Product details
Overview
N74F245D,623 from Nexperia is an octal bidirectional 3-state transceiver IC used for bus interface isolation and data direction control between two 8-bit parallel buses. It features non-inverting logic, 4.0 ns typical propagation delay, ±5 V supply operation, 64 mA sink capability on B-port outputs, and high-impedance output disable during power-off - enabling safe hot-swap and bus-sharing in industrial backplane systems.
For engineers reviewing the N74F245D,623 datasheet, N74F245D,623 pinout, N74F245D,623 application, or N74F245D,623 equivalent, key selection criteria include bidirectional bus drive strength (B-port: 15 mA source / 64 mA sink), T/R-controlled direction switching, OE-gated 3-state behavior, and SO20 package compatibility with legacy 74F logic layouts.
Technical Context
The N74F245D,623 implements a dual-bus transceiver architecture with independent Transmit/Receive (T/R) control and Output Enable (OE) input. Its B-port outputs are rated for higher current drive (64 mA sink) than A-port outputs (24 mA sink), making it asymmetrically optimized for driving heavier capacitive loads on one side of the bus interface.
It operates strictly within the 74F TTL family voltage and timing specifications: VCC = 4.5–5.5 V, tPLH/tPHL ≤ 6.0 ns (max), and guaranteed high-impedance state when OE is high - critical for preventing bus contention in multi-master systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Logic Family | 74F TTL-compatible with 5 V nominal supply |
| Propagation Delay | 4.0 ns typical (A↔B), enabling >100 MHz bus toggle rates in short traces |
| B-port Sink Current | 64 mA per output - supports direct drive of multiple TTL inputs or moderate PCB trace capacitance |
| A-port Source Current | 15 mA per output - sufficient for standard TTL fan-out without buffering |
| Supply Current (ICC) | 70–100 mA total - defines thermal budget in dense logic arrays |
| Operating Temperature | 0°C to +70°C - commercial-grade rating suitable for office and industrial control enclosures |
| Output Enable Polarity | Active-low OE - simplifies connection to open-collector control signals or microcontroller GPIO |
Pinout & Package
Package: Plastic small outline (SO20), 20-pin, 7.5 mm body width, RoHS-compliant (SOT163-1).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | OE (Output Enable) | Active-low global enable; forces all B-port outputs into high-impedance when high |
| 2–9 | A0–A7 | A-side bidirectional data terminals; connected to local bus or controller |
| 10 | GND | Ground reference for all logic and I/O |
| 11 | VCC | +5 V power supply; decoupling capacitor required at pin |
| 12 | OE (redundant label in original doc; confirmed as OE) | Same function as Pin 1 - dual-labeled for layout clarity in older schematics |
| 13–19, 20 | B0–B7 | B-side bidirectional data terminals; designed for higher-current bus loading |
| 19 | T/R (Transmit/Receive) | Direction control: low = B→A, high = A→B; determines data flow path |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Asymmetric drive strength | B-port sinks 64 mA (vs. A-port's 24 mA), allowing dedicated high-load bus segment interfacing |
| Power-off high-impedance | B-port outputs enter Z-state when VCC = 0 V - prevents back-driving and bus contention during hot insertion |
| Fast 3-state enable/disable | tPZH/tPZL ≤ 9.0 ns max - minimizes bus turnaround time in burst-mode transfers |
| Input clamp protection | VIK = –1.2 V min - protects against negative transients on A/B port inputs |
| Low-level input current | IIL = –1.2 mA max at 0.5 V - ensures reliable logic-low recognition under noise or weak pull-downs |
Applications
| Industrial Backplane Interface | Legacy System Bus Extension |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74F245N | Identical electrical specs and pinout; DIP20 package (SOT146-1) instead of SO20 | Through-hole mounting only; no surface-mount footprint compatibility | Select for prototyping or legacy through-hole PCBs where reflow is not available |
| 74LCX245 | Lower VCC range (2.0–3.6 V), CMOS technology, 5 V tolerant inputs, 2.5 ns typical delay | Not 74F TTL compatible; requires level-shifting if interfacing with 5 V logic | Select for mixed-voltage systems needing lower power and faster speed, with appropriate voltage translation |
Compared with SN74F245N and 74LCX245, the N74F245D,623 provides drop-in SO20 replacement for 74F-based designs requiring 5 V operation, proven reliability in industrial temperature range, and full backward compatibility with Philips/Nexperia's 74F qualification standards - without requiring layout changes or voltage translation.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating voltage for the N74F245D,623?
The N74F245D,623 has an absolute maximum supply voltage (VCC) of +7.0 V, but its recommended operating range is strictly 4.5 V to 5.5 V. Operating outside this window risks violating DC electrical characteristics such as VOH, VOL, and output drive capability. The N74F245D,623 is not rated for 3.3 V operation and must be used with a regulated 5 V rail.
Does the N74F245D,623 support hot-swap or live-insertion?
Yes - the N74F245D,623 enters a high-impedance state on all B-port outputs when VCC drops to 0 V, preventing back-driving of the bus during insertion or removal. This behavior is explicitly specified in the datasheet under "Outputs are placed in high impedance state during power-off conditions", making the N74F245D,623 suitable for hot-pluggable backplane applications.
What is the difference between the A-port and B-port drive capabilities of the N74F245D,623?
The B-port outputs of the N74F245D,623 are rated for 64 mA sink current and 15 mA source current, while the A-port outputs provide 24 mA sink and 15 mA source. This asymmetry means the B-port is optimized for driving heavier loads (e.g., longer traces or multiple TTL inputs), whereas the A-port is intended for lighter local bus connections - a key design distinction reflected in the N74F245D,623's internal output stage sizing.
Can the N74F245D,623 be used with 3.3 V logic systems?
No - the N74F245D,623 is a 5 V-only TTL-family device with VIL = 0.8 V and VIH = 2.0 V thresholds, and no 5 V tolerance on inputs when operated at lower VCC. Using it with 3.3 V logic without level translation risks incorrect logic interpretation and marginal timing. For 3.3 V systems, consider 74LCX245 or 74LVC245 instead of the N74F245D,623.
Is the N74F245D,623 pin-compatible with other 74F245 variants?
Yes - the N74F245D,623 shares identical pinout and functionality with all 74F245 variants including N74F245N (DIP20) and N74F245DB (SSOP20). All use the SOT163-1 SO20 footprint, and the pin assignments for A0–A7, B0–B7, OE, T/R, VCC, and GND are fully consistent across packages - enabling direct substitution in existing layouts when upgrading from DIP to SO.
