Product details
Overview
SN64BCT25245DWRG4 from Texas Instruments is a 25-Ω octal bus transceiver with BiCMOS design, supporting bidirectional asynchronous data flow between A and B buses via DIR control, sinking up to 188 mA on A port for incident-wave switching on 25-Ω lines, and operating across −40°C to 85°C in SOIC-24 package.
For engineers reviewing the SN64BCT25245DWRG4 datasheet, SN64BCT25245DWRG4 pinout, SN64BCT25245DWRG4 application, or SN64BCT25245DWRG4 equivalent, key selection factors include 25-Ω line driving capability, high-impedance state during power sequencing, distributed VCC/GND noise suppression, and dual-voltage logic compatibility (VIL = 0.8 V, VIH = 2 V).
Technical Context
This transceiver implements true 3-state bidirectional bus interface logic with separate direction (DIR) and output-enable (OE) controls, enabling A→B or B→A data flow under active-low OE. Its BiCMOS architecture delivers low ICCZ (12–16 mA) while sustaining high current drive for transmission-line termination.
Designed specifically for incident-wave switching on ≥25-Ω lines, it features distributed power/ground pins to minimize simultaneous-switching noise and ensures high-impedance outputs during power-up/down when VCC < ~3 V - critical for hot-swap and system-level bus isolation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - supports standard 5-V TTL/CMOS systems with ±10% supply tolerance. |
| IOL (A port) | 188 mA - enables direct incident-wave switching on 25-Ω transmission lines without external termination. |
| tPLH / tPHL | 1.2–6.7 ns - sub-7-ns propagation delay ensures timing compliance in high-speed bus arbitration and memory interfacing. |
| IOZ (Power-up/down) | <70 µA - guarantees high-impedance state during voltage ramp, preventing bus contention during sequencing. |
| ESD Protection | >2000 V per MIL-STD-883C Method 3015 - provides robust handling in manufacturing and board-level integration. |
| Operating Temp | −40°C to 85°C - qualified for industrial-grade embedded and communications equipment environments. |
Pinout & Package
SN64BCT25245DWRG4 is housed in a 24-pin SOIC (DW) package with gull-wing leads, 300-mil body width, and RoHS-compliant NiPdAu finish (Level-1 MSL). Pin layout follows data-flow-through topology: all A-side inputs on left, B-side outputs on right, with distributed VCC (pins 11, 20) and GND (pins 2, 5, 7, 10, 13) for noise reduction.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A1–A8 | A-side data inputs/outputs | 8-bit parallel bus port; bidirectional when enabled, high-Z when OE high. |
| B1–B8 | B-side data inputs/outputs | 8-bit parallel bus port; direction determined by DIR; high-Z when OE high. |
| DIR | Direction control input | Low = B→A transfer; High = A→B transfer; referenced to VCC/GND, TTL-compatible thresholds. |
| OE | Output enable input | Active-low; forces both A and B ports into high-impedance state when high. |
| VCC (pins 11, 20) | Supply voltage | Dual VCC pins reduce IR drop and switching noise across wide bus operation. |
| GND (pins 2, 5, 7, 10, 13) | Ground reference | Five distributed GND pins minimize ground bounce during simultaneous 8-bit switching. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 25-Ω line driving | 188-mA A-port sink current enables clean incident-wave switching on controlled-impedance PCB traces without added resistors. |
| Data-flow-through pinout | A and B ports placed on opposite sides of package simplifies PCB routing and reduces crosstalk in dense bus layouts. |
| Power-up/power-down high-Z | Outputs remain high-impedance until VCC exceeds ~3 V - eliminates bus conflicts during power sequencing or hot-plug events. |
| Distributed VCC/GND | Five GND and two VCC pins suppress simultaneous-switching noise, improving signal integrity in multi-bit parallel interfaces. |
| BiCMOS process | Combines bipolar speed and CMOS low ICCZ (12–16 mA), reducing quiescent power vs. pure bipolar transceivers. |
Applications
| Memory Address Buffering | Backplane Bus Interface |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Driving address lines from microcontroller to multiple SRAM or EPROM devices on shared bus. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional 3-state address driver with direction control synchronized to memory access cycles.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal bus transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74BCT244N | Octal buffer (unidirectional), no DIR pin; 64-mA IOL; DIP-20 package only. | Lacks bidirectional capability and 25-Ω line drive; suited for fixed-direction address/data latching. | Select when direction is static and lower drive current suffices; not suitable for dynamic bus sharing. |
| SN74ACT245DW | Octal transceiver with 24-mA IOL (B port), CMOS process, 4.5–5.5 V, SOIC-20. | Lower drive strength, no incident-wave optimization; higher noise immunity but insufficient for 25-Ω line switching. | Choose for lower-power, noise-sensitive applications where 25-Ω line termination is handled externally. |
Compared with SN64BCT25245DWRG4, SN74BCT244N lacks bidirectionality and line-driving capability, while SN74ACT245DW trades drive strength for CMOS efficiency - making SN64BCT25245DWRG4 uniquely suited for high-fidelity 25-Ω bus interconnects requiring incident-wave control.

FAQ
What is the primary function of the SN64BCT25245DWRG4 in a system?
The SN64BCT25245DWRG4 serves as an octal bidirectional bus transceiver that enables asynchronous data transfer between two 8-bit buses (A and B) under DIR control, with OE enabling high-impedance isolation. Its 188-mA A-port sink current is specifically designed to drive 25-Ω transmission lines using incident-wave switching - a key requirement in high-speed memory and backplane interfaces where signal integrity depends on controlled impedance matching.
Does the SN64BCT25245DWRG4 support hot-swap or power sequencing scenarios?
Yes, the SN64BCT25245DWRG4 enters a guaranteed high-impedance state when VCC is below approximately 3 V, ensuring both A and B ports remain isolated during power-up and power-down transitions. This behavior prevents bus contention in hot-plug systems and supports safe power sequencing in multi-rail industrial designs - verified by measured IOZ < 70 µA during VCC ramp.
How does the SN64BCT25245DWRG4 differ from standard 74-series transceivers like the 74LS245?
Unlike 74LS245, the SN64BCT25245DWRG4 uses BiCMOS technology to achieve significantly higher sink current (188 mA vs. ~24 mA), enabling direct 25-Ω line driving without external termination. It also features distributed VCC/GND pins and data-flow-through pinout for reduced noise and simplified layout - advantages confirmed in TI's SCBS060A datasheet for industrial bus reliability.
What package and environmental compliance does the SN64BCT25245DWRG4 have?
SN64BCT25245DWRG4 is supplied in a 24-pin SOIC (DW) package with NiPdAu lead finish, RoHS-compliant and halogen-free (Green), rated MSL Level-1 (unlimited floor life), and qualified for −40°C to 85°C operation. The "G4" suffix denotes TI's green packaging standard per JS709B, with device marking "6BCT25245" laser-etched on the top surface.
Can the SN64BCT25245DWRG4 be used with 3.3-V logic systems?
No - the SN64BCT25245DWRG4 is specified only for 4.5 V to 5.5 V VCC operation and TTL-compatible input thresholds (VIL = 0.8 V, VIH = 2.0 V). It is not 3.3-V tolerant: applying 3.3-V signals to inputs or outputs risks violating absolute maximum ratings (e.g., VI > 5.5 V on I/O ports), and its 188-mA drive is optimized for 5-V 25-Ω line matching, not 3.3-V systems.
