |
| JEDEC Std. 7A compliance | Fully compliant with industry-standard LSTTL interface requirements, ensuring interoperability across vendor ecosystems. |

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, identical electrical specs, TI-branded; slightly higher ICC (max 200 µA at 125°C vs. 160 µA). | Same pinout and function; preferred where TI supply chain continuity is prioritized over onsemi sourcing. | Select when requiring TI's long-term product lifecycle assurance or existing TI-design ecosystem integration. |
| 74HCT245PW,118 | SO-20 package (not TSSOP); 12.8 mm × 7.6 mm footprint; same logic but larger board area and lower thermal performance. | Suitable for prototyping or low-volume assemblies where TSSOP reflow is not available. | Choose only if TSSOP assembly capability is unavailable; avoid for production due to inferior thermal dissipation and density. |
Compared with SN74HCT245PWR and 74HCT245PW,118, the MC74HCT245ADTR2 offers the lowest high-temperature quiescent current (160 µA), smallest PCB footprint (TSSOP-20), and direct drop-in compatibility with LS245 layouts - making it optimal for space- and power-constrained industrial modules.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature for the MC74HCT245ADTR2?
The MC74HCT245ADTR2 is rated for operation from –55°C to +125°C. This extended temperature range is verified per JEDEC standards and makes the device suitable for under-hood automotive applications, industrial motor drives, and outdoor telecom equipment where ambient temperatures exceed standard commercial limits. The MC74HCT245ADTR2 maintains full electrical specifications across this entire range, including propagation delay and 3-state leakage.
Does the MC74HCT245ADTR2 require external pull-up resistors on its control pins?
No, the MC74HCT245ADTR2 does not require external pull-up resistors on Output Enable (Pin 1) or Direction (Pin 19). Its CMOS input structure provides defined logic thresholds (VIH = 2.0 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max) and low input current (<1.0 µA), allowing direct connection to microcontroller GPIOs or open-drain drivers. Unused control pins should be tied to VCC or GND per datasheet guidance to prevent floating states.
Can the MC74HCT245ADTR2 interface 3.3 V logic signals?
No, the MC74HCT245ADTR2 is not designed for 3.3 V logic interfacing. It requires a 4.5–5.5 V VCC supply and has TTL-compatible input thresholds (VIH = 2.0 V min), which may misinterpret 3.3 V logic highs as marginal or invalid in noisy environments. For 3.3 V ↔ 5 V translation, use dedicated level translators such as the NLSX4014 or TXB0108 instead of the MC74HCT245ADTR2.
What is the meaning of "DTR2" in the MC74HCT245ADTR2 part number?
The "DTR2" suffix in MC74HCT245ADTR2 indicates a TSSOP-20 package (D), tape-and-reel packaging (T), and a 2500-unit reel quantity (R2). This matches onsemi's official ordering code MC74HCT245ADTR2G (where "G" denotes Pb-free). The MC74HCT245ADTR2 is functionally identical to MC74HCT245ADTR2G and is sourced from the same manufacturing line and qualification lot.
How does the MC74HCT245ADTR2 differ from the original LS245?
The MC74HCT245ADTR2 is pinout-identical to the 74LS245 but replaces bipolar TTL technology with silicon-gate CMOS. This delivers identical logic behavior and timing compatibility while reducing power consumption (ICC < 160 µA vs. ~30 mA for LS245), eliminating DC fan-out limitations, and enabling direct interfacing with CMOS microcontrollers without additional buffering. The MC74HCT245ADTR2 also adds full –55°C to +125°C operation and RoHS compliance.
