Product details
Overview
MC74HCT245ADTR2G-Q from onsemi is an octal 3-state noninverting bus transceiver designed for bidirectional asynchronous data bus communication in automotive-grade systems. It operates at 4.5–5.5 V, features active-low Output Enable and unidirectional Direction control, delivers ±6 mA output drive, and supports AEC-Q100 qualification for under-hood engine control modules.
For engineers reviewing the MC74HCT245ADTR2G-Q datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include TTL-compatible input thresholds (VIH = 2.0 V min), propagation delay ≤33 ns at 125°C, high-impedance leakage <±10 µA, and TSSOP-20 packaging for space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The MC74HCT245ADTR2G-Q implements dual 8-bit bidirectional data paths controlled by separate Direction and Output Enable inputs. Its HCT logic family ensures TTL-level input compatibility while driving CMOS/NMOS/TTL loads-enabling level translation between legacy TTL peripherals and modern high-speed CMOS buses.
It uses silicon-gate CMOS technology with 308 FETs (77 equivalent gates), achieves 15 LSTTL load drive capability, and maintains stable operation across −55°C to +125°C ambient temperature per AEC-Q100 Grade 1 requirements.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 4.5–5.5 V - Ensures interoperability with standard 5 V TTL and microcontroller I/O rails without level-shifting circuitry. |
| Propagation Delay (A↔B) | ≤33 ns at 125°C - Guarantees timing margin for 20 MHz bus operation in high-temperature automotive environments. |
| Output Drive | ±6.0 mA at VCC = 4.5 V - Sufficient to directly drive 15 LSTTL loads or interface with standard CMOS/NMOS inputs. |
| Input Thresholds | VIH = 2.0 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max - Matches TTL logic levels, eliminating need for external pull-ups when interfacing with 74LS/ALS devices. |
| Three-State Leakage | ±10 µA max at 125°C - Prevents signal corruption during bus isolation in multi-master systems. |
| Operating Temperature | −55°C to +125°C - Validated for under-hood engine control units, transmission controllers, and ADAS sensor hubs. |
| ESD Rating | HBM >2000 V - Provides robustness against handling and assembly electrostatic discharge events. |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP-20 package (Case 948E), 6.5 mm × 4.4 mm footprint, 0.65 mm pitch, lead-free and RoHS compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|

| 2–9 | Port A I/O (A1–A8) | Bidirectional data lines connected to local bus or microcontroller port; high-impedance when OE = H. |
| 10 | GND | Power ground reference for all internal logic and I/O stages. |
| 11–18 | Port B I/O (B1–B8) | Bidirectional data lines connected to remote bus or peripheral; isolated when OE = H. |
| 19 | Output Enable (OE̅) | Active-low control enabling/disabling both ports simultaneously into high-impedance state. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bus transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74HCT245PWR | Same logic function, 4.5–5.5 V supply, but rated only to 85°C ambient; not AEC-Q100 qualified. | Suitable for industrial control panels or consumer electronics, not automotive under-hood use. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs automotive qualification requirements and thermal environment remains <85°C. |
| 74LVC245AT20 | Lower voltage range (1.65–3.6 V), higher speed (tPD ≤ 5.5 ns), but lacks TTL input compatibility and AEC-Q100 certification. | Optimized for battery-powered portable devices and low-voltage FPGA interfaces, not 5 V legacy system integration. | Choose for ultra-low-power, high-speed 3.3 V systems where TTL interfacing is unnecessary. |
Compared with SN74HCT245PWR and 74LVC245AT20, the MC74HCT245ADTR2G-Q uniquely combines automotive-grade temperature range, AEC-Q100 qualification, and native TTL input compatibility in a space-saving TSSOP-20 package-making it the sole option for production automotive bus isolation where reliability and legacy interoperability are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature for the MC74HCT245ADTR2G-Q?
The MC74HCT245ADTR2G-Q is rated for operation from −55°C to +125°C ambient temperature and is AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified. This specification ensures reliable functionality in under-hood automotive applications such as engine control units and transmission control modules where sustained high-temperature exposure occurs. The device's thermal resistance (θJA = 150°C/W in TSSOP-20) and guaranteed AC/DC parameters at 125°C confirm its suitability for these demanding conditions.
Does the MC74HCT245ADTR2G-Q require external pull-up resistors on its inputs?
No, the MC74HCT245ADTR2G-Q does not require external pull-up resistors on its inputs. Its HCT logic family features TTL-compatible input thresholds (VIH ≥ 2.0 V, VIL ≤ 0.8 V at VCC = 4.5–5.5 V), allowing direct interfacing with standard 5 V TTL outputs like 74LS and 74ALS devices. This eliminates the need for pull-up components and simplifies schematic design in mixed-logic systems.
Can the MC74HCT245ADTR2G-Q be used as a level shifter between 3.3 V and 5 V domains?
The MC74HCT245ADTR2G-Q is not recommended as a bidirectional level shifter between 3.3 V and 5 V domains. Its inputs are TTL-compatible but not 3.3 V tolerant, and its outputs swing rail-to-rail within the 4.5–5.5 V supply range. For 3.3 V ↔ 5 V translation, dedicated level-shifting ICs such as the TXS0108E or discrete solutions with appropriate voltage clamping should be used instead of the MC74HCT245ADTR2G-Q.
What is the purpose of the Direction (DIR) and Output Enable (OE̅) pins on the MC74HCT245ADTR2G-Q?
The Direction (DIR) pin controls data flow direction: when DIR = HIGH, data passes from Port A to Port B; when DIR = LOW, data flows from Port B to Port A. The active-low Output Enable (OE̅) pin places both ports into high-impedance state when asserted (OE̅ = LOW disables outputs). These independent controls allow flexible bus arbitration and isolation in multi-master systems, and are essential for implementing protocols like JTAG boundary scan or shared memory access in the MC74HCT245ADTR2G-Q.
Is the MC74HCT245ADTR2G-Q pin-compatible with the standard 74LS245?
Yes, the MC74HCT245ADTR2G-Q is pin-compatible with the 74LS245, as explicitly stated in the datasheet: "MC74HC245A/MC74HCT245A is identical in pinout to the LS245." This includes matching pin assignments for A1–A8, B1–B8, DIR, OE̅, GND, and VCC across all packages-including the TSSOP-20 variant of the MC74HCT245ADTR2G-Q-enabling drop-in replacement in legacy designs upgrading from bipolar TTL to CMOS-based transceivers.
