Product details
Overview
MM74HCT245SJX from onsemi is an octal 3-state bidirectional transceiver in SOIC-20 WB package, designed for asynchronous two-way data bus communication between TTL/NMOS and CMOS systems. It features TTL-compatible inputs, 6 mA minimum output drive, 16 ns typical propagation delay, and operates over –55°C to +125°C with 4.5–5.5 V supply.
For engineers reviewing the MM74HCT245SJX datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection factors include direction control (DIR) logic polarity, active-low enable (G), 3-state isolation timing (tPZL/tPLZ ≤40 ns), and compatibility with LS-TTL load driving (up to 15 units).
Technical Context
The MM74HCT245SJX implements a dual-rail CMOS transceiver architecture with separate DIR and G control lines enabling deterministic data flow directionality: DIR = HIGH enables A→B transfer; DIR = LOW enables B→A transfer. Its 3-state outputs are fully isolated when G = HIGH, with leakage current ≤±5 µA across full temperature range.
It uses advanced silicon-gate CMOS process to achieve TTL-level input thresholds (VIH ≥2.0 V, VIL ≤0.8 V) while maintaining low quiescent ICC ≤160 µA and high-speed switching (tPHL/tPLH ≤29 ns at CL = 50 pF, TA = –40°C to +85°C).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 4.5–5.5 V - ensures interoperability with standard 5 V TTL/CMOS buses without level shifting |
| Propagation Delay | 16 ns typical (CL = 45 pF) - supports >30 MHz bus toggle rates in minimal-load configurations |
| Output Drive | 6 mA min sink/source - drives up to 15 LS-TTL loads directly, eliminating need for buffer fanout stages |
| 3-State Enable/Disable | tPZL ≤40 ns, tPLZ ≤25 ns - guarantees fast bus arbitration and prevents contention during direction switching |
| Operating Temperature | –55°C to +125°C - qualified for extended industrial and automotive under-hood applications |
| Input Thresholds | VIH = 2.0 V, VIL = 0.8 V - matches TTL logic levels, enabling direct interface with legacy 74LS components |
| Quiescent Current | ICC ≤160 µA - reduces standby power in battery-backed or energy-sensitive bus systems |
Pinout & Package
MM74HCT245SJX is housed in a 20-pin SOIC wide-body (Case 751D-05) package measuring 12.8 mm × 7.5 mm × 2.5 mm, with 1.27 mm pitch and gull-wing leads suitable for reflow soldering.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (G) | Active-low Output Enable | When HIGH, all outputs enter high-impedance state; required for bus sharing and multi-driver arbitration |
| 2–9 (A1–A8) | Bus A Inputs/Outputs | Bidirectional I/O port connected to first data bus; direction determined by DIR and G states |
| 10 (GND) | Ground Reference | Primary return path for all internal logic and output drivers; must be low-inductance connection |
| 11–18 (B1–B8) | Bus B Inputs/Outputs | Bidirectional I/O port connected to second data bus; complements A-side for full-duplex bus bridging |
| 19 (DIR) | Direction Control | HIGH enables A→B data flow; LOW enables B→A flow - determines signal routing path through transceiver core |
| 20 (VCC) | Power Supply | +5 V nominal supply rail; decoupling capacitor (0.1 µF) required within 10 mm of pin for noise suppression |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| TTL-compatible inputs | Accepts standard 5 V TTL voltage thresholds (VIH ≥2.0 V, VIL ≤0.8 V), enabling plug-in replacement of 74LS245 without redesign |
| High-output drive capability | 6 mA minimum sink/source per output supports direct loading of 15 LS-TTL inputs, reducing external buffering needs |
| Low-power CMOS operation | 160 µA max ICC at 25°C allows use in thermally constrained or low-quiescent-power systems without thermal derating |
| Wide temperature range | Specified from –55°C to +125°C meets MIL-PRF-38535 Class B and AEC-Q100 Grade 1 requirements for harsh environments |
| Fast 3-state switching | tPZL ≤40 ns / tPLZ ≤25 ns ensures rapid bus release and acquisition, critical for time-critical arbitration protocols |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bidirectional transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74HCT245N | Same logic function, identical AC/DC specs, but in PDIP-20 package (longer lead length, higher inductance) | Preferred for through-hole prototyping or legacy board rework where SOIC footprint unavailable | Select SN74HCT245N only when manual assembly or socket-based testing is required; MM74HCT245SJX offers superior high-frequency performance due to lower package parasitics |
| 74VHC245FT | Higher speed (tPD ≤7.5 ns), wider VCC range (2–5.5 V), but lower drive (±8 mA) and no guaranteed –55°C operation | Suitable for 3.3 V mixed-voltage systems or consumer-grade equipment with tighter timing margins | Choose 74VHC245FT only if 3.3 V operation or sub-10 ns timing is mandatory; MM74HCT245SJX remains optimal for industrial 5 V bus integrity and extended temperature reliability |
Compared with SN74HCT245N and 74VHC245FT, the MM74HCT245SJX delivers best-in-class thermal robustness (–55°C to +125°C), proven bus-drive margin (6 mA min), and SOIC-20 WB mechanical stability for automated SMT production - making it the preferred choice for mission-critical industrial and automotive bus interfaces.

FAQ
What is the pin configuration and function of the MM74HCT245SJX?
The MM74HCT245SJX has 20 pins in SOIC-20 WB package: Pins 2–9 are bidirectional A-bus terminals, pins 11–18 are B-bus terminals, pin 1 is active-low Output Enable (G), pin 19 is Direction Control (DIR), pin 10 is GND, and pin 20 is VCC. The MM74HCT245SJX uses these to implement deterministic A↔B data flow with 3-state isolation when G is HIGH.
Does the MM74HCT245SJX support operation at 3.3 V supply?
No, the MM74HCT245SJX is specified only for 4.5–5.5 V operation per its Recommended Operating Ranges table. It lacks guaranteed functionality below 4.5 V; attempting 3.3 V operation may result in marginal VIH/VIL margins and undefined 3-state behavior. For 3.3 V systems, consider 74VHC245FT instead.
What is the maximum capacitive load the MM74HCT245SJX can drive reliably?
The MM74HCT245SJX is characterized up to 150 pF load capacitance in AC Electrical Characteristics, with tPHL/tPLH ≤45 ns at CL = 150 pF and TA = –55°C to +125°C. Driving beyond 150 pF risks violating propagation delay specs and increasing ground bounce; external series termination or buffer staging is recommended above this limit.
How does the MM74HCT245SJX handle static discharge protection?
The MM74HCT245SJX integrates diode-based ESD protection on all inputs, clamping to VCC and GND per Absolute Maximum Ratings. Each input withstands ±20 mA clamp current, supporting human-body-model (HBM) ESD immunity per JEDEC JS-001, though external TVS devices are still advised for board-level surge protection in industrial environments.
Is the MM74HCT245SJX pin-compatible with the SN74HCT245N?
Yes, the MM74HCT245SJX and SN74HCT245N share identical pin functions and logic behavior, but differ in package: MM74HCT245SJX uses SOIC-20 WB (751D-05), while SN74HCT245N uses PDIP-20. Their pinouts match electrically, but mechanical mounting and thermal performance differ significantly due to package construction.
