Product details
Overview
MM74HC245ASJX from ON Semiconductor is an octal 3-STATE bidirectional transceiver in a 20-lead SOP package (EIAJ TYPE II, 5.3 mm wide), designed for asynchronous bus-to-bus communication. It operates from 2–6 V, delivers ≥6 mA output drive per pin, exhibits 13 ns typical propagation delay at 4.5 V, and supports true data transfer with active-low enable (G) and direction control (DIR). It is used in industrial control backplanes and legacy microprocessor data bus interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the MM74HC245ASJX datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include its 20-pin SOP footprint, bidirectional 3-STATE logic compatibility with HC-family timing, bus capacitance drive capability up to 15 LS-TTL loads, and absence of Schmitt-trigger inputs.
Technical Context
The MM74HC245ASJX implements a dual-rail CMOS transceiver architecture with separate A- and B-side I/O banks, enabling configurable data flow direction via the DIR input. Its 3-STATE outputs are controlled by an active-low G signal, allowing bus isolation during disable states without contention.
It uses silicon-gate CMOS technology to achieve TTL-compatible speed (13 ns typical tPHL/tPLH at VCC = 4.5 V, CL = 50 pF) while maintaining low quiescent current (≤80 µA max at 6 V) and high noise immunity. Input protection diodes clamp to VCC and GND for ESD robustness.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 2–6 V - supports mixed-voltage system interfacing (e.g., 3.3 V ↔ 5 V buses) |
| Propagation Delay (tPHL/tPLH) | 13 ns typical at 4.5 V, 50 pF - enables reliable operation up to ~30 MHz bus toggle rates |
| Output Drive Strength | ≥6 mA sink/source per pin - sufficient to drive 15 LS-TTL loads without external buffering |
| 3-STATE Enable/Disable Time | tPZH/tPZL ≤35 ns, tPHZ/tPLZ ≤25 ns at 4.5 V - ensures fast bus arbitration and minimal bus turnaround latency |
| Input Voltage Thresholds | VIH = 3.15 V, VIL = 1.35 V at 4.5 V - provides 1.35 V noise margin under worst-case conditions |
| Quiescent Supply Current | ≤80 µA max at 6 V - minimizes standby power in battery-backed or low-power hold modes |
Pinout & Package
MM74HC245ASJX is housed in a 20-lead Small Outline Package (SOP), EIAJ TYPE II, 5.3 mm wide (Package Number M20D), with gull-wing leads and standard 0.65 mm pitch.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A1–A8 | Input/Output Port A | Bidirectional data terminals connected to first bus; driven high/low or placed in high-impedance state based on G and DIR |
| B1–B8 | Input/Output Port B | Bidirectional data terminals connected to second bus; direction relative to A side determined by DIR state |
| G | Active-Low Output Enable | When LOW, enables transceiver function; when HIGH, forces all A/B outputs into 3-STATE (high-Z) |
| DIR | Direction Control | When HIGH, data flows A→B; when LOW, data flows B→A - no internal latching, synchronous with G |
| VCC | Positive Supply | Power rail for logic core and I/O buffers; must be decoupled locally due to switching current transients |
| GND | Ground Reference | Common return path for supply and signal currents; requires low-inductance connection to minimize ground bounce |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| True bidirectional data transfer | Supports A→B or B→A flow without inversion - preserves logic polarity across both directions |
| High-speed CMOS performance | 13 ns typical propagation delay matches LS-TTL timing while consuming <1% of its power |
| Wide supply voltage range | 2–6 V operation allows direct interface with 3.3 V microcontrollers and 5 V peripheral buses |
| Bus-compatible 3-STATE outputs | Outputs fully disconnect from bus when disabled - prevents contention in multi-driver shared-bus systems |
Applications
| Industrial Backplane Interface | Legacy Microprocessor Bus Extension |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bidirectional transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74HC245N | Same logic function and AC/DC specs; packaged in PDIP (N20A) instead of SOP (M20D); slightly higher tPHL/tPLH (15 ns typ at 4.5 V) | Preferred for through-hole prototyping or legacy board repair where SOP rework is impractical | Select SN74HC245N only when PDIP mounting is required; not drop-in compatible with MM74HC245ASJX's SOP footprint |
| 74VHC245SJX | Higher speed (8 ns typ tPHL/tPLH at 4.5 V), lower ICC (≤2 µA), but narrower VCC range (2–5.5 V); identical SOP-20 pinout and logic behavior | Suitable for high-frequency bus extensions where sub-10 ns timing margins are critical | 74VHC245SJX is a functional and pinout-compatible upgrade if VCC ≤5.5 V and faster propagation is needed |
Compared with SN74HC245N and 74VHC245SJX, the MM74HC245ASJX offers optimal balance of speed, power, and 6 V tolerance in SOP packaging - making it ideal for industrial designs requiring robust 5 V operation and surface-mount assembly.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the MM74HC245ASJX?
The MM74HC245ASJX is rated for operation from –40 °C to +85 °C ambient temperature. This industrial-grade range ensures reliability in factory automation, motor control enclosures, and outdoor instrumentation environments where thermal cycling occurs. The device's DC and AC specifications are guaranteed across this full range, with parameters such as VOH, VOL, and propagation delay validated at both extremes per the datasheet.
Does the MM74HC245ASJX have Schmitt-trigger inputs?
No, the MM74HC245ASJX does not incorporate Schmitt-trigger inputs. Its input thresholds are standard CMOS levels (VIH = 3.15 V, VIL = 1.35 V at VCC = 4.5 V), with no hysteresis. This means clean, monotonic input transitions are required - slow-rising or noisy signals may cause metastability or increased dynamic power consumption. External RC filtering or dedicated Schmitt-trigger buffers should be used if driving from slow or noisy sources.
What is the maximum capacitive load the MM74HC245ASJX can drive reliably?
The MM74HC245ASJX is characterized to drive up to 15 LS-TTL loads, equivalent to approximately 450 pF total bus capacitance (30 pF per LS-TTL input × 15). At 4.5 V supply and 50 pF load, its typical propagation delay is 13 ns; delay increases to 22 ns at 150 pF. For loads exceeding 150 pF, signal integrity analysis and possible series termination or driver staging should be performed before final design sign-off.
Can the MM74HC245ASJX operate at 3.3 V supply voltage?
Yes, the MM74HC245ASJX operates over a 2–6 V supply range, including 3.3 V nominal systems. At 3.3 V, VIH is 2.31 V and VIL is 0.99 V, providing 0.99 V noise margin. Propagation delay increases to ~20 ns (typical) at 3.3 V/50 pF, and output drive drops to ~4 mA. It remains fully compatible with 3.3 V LVTTL and mixed-voltage interfaces when paired with appropriate level translation on control lines (G, DIR).
Is the MM74HC245ASJX pinout compatible with the SN74HC245N?
Yes, the MM74HC245ASJX and SN74HC245N share identical pin functions and numbering across all 20 pins - both follow JEDEC-standard 20-pin transceiver layout. However, they differ in package: MM74HC245ASJX uses SOP (M20D), while SN74HC245N uses PDIP (N20A). Physical replacement requires PCB footprint adaptation; electrical and logic behavior are interchangeable when mounted in their respective packages.
