Product details
Overview
MC74HCT245AFELG from onsemi is an octal 3-state noninverting bus transceiver with LSTTL-compatible inputs, designed for bidirectional asynchronous data bus communication between TTL/NMOS and CMOS systems. It operates from 4.5 V to 5.5 V, supports –55 °C to +125 °C industrial temperature range, delivers 15 LSTTL load drive capability, and features active-low Output Enable and unidirectional Direction control for A↔B data flow.
For engineers reviewing the MC74HCT245AFELG datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page provides verified functional identity, SOEIAJ-20 package mapping, confirmed propagation delays (max 33 ns), real-world interface roles in level-shifting and bus isolation, and two validated alternative parts with documented technical and application differences.
Technical Context
The MC74HCT245AFELG implements a dual-bus transceiver architecture with independent 3-state control: Output Enable (pin 1) places all I/Os in high-impedance, while Direction (pin 19) selects A→B or B→A data path. Its silicon-gate CMOS design ensures TTL/NMOS input compatibility (VIH = 2.0 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max) and direct interfacing to CMOS, NMOS, and TTL loads.
Internal logic conforms to JEDEC Standard No. 7A, with guaranteed DC electrical performance across –55 °C to +125 °C: VOH ≥ 4.4 V at 4.5 V VCC (IOUT = –6 mA), VOL ≤ 0.4 V (IOUT = 6 mA), and IOZ ≤ ±10 µA in 3-state. Propagation delay tPLH/tPHL is 33 ns max at 125 °C with CL = 50 pF.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - Enables stable operation in 5 V legacy TTL/NMOS and modern CMOS systems without external regulation. |
| Propagation Delay | 33 ns max (A↔B) at 125 °C - Ensures timing compliance in high-speed industrial bus arbitration and memory-mapped I/O. |
| Output Drive | 15 LSTTL loads - Supports direct fanout to multiple legacy TTL devices without buffer amplification. |
| Input Compatibility | LSTTL-level inputs (VIH ≥ 2.0 V, VIL ≤ 0.8 V) - Eliminates need for external level shifters when interfacing 5 V TTL outputs. |
| 3-State Leakage | ±10 µA max (IOZ) at 125 °C - Maintains bus integrity during high-impedance isolation in multi-master systems. |
| Operating Temperature | –55 °C to +125 °C - Qualified for under-hood automotive, industrial control, and aerospace avionics environments. |
| Package | SOEIAJ-20 (Case 967) - Surface-mount, 0.5 mm pitch, 12.6 mm × 7.6 mm footprint compatible with standard reflow profiles. |
Pinout & Package
MC74HCT245AFELG is housed in a 20-pin SOEIAJ (JEDEC MS-013AC) package, measuring 12.6 mm × 7.6 mm × 2.35 mm, with gull-wing leads, Pb-free finish, and RoHS compliance. Pin 1 is Output Enable (active-low), pin 10 is GND, pin 19 is Direction, and pin 20 is VCC.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Output Enable (OE̅) | Active-low global 3-state control: asserts high-impedance on all A/B I/Os when high. |
| 2–9 | A1–A8 | Port A data inputs/outputs - Bidirectionally connected to first bus segment; driven by Direction state. |
| 10 | GND | Ground reference for all internal logic and I/O - Must be low-impedance connection to system ground plane. |
| 11–18 | B1–B8 | Port B data inputs/outputs - Bidirectionally connected to second bus segment; directionally coupled to A port. |
| 19 | Direction (DIR) | Controls data flow direction: DIR = low → B→A; DIR = high → A→B. |
| 20 | VCC | Positive supply input - Requires local 4.5–5.5 V decoupling (≤100 nF ceramic) adjacent to pin. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| LSTTL-compatible inputs | VIH = 2.0 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max - Directly accepts TTL/NMOS logic levels without pull-ups or voltage translation. |
| High noise immunity | Input hysteresis not specified; guaranteed VIH/VIL margins provide >1.2 V noise margin at 5 V supply. |
| Low quiescent current | ICC = 4.0 µA typical at 25 °C - Minimizes standby power in battery-backed or energy-sensitive applications. |
| Robust 3-state control | tPLZ/tPHZ = 42 ns max at 125 °C - Ensures clean bus release timing in time-critical arbitration protocols. |
| Pb-free & RoHS compliant | Meets EU Directive 2011/65/EU - Suitable for environmentally regulated industrial and medical equipment. |

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 package (0.65 mm pitch); 30 ns max tPLH at 25 °C vs. 33 ns for MC74HCT245AFELG; identical DC specs. | Higher density layout; lower thermal resistance (450 mW max vs. 450 mW for SOEIAJ); no lead coplanarity concerns. | Select when board space is constrained and reflow profile supports fine-pitch TSSOP; verify mechanical clearance for taller SOEIAJ body. |
| 74HCT245D,653 | SOIC-20W package (Case 751D); 28 ns max tPLH at 85 °C; same pinout but wider body (7.6 mm vs. 7.6 mm width, 12.95 mm length). | Legacy PCB compatibility with existing SOIC footprints; higher moisture sensitivity level (MSL3 vs. MSL1 for SOEIAJ). | Choose for drop-in replacement in mature designs using SOIC-20; confirm humidity bake requirements before reflow. |
Compared with SN74HCT245PWR and 74HCT245D,653, the MC74HCT245AFELG offers identical logic function and DC characteristics but differs in mechanical form factor (SOEIAJ-20), thermal performance (450 mW max power dissipation), and JEDEC marking compliance - making it suitable for Japanese-market industrial equipment requiring EIAJ-standard packaging.

FAQ
Is MC74HCT245AFELG still in production?
No, MC74HCT245AFELG is marked as discontinued per onsemi's November 2025 datasheet revision. However, Aetrix Electronics maintains limited legacy inventory and supports obsolescence mitigation through cross-reference analysis, last-time buy coordination, and qualified alternatives like SN74HCT245PWR and 74HCT245D,653 for ongoing production.
What is the maximum operating temperature for MC74HCT245AFELG?
The MC74HCT245AFELG is rated for –55 °C to +125 °C, verified across all electrical parameters in the datasheet's Recommended Operating Conditions table. This full industrial temperature range applies specifically to the SOEIAJ-20 package variant and is confirmed in both DC and AC Electrical Characteristics sections.
Does MC74HCT245AFELG require external pull-up resistors on its inputs?
No, MC74HCT245AFELG does not require external pull-up resistors because its LSTTL-compatible inputs have VIH = 2.0 V minimum and VIL = 0.8 V maximum - fully compatible with standard TTL output levels. Unused inputs must still be tied to VCC or GND per datasheet guidance to prevent floating states.
Can MC74HCT245AFELG interface directly with 3.3 V CMOS logic?
No, MC74HCT245AFELG is not designed for direct 3.3 V CMOS interfacing: its minimum VIH is 2.0 V at 4.5–5.5 V supply, but 3.3 V CMOS outputs may not reliably exceed that threshold. For 3.3 V ↔ 5 V translation, a dedicated level shifter or HCT-family device with dual-supply capability is required - MC74HCT245AFELG functions only as a 5 V bus transceiver.
What is the pin 1 function on MC74HCT245AFELG?
Pin 1 of MC74HCT245AFELG is Output Enable (OE̅), an active-low control input. When OE̅ is high, all A and B port I/Os enter high-impedance state; when low, data flows bidirectionally based on the Direction (pin 19) setting. This behavior is explicitly defined in the FUNCTION TABLE and PIN ASSIGNMENT sections of the official onsemi datasheet.
