Product details
Overview
MC74LCX245DTR2 from onsemi is a low-voltage CMOS octal transceiver with 5 V-tolerant inputs/outputs, non-inverting bidirectional data flow, 3-state control, and operation from 1.65 V to 5.5 V. It delivers ±24 mA drive at VCC = 3.0 V, supports live insertion, and features IOFF protection for hot-swap applications in memory address buses and TTL-level bus systems.
For engineers reviewing the MC74LCX245DTR2 datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include 5 V tolerance with sub-2 V supply compatibility, direction control via T/R input, output enable timing (tPZH/tPLZ ≤ 7.0 ns at 4.5–5.5 V), and AEC-Q100 qualification for automotive use.
Technical Context
The MC74LCX245DTR2 implements a dual-bus, non-inverting transceiver architecture with independent OE (active-HIGH disable) and T/R (active-HIGH transmit, active-LOW receive) controls. Its 5 V-tolerant I/O allows safe interfacing between 3.3 V logic and legacy 5 V systems without level shifters.
It features IOFF circuitry ensuring high-impedance outputs when VCC = 0 V, enabling live insertion in backplane or hot-swap modules. Propagation delay is 5.0 ns max (tPLH/tPHL) and output enable/disable times are 7.0 ns / 6.0 ns (tPZH/tPLZ) at 4.5–5.5 V, supporting high-speed bus arbitration.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 1.65 V to 5.5 V - enables single-supply operation across LVTTL, LVCMOS, and mixed-voltage system interfaces |
| IO Drive | ±24 mA at VCC = 3.0 V - sufficient to drive multiple TTL loads or terminated transmission lines without external buffers |
| tPLH/tPHL | 5.0 ns max at 4.5–5.5 V - supports >100 MHz bus clocking with tight timing margins |
| tPZH/tPLZ | 7.0 ns / 6.0 ns max at 4.5–5.5 V - ensures fast bus turnaround for half-duplex protocols |
| VI Absolute Max | −0.5 V to +6.5 V - guarantees robustness against transient overvoltage and 5 V signal injection during power sequencing |
| IOFF Leakage | ≤10 µA at VI = 5.5 V - prevents back-powering of powered-down domains in modular systems |
| ESD HBM | >2000 V - meets industrial handling requirements without additional protection circuitry |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP-20 package (Case 948E), 0.65 mm pitch, 6.5 mm × 4.4 mm footprint, lead-free (G suffix), moisture sensitivity level 1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 19 | T/R | Direction control: HIGH = A→B, LOW = B→A - enables bidirectional data routing without external logic |
| 12, 20 | OE | Output enable: HIGH = high-impedance state on both A and B ports - provides bus isolation during arbitration or standby |
| 2–9 | A0–A7 | Side A I/O terminals - connect to local processor or controller bus; 5 V tolerant even at 1.65 V VCC |
| 11–18 | B0–B7 | Side B I/O terminals - interface to peripheral or memory bus; identical electrical specs to A-side |
| 10 | GND | Ground reference - must be low-inductance connection to minimize switching noise coupling |
| 20 | VCC | Power supply - decoupling capacitor (0.1 µF ceramic) required within 5 mm for stable high-speed operation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 5 V-tolerant I/O | Enables direct connection to 5 V TTL devices while operating from 1.65–3.3 V supplies - eliminates level translators in mixed-voltage designs |
| IOFF protection | Guarantees high-impedance outputs when VCC = 0 V - essential for hot-plug capability in modular backplanes and docking stations |
| Low static ICC | ≤10 µA in all three states - reduces quiescent power in battery-backed or always-on subsystems |
| Latchup immunity | >100 mA - exceeds JEDEC JESD78 requirements, ensuring reliability under transient fault conditions |
| AEC-Q100 qualified | Qualified per Grade 1 (−40°C to +125°C) with PPAP support - suitable for automotive body control and infotainment modules |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC245APWR | Same 1.65–3.6 V VCC range; 5 V-tolerant I/O; slightly higher tPLH (6.7 ns max); no IOFF spec | Not AEC-Q100 qualified; rated only to +85°C ambient | Preferred for cost-sensitive commercial systems where automotive qualification is unnecessary |
| 74ALVC245PW | Wider VCC range (1.65–3.6 V); same 5 V tolerance; lower drive (±24 mA at VCC = 3.3 V); no AEC-Q100 cert | Higher propagation delay (7.5 ns max); not specified for hot-swap | Suitable for general-purpose 3.3 V bus extension where IOFF and extended temperature are not required |
Compared with MC74LCX245DTR2, SN74LVC245APWR lacks IOFF and automotive qualification but offers tighter parametric consistency in commercial environments, while 74ALVC245PW trades off hot-swap robustness and temperature range for broader vendor availability and lower unit cost.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage rating for MC74LCX245DTR2?
The MC74LCX245DTR2 has a maximum DC supply voltage (VCC) rating of +6.5 V, with recommended operation up to 5.5 V. This margin allows safe handling of transient overvoltage events and ensures robustness during power-rail sequencing in mixed-voltage systems. The device remains functional and undamaged within this absolute maximum limit, though sustained operation above 5.5 V is not recommended per datasheet guidelines.
Does MC74LCX245DTR2 support hot-swap functionality?
Yes, MC74LCX245DTR2 supports live insertion and withdrawal via its IOFF specification, which guarantees high-impedance outputs when VCC = 0 V. This prevents current backflow into unpowered circuit sections during hot-plug events. The feature is explicitly validated in the datasheet and makes MC74LCX245DTR2 suitable for modular backplanes, docking stations, and field-replaceable units requiring zero-downtime maintenance.
What is the meaning of the "−Q" suffix in MC74LCX245DTR2G−Q*?
The "−Q" suffix in MC74LCX245DTR2G−Q* denotes an automotive-grade variant meeting AEC-Q100 qualification standards and supporting PPAP documentation. It indicates unique site and process control requirements, including enhanced traceability, extended temperature validation (−40°C to +125°C), and stricter lot acceptance testing - all critical for automotive body control, infotainment, and ADAS applications where reliability is mandated.
Can MC74LCX245DTR2 interface directly between 1.8 V and 5 V logic domains?
Yes, MC74LCX245DTR2 can interface directly between 1.8 V and 5 V logic domains. Its 5 V-tolerant inputs accept VI up to 5.5 V regardless of VCC (as low as 1.65 V), and its outputs swing rail-to-rail (0 V to VCC). When VCC = 1.8 V, the device safely receives 5 V signals and drives 1.8 V-compatible loads - eliminating external level shifters in mixed-voltage systems such as IoT edge nodes with legacy peripherals.
What package type does MC74LCX245DTR2 use, and what are its key mechanical features?
MC74LCX245DTR2 uses the TSSOP-20 package (Case 948E), measuring 6.5 mm × 4.4 mm with 0.65 mm lead pitch. It is Pb-free (G suffix), RoHS compliant, and rated MSL Level 1 (unlimited floor life). Key features include gull-wing leads for reliable solder joint formation, exposed pad not present, and compatibility with standard SMT reflow profiles - making it suitable for high-density PCB layouts in space-constrained automotive and industrial modules.
