Product details
Overview
PI74FCT2245CTQE from Pericom Semiconductor is a fast CMOS octal bidirectional transceiver with 25-Ω series output termination, TTL-compatible I/O, and industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C). It enables asynchronous two-way data transfer between 8-bit buses, supports direction control via T/R input, and features high-impedance outputs when OE is HIGH. Used in bus isolation and level-shifting applications in embedded controllers and industrial backplanes.
For engineers reviewing the PI74FCT2245CTQE datasheet, PI74FCT2245CTQE pinout, PI74FCT2245CTQE application, or PI74FCT2245CTQE equivalent, key selection criteria include 25-Ω integrated series termination, propagation delay ≤4.1 ns (max), output drive capability of 64 mA (IOL), and compatibility with 5 V TTL logic families in space-constrained QSOP-20 layouts.
Technical Context
This device implements an 8-bit bidirectional bus transceiver with independent transmit/receive direction control and 3-state output enable. Its internal 25-Ω series resistors on all A and B port outputs suppress signal reflections without external termination components.
The T/R input determines data flow direction: HIGH enables A→B transmission; LOW enables B→A reception. OE (active LOW) places both ports in high-impedance state when asserted, enabling bus sharing across multiple devices on the same net.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Propagation Delay (tPLH/tPHL) | ≤4.1 ns max at CL = 50 pF - ensures sub-5 ns timing margin for 100+ MHz bus clocking. |
| Output Drive (IOL) | 64 mA at VOL ≤ 0.50 V - supports direct driving of 50 Ω transmission lines or TTL loads. |
| Supply Voltage (VCC) | 5.0 V ±5% - compatible with standard 5 V logic rails and legacy industrial systems. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial-grade operation without derating. |
| Input Hysteresis (VH) | 200 mV - improves noise immunity on noisy bus environments like motor control backplanes. |
| Quiescent Current (ICC) | 0.1–500 µA - enables low-static-power operation in always-on monitoring subsystems. |
| Output Termination | Integrated 25 Ω series resistor on all A/B pins - eliminates need for 8 external SMD resistors. |
Pinout & Package
PI74FCT2245CTQE is housed in a 20-pin plastic QSOP (Quarter-Size Outline Package), 150-mil wide body, with 0.65 mm lead pitch and gull-wing leads. The package meets JEDEC MO-137 standards and supports reflow soldering per IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (T/R) | Direction Control Input | HIGH selects A→B data flow; LOW selects B→A - enables full-duplex bus arbitration without external logic. |
| 2–9 (A0–A7) | Side A Bidirectional I/O | 8-bit port configurable as input or 3-state output - connects to microcontroller data bus or FPGA side A interface. |
| 10 (GND) | Ground Reference | Primary ground return for all I/O and core logic - must be low-inductance connection to minimize ground bounce. |
| 11 (VCC) | Power Supply | 5 V supply for internal logic and output drivers - requires local 0.1 µF ceramic decoupling adjacent to pin. |
| 12 (OE) | Output Enable (Active LOW) | Drives A/B ports into Hi-Z when HIGH - allows multi-device bus sharing and hot-swap isolation. |
| 13–20 (B0–B7) | Side B Bidirectional I/O | 8-bit port mirroring A-side functionality - interfaces to peripheral bus, memory module, or isolated subsystem. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated 25 Ω Series Output Termination | Eliminates 16 external termination resistors, reduces PCB area and BOM count in high-speed bus designs. |
| TTL-Compatible I/O Levels | VIH = 2.0 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max - interoperable with legacy 5 V microcontrollers, CPLDs, and ASICs. |
| Low Ground Bounce Outputs | Minimizes simultaneous switching noise during multi-bit transitions - critical for mixed-signal system stability. |
| Hysteresis on All Inputs | 200 mV threshold window - rejects EMI-induced glitches on long traces or unshielded cables. |
| Industrial Temperature Range | –40°C to +85°C operation without performance degradation - suitable for factory automation and outdoor edge nodes. |
Applications
| Industrial PLC Backplane Interface | Embedded Controller Bus Isolation |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal bidirectional transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74FCT245CTQ | No integrated 25 Ω termination; higher VOL (0.55 V) at 64 mA; identical pinout and timing. | Requires external 25–33 Ω series resistors per line for clean signal integrity. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs PCB area savings and termination simplicity. |
| 74LVC245APW | 3.3 V only; no built-in termination; lower drive (24 mA); different pinout (TSSOP-20). | Not pin-compatible; requires level-shifting for 5 V systems; unsuitable for legacy 5 V backplanes. | Choose only for new 3.3 V designs where voltage scaling and lower power dominate over backward compatibility. |

FAQ
Is PI74FCT2245CTQE pin-compatible with standard 74FCT245 devices?
Yes - PI74FCT2245CTQE uses identical 20-pin QSOP pinout and function mapping as PI74FCT245CTQE, differing only in integrated 25 Ω output resistors. No PCB redesign is needed when upgrading from non-terminated variants for improved signal integrity.
What is the maximum data rate supported by PI74FCT2245CTQE?
Based on its 4.1 ns max propagation delay and 50 pF load condition, PI74FCT2245CTQE reliably supports data rates up to 100 Mbps in point-to-point configurations. For longer traces or stubbed topologies, eye diagram validation at target bit rate is recommended.
Can OE and T/R be driven directly from a 3.3 V microcontroller GPIO?
Yes - VIH is guaranteed at 2.0 V minimum and VIL at 0.8 V maximum, making PI74FCT2245CTQE compatible with 3.3 V logic outputs without level shifters. However, ensure VCC remains at 5.0 V for correct output drive strength and voltage levels.
Does the 25 Ω series resistor affect DC voltage levels at the load?
No - the 25 Ω resistor is placed between the output driver and the pin; it does not alter VOH/VOL specifications under static conditions. Its effect is purely dynamic, reducing edge-induced ringing on transmission lines with characteristic impedance near 50 Ω.
